Section 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.
$3.2$ Exploration and Production Risks
The investment of capital by the Company in exploration does not provide any certainty that the capital expended will result in a discovery of reserves of minerals. If minerals are discovered within the Company's properties there is no certainty that such discoveries may be economically recoverable.
If the Company is successful in the discovery of economic reserves, development and production from the reserves will be subject to the technical, financial, legislative and other factors prevailing at the time, which will affect the decision to proceed to production and the profitability of recovery.
$33$ General Commercial Risks
Factors such as inflation, commodity price volatility, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs and stock market prices. Future possible revenues and share price can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of the Company.
$3.4$ Changes in Government Policies
The Company's business could be significantly affected by changes to federal, state and local government policies and tax regimes. Any increases in such taxes that cannot be passed on to the consumer, may have the effect of reducing future profits.
$3.5$ Environmental
Mineral exploration involves the risk of environmental contamination and the corresponding operational costs of environmental protection planning, impact analysis, damage control procedures and where accidental leakage or other contamination or well head abandonment occurs, the costs of undertaking rehabilitation operations and the risk of legislative penalties.
3.6 General Investment Risks
There is a risk that the price of Shares and returns to shareholders may be affected by changes in:
local and world economic conditions: $(a)$
- $(b)$ interest rates;
- $(c)$ levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practice;
- $(d)$ government legislation or intervention;
- inflation or inflationary expectations; and $(e)$
- $(f)$ natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia or overseas.
$3.7$ Investment Speculative
The 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 risk 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 to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those 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.
Section 4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
$4.1$ Continuous Disclosure
Disclosing entities are, pursuant to the Corporations Act, entitled to issue a prospectus satisfying the test set out in section 713 of the Corporations Act where the securities offered by the prospectus 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 12 months before the issue of the prospectus. A transaction specific prospectus is only required to contain information related to the issue of securities the subject of the prospectus. Other general information is not required to be included by a disclosing entity as the periodic reporting and continuous disclosure requirements now required of disclosing entities means that all this information should have previously been released to the market.
The Company is a "disclosing entity" for the purposes of section 111AC of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations which require it to disclose to the ASX any information of which it is, or becomes aware concerning the Company and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities of the Company.
Having taken such precautions and made such enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of the ASX (as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus) which requires the Company to notify the ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of the ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by the ASX.
$4.2$ Copies of Documents
Copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of the ASIC. The Company will provide a copy of each of the following documents, without charge, to any person on request prior to the Closing Date:
- the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2004 (being the last $(a)$ annual financial report to be lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company before the issue of this Prospectus); and
- continuous disclosure notices given during the period starting after the (b) lodgement with the ASIC of the annual financial report referred to in (a) above and ending before the issue of the Prospectus being the following documents:

$4.3$ Rights Attaching to Shares
Full details of the rights attaching to the Company's Shares are set out in its Constitution.
The following is a summary of the rights which attach to the Shares and which will attach to the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus.
Voting
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 fully paid share held by him or her, and a proportionate vote for every partly paid share, registered in such shareholder's name on the Company's share register.
A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of the meeting, by any 5 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, or paid up value of, the shares of all those shareholders having the right to vote at that meeting.
Dividends
Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared by the Directors. Dividends declared will be payable on the shares at a fixed amount per share.
Transfer of Shares
A shareholder may transfer shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the ASX or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by the ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.
The Directors of the Company may refuse to register any transfer of shares, other than a proper SCH transfer (as defined in the Corporations Act), where permitted by the Listing Rules. The Company must not refuse to register or give effect to or delay or in any way interfere with a proper SCH transfer of shares or other securities.
Meetings and Notice
Each shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to shareholders under the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
Liquidation Rights
The Company has only issued one class of shares, which all rank equally in the event of liquidation. Once all the liabilities of the Company are satisfied, a liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of shareholders divide the whole or any part of the remaining assets of the Company. The liquidator can with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company's shareholders vest the whole or any part of the assets in trust for the benefit of shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit, but no shareholder of the Company can be 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 the general meeting. At least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
Listing Rules
Despite anything in the Constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done.
