Eligible Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their entitlement (see

Section 4.3 for details).

Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer will be rounded to the nearest whole number. Subject to the eligibility requirements in Section 4.4 , Option holders who exercise their Options after the date of this Prospectus but before the Entitlement Offer Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Under the Bonus Offer, New Partly Paid Shares are being offered for no cash consideration to Eligible Bonus Offer Shareholders on the basis of 1 New Partly Paid Share for every 2 Shares held on the Bonus Offer Record Date. The New Partly Paid Shares will be deemed to be paid up to $0.001 upon issue. Each New Partly Paid Share has a total issue price of $0.05 and an initial unpaid amount of $0.049.

As the Company is a ‘no liability’ company, a holder of a New Partly Paid Share is not under any contractual obligation to pay a call in respect of the unpaid amount of a New Partly Paid Share. However, if a call is not paid, the New Partly Paid Share will be liable to forfeiture and may be sold by the Company via public auction. Please see Section 8.4 for full terms of the New Partly Paid Shares.

The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the New Partly Paid Shares however there is no guarantee that ASX will approve the Company’s application or that the New Partly Paid Shares will meet the spread requirements under the ASX Listing Rules. If the New Partly Paid Shares are not quoted, the Offers will proceed in any event and holders will be unable to trade the New Partly Paid Shares on the ASX.

Entitlements under the Bonus Offer will be rounded to the nearest whole number. Subject to the eligibility requirements in Section 4.4 , Optionholders who exercise their Options after the date of this Prospectus but before the Bonus Offer Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Bonus Offer.

Applicants are not required to apply for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer in order to accept their entitlement to New Partly Paid Shares under the Bonus Offer. However, Eligible Bonus Offer Shareholders will not receive their entitlement to New Partly Paid Shares (if any) unless they submit an Entitlement Offer Application or a completed Bonus Offer Acceptance Form.

Eligible Bonus Offer Shareholders are being sent this Prospectus together with a Bonus Offer Acceptance Form and are invited to apply for New Partly Paid Shares. The Bonus Offer opens on 12 May 2014 and closes at 5.00pm (WST) on 21 July 2014.

4.2 Purpose of the Offers

Entitlement Offer

The purpose of the Entitlement Offer is to raise up to $732,406 (before costs) to enable the Company to:

  • advance exploration of the Piedrecillas project (Chile) and

  • evaluate new projects which have the potential to add value to the Company’s portfolio.

Assuming that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed , the funds raised under the Entitlement Offer are planned to be used in accordance with the table set out below:

Use of funds Amount
Piedrecillas exploration $250,000
New project evaluation $250,00
Working capital $206,406
Expenses of the Offer (excluding GST) $26,000
Total $732,406

The above table is a statement of the Board’s current intention as at the date of this Prospectus. However, Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to:

  • the outcome of operational and development activities,

  • success of new project evaluations

  • regulatory developments,

  • market and general economic conditions and

  • environmental factors.

In light of this, the Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.

Bonus Offer

The purpose of the Bonus Offer is to reward Eligible Bonus Offer Shareholders for their loyalty and to provide those Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the continued growth of the Company. Please note, however, that Eligible Bonus Offer Shareholders will not receive their entitlement to New Partly Paid Shares unless they either submit an Entitlement Offer Application or a completed Bonus Offer Acceptance Form.

9

No funds will initially be raised from the issue of the New Partly Paid Shares. The proceeds received from any calls on the New Partly Paid Shares, however, are intended to be applied towards meeting working capital requirements of the Company relevant at, or about, the time of the call at the discretion of the Board.

4.3 Additional New Shares

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer ( Additional New Shares ) on the Entitlement Offer Application form

Any Additional New Shares will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full entitlement (i.e. that form part of the Shortfall) or from New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they had been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Additional New Shares will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders, if and to the extent that the Company so determines, in its absolute discretion, having regard to circumstances as at the time of the close of the Entitlement Offer and subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The Company may apply any scale-back in its absolute discretion. The Company decision on the number of Additional New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders will be final.

To the extent that there remains any Shortfall in the take-up of the Entitlement Offer following allocations of Additional New Shares, the Directors reserve the right to issue the Shortfall at their discretion.

Eligible Shareholders may not apply for New Partly Paid Shares in excess of their entitlement under the Bonus Offer.

Please see Section 4.5 for information regarding the treatment of foreign Shareholders.

10

Eligible Shareholders for the purposes of the Bonus Offer are those persons who:

  • are registered as a holder of Shares as at 5.00pm (WST) on 18 July 2014; and

  • have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand or are otherwise eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer of New Partly Paid Shares under the Bonus Offer

( Eligible Bonus Offer Shareholders ).

Please note Partly Paid Shareholders not be eligible to participate on the Bonus Offer in relation to their Partly Paid Shareholding.

Please see Section 4.5 for information regarding the treatment of foreign Shareholders.

4.5 Treatment of foreign Shareholders

This Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Forms do not constitute an offer of New Securities in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. Return of a completed Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form or payment to the Company via BPAY® will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicant that it is eligible to receive an offer of, and be issued, New Securities under the Entitlement Offer and the Bonus Offer and that there has been no breach of applicable securities laws. Return of a completed Bonus Offer Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicant that it is eligible to receive an offer of, and be issued, New Partly Paid Shares under the Bonus Offer and that there has been no breach of applicable securities laws.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and anyone who receives this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Securities or the Offers, or otherwise permit a public offering of New Securities, in any jurisdiction outside Australia. New Securities may not be offered or sold in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

New Zealand

The New Securities are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Securities is being made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand). This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Securities Act 1978 (New Zealand). This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

Ineligible Shareholders

Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders

The Company has determined, in reliance on ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offers to Ineligible Shareholders, having regard to:

  • the small number of Ineligible Shareholders;

11

  • the small number and value of the New Securities which would be offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they were Eligible Shareholders; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in the respective overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, these Offers are not being extended to any Shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand unless that Shareholder would be eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer of, and be issued, New Securities under the Offers. The Company will notify all Ineligible Shareholders of the Offers and advise that the Company is not extending the Offers to those Shareholders.

4.6 Nominees, trustees and custodians

The foreign selling restrictions summarised in Section 4.5 apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees or custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder.

Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons who are resident outside Australia or New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that accepting an Offer and receiving New Securities does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdictions. Return of a completed Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form or payment via BPAY® will constitute a representation by the applicant that there has been no breach of such regulations with respect to the Entitlement Offer and the Bonus Offer. Return of a completed Bonus Offer Acceptance Form will constitute a representation by the applicant that there has been no breach of such regulations with respect to the Bonus Offer.

Shareholders who are nominees, trustees and custodians are therefore advised to seek independent advice as how they should proceed. Failure to comply with restrictions set out in this Prospectus may result in violations of applicable securities laws.

4.7

No rights trading

Entitlements under the Offers are non-renounceable and accordingly cannot be traded on the ASX or any other stock exchange, or privately transferred.

4.8

Minimum subscription

There is no minimum level of subscription for either Offer.

4.9 Ranking of New Securities

New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally in all respect with existing Shares. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares is set out in Section 8.2 .

New Partly Paid Shares to be issued pursuant to the Bonus Offer will be issued on a partly paid basis and will rank equally in all respect with existing Shares subject to the terms and conditions set out in Section 8.4 .

4.10 Underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten.

12

4.11 Shortfall

If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement, you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall.

If any Shortfall remains after Shareholders have taken up their Entitlements, the Directors reserve the right pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 2) to allot and issue any Shortfall with parties selected by them.

All Shortfall will be placed within 3 months of the Closing Date and will be issued on the same terms as are being offered to Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Company will not place any Shortfall to any person if it may result in that person breaching the Corporations Act.

4.12 Issue of New Securities

The issue of New Securities under this Prospectus will occur in accordance with the timetable set out in Section 3. Upon New Securities being issued under each Offer, holding statements will be issued to applicants as required by ASX. It is the responsibility of applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the New Securities. Applicants who sell their New Securities before they receive their holding statement will do so at their own risk.

4.13 Application Monies

All Application Monies for New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will be held in the Application Account on behalf of applicants until the New Shares are issued or, if the New Shares are not issued, until the Application Monies are returned to applicants. All interest earned on Application Monies (including those which do not result in the issue of New Shares) will be retained by the Company.

Amounts received by the Company in excess of an applicant’s entitlement ( Excess Amount ) may be treated as application to apply for as many Additional New Shares as the Excess Amount will pay for in full. Alternatively, such Entitlement Offer Applications may not be accepted.

Any Applications Monies received for more than an applicant’s final allocation of New Shares and Additional New Shares (if any) will be refunded as soon as practicable after the Entitlement Offer Closing Date.

If the New Shares are not issued to an applicant, a cheque will be drawn and the relevant Application Monies will be refunded as soon as practicable after the Entitlement Offer Closing Date.

4.14 ASX quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for quotation of the New Securities offered under this Prospectus.

If approval for quotation of the New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer is not granted within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all Application Monies without interest as soon as practicable.

The Bonus Offer will proceed irrespective of whether or not the Company obtains approval for quotation of the New Partly Paid Shares on the ASX. The Entitlement Offer will be

13

unaffected in the event that the Company fails to obtain quotation of the New Partly Paid Shares.

4.15 CHESS

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

ASX Settlement will send a CHESS statement to Shareholders who are broker sponsored following the completion of each Offer. Each CHESS statement will set out the number of New Securities issued to the Shareholder under this Prospectus, and provide details of the Shareholder’s holder identification number and the participant identification number of the sponsor. CHESS allotment advices will be sent by the Share Registry.

The Share Registry will send a statement to Shareholders who are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register following the completion of each Offer. Each statement will contain the number of New Securities issued to the Shareholder under this Prospectus and the Shareholder’s security holder 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.

4.16 Privacy disclosure

Persons who apply for New Securities under this Prospectus are asked to provide personal information to the Company, either directly or through the Share Registry. The Company and the Share Registry collect, hold and use that personal information to assess applications, to provide facilities and services to security holders and to carry out various administrative functions. Access to the information collected may be provided to the Company’s agents and service providers and to ASX, ASIC and other regulatory bodies on the basis that they deal with such information in accordance with the relevant privacy laws. If the information requested is not supplied, Applications may not be processed. In accordance with privacy laws, information collected in relation to specific Shareholders can be obtained by that Shareholder through contacting the Company or the Share Registry.

4.17 Taxation

It is the responsibility of all Shareholders to satisfy themselves of the particular taxation treatment that applies to them in relation to the Offers by consulting their own professional tax advisers. Neither the Company nor the Directors accept any liability or responsibility in respect of the taxation consequences for Shareholders as a result of the matters referred to in this Prospectus.

  • in respect of the full Application Monies (being $0.04 multiplied by the number of New Shares (including any Additional New Shares) they wish to subscribe for); and

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution; and

  • made payable to ‘Cobre Montana NL – Application Account’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.

Applicants should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount of the cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of New Shares applied for in the Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form in full, the applicant will be taken to have applied for the lower number of whole New Shares as the cleared Application Monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares in the Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form). Alternatively, the Entitlement Offer Application will be rejected.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Applicants need to ensure that their completed Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form and cheque, bank draft or money order reaches the Share Registry at the address below by no later than 5.00pm (WST) on 4 June 2014.

Completed Entitlement Offer Acceptance Forms should be returned to the Share Registry at the following address:

Advanced Share Registry Ltd PO Box 1156 Nedlands WA 6909 Australia

Option 2: Pay via BPAY® payment

To follow option 2, applicants should pay the full Application Monies, being $0.04 multiplied by the number of New Shares comprising their entitlement (plus any Additional New Shares), or, if subscribing for only part of their entitlement, the number of New Shares the applicant wishes to subscribe for, via BPAY® payment in accordance with the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form (which includes the biller code and the applicant’s unique customer reference number). Applicants can only make a payment via BPAY® if they are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution.

Please note that if payment is made by BPAY®:

  • the applicant does not need to submit the personalised Entitlement Offer Acceptance Form but is taken to make the statements on that form; and

  • if the applicant subscribes for less than its entitlement or does not pay for its full entitlement, the applicant is taken to have taken up its entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by the Application Monies.

Applicants need to ensure that their BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5.00pm (WST) on 4 June 2014. Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds are submitted through BPAY® by the date and time mentioned above.

Bonus Offer

Applicants who do not wish to take up all or part of their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer but do wish to accept their entitlement under the Bonus Offer should complete the Bonus Offer Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus in accordance with the instructions set out on that form.

No payment is required to be made by applicants under the Bonus Offer.

Applicants who return a Bonus Offer Acceptance Form are deemed to accept the number of New Partly Paid Shares that they are entitled to (if any) as at the Bonus Offer Record Date.

Applicants need to ensure that their completed Bonus Offer Acceptance Form reaches the Share Registry at the address below by no later than 5.00pm (WST) on 21 July 2014.

Completed Bonus Offer Acceptance Forms should either be returned to the Share Registry at the following address:

Advanced Share Registry Ltd PO Box 1156 Nedlands WA 6909 Australia

Or via email to [email protected]

Bonus Offer Acceptance Forms may not be accepted if received after 5.00pm (WST) on 21 July 2014.

6.2

6.3 Effect of the Offers on control

Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is a pro rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlements, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Entitlement Offer on control of the Company other than the dilution of any Ineligible Shareholders who are unable to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

The Company will not place any Shortfall to any person if it may result in that person breaching the Corporations Act.

Bonus Offer

The Bonus Offer is a pro rata offer made to all Eligible Shareholders. The proportional shareholdings of any Ineligible Shareholders and Eligible Shareholders who do not accept their entitlements in full will be diluted up to the extent of the amount paid up on the New Partly Paid Shares.

6.4 Pro forma statement of financial position

Set out on the following page is the audited statement of financial position for the Company at 31 December 2013, unaudited statement of financial position at 31 March 2014 and pro forma statement of financial position at 31 March 2014. The unaudited pro forma statement of financial position has been prepared on the basis and assumption that there have been no material movements in the assets and liabilities of the Company between 31 March 2014 and completion of the Offers other than:

  • (a) the issue of 18,310,138 New Shares through the Entitlement Offer raising up to $706,406 after deducting expenses of $26,000; and

  • (b) the issue of 45,746,096 New Partly Paid Shares under the Bonus Offer.

7. RISK FACTORS

As with any share investment, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The numerous risk factors are both of a specific and a general nature. Some can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated.

This Section 7 identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their stockbroker, lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for New Securities.

7.1

Specific risks

(a) Quotation of New Partly Paid Shares

The Company will apply for quotation of the New Partly Paid Shares on the ASX. However, there is no guarantee that ASX will approve the Company’s application for quotation or that the Company will meet the spread requirements for the New Partly Paid Shares under the ASX Listing Rules. If the New Partly Paid Shares are not quoted then holders will be unable to trade the New Partly Paid Shares on the ASX.

(b) Operating risks

The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • adverse geological conditions;

  • limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity;

  • disruption of operations due to earthquakes and tsunamis;

  • unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling and production activities;

  • mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment;

  • industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;

  • unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and

  • the inability to obtain necessary consents or approvals.

Further, mechanical or operational failures during drilling, sampling and test work could cause the Company substantial loss due to the cost of personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. Any of these events might also give rise to claims against the Company.

24

(c) Country risk

The Company is developing project in foreign jurisdictions, principally Chile, and has non-core assets in the Republic of South Africa. The Company is actively pursuing disposal of the South African assets to mitigate risk however acknowledges that specific country risks exist in Chile. In particular recent changes in government have brought changes in policy not all of which are clear at this stage. While the newly installed president (March 2014) has presided over a coalition government in that country from 2006 to 2010, the current coalition has a different composition to the president’s previous government which may result in policy changes that directly impact on the mining industry.

(d)

Future funding requirements

Even if the Offer is completed successfully, it is likely that the Company will require additional funding in the future in order to develop its business, including the exploration and acquisition of additional projects. It is also likely that the Company will also need to undertake an additional capital raising to raise additional funds to meet the project development costs as well as administration and working capital costs in the medium to long term.

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. Further, there can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available for the Company on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern.

Accordingly, 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.

(e) Exploration risk

There is no assurance that economic mineral deposits will be discovered in the areas in which the Company has an interest. Even if mineralization is discovered in those areas, there is no assurance that commercial operations will be forthcoming.

(f) Product price fluctuations

The price for products produced from projects in which the Company has an interest or may have a later interest consist primarily of base metals (principally copper) and precious metals (gold and silver). These metals have terminal markets with pricing determined by supply, demand and sentiment. Prices vary and may be difficult to predict.

(g) Counterparty risks

As part of the Company’s commercial activities, the Company is currently a party to one farm-in agreement and one joint venture and, in the future and may in the future become a party to additional joint venture arrangements and other various contracts with third parties for the supply of products and services, sales contracts and financial instruments, among other things. An inability of counterparties to meet their commitments under such contracts may have an impact on the Company’s financial position.

25

(h) Title risk

The permits in which the Company will, or may, in the future, acquire an interest, are subject to the applicable local laws and regulations. There is no guarantee that any permits, in which the Company has a current or potential interest will be granted.

Permits (or applications) in which the Company has an interest are (or, if granted, will be) subject to the relevant conditions applying in each jurisdiction. Failure to comply with these conditions may render the permits liable to forfeiture.

All of the projects in which the Company has an interest will be subject to application for permit renewal from time to time. Renewal of the term of each permit is subject to applicable legislation. If the permit is not renewed for any reason, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that permit.

(i)

Regulatory approvals

Any successful exploitation of discoveries would require obtaining the necessary production permit and the relevant regulatory approvals as required by the relevant Government of operation (the Company’s current projects are regulated by Australian regulatory bodies. The required approvals may be issued at the discretion of the relevant authorities and/or subject to conditions or preconditions.

7.2 General risks

(a) Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, the Company must attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

(b) Foreign exchange risks

In the future a proportion of the Company’s revenues, cash inflows, other expenses, capital expenditure and commitments may be denominated in foreign currencies. In particular the Company’s operations in Chile are paid in Chilean Pesos but transfers from Australia to Chile must be affected in US dollars. These regular transactions can create significant exchange risks.

To comply with Australian reporting requirements, the income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company will need to be accounted for in Australian dollars. This will result in the income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company being exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between other currencies and the Australian dollar, as determined in international markets.

Furthermore, the Company has decided to not put in place any hedges in relation to foreign exchange. This may result in the Company being exposed to exchange rate risk, which may have an adverse impact on the profitability and/or financial position of the Company.

26

(c) Investment risks

The New Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business. There is no guarantee as to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the New Securities. The prices at which an investor may be able to trade the New Securities may be above or below the price paid by the investor for the New Securities.

Prospective investors must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate to their own circumstances.

(d) Share market risks

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. The market price of the New Securities may be subject to fluctuation and may be affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • general economic outlook;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • commodity price fluctuations;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital;

  • terrorism or other hostilities; and

  • natural disasters

There is also no guarantee that an active market in the New Securities will develop or that the price of the New Securities will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of New Securities on the ASX at any particular time:

(e) Competition risks

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, and such activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

(f) Economy risks

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of factors which may affect the performance of all industries and not just the exploration and mining industries including, but not limited to, the following:

  • general economic conditions;

27

  • changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;

  • the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world and, in particular, investment sentiment towards the commodities sector;

  • movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates; and

  • natural disasters, social upheaval or war.

28

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a security holder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a security holder shall, in respect of each fully paid security held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the security, but in respect of partly paid securities shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such securities registered in the security holder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to securities with special rights to dividend, the Directors may declare a final dividend out of profits in accordance with the Corporations Act and may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the shareholders of such a dividend. The Directors may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the security holders of such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to securities with special rights as to dividend, all dividends are to be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid. The Company may not pay interest in respect of any dividend, whether final or interim.

(d) Winding up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the security holders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the

32

division is to be carried out as between the security holders or different classes of security holders. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any securities or other securities in respect of which there is any liability. Where an order is made for the winding-up of the Company or it is resolved by special resolution to wind up the Company, then on a distribution of assets to members, any securities classified as restricted securities at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other securities.

(e) Transfer of securities

Generally, securities in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act.

(f) Variation of rights

Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of security holders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to securities.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of securities, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the securities of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued securities of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the securities of that class.

8.4 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Partly Paid Shares

The New Partly Paid Shares will rank equally in all respects with fully paid ordinary shares on issue, subject to the following terms and conditions, notwithstanding any differences in the amount that the New Partly Paid Shares are paid up to.

  • (a) Each New Partly Paid Share:

  • (i) will be allotted and issued at a total issue price of $0.05 per New Partly Paid Share;

  • (ii) is deemed to be paid up to $0.001;

  • (iii) has an initial unpaid amount of $0.049;

  • (iv) carries the right to participate in new issues of securities to holders of fully paid Shares (except bonus issues) to the extent of the New Partly Paid shares being paid up;

  • (v) carries the right to participate in bonus issues of securities in the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) and, further, each holder of New Partly Paid Shares ( Partly Paid Shareholder ) will be notified by the Company of any

33

proposed bonus issue of securities at least 14 days prior to the record date for any such issue;

  • (vi) carries the right to vote in the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited); and

  • (vii) carries the right to participate in dividends on the same basis as if the New Partly Paid Shares were fully paid up unless a call has been made on the New Partly Paid Shares and that call is due and unpaid.

  • (b) At least 15 Business Days’ notice of any call will be provided to Partly Paid Shareholders.

  • (c) The Company will not make any call in respect of the unpaid amount within the first 6 months following the issue of the New Partly Paid Shares. After that date, the Company will not call more than $0.02 in any 6 month period.

  • (d) If the Company is listed on ASX, the Company will apply to have the fully paid Shares (that have come about as a result of the Partly Paid Shareholder paying the unpaid amount in full) listed for quotation by ASX within 10 days of the date of any such payment of the unpaid amount.

  • (e) Subject to meeting the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, the New Partly Paid Shares will be quoted on the ASX.

  • (f) Should there be any conflict between these terms and the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Listing Rules will prevail.

  • (g) If the Company is listed on ASX and there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company (including, but not limited to, a consolidation, subdivision, cancellation, reduction or return of capital):

  • (i) the number of New Partly Paid Shares must be reorganised in the same proportion as all other classes of shares on issue; and

  • (ii) the reorganisation must not involve a cancellation or reduction of the total amount payable and unpaid by Partly Paid Shareholders.

  • (h) In accordance with Part 2H.3 of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, New Partly Paid Shareholders do not have a contractual obligation to pay calls in respect of the unpaid amount on their New Partly Paid Shares. However, the New Partly Paid Shares the subject of a call will be liable to forfeiture if a call remains unpaid at the end of 14 Business Days after it became payable. Forfeited New Partly Paid Shares may then be sold by the Company by public auction in accordance with the Corporations Act.
