1.11 ASX Listing

Application has been made to the ASX for quotation of the New Shares. The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription. Issues of New Shares under the Offer will only be made after permission for their quotation on the ASX has been granted.

1.12 CHESS

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 New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (HIN) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Monthly statements will be provided to holders of securities in the Company if there has been any change in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1.13 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders

This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Offer Document.

The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to Shareholders without registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand ( Ineligible Shareholders ) having regard to the:

  • (a) number of Ineligible Shareholders;

  • (b) number and value of New Shares that would be offered to Ineligible Shareholders; and

  • (c) cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and New Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

1.14 Taxation Implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document.

3 RISK FACTORS

3.1 General

The New Shares offered under this Offer Document should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.

The Directors recognise that there are numerous risk factors involved in an investment in 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 New Shares will trade.

The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports. Please note that the summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Offer Document in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.

3.2 Specific Risks

A number of specific risk factors that may impact the future performance of the Company are described below. Eligible Shareholders should note that this list is not exhaustive.

3.2.1 Operational Risks

The business of mineral exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on, among other things:

  • the discovery or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;

  • access to adequate capital for project development;

  • design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;

  • securing and maintaining title to mineral interests;

  • obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of mineral exploration, development and production; and

  • access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.

Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and the establishment of production facilities.

There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.

3.2.2 Exploration and Mining Risk

The business of mineral exploration and mining involves risks and hazards. For example, in an exploration context no assurance can be given that ore bodies will be detected with preferred or desirable tonnages or grades. High risk and substantial expense can be incurred without the requisite or expected degree of reward.

Even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered unforeseen risks can arise in the development and

Meteoric Resources NL – Offer Document

Page 12

production phase including the development of appropriate metallurgical processes, the receipt of necessary governmental permits, access to permits and the construction of mining and processing facilities, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labour forced disruption, the unavailability of materials and equipment, unusual or unexpected geological formation, pit failures, changes in the regulatory environment and weather conditions. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

3.2.4 Resource Estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information or techniques becomes available. In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the Company identifies a resource or reserve, actual ore reserves and resources (including grade and quantity) may differ from those estimated at an earlier time which may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

3.2.5 Ability to Exploit Successful Discoveries

It may not always be possible for the Company to participate in the exploitation of successful discoveries made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploitation will involve the need to obtain the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities, which may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. The infrastructure requirements around a successful discovery may also impact on the exploitation of a discovery.

Further, the decision to proceed to further exploitation may require the participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as those of the Company. As described above, such work may require the Company to meet or commit to financing obligations for which it may have not planned.

3.2.6 Compliance Risk

The Company holds an interest in various mining tenements. Title to these tenements is subject to the Company, as tenement holder, complying with the terms and conditions of each tenement, including the minimum annual expenditure commitments. There is a risk that if the Company does not comply with the terms and conditions of each tenement, it may lose its interest in the relevant tenement.

The Company has implemented appropriate policies and practices to mitigate the risk of not complying with the terms and conditions attaching to each of its tenements.

3.2.7 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. Further, the Company is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or managerial 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. The effects of such failures may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

3.2.8 Country Risk

The Company holds assets located in Australia and in Spain but may acquire assets in other foreign countries in the future. There are risks associated with exploration and mining activities and investments generally in foreign countries that may adversely affect the business, costs, expenditure and profitability of the Company. These risks include: (a) changes in foreign country government, government policies, regulatory regime, economic change, civil instability, attitudes towards foreigners or their businesses in their country;

Meteoric Resources NL – Offer Document

Page 13

  • (b) land access and environmental regulation may be adverse or beneficial; and

  • (c) the applicable legal regime including investment into and repatriation of revenue out of the foreign country.

3.2.9 Environmental Risk

The Company’s activities are subject to the environmental risks inherent in the mining industry. The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations in connection with operations it may pursue in the mining industry. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. However, the Company may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability.

Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.

3.2.10 Future capital needs and additional funding

The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements beyond the requirements as set out in this Offer Document will depend upon a number of factors including the extent of the Company’s ability to generate income from activities which the company cannot forecast with any certainty.

Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or develop projects. Further, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion and it may affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3.2.11 Insurance

Insurance against all risks associated with mineral exploration is not always available or affordable. The Company will maintain insurance where it is considered appropriate for its needs however it will not be insured against all risks either because appropriate cover is not available or because the Directors consider the required premiums to be excessive having regard to the benefits that would accrue.

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 operations of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates that it considers is reasonable.

3.3 General Risks

The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.

3.3.1 General Economic Climate

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company’s future revenues and securities price may be affected by these factors, as well as by fluctuations in the price of commodities, which are beyond the Company’s control.

Meteoric Resources NL – Offer Document

Page 14

3.3.2 Changes in Legislation and Government Regulation

Government legislation in Australia or any other relevant jurisdiction, including changes to the taxation system, may affect future earnings and the relative attractiveness of investing in the Company. Changes in government policy or statutory changes may also affect the Company and the value of its securities.

3.3.3 Competition for Projects

The Company competes with other companies, including mineral exploration and production companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company. As a result, such companies may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities and there can be no assurance that the Company can effectively compete with these companies.

The Company’s inability to secure a new project or business opportunity may have an adverse effect on the operations of the Company, its possible future profitability and the trading price of its securities, including the New Shares offered under this Offer Document.

3.3.4 Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risk

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
