Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be made by an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights 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.
Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.
No Investment Advice
The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice or investment advice and does not take into account your
financial or investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs (including financial or taxation issues). You should seek professional advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus to determine whether it meets your objectives, financial situation and needs.
Forward - looking statements
This Prospectus contains forwardlooking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company’s management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forwardlooking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forwardlooking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 5.
Overseas shareholders
The Offers 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 Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offers are not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.12.
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 Securities.
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 three 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.
Please refer to Section 6.2 for further details.

You may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company by phone on (08) 9481 0389 during office hours or by emailing the Company at [email protected].

Company Website
No documents or other information available on the Company’s website is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference.
Financial forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of
potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Clearing House Electronic SubRegister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply 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.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. 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.
Photographs and Diagrams
Photographs used in this Prospectus which do not have descriptions are for illustration only and should not be interpreted to mean that any person shown endorses the Prospectus or its contents or that the assets shown in them are owned by the Company. Diagrams used in this Prospectus are illustrative only and may not be drawn to scale.
Definitions and Time

Shareholder and to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder.

Key Risk Factors
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities involves a number of risks and an investment in the Company should be considered as highly speculative. The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are set out in Section 5.
1.4 Directors' Interests in Securities
The relevant interest of each of the Directors in the Securities of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus, together with their respective Entitlement, is set out in the table below:
| Director | Shares | Options | Share Entitlement |
New Option Entitlement |
$ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ralph Winter | 914,104 | 8,513,894 | 304,702 | 152,351 | 4,570.53 |
| Terry Streeter | 2,981,250 | 5,160,417 | 993,750 | 496,875 | 14,906.25 |
| Shane Sadleir | 4,018,158 | 12,835,760 | 1,339,386 | 669,693 | 20,090.79 |
| Adrian Larking | 1,118,672 | 6,319,490 | 304,702 | 152,351 | 4,570.53 |
The Board recommends all Shareholders take up their Entitlements. The Directors reserve the right to take up their respective Entitlement in whole or in part at their discretion.

1.5 Details of Substantial Holders
Those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:
| Shareholder | Shares | % |
|---|---|---|
| Salvatore Di Vicenzo | 14,164,855 | 5.46 |
In the event all Entitlements are accepted there will be no change to the substantial holders on completion of the Entitlement Offer.
1.6 Lead Manager
No lead manager has been appointed for the Entitlement Offer.
The Company notes that the Broker was appointed as the lead manager of the Placement. Pursuant to the Placement Offer under this Prospectus, Placement Participants are invited to apply for one free attaching New Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement. The material terms of the mandate with the Broker, including total fees payable, are set out in Section 2.1 below.
1.7 Effect on Control
Based on current shareholding and Entitlements of Shareholders, as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Entitlement Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding, to an amount in excess of 19.9% through applying for their Entitlements.
Further as set out in Section 2.9, on the basis of the allocation policy, no person will acquire, through participation in the Shortfall Offer a holding of Shares of, or increase their holding to, an amount in excess of 19.9% of all the Shares on issue on completion of the Entitlement Offer.
Further there will be no change to any Shareholder’s voting power as a result of the issue of the New Options on completion of the Offers. Where Shares are issued on exercise of New Options held by an existing Shareholder, the voting power of the Shareholder would increase. The likelihood of New Options being exercised is dependent on the price of Shares from time to time until the New Options expire.
1.8 Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus under the Entitlement Offer are issued and exercised, Shareholders who do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 33.33% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).
For illustrative purposes, the table below shows how the dilution may impact the holdings of Shareholders:
7
| Holder | Holding as at Record date |
% at Record Date |
Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer |
Holdings if Entitlement Offer not taken Up |
% post Entitlement Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 10,000,000 | 3.85% | 3,333,333 | 10,000,000 | 2.89% |
| Shareholder 2 | 5,000,000 | 1.93% | 1,666,667 | 5,000,000 | 1.44% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,500,000 | 0.58% | 500,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.43% |
| Shareholder 4 | 400,000 | 0.15% | 133,333 | 400,000 | 0.12% |
| Shareholder 5 | 50,000 | 0.02% | 16,667 | 50,000 | 0.01% |
Notes:
-
This assumes that the Maximum Subscription of $1,297,889 is raised under the Entitlement Offer.
-
This is based on a share capital of 259,577,753 Shares as at the date of the Prospectus and assumes no Options currently on issue are exercised or any other Shares are issued.
-
The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

2.6 Payment options
- (a) By BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
-
(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
Guidance where you have more than one BPay Reference Number (Shareholding of Shares)
12
If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the BPay Reference Number specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same BPay Reference Number for more than one of your Shareholdings . This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
- (b) By Cheque
Payment by cheque or case will not be accepted.
-
(c) By Electronic Funds Transfer (overseas applicants)
-
Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer ( EFT ) is only available to Eligible Shareholders who do not have an Australian bank account. If you wish to arrange for payment by EFT and are an Eligible Shareholder without an Australian bank account, please contact [email protected] for payment instructions.
2.7 Implications of an acceptance
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application monies by BPAY® will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:
-
(a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;
-
(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® payment instruction is given in relation to any Application monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
2.8 Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription.
2.9
Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will form the Shortfall Offer ( Shortfall Securities ). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.015, being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Entitlement Offer.
If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall Offer and potentially be allocated to other Eligible Shareholders or other third parties as part of the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will only be available where there is a Shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer.
13
Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Securities above their Entitlement are invited to apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Sections 2.6.
The Board presently intends to allocate Shortfall Securities as follows:
-
(a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement, so long as the issue of Shortfall Securities to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.99%; and then
-
(b) to other parties identified by the Directors, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.
No Shares will be issued to a party under the Shortfall Offer if the effect would be to increase that party’s voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.99%.
The Company reserves the right to issue an Eligible Shareholder a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than applied for or no Shortfall Securities at all. However, the Directors do not intend to refuse an application for Shortfall Securities from Eligible Shareholders other than in circumstances of oversubscription or where acceptance may result in a breach of the Corporations Act. If the number of Shortfall Securities applied for by Eligible Shareholders exceeds the total Shortfall, the Shortfall Securities will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders proportionate to their existing holdings.
All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be made by the Directors and will be final and binding on all applicants under the Shortfall Offer; as such there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Securities applied for will be issued to Eligible Shareholders.
The Company will have no liability to any Applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Securities they applied for under the Shortfall Offer. If the Company scales back any applications for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer any Application monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable.
The Company may engage the services of one or more licensed securities dealers to assist in placing any Shortfall to interested third parties and reserves the right to pay a fee for such services that is commensurate with customary market practices.
2.10 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
Application for Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus will also be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of
14
the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will still issue the New Options and will not be quoted on the ASX.
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.
2.11 Issue of Securities
Securities issued pursuant to the Offers will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 1.
Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made surplus Application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.
Pending the 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 the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offers will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of Securities and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.
2.12 Overseas shareholders
The Offers do not, and are 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 Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offers are not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

This Prospectus has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.
15
Nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians may not submit an Entitlement and Acceptance Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia and New Zealand without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.
2.13 Commission payable
The Company reserves the right to pay a commission that is consistent with industry standard fees for services provided by licensed securities dealers or Australian financial services licensees of amounts subscribed through any licensed securities dealers or Australian financial services licensees in respect of any valid applications lodged and accepted by the Company and bearing the stamp of the licensed securities dealer or Australian financial services licensee. Payments will be subject to receipt of a proper tax invoice form the licensed securities dealer or Australian financial services licensee.

17
On 25 May 2023, the Company announced that funds to be raised under the Entitlement Offer and Placement would be used for general working capital and applied to exploration at the Company’s Whistlepipe Critical Minerals Projects, Silver Swan North Project and Burracoppin Project.
Where less than the maximum amount under the Entitlement Offer of $1,297,889 has been raised, funds raised will first be allocated to the expenses of the Offers and then equally towards items 1 to 4 above will be scaled back pro-rata to the amounts allocated to these items at full subscription, based on the actual amount raised under the Entitlement Offer.
On completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Board believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to achieve its stated objectives. In the event the Entitlement Offer is not fully subscribed, operational objectives are likely to be modified, which may result in delay or substantial changes to the Company’s future plans.
In addition, it should be noted that the Company’s budgets and forecasts will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results achieved from its business activities and operations.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the way the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares being offered and the underlying security to the New Option offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
(b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
22
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, 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 he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the 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.
(e)
Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f)
Transfer of shares
Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
23
(h) Variation of rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

-
(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Options.
If a notice delivered under (g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
(h) Quotation of Options
The Company will seek quotation of the New Options in accordance with the Listing Rules and Corporations Act, subject to satisfaction of the quotation conditions of the ASX Listing Rules. In the event that quotation of the New Options cannot be obtained, the New Options will remain unquoted.
(i) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the New Options rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.
(j) Reconstruction of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.
(k) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of
25
capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options without exercising the New Options.
(l) Change in exercise price
An New Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.
(m) Transferability
The New Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.
The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 5, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.
The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.
The risks factors set out in this Section 5, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Securities.

5.2 Company specific
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Potential for dilution | Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). No immediate dilution will occur because of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus pursuant to the Entitlement Offer. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus under the Entitlement Offer are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 33.33% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share or an Option will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters. The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.013 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer. |
27
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| The last trading price of Listed Options on ASX, being ASX:MOHO: and ASX:MOHOA prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.001 and $0.002, respectively, is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Listed Options after implementation of the Offer. |
|
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Entitlement Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |
| Going Concern | The Company’s half year report for the period ended 31 December 2022 (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company and the possible existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss after tax for the period ended 31 December 2022 of $562,5361 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $460,932 and investing activities of $1,168,444. As at 31 December 2022 the Company had a working capital deficit of $843,574 and cash and cash equivalents of $364,515. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Directors consider that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors: (a) the Company is able to raise additional funds through equity capital raising and has a history of being successful in raising capital, as and when required; (b) the Company received Research and Development refund of $979,138 on 2 March 2023; and (c) the Company has the ability to scale back certain parts of their activities to conserve cash. Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ emphasis of matter included in the Financial Report, the Directors believe that upon the successful completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s current exploration commitments and short term working capital requirements. However, it is highly likely that further funding will be required to meet the medium to long term working capital costs of the Company. In the event that the Entitlement Offer is not completed successfully there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. |
28
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Joint Venture Risk | The Company is earning interests in four tenements pertaining to the Empress Springs (EPM25/208, EPM25/209 and EPM25/210) and Burracoppin (E70/4688) Projects. The Company is not the registered owner of those tenements and therefore the Company’s ability to achieve its objectives in respect of the tenements is dependent upon it and the registered holder of the tenements complying with their obligations under the relevant earn-in agreements giving rise to the Company’s interest, and on the registered holder complying with the terms and conditions of the tenements and any other applicable legislation. Any failure to comply with these obligations may result in the Company losing its interest in those tenements, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and the performance and value of the Options. The Company has no current reason to believe that the registered owners of those tenements will not meet and satisfy their respective obligations under the relevant agreements, the tenement conditions and other applicable legislation. There is also a risk of financial failure or default under the joint venture arrangements by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is, or may become, a party. Any withdrawal by a joint venture party or any issues with their ability to perform the obligations due under the joint venture arrangements could have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Company. There is also the risk of disputes arising with the Company’s joint venture partners, the resolution of which could lead to delays in the Company’s proposed development activities or financial loss. |
| Tenure, access and grant of applications |
Applications Some of the Company’s tenements are at various stages of application and grant. There can be no assurance that the tenement applications that are currently pending will be granted. There can also be no assurance that when a tenement is granted, it will be granted in its entirety as some tenement areas may be excluded. The Company is unaware of any circumstances that would prevent the tenement applications from being granted. Access A number of the Western Australian tenements overlap certain pastoral, historical or general leases. The Company is not aware of any improvements and other features on the land the subject of the pastoral, historical or general leases which overlaps the Western Australian tenements which would require the Company to obtain the consent of the occupier or lease holder or prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed activities on the Western Australian tenements. Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Western Australian tenements, the Company may need to consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the lease holders to ensure the requirements of the_Mining Act_1978 (WA) are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of an agreement, the Warden’s Court of Western Australia determines compensation payable. Further, a number of the Queensland tenements overlap certainpastoral or land leases. The Companyis required to |
29
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| provide a notice of intention to enter such land and depending on the level of impact of the exploration activity, to enter into a conduct and compensation agreement (CCA) with each owner and occupier of such land. The requirement to enter into a CCA relates to any activities which are likely to have more than a minimal impact on the land or the owner’s or occupier’s business operations. These are known as advanced activities. Most ground disturbing works will fall into this category, including clearing access tracks or drill pads, drilling, bulk sampling and geophysical surveys. |
|
| Operational Risks | 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, insufficient or unreliable infrastructure, such as power, water and transport, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs and adverse weather conditions. In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be adversely affected. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. |
| Acquisitions | The Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies or assets that are complementary to its business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies or assets, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving mineral exploration success and retaining key staff. |
| Reliance on key management |
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. |
| Climate Risk | There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include: (a) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts,there can be noguarantee that the |
30
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and (b) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates. |
|
| Industry specific | |
| Risk Category | Risk |
| Exploration costs | 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 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. |
| Metallurgy Risk | When compared with many industrial and commercial operations, mining exploration project are high risk. Each ore body is unique and the nature of the mineralisation, the occurrence and grade of the ore, as well as its behaviour during mining can never be wholly predicted. Estimations of a mineral deposit are not precise calculations but are based on interpretation and on samples from drilling which represent a very small sample of the entire ore body. Reconciliation of past production and reserves, where available, can confirm the reasonableness of past estimates, but cannot categorically confirm accuracy of future projections. The applications of metallurgical test work results and conclusions to the process design, recoveries and throughput depend on the accuracy of the test work and assumption that the sample tests are representative of the ore body as a whole. There is a risk associated with the scale-up of laboratory and pilot plant results to a commercial scale and with the subsequent design and construction of any plant. |
| Environmental Risks | The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to certain 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. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated 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 mayimpact on the Company’s ongoingcompliance |
5.3 Industry specific
31
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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 environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. The disposal of mining and process 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 are 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. |
5.4 General risks
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Economic | General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. |
| Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risks |
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity prices 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 for minerals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. Furthermore, prices of various commodities and services may be denominated in United States dollars, whereas the reporting currency of the Company is in Australian dollars, 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. |
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: (a) general economic outlook; (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Companynor the Directors warrant the |
32
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. In addition, the extent of the potential effects of COVID-19 may unexpectedly evolve and influence the volatility of equity markets generally and may impact and influence the value of the Company’s quoted securities. |
|
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Entitlement Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |
| Litigation risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Options will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All prospective investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Options under this Prospectus. |
5.5 Speculative investment
