$31$ INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

$3.1$ Company overview and reference to incorporated documents

A comprehensive overview of the activities of the Company is set out in the IPO Prospectus, Financial Report, and ASX Announcements. Persons considering participating in the Offer under this Prospectus should refer to section 8 for a summary of the information contained in the IPO Prospectus, Financial Report and ASX Announcements which is deemed to be incorporated in this Prospectus.

$3.2$ Review of operations since Listing

The Company was admitted to the Official List on 20 April 2005. The Company's objective, as stated in the IPO Prospectus, is to generate returns to Shareholders through the exploration of existing deposits and the discovery and development of other projects.

The Company has undertaken a drilling programme on its advanced projects targeting gold and nickel mineralisation. The focus has been on expanding and upgrading the existing gold resources at the Company's Jackpot and Broad Arrow projects and to advance both projects to mining status.

The Company has also expanded its portfolio through a programme of tenement acquisition and project selection. In addition to expanding its portfolio of gold and nickel tenements, the Company has acquired a portfolio of uranium tenements. The Company has also entered into a joint venture to explore the Kintyre East Uranium Project. The acquisition of the uranium assets is a strategic move to expose the Company to raising uranium prices as demand continues to outstrip supply.

On 14 October 2005, the Company announced its entry into an agreement to acquire, through its wholly owned subsidiary. Kal Energy Pty Ltd, a 75% working interest in oil and gas leases covering 640 acres in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, in the USA pursuant to the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement (which is summarised in section 7.2).

$3.3$ Purpose of the Offer

The purpose of the Offer is to raise up to \$2,000,000 to be applied towards payment of an instalment of US\$1,200,000 under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement, for working capital, to meet the expenses of the Offer and to fund the currently budgeted obligations for planned operations in the next 12 months although the level of participation in certain projects may need to be adjusted.

If the Offer is fully subscribed the Company will issue 10,000,000 New Shares and 8,750,000 New Options pursuant to this Prospectus to raise \$2,000,000 before costs of the Offer. If the Offer is not fully subscribed, the Company will issue such lesser number of New Shares and New Options as are actually subscribed for. If the Offer is not fully subscribed, the Company will still be in a position to fund the majority of its currently budgeted financial obligations for planned operations in the next twelve months although the level of participation in certain projects may need to be reduced.

The Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement is an agreement between the Company and Metro Energy Group, Inc. ('Metro Energy') dated 10 October 2005 whereby Metro Energy, an experienced US based oil and gas explorer, has agreed to sell to the Company a 75% working interest in certain oil and gas leaseholds located in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma in the USA ('Leases'), along with two existing well bores, and related surface and subsurface equipment. The total purchase price to be paid by the Company to Metro Energy as consideration is US\$3,000,000 to be paid as follows:

  • The sum of US\$300,000 to be paid upon execution of the Wilson Prospect Letter $(a)$ Agreement (this amount has been paid);
  • A further sum of US\$1,200,000 to be paid within 30 days of the execution of the Wilson $(b)$ Prospect Letter Agreement ('Instalment');
  • $(c)$ A further sum of US\$1,500,000 to be paid in instalments:
  • The first instalment of US\$500,000 to be paid on 31 December 2005; $(i)$
  • The second instalment of US\$500,000 to be paid on 31 March 2005; and $(ii)$
  • $(iii)$ The final instalment of US\$500,000 to be paid on 30 June 2006.

Metro Energy has agreed to undertake and fund a drilling, reworking, infrastructure installation, and upgrade program in respect of the Leases.

A summary of the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement is included in section 7.2 of this Prospectus.

A further purpose of the Offer is to issue to Delta Securities 3,750,000 New Options as part consideration for services provided under the Share Placement Agreement (which is summarised in section 7.3) in a manner which will facilitate trading in the New Options, within 12 months after the date of their issue.

$3.4$ Utilisation of funds

As set out in section 4.3, the minimum subscription under the Offer is \$1,500,000. The full subscription to the Offer is \$2,000,000. The following table illustrates the expected use of the funds raised from the Offer if the minimum subscription is achieved and if the Offer is fully subscribed.

*The second payment pursuant to the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement is in United States dollars. Calculated using an exchange rate of US\$0.75 to A\$1.00 (which was the quoted rate by the Reserve Bank of Australia on 25 October 2005). The amount of the second payment in Australian dollars would be A\$1,600,000. This figure is provided for illustrative purpose only. The actual Australian dollar expenditure by the Company in meeting the second payment could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate.

Persons considering subscribing for New Shares and New Options pursuant to this Prospectus should refer to Note 26: Impact of Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards in the Financial Report and section 8 of this Prospectus for a summary of the information contained in the Financial Report deemed to be incorporated in this Prospectus.

6. Commitments

A comprehensive overview of the commitments of the Company is set out in the Financial Report. Persons considering subscribing for New Shares and New Options pursuant to this Prospectus should refer to Note 19: Commitments in the Financial Report and section 8 of this Prospectus for a summary of the information contained in the Financial Report deemed to be incorporated in this Prospectus.

The total purchase price to be paid by the Company to Metro Energy under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement is US\$3,000,000 to be paid as follows:

  • The sum of US\$300,000 to be paid upon execution of the Letter Agreement. $(a)$

6. RISKS

The business activities of the Company are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which Shares and Options will trade and should be considered speculative. There are a number of risk factors that investors should consider before deciding whether or not to invest in Shares and Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

A comprehensive overview of the risks faced by the Company at the time of listing is set out in Section 13 of the IPO Prospectus. Persons considering subscribing for New Shares and New Options pursuant to this Prospectus should refer to the Section 13 of the IPO Prospectus, and section 8 of this Prospectus for a summary of the information contained in the IPO Prospectus deemed to be incorporated in this Prospectus.

The list of risk factors described in the IPO Prospectus ought not be taken as an exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The list of risk factors identified in the IPO Prospectus, and others not specifically referred to in the IPO Prospectus, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares and Options of the Company.

In addition to the risks identified in the IPO Prospectus, the purchase of the interest in the Leases pursuant to the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement announced to ASX on 14 October 2005, exposes the Company to the following additional risks:

$6.1$ Shareholder Approval

Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of the New Shares and New Options on the basis of this Prospectus. Shareholder approval is being sought at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 30 November 2005. If approval is not granted by Shareholders, the Company will have to find alternative finance to fund the remaining payments under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement. There is no guarantee that acceptable sources of funds will be found in the future. A lack of funds to service the payments under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.

$6.2$ Oil and Gas Price Fluctuations

The price of oil and gas will depend on available markets at acceptable prices and transmission and distribution costs. Any substantial decline in the prices of oil and gas or an increase in transmission or distribution costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

$6.3$ Exploration and Production

The future profitability of the Company and the value of its securities are directly related to the results of exploration. There are inherent risks in exploration activities. No assurances can be given that funds spent on exploration will result in discoveries that will be commercially viable.

No guarantees can be given as to the flow rates of wells drilled by the Company from time to time and investors should be aware that there is no guarantee that flow rates on wells drilled by the Company will remain consistent over a period of time. Flow rates may also be affected by climatic conditions outside of the control of the Company.

6.4 Drilling

Drilling activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of rigs and/or other equipment.

$6.5$ Operating

Industry operating risks include fire, explosions, blow outs, pipe failures, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of petroleum liquids, gas leaks, ruptures, or discharge of toxic gases. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life; damage to or destruction of property, natural resources, or equipment; pollution or together environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation; penalties or suspension of operations. Damages occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against the Company.

Environmental Risks $6.6$

Oil and gas exploration, development and production can be potentially environmentally hazardous giving rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control, and losses.

$6.7$ Commercialisation

Even if the Company recovers potentially commercial activities of oil or gas, there is no quarantee that the Company will be able to successfully transport the oil or gas to commercially viable markets or sell the oil or gas to customers to achieve a commercial return.

6.8 Insurance

Insurance of all risks associated with oil and gas exploration and production is not always available and, where available, the cost can be high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company's needs. The Company will not be insured against all possible losses, whether because of the unavailability of cover or because the premiums may be excessive relative to the benefits that would accrue.

6.9 Adequacy of Capital and Capital Raising

The Company may raise additional capital in order to fund the remainder of the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement payments and/or drilling programmes by the issue of securities. This would have the effect of diluting the security holdings of existing security holders. There is no guarantee that acceptable sources of funds will be found in the future. A lack of capital could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.

$6.10$ Metro Energy - Key Contractor

The Company's success in relation to the exploration and development of the Leases is largely dependent on the core competencies and services of Metro Energy. The loss or nonperformance of Metro Energy as a contractor could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

$6.11$ Regulatory Approvals

The Company will require government regulatory approvals for its operations and facilities installations. This may from time to time affect timing and scope of work to be undertaken.

6.12 Access

The Company, in order to conduct its exploration programmes, may require approval from government and non-government bodies to facilitate access to blocks and tenements in which it has an interest.

6.13 Exchange Rate

The payments due under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement are payable in US currency and payment obligations in relation to the exploration and development of the Leases will be payable in US currency. To the extent that there are unfavourable movements in the exchange rate, the Company's obligations expressed in Australian currency will increase.

Oil and gas revenues will be earned in US currency and, consequently, exchange rate fluctuations will also impact on any future earnings.

$5.14$ Taxation

Profits arising from the discovery and commercialisation of oil and gas fields will be subject to US taxation. The tax treatment could vary significantly from that applied in Australia.

$6.14$ Legal Title

The matter of confirming the Company's title to the Leases is a continuous process. Regulatory approval is required to the transfer of the Leases to the Company. The transfer of title in relation to each Lease may not occur until the commencement of drilling a well on the Lease. In the event that, at that time, clear title cannot be determined then the transfer of the Lease and drilling on the Lease could be delayed or halted indefinitely.

The Company has paid US\$300,000 and may pay the Instalment of US\$1,200,000 under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement prior to Metro Energy assigning the interest in the Leases to the Company. In the event Metro fails to assign the interest in the Leases to the Company, the Company will have to take action in the State of Oklahoma to seek a judicial order to compel performance by Metro of its obligations under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement and assign title to the Company. There is also a risk that, if successful, damages may be the remedy ordered by the court rather than an order compelling performance.

6.15 Changes in Accounting Standards

For reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005, the Company must comply with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. These changes will affect the way in which certain items are reported in the Company's financial statements.

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

$7.2$ Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement

On 10 October 2005 the Company entered into an agreement with Metro Energy which, subject to its completion, will see it acquire a 75% working interest, equalling a 56.25% net revenue interest in the Leases ('Sale Interest') located in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, USA together with two existed well bores, and related surface and subsurface equipment ('Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement').

The following is a summary of the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement.

The total purchase price to be paid by the Company to Metro Energy under the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement is US\$3,000,000 to be paid as follows:

  • The sum of US\$300,000 which was paid upon execution of the Wilson Prospect Letter $(a)$ Agreement.
  • A further sum of US\$1,200,000 to be paid within 30 days of the execution of the Wilson $(b)$ Prospect Letter Agreement.

  • $(i)$ The first instalment of US\$500,000 to be paid on 31 December 2005.

In the event that Metro Energy cannot deliver the assignments and Leases contemplated to be conveyed under the agreement within 45 days of the execution of the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement or some such time as the parties mutually agree ('WPLA Closing Date'), Metro Energy will immediately refund the initial payment of US\$300,000 to the Company.

In the event that the Company does not or cannot perform its obligations to pay the purchase consideration, the sum of US\$300,000 shall be retained by Metro Energy and considered as liquidated damages and shall be deemed by both Metro Energy and the Company as full and complete payment by the Company for all damages that have been sustained by Metro Energy.

Metro Energy will undertake and fund the drilling, reworking, infrastructure installation, and upgrade program, including the following:

Drill, complete and tie-in the Wilson #1-10 well to spud into the top of the Wilcox $(a)$ sandstone oil column to facilitate potential oil and gas production.

  • $(b)$ Clean out, treat, and properly equip the existing Wilson #1 well, to enable potential resumption of production from the Gilcrease sandstone.
  • Permit, clean out, and properly equip the existing Wilson #2 well, for conversion to a $(c)$ saltwater disposal well for the prospect.
  • $(d)$ Install the appropriate infrastructure to produce, store, and market hydrocarbons and facilitate the disposal of saltwater and install a natural gas gathering system to transfer natural gas from the tank battery system to the nearest natural gas sales point.

If a transfer or assignment of the Sale Interest is not recordable at the WPLA Closing Date. Metro Energy will hold the Sale Interest and rights attaching on trust for the benefit of the Company absolutely and will deal with the trust property only as from time to time directed in writing by the Company.

The parties acknowledge the lands and minerals are owned by Restricted Creek Indians and require state District Court approval before the Leases can be fully vested in Metro Energy. It is contemplated by the parties to the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement that certain of the lands and minerals cannot be conveyed and transferred to the Company by Metro Energy by the WPLA Closing Date, and in such an event the lands and leases shall be held in trust by Metro Energy for the benefit of the Company.

The parties acknowledge a portion of the lands, leases and mineral interests will require applying to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission-Oil and Gas Conservation Division to space and force pool an area of approximately 40 acres. It is agreed that the lands and leases will be conveyed and transferred to the Company by Metro Energy subject to the Pooling Orders issued by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The lands and leases shall be held in trust by Metro Energy for the benefit of the Company.

The Company is to execute a promissory note and mortgage of the oil and gas leases in favour of Metro Energy to secure payment of the consideration detailed above. The Company has not, at the date of this Prospectus, executed the aforementioned promissory note and mortgage of the oil and gas leases.

Metro Energy is to be the operator of the leases and will prepare a Joint Operating Agreement (AAPL Model Form 610) after closing to be executed by Metro Energy and the Company.

Both parties agree that they may prepare a more detailed final contract and agreement of sale containing the general terms and conditions set out in the Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement and including further terms and conditions usually found in agreements of this type.

The Wilson Prospect Letter Agreement is to be interpreted under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and venue of any actions or suit shall be in the Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court of Oklahoma.
