IMPORTANT NOTICES

Shareholders should read this document in its entirety and, if in doubt, should consult their professional advisers.

This Prospectus is dated 18 January 2011. A copy of this Prospectus was lodged with the ASIC and ASX on that date. The ASIC and ASX take no responsibility for the content of this Prospectus.

The expiry date of the Prospectus is 17 February 2012 ( Expiry Date ). No Securities will be allotted or issued on the basis of this Prospectus after the Expiry Date.

Applications for New Shares and New Options offered pursuant to the Offers in this Prospectus can only be submitted on an original Entitlement and Acceptance Forms which accompany this Prospectus.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Failure to comply with these restrictions may violate securities laws. Applicants who are resident in countries other than Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed.

The Entitlement Issue 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 Offers 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 Offers 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.

SECTION 1: SUMM ARY OF IMPORTANT DATES AND IMPORTANT NOTES (cont’d)

IMPORTANT NOTICES (cont’d)

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 Offers may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the New Shares and New Options is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the New Shares and New Options 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 New Shares and New Options 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 noted in the Prospectus at Section 3.7, the Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted, the New Shares and New Options will be able to be traded on the ASX. Shareholders resident in New Zealand wishing to trade the Securities through that market may have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the securities on their behalf. As the ASX 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 Shareholders resident in New Zealand about the Securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.

No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus which is not contained in the Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.

In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors in the Company should be aware that subscribing for Securities the subject of this Prospectus involves a number of specific risks, including (but not limited to):

  • no prior market for the Company’s New Options;

  • exploration and development risks;

  • resource estimates;

  • commodity prices and exchange rates;

  • effect of underwriting on control of the Company;

  • market conditions; and

  • the ability to obtain future funding.

Details of these risks and other risks are set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus and investors are urged to consider those risks carefully (and, if necessary, consult their professional adviser) before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

The risk factors set out in Section 6 of this Prospectus, and other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may in the future affect the value of the Securities. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative.

ELECTRONIC PROSPECTUS

Any person accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company must be an Australian or New Zealand resident and must only access the Prospectus from within Australia or New Zealand.

The Corporations Act prohibits any person passing onto another person an Entitlement and Acceptance Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the complete and unaltered version of this Prospectus. Any person may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company.

SECTION 3: DETAILS OF THE OFFERS (cont’d)

3.6 Shortfall

If you do not wish to take up any part of your Share Entitlement or Option Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Share Entitlement or Option Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall and will be dealt with by the Directors in consultation with the Underwriter, having consideration of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

The offer of the Shortfall is a separate offer pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open after the Closing Date.

Shortfall Shares

Only parties nominated by the Underwriter may apply for Shortfall Shares. The issue price of any Shares offered pursuant to the Shortfall offer shall be $0.30, being the price at which the Share Entitlement Issue has been offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

Shortfall Options

The issue price of any Options offered pursuant to the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.001, being the price at which the Option Entitlement has been offered to Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Directors reserve the right to allot and issue the Shortfall Options progressively at their discretion.

While the Directors intend to deal with applications for the Shortfall Options in a fair and equitable manner as between applicants, the Directors reserve the right to allot to an applicant under the Shortfall Offer a lesser number of Shortfall Options than the number for which the applicant applies, or to reject an application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall Options.

The offer of Shortfall Options will remain open after the Option Entitlement Issue has closed for a period not exceeding 3 months.

3.7 Official Quotation on ASX

Application for official quotation by ASX of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made on the date of this Prospectus. If approval is not obtained from ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as is varied by the ASIC), the Company will not offer any Securities and will repay all application monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

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

3.8 Allotment of Securities

Securities issued pursuant to the Prospectus will be allotted as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Company will allot the Securities on the basis of a Shareholder’s Share Entitlement or Option Entitlement. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending allotment and issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on such bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim any such interest.

3.9 Overseas Shareholders

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any 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 these Securities the subject of this Prospectus or otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities the subject of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction outside Australia.

6

==> picture [158 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 3: DETAILS OF THE OFFERS (cont’d)

3.9 Overseas Shareholders (cont’d)

It is the responsibility of Applicants outside Australia to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment and issue of the Securities pursuant to this Prospectus. The return of a completed Share Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Option Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained.

3.10 Taxation Implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation consequences. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Applicants. Potential Applicants should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

3.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing Share and Option certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Securities allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

3.12 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Securities, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds, and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and Option Holder and carry out administration.

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

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its Share Registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASTC Settlement Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Securities, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

SECTION 5: RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

5.1 Terms of Shares

There is only one class of share on issue in the Company, being fully paid ordinary shares. The rights attaching to Shares are:

  • (a) set out in the constitution of the Company; and

  • (b) in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASTC Settlement Rules and the general law.

The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all Shares and of certain provisions of the Constitution. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

Voting

Subject to any restriction on voting imposed due to a breach of the Listing Rules relating to restricted shares or any escrow agreement entered into by the Company and a member, every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands, and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every Share held by him or her, but, in respect of partly-paid shares, shall have a fraction of a vote for each partly-paid share.

A poll may be demanded before a vote is taken, or before or immediately after the declaration of the result of the show of hands by the chairperson of the meeting, by at least five Shareholders present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative, or by any one or more Shareholders who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of all those Shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution.

Dividends

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, the Company may, as resolved by the Directors, pay dividends out of the Company's profits. The Directors may determine the method and time for payment of the dividend.

Transfer of Shares

Generally, shares are freely transferable, subject to satisfying the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, ASTC Settlement Rules and the Corporations Act.

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by ASX or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.

The Directors may refuse to register any transfer of Shares, other than a market transfer, where permitted or required by the Listing Rules, the ASTC Settlement Rules, the Corporations Act or under the Constitution. The Company must comply with such obligations as may be imposed on it by the Listing Rules and where appropriate the ASTC Settlement Rules in connection with any market transfer and may not prevent, delay or in any way interfere with the registration of a market transfer where to do so would be contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASTC Settlement Rules.

Meetings and Notice

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

Under the Corporations Act, a notice must currently be provided to the shareholders of a listed entity at least 28 days in advance of a meeting.

13

==> picture [158 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 5: RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES (cont’d)

Further issues of Shares

Subject to any restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any special rights of the holders of Shares or a class of Shares, the allotment and issue of Shares is under the control of the Directors, who may issue and cancel shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.

In addition, the Board has the power to grant to any person an option over unissued Shares for such consideration as it determines.

Winding Up

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and any rights and restrictions attached to a class of Shares, on a winding up of the Company any surplus must be divided among the Shareholders in proportion to the Shares held by them.

A liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as the liquidator considers fair on any property to be divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Shareholders, vest the whole or any part of the property in trustees on such trusts for the benefit of contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

Shareholder Liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will, therefore, not become liable for forfeiture.

Alteration to the Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at a general meeting. At least 28 days written notice specifying the nature of the resolution must be given.

Indemnity

The Company (except as may be prohibited by Part 2D of the Corporations Act) indemnifies every officer, auditor and agent of the Company against any liability incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as officer, auditor or agent of the Company or any related corporation in respect of any act or mission whatsoever and howsoever occurring, or in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal.

SECTION 5: RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES (cont’d)

d) Ranking of Share Allotted on Exercise of Option

Each Share allotted as a result of the exercise of any Option will, subject to the Constitution of the Company, rank in all respects pari passu with the existing Shares in the capital of the Company on issue at the date of allotment.

e) Voting

A registered owner of an Option ( Option Holder ) will not be entitled to attend or vote at any meeting of the members of the Company unless they are, in addition to being an Option Holder, a member of the Company.

g) Method of Exercise of an Option

  • (i) The Company will provide to each Option Holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options ( Notice of Exercise of Options ). Options may be exercised by the Option Holder by completing the Notice of Exercise of Options and forwarding the same to the Company Secretary to be received prior to the Expiry Date. The Notice of Exercise of Options must state the number of Options exercised and the consequent number of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to be allotted; which number of Options must be a multiple of 2,500 if only part of the Option Holder’s total Options are exercised, or if the total number of Options held by an Option Holder is less than 2,500, then the total of all Options held by that Option Holder must be exercised.

  • (ii) The Notice of Exercise of Options by an Option Holder must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of shares being subscribed, being an amount of 35 cents ($0.35) per Share.

  • (iii) Subject to paragraph (g)(i) above, the exercise of less than all of an Option Holder’s Options will not prevent the Option Holder from exercising the whole or any part of the balance of the Option Holder’s entitlement under the Option Holder’s remaining Options.

  • (v) If the Company is listed on the ASX, the Company will within 3 business days from the date of issue and allotment of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, apply to the ASX for, and use its best endeavours to obtain, Official Quotation of all such Shares, in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules of the ASX.

  • (vi) The Company will generally comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules in relation to the timetables imposed when quoted Options are due to expire. Where there shall be any inconsistency between the timetables outlined herein regarding the expiry of the Options and the timetable outlined in the Listing Rules, the timetable outlined in the Listing Rules shall apply.

(h) ASX Quotation

The Company will apply for quotation of the Options on the ASX.

(i) Reconstruction

In the event of a reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the Option Holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to the reconstruction of capital, at the time of the reconstruction.

15

==> picture [158 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 5: RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES (cont’d)

(i) Participation in New Share Issues

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in any new issues of capital which may be made or offered by the Company to its shareholders from time to time prior to the expiry date unless and until the Options are exercised. The Company will ensure that during the exercise period, the record date for the purposes of determining entitlements to any new such issue, will be at least seven (7) business days after such new issues are announced (or such other date if required under the Listing Rules) in order to afford the Option Holder an opportunity to exercise the Options held by the Option Holder.

(k) No Change of Options' Exercise Price or Number of Underlying Shares

There are no rights to change the exercise price of the Options or the number of underlying Shares if there is a bonus issue to the holders of ordinary shares. If the Company makes a pro rata issue of securities (except a bonus issue) to the holders of ordinary shares (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Option exercise price shall be reduced according to the formula specified in the Listing Rules.

SECTION 6: RISK FACTORS

6.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the exploration activities of the Company. Potential investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves risks which may be higher than the risks associated with other investments. Whilst the Directors recommend the Offers, potential investors should consider whether the Options offered is a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the specific and general risk factors set out below.

Some of the major risks associated with an investment in the Company are outlined below. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the proposed business of the Company.

The following list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. The Securities to be issued pursuant to his Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return on capital or the market value of those Securities. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and consult their professional advisor before deciding whether to apply for Securities under this Prospectus.

6.2 Risks specific to the Company

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

6.2.1 Dependence on key personnel

Dragon Energy’s future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on Dragon Energy’s business.

6.2.2 No prior market for the New Options

Prior to the Option Entitlement Issue, there has been no public market for the Dragon Energy Options and there can be no assurance regarding the future development of the market for Dragon Energy Options. The Offer price of $0.001 per Option has been determined after taking into consideration a number of factors, including but not limited to, the Company’s financial history and operating conditions, the future prospects of the Company and the prospects for the industry in which Dragon Energy operates, the management of the Company and prevailing market conditions.

There can be no assurance that the Offer price for Options will correspond with the price at which Dragon Energy Options will trade on the ASX upon official quotation or that an active market for Dragon Energy Options will develop or, if developed, that such a market will be sustained.

6.2.3 Insurance

The Company, where economically feasible, may insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, even if insurance is taken out, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

6.2.4 Reliance on third parties

The Company does not presently hold legal title to a number of the mining tenements in which it holds an interest, and its rights in respect of those mining tenements are held through its interest in applicable agreements. The Company is, therefore, reliant on third parties to comply with the terms and conditions of such agreements and conditions attaching to the mining tenements. Should the third parties breach the terms of these agreements or the conditions attaching to the mining tenements, the Company’s rights in respect of the relevant mining tenements may be adversely affected.

17

==> picture [158 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 6: RISK FACTORS (cont’d)

6.2.5 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 management 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.

6.2.6 Potential control effect of the underwriting

The Share Entitlement Issue is underwritten by the Shandon Group on the terms described in Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Prospectus. As set out in Section 7.3, if some of all of the Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement under the Share Entitlement Issue, and there is Shortfall, then the Share Entitlement Issue and the underwriting of the Share Entitlement Issue by the Shandong Group may have an effect on the control of the Company. Refer to Section 7.3 of this Prospectus for further details.

6.3 General mineral industry risks

6.3.1 Exploration risks

Exploration is a high risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time. There can be no guarantee that the Company’s planned exploration programmes will lead to successful exploration results and the discovery of a commercial deposit or further, a commercial mining operation.

There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests owned by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired by the Company in the future can be commercially exploited.

6.3.2 Metallurgy

Mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

  • identifying a metallurgical process through testwork to produce a saleable mineral and/or concentrate;

  • developing an economic process route to produce a viable mineral and/or concentrate; and

  • changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent recovery affecting the economic viability of the project.

6.3.3 Resources estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

6.3.4 Development and mining

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/or delineate economically recoverable ore bodies; failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining; unfavourable geological conditions; failing to receive the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties; unseasonal weather patterns; unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities; mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment; unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs; unexpected shortages or increase in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment; cost overruns; risk of access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from any third parties providing essential services.

In the event that the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, lack of skilled labour, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions and other accidents.

18

==> picture [158 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

SECTION 6: RISK FACTORS (cont’d)

6.3.5 Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risks

To the extent the Company is involved in mineral production the revenue derived through the sale of commodities may expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are 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 fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

6.3.6 Native Title and access risks

The mining tenements in which the Company holds an interest extend over areas in which legitimate native title rights of indigenous Australians exist. The ability of the Company to gain access to some or all of the mining tenements and to conduct exploration development and mining operations remains subject to native title rights and the terms of registered native title agreements.

6.3.7 Environmental risk

The operations and activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. The Company attempts to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

6.3.8 Title risks

Under the prospecting and exploration licences and certain other contractual agreements to which Dragon Energy is or may in the future become a party, Dragon Energy is or may become subject to payments, the mining lease and other obligations. In particular, holders of prospecting and exploration licences and mining leases are required to meet the prescribed expenditure conditions on those tenements. Failure to meet these expenditure commitments will render the licence liable to be forfeited unless a total or partial exemption is granted in accordance with the WA Mining Act or Mineral Resources Act 1989 (Qld) (as applicable).

Further, there is no guarantee that current or future applications, extensions or renewals of the tenements in which the Company has an interest will be granted.

Even if Dragon Energy is entitled to seek an exemption from the requirement to meet expenditure requirements, it may nevertheless be the subject of an attempt by a third party to claim a failure to satisfy expenditure conditions which may need to be resolved through litigation. There is no guarantee that this will result in a satisfactory resolution to the Company.

6.3.9 Competition

The Company competes with other companies, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than Dragon Energy and, as a result, may be in a better financial position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company’s competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other productions on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

6.3.10 Failure to lodge a caveat

As the Company is not recorded as being registered as the holder of a legal interest in many of the mining tenements in which it holds an interest, the Company may be in a position, in certain cases, to lodge a caveat over the mining tenement to protect its interest. If the Company does not lodge a caveat, or delays in lodging a caveat, the Company’s rights over a particular tenement/s may be detrimentally affected.

The Directors note that as at the date of this Prospectus, the Company had not lodged caveats in respect its rights over any of the mining tenements in which it holds an interest.

19

SECTION 6: RISK FACTORS (cont’d)

==> picture [158 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

6.4 General Risks

6.4.1 Economic factors

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market processes. The Company’s operation and Share prices can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors. Domestic and world economic conditions may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as rising or slowing demand for goods, inflation or interest rates could impact on sales, revenues and costs. In addition, exchange rate movements will affect revenues and expenses incurred in other currencies.

6.4.2 Share market conditions

Stock market conditions may affect the value of listed securities, regardless of the operating performance of the Company. Stock market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • general economic outlook;

  • movements in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuation;

  • commodity prices;

  • changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital;

  • liquidity of the Company’s Shares or Options; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

Investors should recognise that once the Shares or New Options are listed on ASX, the price of the Shares or New Options may fall as well as rise. In addition, recent world events have affected the price of securities in various sectors. Such events are unpredictable and their impact on individual companies or markets is beyond the control of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

6.4.3 Government factors

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, and the decisions of courts and tribunals, can impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Company.

Any adverse developments in political and regulatory conditions in the countries in which the Company could conduct business, could materially affect the Company’s prospects. Political changes, such as changes in both monetary and fiscal policies, expropriation, methods and rates of taxation and currency exchange controls may impact the performance of the Company as a whole.

6.4.4 Future capital needs and additional funding

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of these Offers should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.

Should the Company require additional funding there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional finance, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its financial condition and performance.

6.4.5 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 transaction would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.

20

SECTION 6: RISK FACTORS (cont’d)

6.5 Speculative Nature of Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors 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 offered pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the 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.

21

SECTION 7: ADDITIONAL INFORM ATION

7.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s Securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms “transaction specific prospectuses” are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (i) the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus;

  • (ii) any half year financial statements of the Company lodged with ASIC since the lodgement of the last financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010 lodged with ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and

  • (iii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the lodgement of the 2010 audited financial statements:

7.2 Material Contracts

The following are summaries of the significant terms of the material agreements which relate to the business of the Company.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company has entered into a conditional Underwriting Agreement with Shandong Group (an entity registered in China and a substantial Shareholder of the Company) ( Underwriter ), pursuant to which the Underwriter agrees, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to underwrite the Share Entitlement Issue to a minimum of A$18 million and a maximum of the full A$21,356,956 (at the Underwriter’s discretion).

There is no fee payable to the Underwriter in respect of the Underwriter’s underwriting commitment, however the Company agrees to pay the Underwriter’s reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the Underwriting Agreement, this Prospectus and related matters.

The Company gives numerous warranties to the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement which are considered standard for an agreement of this nature. The Underwriting Agreement is also subject to a number of termination events which are also considered standard, but which include (without limitation):

  • (a) anything of a material nature contained in this Prospectus is found to be or becomes false or materially misleading or there is a material omission from this Prospectus;

  • (b) the Underwriter reasonably forms the view that a supplementary or replacement prospectus must be lodged with ASIC and the Company does not lodge a supplementary prospectus or a replacement prospectus (as the case may be) in the form and content and within the time reasonably required by the Underwriter or the Underwriter reasonably forms the view that a supplementary prospectus or a replacement prospectus may prejudice the Share Entitlement Issue;

  • (c) six weeks (or such longer period as reasonably agreed by the parties) elapses after the date of issue of this Prospectus without permission having been granted by the ASX (subject to the usual conditions) for the New Shares to be quoted on the ASX;

  • (d) the ASX 200 Index, the Dow Jones Index or the NASDAQ Index falls at least 15% below its level on the date of execution of the Underwriting Agreement; and

  • (e) the Reserve Bank of Australia Official Cash Rate increases by 1.5% from its level on the date of execution of the Underwriting Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement (cont’d)

The current and potential voting power of the Underwriter as a result of its underwriting commitment is described in Section 7.3 below. The Underwriter is entitled to contract sub-underwriters with respect to its underwriting obligations and if this occurs, the Underwriter’s potential increase in voting power as a result of the underwriting will be diluted.

Loan Agreement

The Company entered into an unsecured Loan Agreement with Shandong Group ( Lender ) on 17 January 2011 pursuant to which the Lender agrees to advance an interest free loan of A$3.5 million to the Company to be applied towards the acquisition of the Rocklea project (as announced to the market on 22 October 2010), new acquisitions and the Company’s short term working capital requirements.

The Underwriter and the Company have agreed that, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Loan shall be applied in full to the application moneys payable by the Underwriter for its Entitlement Shares and the Shortfall Shares.

Rocklea Sale Agreement

On 19 October 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Fortescue Resources Pty Ltd ( Fortescue ), Mr Mark Creasy and WA Exploration Services Pty Ltd ( Vendors ), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase 100% of the legal and beneficial interest in the Rocklea Project (comprising Exploration Licence 47/1024-I ( Tenement ) and related mining information) ( Rocklea Sale Agreement ).

In consideration for the acquisition of the Rocklea Project, the Company must pay the Vendors:

  • (a) $4,500,000 (excl GST) at completion;

  • (b) on or before the first anniversary of the completion date, a further $1,500,000 (excl GST); and

  • (c) on or before the second anniversary of the completion date, a final payment of $1,000,000 (excl GST).

The Vendors are entitled to require the Company to grant a registrable first ranking fixed charge over the Tenement in order to secure payment of the deferred component of the consideration. Until such time as the deferred consideration has been paid to the Vendors in full, the Company provides the following non-exhaustive covenants in favour of the Vendors:

  • (d) to preserve the Tenement and maintain it in good standing;

  • (e) not to sell, assign, sublease, transfer, Farmout or grant any rights to all or part of the Teneemnt or grant any mineral rights or split commodity rights in relation to the Tenement, without the Vendors’ prior written consent; and

  • (f) not to permit any new encumbrances in relation to the Tenement without the Vendors’ prior written consent.

If any party defaults in the performance of the Rocklea Sale Agreement and such default continues unremedied for 14 days after receipt of a default notice, then the non-defaulting party or parties may rescind the Rocklea Sale Agreement and/or sue the defaulting party for specific performance.

The parties otherwise provide various representations and warranties to each other which are considered standard for an agreement of this nature.

SECTION 7: ADDITIONAL INFORM ATION (cont’d)

7.3 Current and Potential Voting Power of the Underwriter

The Shandong Group (as Underwriter) currently has a relevant interest in 81,000,000 Shares, representing 56.89% of the voting power in the Company. The Underwriter also has a relevant interest in 6,250,000 Unquoted Options in the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite a minimum of $18.0m and up to the full subscription amount of the Share Entitlement Issue (being $21,356,956).

The potential effect that the issue of Shares under the Share Entitlement Issue will have on the control of the Company is as follows:

  • (a) if all Shareholders take up all of the Entitlement under the Share Entitlement Issue, the percentage interest in the Shares of the Company held by the Underwriter (and any other major Shareholders) would not change and there would not be any effect on the control of the Company.

  • (b) if some of all of the Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement under the Share Entitlement Issue, and there is Shortfall, then the Share Entitlement Issue may have an effect on the control of the Company as detailed below.

  • To comply with the requirement to disclose the Underwriter’s potential voting power in the Company, the table below sets out various scenarios to indicate the effect of the Company’s shareholding depending on the Shortfall (if any).

The potential maximum increase in the voting power of the Underwriter as a result of the underwriting is set out below and will only occur if no Shareholders take up their Share Entitlement under the Share Entitlement Issue. In the table below, it is assumed that the Underwriter will take up its full Entitlement as a Shareholder under the Share Entitlement Issue and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date. Furthermore, it is assumed that the Underwriter will apply for all Shortfall under the Share Entitlement Issue and will not contract any sub-underwriters.
