Letter from the Chairman

Dear Shareholder

The Company is pleased to offer shareholders the opportunity to further participate in the development of Liontown Resources Limited ( Liontown or the Company ) by participating in an Entitlement Offer to fast-track exploration drilling at its emerging Jubilee Reef Project in Tanzania, East Africa.

The funds from the Entitlement Offer will be used to underpin a major new drilling program comprising over 14,000m of reverse circulation (“RC”) and aircore drilling to follow up recent broad intersections of gold mineralisation.

The raising will be undertaken through a 1-for-3 pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue ( Entitlement Offer ) to shareholders at 3.5 cents per New Share. The Company will also issue 1 free attaching New Option for every 3 New Shares subscribed. Each free attaching New Option will have an exercise price of 5 cents and will expire on the third anniversary of the date of issue. Application will be made to list the New Options on ASX.

The Entitlement Offer is underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited with firm commitments being received by several of the Company’s largest shareholders, including myself, in respect to our respective shareholdings.

All Shareholders with address in Australia and New Zealand and registered as at 5:00pm (WST) on Tuesday, 4 September 2012 will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. The closing date for the Entitlement Offer is 5:00pm (WST) on Thursday, 20 September 2012.

Shareholders are also invited to subscribe for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement.

The Jubilee Reef Project is located in the world-class Lake Victoria Goldfield. Drilling during 2011 and 2012 from the Masabi Hill and the Shangaza/Panapendesa prospects has confirmed the potential for economic mineralisation.

Liontown has the right to earn 51% by drilling 14,000 metres by December 2012 (approximately 11,000 metres has been drilled so far). At that stage, Liontown can elect to sole fund to completion of a definitive feasibility study or the joint venture parties, being Liontown and Currie Rose Inc ( Currie Rose ) form a contributing joint venture of Liontown 51% and Currie Rose 49%.

The Company plans 5,400 metres of RC drilling which is aimed at further defining strike and dip extensions of significant intersections at the Masabi Hill prospect as well as following up on other known targets. Approximately 9,000 metres of aircore drilling is also proposed which will further define the extent of gold mineralisation across the broader Jubilee Reef Project and identify further RC drilling targets.

At the time of lodging this Prospectus, all the other Directors and their nominees have indicated that they will take up a majority of their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.

On behalf of the Board, I commend the Entitlement Offer to you. Before making your decision to invest, I ask you to carefully read the Prospectus and seek professional advice if required. The Company is at an exciting stage in its development and the Company has particular pleasure in offering its Shareholders the opportunity to participate in its further development.

Kind regards

Tim Goyder - Chairman

1.2 Fractional Entitlements

Fractional Entitlements of the Entitlement Offer will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Securities. For this purpose, holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements.

1.3 Brokerage and Stamp Duty Costs

No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Eligible Shareholders on the issue of New Securities under this Prospectus.

1.4

Underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Underwriter ). The Company and the Underwriter have entered into an underwriting agreement whereby the Underwriter agreed to underwrite the New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer at the Offer Price.

The Underwriter has received firm commitments for the Entitlements representing

41,669,431 New Shares.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter proposed to enter into subunderwriting arrangements in relation to its underwriting obligations. If the Underwriter is unable to obtain binding sub-underwriting commitments for a minimum number of 47,706,533 New Shares, then the Underwriter will be relieved of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement. As of the date of the Prospectus, the Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting arrangements for 56,277,963 New Shares.

A summary of the Underwriting Agreement (including the circumstances in which it may be terminated) is set out in Section 6.4.

1.5 Opening and Closing Date

The Entitlement Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on Thursday, 6 September 2012. The Closing Date for acceptance of your Entitlement is 5.00 pm WST on Thursday, 20 September 2012.

The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to extend the last date for receipt of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or to delay or withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time without prior notice, in which case all Application Monies for New Shares which have not been issued will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable.

1.6 Purpose of the Entitlement Offer

The Company expects to receive approximately $3.428 million under the Entitlement Offer (before costs) and proposes to use the proceeds as set out in Section 2.

1.7 Entitlements under the Offer

Eligible Shareholders who are on the Company's Share register at the close of business on the Record Date, being Tuesday, 4 September 2012, will receive rights to acquire 1 New Share for every 3 Shares held, at the Offer Price of 3.5 cents per New Share. The Eligible Shareholders will also receive a free attaching New Option for every 3 New Shares subscribed under the Entitlement Offer. Each free attaching New Option will have an exercise price of 5 cents and will expire on the third anniversary of the date of issue.

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out an Eligible Shareholder's Entitlement to New Securities accompanies this Prospectus.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, and therefore the Entitlements are not transferable and cannot be traded on the ASX or any other exchange or privately transferred. Eligible Shareholders will not receive any value if they do not take up their Entitlement for New Securities.

1.8

Application for Additional Securities

Eligible Shareholders (other than directors and related parties of the Company) may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full, apply for Additional Securities (ie. additional New Shares and New Options) in excess of their Entitlements. Additional Securities will only be available where there is a shortfall between Applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of New Securities proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. Additional Securities will be issued at the Offer Price of 3.5 cents per New Share with a free attaching New Option for every 3 additional New Shares subscribed.

Eligible Shareholders who have applied for Additional Securities will receive all Additional Securities they have applied for, unless there is an over subscription for Additional Securities, in which case all applications for Additional Securities will be scaled back on a pro rata basis having regard to the number of Additional Securities applied for by each Eligible Shareholder.

In the event Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Securities are allocated a lesser number of Additional Securities than applied for, or are allocated no Additional Securities, any excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest.

7

If any shortfall remains after the allocation of Additional Securities to Eligible Shareholders as described above ( Shortfall ), the Shortfall will be dealt with by the Underwriter in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. In the event that the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, the Directors reserve the right to issue the Shortfall at their discretion.

1.9 Application required for New Securities

A detailed explanation of the actions required by Eligible Shareholders to apply for New Securities is set out in Section 3.

1.10 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer

The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder whose registered address as at the Record Date is outside of Australia or New Zealand having regard to:

  • (a) the number of Shareholders outside these jurisdictions;

  • (b) the number and value of the New Securities that could be offered outside these jurisdictions; and

  • (c) the cost of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside these jurisdictions.

This Prospectus has not been and will not be registered under the securities laws of jurisdictions outside these jurisdictions. Accordingly, no Entitlement and Acceptance Forms will be sent, and no offer will be made, to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. This Prospectus (without an Entitlement and Acceptance Form) will be sent to them for information purposes only.

Eligible Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed.

Non-Australian Eligible Shareholders should note that the Entitlement Offer is being conducted in accordance with the laws in force in Australia and the Listing Rules.

The Entitlement Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand). Members of the public in New Zealand who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any New Shares.

Recipients of this Prospectus may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia (other than to Eligible Shareholders).

1.11 Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Entitlement Offer.

1.12 Applying for quotation of New Securities

The Company will apply to the ASX within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for the New Securities (ie. the New Shares and New Options) to be granted quotation.

8

The fact that the ASX may grant official quotation of the New Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Securities now offered for subscription.

1.13 Allotment of New Securities under the Entitlement Offer

New Securities will be issued only after all Application Monies has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Securities to be quoted. It is expected that New Securities will be allotted on or about Thursday, 27 September 2012 and normal trading of the New Securities on ASX is expected to commence on or about Friday, 28 September 2012.

All Application Monies received before New Securities are allotted will be held in a special purpose account. After any Application Money is refunded (if required) and New Securities are allotted to Applicants, the balance of funds in the account plus any accrued interest will be received by the Company.

If the New Shares are not quoted by ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will refund all Application Monies in full (without interest).

If ASX has granted permission for the New Shares to be quoted on ASX but not the New Options, the New Share and New Options will still be allotted. However, the New Options will not be admitted to official quotation. No Application Monies will be repaid if the New Options offered under this Prospectus are not admitted to official quotation.

1.14 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS, operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement hat set out the number of New Securities issued to each successful Applicant under this Prospectus

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation before trading in the New Securities. Applicants who sell New Securities before they receive their statement do so at their own risk.

1.15 Effect of the Entitlement Offer on the Control of Liontown

Generally, Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full should not have their interest in the Company diluted by the Entitlement Offer (subject to immaterial movements as a result of rounding of Entitlements).

The potential effect of the Entitlement Offer on the control of the Company is as follows:

  • If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then the Entitlement Offer will have no significant effect on the control of the Company.

  • If some Eligible Shareholders do not take up all of their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then the interests of those Eligible Shareholders will be diluted.

9

  • The proportional interests of Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will be diluted because those Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

  • The Entitlement Offer is underwritten. If the Underwriter is required to take up its commitment under the Underwriting Agreement after it has put in place subunderwriting arrangements in respect of 56,277,963New Shares and no Eligible Shareholder takes up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer other than the Eligible Shareholders who have provided their firm commitments to subscribe for New Shares, the Underwriter would acquire no New Shares or New Options. If neither the sub-underwriters and the providers of the firm commitments meet their obligations, the Underwriter would acquire a maximum of 97,947,394 New Shares resulting in the Underwriter acquiring a maximum voting power in the Company of 25%. The Underwriter would also receive 32,649,131 New Options which if exercised would result in the Underwriter having a maximum voting power in the Company of 30.77% (assuming that the Company has not issued any further Shares and no other optionholders have exercised their Options).

1.16 Rights attaching to New Securities

The New Shares issued under this Prospectus will be on a fully paid basis and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.

A summary of the important rights attaching to the New Securities is contained in Section 4 of this Prospectus.

1.17 Risk Factors

An investment in the Company carries certain risks that may impact on the future profitability of the Company and the value of the Company's securities. The New Securities should be considered speculative. The Directors recommend that potential investors carefully consider this Prospectus and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for New Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

The risk factors affecting an investment in the Company are discussed in Section 5 of this Prospectus.

Ineligible Foreign Shareholders may not take any of the steps set out in Sections 3.2 to 3.3.

3.2 Taking up all or part of your Entitlement

You may take up all or part of your Entitlement by completing the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and attaching payment to reach Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited ( Share Registry ) by no later than 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date or by paying by BPay[®] .

The Offer Price for each New Share accepted under your Entitlement is payable on application. You have the following payment options:

  • By attaching to your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form a cheque, bank or money order in Australian currency for the amount of your Application Monies to "Liontown Resources Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable” .

  • You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Securities you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared application monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your Application will not be accepted.

  • If paying via BPay[®] :

  • (i) Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment and it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds are submitted through BPay® by the date and time mentioned above;

  • (ii) you must follow the instructions for BPay® set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

15

  • (iii) you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make each of the statements and representations on that form; and

  • (iv) if you subscribe for less than your Entitlement or do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have accepted your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Securities which is covered in full by your application monies.

3.3 Applying for Additional Securities

As detailed in Section 1.8 above, Eligible Shareholders (other than Directors and related parties of the Company) may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full, apply for Additional Securities in excess of their Entitlements.

If you wish to subscribe for Additional Securities in addition to your Entitlement, then you should nominate the maximum number of Additional Securities you wish to subscribe for on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and make payment for your full Entitlement and the Additional Securities (at the Offer Price of $0.035 for each Additional Share).

If your payment is being made by BPay[®] :

  • you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make each of the statements and representations on that form; and

  • if your payment exceeds the amount payable for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have accepted your Entitlement in full and to have applied for such number of Additional Securities which is covered in full by your Application Monies.

Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Securities may be allocated a lesser number of Additional Securities than applied for, or may be allocated no Additional Securities at all, in which case excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest.

3.4

Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse

If you wish to allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse, you are not obliged to do anything in relation to that part of your Entitlement.

Entitlements of Eligible Shareholders are non-renounceable, which prevents Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to accept some or all of their Entitlement from transferring, selling or trading their rights on ASX.

If the Company is wound up whether voluntarily or otherwise, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, divide amongst the Shareholders in specie or kind, the whole or any part of the assets of the Company and may for that purpose, set such value as the liquidator considers fair upon any property to be so divided and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of shareholders of the Company.

(d) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to satisfying the requirements of the Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the ASX Clear Operating Rules and the Corporations Act.

  • (g) There will be no change to the exercise price of a New Option or the number of Shares over which a New Option is exercisable in the event of the Company making a pro rata issue of Shares or other securities to the holders of Shares (other than for a bonus issue, see further details in paragraph 4.2(h) below).

  • (h) If there is a bonus issue to Shareholders ( Bonus Issue ), the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the New Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue ( Bonus Shares ).

5. RISKS

5.1 Introduction

There are a number of factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature to the business and economic climate which may, either individually or in combination, affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company, its prospects, its investment returns and the value of the Shares. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risks set out in this Section.

The risks have been separated into Company specific risks (described under Section 5.2) and risks associated with investing in the market generally (described under Section 5.3). The Company's specific risks have been based on an assessment by the Directors of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it is to occur. This assessment was based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus and therefore there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of the different risks referred to below will not change.

Prospective investors should note that this Section is not an exhaustive list of the risks associated with an investment in the Company and it should be considered in conjunction with other information disclosed in this Prospectus.

5.2

Company Specific Risks

(a) Overseas Risk – Projects in Tanzania

The Company's main project is the Jubilee Reef Project which comprises a 60km[2] tenement package located in the Lake Victoria Goldfield of northern Tanzania. The Company has entered into an agreement with Canadian listed Currie Resources Inc to earn up to 75% equity interest in the Jubilee Reef Project. Liontown has the right to earn 51% by drilling 14,000 metres by December 2012 (approx 11,000 metres drilled so far). At that stage, Liontown can elect to sole fund to completion of a definitive feasibility study or the parties form a contributing joint venture of Liontown 51% and Currie Rose Inc 49%.

The Company has also entered into a joint venture agreement with Tanzoz Minerals Ltd whereby the Company can earn a 75% equity interest in the Mega Joint Venture Project within three years of the date of the agreement by paying Tanzoz $50,000 per annum and spending a minimum of $50,000 per annum on in-ground exploration. The project consists of a 9.3km[2] prospecting licence located immediately southwest of the Jubilee Reef Project.

As these projects are located in Tanzania, a foreign jurisdiction, investing and operating in foreign jurisdictions carry political, economic and other uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in mining and exploration policies or the personnel administering them, nationalisation or expropriation of property, cancellation or modification of contractual risk, foreign exchange restrictions, currency exchange rate fluctuation, royalty and tax increase and other risks arising out of foreign government sovereignty over the areas in which the Company's operations are conducted. Any of these factors could result in conditions that delay or in fact prevent the Company from exploring or ultimately developing any of its potential foreign projects.

21

(b) Tenure and Access for tenements in Tanzania

Mining and exploration tenements in Tanzania are subject to periodic renewal. Where a licensee has met the terms of the grant renewal will not be denied. However, if development conditions are not met there is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved.

(c) Compulsory Work Obligations for tenements in Tanzania

Tenements in Tanzania are subject to expenditure and work commitments which must be met in order to keep such tenements in good standing. If there is failure to meet the commitments, this could lead to forfeiture of the tenement.

(d) Title of tenements in Queensland

Interests of the Company's tenements in the Company's Mount Windsor Joint Venture Project in Queensland are governed by the respective Queensland legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or permits. Each licence or permit is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in these tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

(e) Licences and permits

The Company's mining exploration activities are dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, tenements, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. Maintaining tenements, obtaining renewals, or getting tenements granted, often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining the required statutory approvals for its proposed activities and that the licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents it holds will be renewed as and when required. There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith.

(f) Exploration and development

Prospective investors should understand that mineral exploration, development and mining are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high rewards. In addition to the normal competition for prospective ground, and the high average costs of discovery of an economic deposit, factors such as demand for commodities, stock market fluctuations affecting access to new capital, sovereign risk, environmental issues, labour disruption, project financing difficulties, foreign currency fluctuations and technical problems all affect the ability of a company to profit from any discovery.

There is no assurance that exploration of the mineral interests currently held by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, including its Jubilee Reef Project and Mega JV Project in Tanzania and its Mount Windsor Joint Venture Project in Queensland, will result in the discovery of an economically viable mineral deposit. Even if an apparently viable mineral deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited.

22

(g) Future capital requirements

The Company's activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantees that the funds raised through the Entitlement Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy in the future. If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company's operations and business strategy.

The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.

(h) Joint venture parties, agents and contractors

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

(i) Potential Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.

(j)

Native title

The Native Title Act recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Company's operations and future plans in relation to its project in Queensland.

Native Title can be extinguished by valid grants of land (such as freehold title) or waters to people other than the Native Title holders or by valid use of land or waters. It can also be extinguished if the indigenous group has lost its connection with the relevant land or waters. Native Title is not necessarily extinguished by the grant of mining leases, although a valid mining lease prevails over Native Title to the extent of any inconsistency for the duration of the title.

Tenements granted before 1 January 1994 are valid or validated by the Native Title Act. For tenements to be validly granted (or renewed) after 1 January 1994, the future act regime established by the Native Title Act must be complied with. The existence of a Native Title claim is not an indication that Native Title in fact exists on the land covered by the claim, as this is a matter ultimately determined by the Federal Court.

23

The Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of mining operations.

(k) Commodity price volatility and foreign exchange risk on revenues and expenses

The revenue the Company may derive through the sale of commodities exposes the income of the Company to commodity price risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for commodities, forward selling by producers, and production cost levels in major metal-producing regions.

Moreover, commodity prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, commodities, as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the price the Company receives for its commodities.

Furthermore, the price of commodities is denominated in United States dollars whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are, and will be taken into account, in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(l)

Resource Estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available through drilling, sampling and similar examinations.

In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company's operations.

(m)

Environmental risks

All phases of the Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.

24

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining and exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures, or production costs, or reduction in levels of production at producing properties, or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

(n) Reliance on key personnel

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.

(o)

Government regulation

The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people, and other matters. Although the exploration and development activities of the Company are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

(p) Mining is inherently dangerous and subject to conditions or events beyond the control of the Company, and any operating hazards could have a material adverse effect on its business

The Company's business operations are subject to risks and hazards inherent in the mining industry. The exploration for and the development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, including: environmental hazards; industrial accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; unusual or unexpected rock formations; structure cave-in or slides; flooding; fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Whether income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development.

25

5.3 General Risks

(a) Share price fluctuations

The New Shares are to be quoted on ASX, where the price may rise or fall relative to the Offer Price. The New Securities issued or sold under this Prospectus carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which they may trade on ASX. The value of the New Securities will be determined by the share market and will be subject to a range of factors, many or all of which may be beyond the control of the Company and the management team.

(b)

Economic factors

Changes in economic and business conditions or government policies in Australia or internationally may affect the fundamentals of the Company's target markets or its cost structure and profitability. Adverse changes in the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, government policy (including fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies), consumer spending, and employment rates, are outside the control of the Company and the management team and may have an adverse effect on the financial performance and/or financial position of the Company.

(c) Changes in Laws and Government Policy

Changes in government regulations and policies (including changes to federal or state mineral resources legislation and royalties and carbon pricing ), both domestically and internationally, may adversely affect the financial performance or the current and proposed operations generally of the Company and the attractiveness of an investment in the Company.

(d)

Taxation

There may be tax implications arising from Applications for New Securities, the receipt of dividends (both franked and unfranked) (if any) from the Company, participation in any on-market Share buy-back and on the disposal of New Securities.

(e) Global credit and investment markets

Global credit, commodity and investment markets have recently experienced a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which have lead to this situation have been outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including the ASX). This may impact the price at which the Securities trade regardless of operating performance, and affect the Company's ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.
