New Zealand Notice
The Entitlement Offer to New Zealand investors pursuant to this Prospectus comprises regulated offers made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth). In New Zealand, this is Part 5 of the Securities Act 1978 , Securities Regulations 2009 and the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008 .
The Entitlement Offer and the contents of this Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. The Australian Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) set out how the Entitlement Offer must be made. There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law.
For example, the disclosure of fees for collective investment schemes is different under the Australian regime. 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 Entitlement Offer.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
The Entitlement Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the Shares and Options is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the Shares and Options will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between the Australian currency and New Zealand dollar. These changes may be significant. If you expect the Shares or 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.
The Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted, the Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus will be able to be traded on the ASX. If you wish to trade the Shares and Options through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the Shares and Options on your 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 you about the securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.
The Company is required under Part 1 of the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008 to provide an Eligible Shareholder with copies of the Company's Constitution on request and free of charge.

Risk factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares and Options in the Company involves a number of risks. Some of the more significant risks which impact an investment in the Company are set out below.
Potential for significant dilution if Shareholders do not participate in the Entitlement Offer
Upon completion of the Entitlement Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 360,531,896 (assuming of the Shares the subject of the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement are issued) to approximately 424,571,609.
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings will be diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus) and without regard to the dilution which will result if the Options granted as part of the Entitlement Offer are exercised. Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table in sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Prospectus.
Going Concern
The independent auditor's review report accompanying the consolidated entity’s financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 was unqualified but contained an emphasis of matter paragraph in respect of a material uncertainty regarding the consolidated entity’s continuation as a going concern. The auditor drew attention to a note in the consolidated entity's half year financial report with respect to the consolidated entity’s net losses after tax and cash outflows and the need for additional funding to be raised.
The note stated that “Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the consolidated entity being able to secure additional funding through either the issue of further shares and/or options or convertible notes or a combination thereof as required to fund ongoing exploration, development, test work and for additional working capital. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business”
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company’s cash balance is $19,422. Following settlement of the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement the Company will hold approximately $329,422 cash at bank (prior to costs associated with the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement) In addition, the Entitlement Offer is underwritten to $655,726 and the NonExecutive Directors have agreed to take up their Entitlements in full, which will raise an additional $274,274 after taking into account the set off arrangements agreed to with the Directors in respect of loans owing by the Company to those Directors. The Company has rescheduled the payment of its major outstanding creditors until 30 June 2014 and will carefully management expenditure in line with the Company’s cash flow.
Should the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement fail to settle, the Underwriting Agreement is terminated or the Entitlement Offer is withdrawn, the Company would need to consider alternative plans, such as raising funds via a placement at a lower price. If this is not possible and other alternative sources of funding are not available, then the Company may consider entering into voluntary administration.
Risks associated with operations in Nigeria
The exploration licences of the Company are located in Nigeria. The Company will be subject to the risks associated with operating in that country, including various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalisation, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, application of taxation policy, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation of money and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.
Kogi Iron Limited Prospectus
Page | 7
Changes, if any, in mining, fiscal or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Nigeria may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Company. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign currency remittance, income and other taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, labour legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety.
Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.
Outcomes in courts in Nigeria may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or its subsidiary in Nigeria.
Future capital needs
Further funding may be required by the Company to support the ongoing activities and operations of the Agbaja Project and for corporate and working capital purposes.
Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s future activities may result in the Company being unable to meet the holding cost associated with its Agbaja Project and various other exploration licences in Nigeria and may even result in the loss of any or all of the exploration licences. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
Lack of executive management
The Company’s management currently consists of 1 executive and 5 non-executive Directors. The Board is of the view that it is able to provide sufficient management of the Agbaja Project and the Company for its current level of activities. However, there is a risk that experienced members of the Board may resign and/or not be able to devote the required time to manage the Company and the Agbaja Project which may impact on the Company’s ability to operate. It is not the current intention of the Board to appoint a Managing Director, nor appoint any other executive management.
The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in section 3 of this Prospectus.
These risks, together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares and Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

Additional Shares will be issued at the same time as Shares applied for under your Entitlement.

1.7 Shortfall
Any Entitlements not taken up by Eligible Shareholders (either through acceptance of their Entitlement or through Eligible Shareholders applying for Shares and Options in addition to their Entitlement) may become available as Shortfall which may be placed by the Company in conjunction with the Underwriter and in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

| Shares | Number | Number |
|---|---|---|

* Note: these Shares will be issued after the Record Date.
The above figures assume that no further Shares other than the Shares noted in the table above are issued prior to the issue of the Shares and Options under the Entitlement Offer. In addition, Shareholders should note that due to rounding of Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer to Shareholdings on the Record Date, among other things, the exact number of Shares and Options to be issued will not be known until completion of the Entitlement Offer.

2.4 Potential impact of Entitlement Offer on control of the Company
The maximum number of Shares which will be issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer is 64,039,713. This equates to approximately 15% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Entitlement Offer.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Underwriter does not have a relevant interest in any Shares. The extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement may increase the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company. In addition, if Options issued to the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement are exercised, the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company will increase.
The Company understands that the Underwriter has engaged a number of sub-underwriters to the Entitlement Offer, none of whom will be entitled to acquire a relevant interest in greater than 20% of the Shares on completion of the Entitlement Offer. As a result of the sub-underwriting arrangements and because the Underwriter is only partially underwriting the Entitlement Offer to $655,726 the Underwriter will not acquire a relevant interest in greater than 20% of the Shares on completion of the Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer is therefore not expected to have any significant impact on the control of the Company.
The Non-Executive Directors have agreed to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer on the basis set out in section 1.5.
If no Eligible Shareholders subscribe for Shares under the Entitlement Offer (excluding the Non-Executive directors), the subunderwriters to the Entitlement Offer default in their obligations and 21,857,528 Shares and 21,857,528 Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued to the Underwriter in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, it will increase the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company to up to 5.6% (assuming 9,142,472 Shares are issued to Non-Executive Directors pursuant to their Entitlements and 40,333,333 Shares are issued pursuant to the Lanstead Placement and Additional Placement).
The Underwriter is not a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act and does not currently have a relevant interest in Shares. The Underwriter’s relevant interest in Shares under several scenarios is set out in the table below:
| Event | Number of Shares in which | Voting power of Underwriter (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Underwriter has a relevant | ||
| interest | ||
| Entitlement Offer fully subscribed (no Shortfall) | 0 | 0% |
| 75% subscribed (25% shortfall) | 5,464,382 | 1.4% |
| 50% subscribed (50% shortfall) | 10,928,764 | 2.8% |
| 25% subscribed (75% shortfall) | 16,393,146 | 4.2% |
| 0% subscribed (100% shortfall) | 21,857,528 | 5.6% |
The number of Shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting on the Entitlement Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Eligible Shareholders, other than the Underwriter, will take up their Entitlements under the Offer. The underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by other Eligible Shareholders.
In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 24% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below (assuming approximately 64,039,713 Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer and 40,333,333 Shares are issued pursuant to the Lanstead Placement and Additional Placement).

3 Risk factors
3.1 Introduction
This section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for Shares and Options.
There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of.
3.2 Risks specific to the Entitlement Offer
Potential for significant dilution
Upon completion of the Entitlement Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 360,531,896 (assuming of the Shares the subject of the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement are issued) to approximately 424,571,609.
It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Entitlement Offer and the Directors do not make any representation to such matters.
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 24%(as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). Please refer to section 2.4 of this Prospectus for examples of how the potential dilutionary effect of the Entitlement Offer may impact Shareholders.
3.3 Risks relating to the Company and the Agbaja Project
Overview
The principal activities of the Company is the evaluation of its wholly owned Agbaja iron ore Project in Kogi State, Federal Republic of Nigeria for development into a commercial iron ore mine and processing operation to produce iron ore concentrate for international export markets. On 29 January 2014 the Company announced the results from a Preliminary Feasibility Study that assessed the technical and economic viability for the development and operation of a mine and processing plant to produce 5 million tonnes per annum or iron ore concentrate at the Agbaja Project.
Due to the nature of the Company’s business activities of iron ore exploration and development assessment in Nigeria, increasing your investment in the Company carries with it risks reasonably expected of an investment in a business of this type. Accordingly, whilst the Directors recommend the Entitlement Offer, Shares and Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Iron ore exploration and the possible transition to future iron ore concentrate production is a high risk endeavour and prospective investors should read the whole of this Prospectus and consider the risk factors described within it, as well as consult their stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other professional adviser in order to fully appreciate the manner in which the Company operates before deciding whether to apply for any Shares and Options.
By its nature, an investment in a mineral exploration and development company is subject to numerous risks and the current and future activities of the Company, including exploration, evaluation and production activities that may be affected by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this Prospectus. Accordingly, this section does not, and does not purport to, contain an exhaustive list of the risks associated with an investment in Shares or Options.
Before increasing your investment in the Company, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you having regard to the risk factors set out below, publicly available information, your investment objectives and personal financial circumstances, and following consultation with your professional advisors.

A reference to the Company in this key risks section should be taken to include, where relevant, a reference to the Company’s Agbaja Project interests.
Key Risks
Going Concern
The independent auditor's review report accompanying the consolidated entity’s financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 was unqualified but contained an emphasis of matter paragraph in respect of a material uncertainty regarding the consolidated entity’s continuation as a going concern. The auditor drew attention to a note in the consolidated entity's half year financial report with respect to the consolidated entity’s net losses after tax and cash outflows and the need for additional funding to be raised.
The note stated that “Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the consolidated entity being able to secure additional funding through either the issue of further shares and/or options or convertible notes or a combination thereof as required to fund ongoing exploration, development, test work and for additional working capital. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business”
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company’s cash balance is $19,422. Following settlement of the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement the Company will hold approximately $329,422 cash at bank (before associated costs). In addition, the Entitlement Offer is underwritten to $655,726 and the Directors have agreed to take up their Entitlements in full, which will raise an additional $262,613 after taking into account the set off arrangements agreed to with the Directors in respect of loans owing by the Company to the Directors. The Company has rescheduled the payment of its major outstanding creditors until 30 June 2014 and will carefully management expenditure in line with the Company’s cash flow.
Should the Lanstead Placement and the Additional Placement fail to settle, the Underwriting Agreement is terminated or the Entitlement Offer is withdrawn, the Company would need to consider alternative plans, such as raising funds via a placement at a lower price. If this is not possible and other alternative sources of funding are not available, then the Company may consider entering into voluntary administration.
Future capital needs
Further funding may be required by the Company to support the ongoing activities and operations of the Agbaja Project and for corporate and working capital purposes.
Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s future activities may result in the Company being unable to meet the holding cost associated with its Agbaja Project and various other exploration licences in Nigeria and may even result in the loss of any or all of the exploration licences. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
Lack of executive management
The Company’s management currently consists of 1 executive and 5 non-executive Directors. The Board is of the view that it is able to provide sufficient management of the Agbaja Project and the Company for its current level of activities. However, there is a risk that experienced members of the Board may resign and/or not be able to devote the required time to manage the Company and the Agbaja Project which may impact on the Company’s ability to operate. It is not the current intention of the Board to appoint a Managing Director, nor appoint any other executive management.
Risks associated with operations in Nigeria
The exploration licences of the Company are located in Nigeria. The Company is subject to the risks associated with operating in that country, including various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalisation, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, application of taxation policy, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation of money and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.
Kogi Iron Limited Prospectus
Page | 23
Changes, if any, in mining, fiscal or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Nigeria may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Company. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign currency remittance, income and other taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, labour legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety.
Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.
Outcomes in courts in Nigeria may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or its subsidiary in Nigeria.
The Nigerian Cadastre Office
In addition to the above risk factors in relation to operations in Nigeria, there are also specific risks related to dealing with the relevant governmental authorities in Nigeria, being the Mining Cadastre Office, located in Abuja (Cadastre), which is a department within the Nigerian Ministry of Mines and Steel Development.
As explained in the Company’s prospectus dated 14 December 2011, during the Company’s due diligence process it was discovered that the respective Cadastral Units (CU: 1 Nigerian CU = 15" by 15" block), measurements and areal results for certain exploration licences held by KCM Mining Limited (incorporated in Nigeria and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), contained in the records of the Cadastre did not, in some instances, exactly correlate with the independent measurements and areal results taken by the independent geologist.
It has also transpired that in some instances the final geographical co-ordinates (“grant co-ordinates”) of granted exploration licences differ from the geographical co-ordinates submitted by the Company at the time of exploration licence application.
Whilst the Company has been issued with notification of grant letters for all of its granted exploration licences from the Cadastre, and grant certificates for the majority of the licences that have been granted, including EL12124, in some instances the Company is yet to receive confirmation of the “grant co-ordinates” for some of the granted licences. Cadastre continues to streamline its systems and making in-roads on a back-log of licence matters, and some of these issues are now beginning to be resolved.
There remains a risk that the final “grant co-ordinates” issued by the Cadastre for a particular exploration licence may differ from the geographic co-ordinates submitted at the time of licence application. In such circumstances, KCM Mining Limited will attempt to resolve the difference with the Cadastre, however there remains a risk that the Cadastre may not make adjustments to the exploration licences and that KCM Mining Limited may not receive title to the affected areas of the granted exploration licences.
Exploration, development, mining and processing risks
The exploration licences of the Company are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that exploration of these licences, or any other licences that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, tribal and traditional ownership processes, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its licences and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the licences, a reduction in the base reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the licences.
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs
Kogi Iron Limited Prospectus
Page | 24
may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.
Future capital needs
The Directors believe that upon the successful completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds to fund holding costs for the Agbaja Project in the near term and corporate and working capital requirements. However, future additional funding will be required by the Company. Failure to obtain sufficient funding for the Company’s future activities may result in the Company being unable to meet the holding costs for the Agbaja Project and/or delay and indefinite postponement of development and exploration activities and even result in the loss of exploration licences. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the funding might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
No geographic diversification
The Company’s exploration licences are all located in Nigeria. Any circumstance or event which negatively impacts the ownership or development of these areas or which negatively affects Nigeria could materially affect the financial performance of the Company and more significantly than if it had a geographically diversified asset base.
Operating risk
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits; failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining; operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining; difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment; mechanical failure or plant breakdown; unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs; adverse weather conditions; industrial and environmental accidents; industrial disputes; and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
Resource and Reserve estimates
The Company's mineral resources and reserves are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular recovery level of iron ore will in fact be realised. The Company's estimates comply with the JORC Code, 2012. An estimate is an expression 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.
Off take risk
The Company does not have any committed off take agreements in place. In the event that the Company starts producing iron ore from one of its projects in the future, the Company may enter into off take transactions in order to fix or underpin the price for a portion of its production or for a particular type of iron ore. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to deliver physical production into committed off take agreements; if for example, there was a production stoppage. In that event the Company could be adversely affected if the price was to move unfavourably. In addition, there is a mark-to- market risk in respect of accounting for off take agreements that could adversely impact the Company’s financial results.
HIV/AIDS
In Nigeria, an estimated 3.6 per cent of the population are living with HIV and AIDS. Although HIV prevalence is much lower in Nigeria than in other African countries such as South Africa and Zambia, the size of Nigeria’s population (around 149 million) means that by the end of 2009, there were approximately 2.3 million people living with HIV.
Approximately 220,000 people died from aids in Nigeria in 2009. With AIDS claiming so many lives, Nigeria’s life expectancy has declined significantly. In 1991 the average life expectancy was 54 years for women and 53 years for men. In 2009 these figures had fallen to 48 for women and 46 for men.
The exact impact of increased mortality rates due to HIV/AIDS related deaths on the cost of doing business in Nigeria and the potential growth in the economy is unclear at this time although employee related costs in Nigeria could increase as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The Company's results may be adversely affected by the loss of productivity and increased costs arising from any effect of HIV/AIDS on the Company's workforce
Kogi Iron Limited Prospectus
Page | 25
Nigerian withholding tax
There is a risk that Nigerian taxation authorities may assess withholding tax on a variety of off-shore payments made by the Company to the providers of services undertaken in Nigeria. Advice received by the Company is that the assessment of withholding tax to the Company in these circumstances is unlikely, as primary liability for Nigerian taxation on service provided in Nigeria rests with the service provider. However, there remains a possibility that if the service provider has not met its Nigerian taxation obligations and does not have a representative in Nigeria, Nigerian taxation authorities may attempt to appoint the Company as the agent of the service provider and assess withholding tax. At this point in time, the Company considers that the risk of such an assessment is low and is not in a position to estimate the amount of any future assessment, if one were to be made.
Risks associated with the mineral industry
Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes 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 iron ore, 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 the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
Labour
The Company's operations may be adversely affected by labour disputes or changes in Nigerian labour laws. With the exception of employees classified as essential - members of the armed services, the police force, fire-fighters, Central Bank employees, and customs and excise staff - Nigerian workers may form or join trade or labour unions. They may also strike to obtain improved working conditions and benefits and bargain collectively for higher wages.
Strikes or industrial actions by workers tend to be frequent in Nigeria. Although plagued by leadership struggles, ideological differences and regional ethnic conflicts, the Nigerian Labour Congress has been able to organize or threaten nationwide workers' strikes, demanding the retention of government subsidies on petroleum products, minimum wages, and improved working conditions.
Joint Venture Parties, Agents and Contractors
The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any earn-in agreement or joint venture to which the Company may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors to be used in future by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers to be used in future by the Company for any activity.
Water Supply
Water supply for the Company’s projects, and any future projects, will be sourced from individual locations. The Company will be required to apply for and obtain water use licences from the relevant governmental authorities. The process for obtaining a water use licence may be a lengthy one and the Company’s operations may be adversely affected in the event that the relevant licences are not obtained in a timely manner. An inadequate water supply would negatively affect the project and any future projects.
Environmental
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Nigerian Federal and Kogi State 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 to mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligations, including compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associates with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean- up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the
Kogi Iron Limited Prospectus
Page | 26
environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.
The disposal of mining and processing waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive.
Approvals may be required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.
Litigation risk
Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the Company’s business and the Agbaja Project. The Company cannot preclude the possibility that litigation may be brought against it or parties involved in the Agbaja Project which may have a negative impact on the Agbaja Project.
The Company is not aware of any material litigation risks at this moment or in the foreseeable future.
General risks
The business activities of the Company are subject to various general economic and investment risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. These risk factors include, but are not limited to those summarised below.
-
Taxation and government regulations - changes in taxation and government legislation in a range of areas (for example, the Corporations Act, accounting standards and taxation law), in Australia, Nigeria and other jurisdictions can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors.
-
Investment in capital markets - as with all stock market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. Securities unlisted on the stock market, and in particular securities of mineral exploration and production companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of Shares regardless of the Company’s performance. The price of Shares might trade below or above the Offer Price for the Shares.
-
Accounting standards - Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in the Company’s financial statements.
-
General economic risks - the operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, oil prices, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Changes in general economic conditions may result from many factors including government policy, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war or natural disasters.
3.4 Risks relating to the Shares
Securities price fluctuation
The market price of a publicly traded stock is affected by many variables not directly related to the success of the Company. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not affect the price of the Company’s securities.
Share market risk
Share market conditions may affect the value of Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
general economic outlook;
-
interest rates and inflation rates;
-
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
changes in investor sentiment toward particular countries;
-
global media reports;
Kogi Iron Limited Prospectus
Page | 27
-
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
other external factors whether real or perceived by the market.
The market price of the Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return on an investment in the Company.
3.5 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 Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus.

Specifically as a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require continuous disclosure to the market of any information possessed by the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares.
The Board have adopted a policy on compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act . The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have material effect on the Company’s securities and the consequences of non-compliance.
4.2 Legal framework of this Prospectus
As a "disclosing entity", the Company has issued this Prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act applicable to prospectuses for an offer of securities which are quoted enhanced disclosure ( ED ) securities and the securities are in a class of securities that were quoted ED securities at all times in the 3 months before the date of this Prospectus.

4.6 Rights attaching to Shares
The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company.
Full details of the rights attaching to the Company’s Shares are set out in its Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office.
The following is a summary of the principal rights which attach to the Company’s Shares:

- (d) Transfer of Shares
Subject to the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the ASTC Settlement Rules and the Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable. Shares may only be transferred by a proper instrument in writing delivered to the Company, and the transferor is deemed to remain the holder of the Shares until the name of the transferee is entered into the Company’s register of members.
