KEY INVESTMENT RISKS – SUMMARY

Please read and consider this Prospectus in full in conjunction with any specific matters which have or may be referred to in the Company’s ASX announcements before making any decision regarding taking up your entitlement to New Shares or any shortfall, exercising any existing options or making an investment in the Company. In particular, the risks described in Section 5 include risk areas considered specific to the Company, which are summarised below.

  • Risks associated with the option the Company currently holds (though its subsidiary Manitoba Minerals Pty Ltd) over the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project located in Canada. These risks include the risk the Company may not complete the expenditure necessary to enable it to exercise the option to acquire up to 95% ownership in the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project, and may therefore abandon it rights under the option, or may acquire 80% but not the maximum 95% ownership rights in the project. There are further counterparty risks associated with pursuit of the exercise of the option and country-specific risks associated with conducting minerals exploration in Canada.

  • There being no certainty any program or project will be successful, or, if any resources are identified, that such resources can or will be successfully or economically exploited within a particular timeframe, if at all.

  • Risk associated with financing and being able to raise further funds in the future, particularly as substantial further funding may be required to continue and complete the Company’s programs and projects, including to satisfy the conditions to the exercise of the option over the Thompson Brother Lithium Project.

  • Reliance on key management, employees and contractors.

  • Risk associated with the grant, maintenance and renewal of, and access to, tenements.

  • The Company having no demonstrated history of production or income and it not being envisaged that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

  • Risks of mining and exploration including environmental regulation, compliance with standards, native title and cultural heritage requirements.

  • Risk the shareholding in the Company of shareholders who do not take up their entitlements pursuant to the Rights Issue will be diluted.

In addition to the above, there are other risks both specific to the Company and of a more general nature, such as general economic and market conditions.

1. Details of the offers

1.1 The Rights Issue

Quantum Resources Limited ( the Company or Quantum ) offers to its shareholders, as recorded on the share registry records on the Record Date and who have a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore (each an Eligible Shareholder ), the right to participate in a non-renounceable rights issue of 1 new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) for every 5 existing shares ( Shares ) held at the Record Date at an issue price of 1.6 cents ($0.016) per New Share ( the Rights Issue ), with 1 free-attaching option ( New Option ) to acquire an ordinary fully paid share in the Company for each New Share issued. The Rights Issue will raise up to approximately $989,247 (before costs).

Fractional entitlements to New Shares will be rounded up.

1.2 Exercise price and expiry date of New Options

New Options have an exercise price of 3.25 cents ($0.0325), expiry date of 31 August 2020 and, upon exercise, entitle the holder to one ordinary fully paid share in the Company.

Further terms of New Options are set out at section 9.2 of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus also contains an offer of 10,000,000 AGM Options, having the same terms of the New Options, which does not form part of the Rights issue and is only capable of acceptance by the persons set out in Section 6.4.

1.3 No Rights Trading

Entitlements to New Shares and New Options pursuant to the Rights Issue are not renounceable and accordingly, there is no ability to trade rights on ASX or elsewhere.

1.4 Non-qualifying Foreign Shareholders

Only shareholders with addresses in the Company’s register of members in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore are eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.

The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Rights Issue offer outside Australia, New Zealand and Singapore having regard for:

  • the number of holders in places where the Rights Issue would be made;

  • the number and value of securities those holders would be offered; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements of regulatory authorities in those jurisdictions.

A total of 52,915,185 Shares (17.12% of existing issued Shares) are held by 168 non-qualifying foreign shareholders in 14 different countries. These Shares of the non-qualifying foreign shareholders are equivalent to entitlements to 10,853,037 New Shares (approximately $169,328 at the 1.6 cent issue price). The entitlements of non-qualifying foreign shareholders will form part of the shortfall.

1.5 Underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten.

1.6 Shortfall

Any part of your entitlement to New Shares under this Prospectus not taken up will form part of the shortfall.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you apply for your full entitlement you may also apply for more New Shares than the number shown on your Entitlement and Acceptance form. To do this, please complete Section B in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The issue of additional New Shares in response to applications for additional New Shares will depend on there being sufficient shortfall available after all valid acceptances of entitlements are fulfilled. The allocation of

  • 8 -

shortfall to Eligible Shareholders will be at the discretion of the Board. The Board will endeavour, where possible, to allot shortfall shares (whether to Eligible Shareholders or third parties) to a spread of investors in order to mitigate the control effects which may otherwise arise from issuing shortfall to a single or small number of investors.

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting to be held on 30 November 2016, shareholders will be asked to approve:

  • Mr Kimelman having the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe for up to 15,000,000 New Shares and free-attaching New Options from the shortfall; and

  • Mr Herszberg and Mr Bernstein each having the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe for up to 2,000,000 New Shares and free attaching New Options each from the shortfall.

The number of New Shares (and free-attaching New Options) that you receive as a result of a shortfall application (if any) will depend on the extent to which Eligible Shareholders accept their entitlements to the Rights Issue, the extent to which Eligible Shareholders who accept their entitlement in full apply for shortfall and the discretion of the Board to accept or reject shortfall applications in whole or in part. Additional New Shares and free-attaching New Options will not be issued to shareholders or others from the shortfall where to do so would involve a breach of the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any applicable law.

The Company also reserves the right to offer and issue shortfall New Shares and New Options at its discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date. The offer of New Shares and free-attaching New Options from the shortfall is an offer of the New Shares and free-attaching New Options offered under the Rights Issue not otherwise taken up by Eligible Shareholders.

The Company will seek to place any unallocated shortfall remaining after all shortfall applications from Eligible Shareholders are filled with third-party investors which are not related parties of the Company (save and except any issues made to the Directors with shareholder approval contemplated above).

As noted above, to the extent that it is commercially practicable, and taking into account QUR’s funding requirements, the Board will endeavour to allot the shortfall to a spread of investors in order to mitigate any control effects which may arise from issuing New Shares from the shortfall to a single or small number of investors. In any event, no subscriber will be permitted to acquire shares from the shortfall to the extent that such acquisition would result in the subscriber (either alone or in conjunction with its associates) obtaining voting power in QUR in excess of 20% in breach of Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act or would otherwise be contrary to the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

1.7 ASX Listing

The Company will apply to ASX for admission of the New Shares to official quotation within 7 days of lodgement of this Prospectus. 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 those securities.

If ASX does not grant permission for the Official Quotation of the New Shares within three months after the date of issue of this Prospectus (or such period as is permitted by the Corporations Act), the Company, in its absolute discretion, will either repay the acceptance monies to applicants without interest or (subject to any necessary ASIC or ASX waivers or consents being obtained) issue a supplementary or replacement prospectus and allow applicants one month to withdraw their acceptances and be repaid their acceptance monies without interest.

The New Options and AGM Options will be unlisted however the Company intends, subject to meeting the ASX listing requirements, to apply for quotation of the New Options and AGM Options however the Company makes no guarantee that the New Options or AGM Options will be admitted to quotation at any given time, or at all.

2. Purpose of the Rights Issue

The Company is undertaking the Rights Issue to raise capital for the purposes set out below:

  • As previously disclosed, upon acquisition of Manitoba Minerals Pty Ltd, the Company acquired an option to earn up to a 95% ownership interest in the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project located in Wekusko Lake, Manitoba, Canada ( Project Option ). In order to exercise the Project Option, the Company must make certain payments and fund exploration activities on the tenements over a period of 5 years. Funds from the Rights Issue may be applied to exploration and development of the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project and payment obligations under the Project Option.

  • 9 -

5. Risks

The New Shares and options offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. There are various factors, both specific to the Company and general, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of any investment in the Company.

Some of these factors can be mitigated through safeguards and appropriate commercial action and controls. However, many are outside the control of the Company and therefore cannot be mitigated. There are also general risks associated with share investment. Hence, investors should be aware that the performance of the Company may be affected and the value of its Shares may rise or fall over any given period.

This section describes certain (non-exhaustive) risks associated with investment in the Company. Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information contained in this Prospectus.

5.1 Company Specific Risks

(A) Risks of non-exercise or abandonment of Option

The Company may (through its subsidiary) elect not to pursue, or not complete the expenditure required for, the exercise of the Project Option to acquire up to a 95% ownership interest in the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project and therefore abandon the Project Option in full. The Company (though its subsidiary) may also only complete expenditure sufficient to exercise the Project Option to acquire an interest in 80%, but not 95% of the project. The Project Option requires certain payments be made and requires funding of exploration expenditure in order for the Company’s subsidiary to obtain it rights to acquire up to 95% of the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project. There is a risk that the Company may, in the future, having made some or a substantial part of this expenditure elect not to

  • 13 -

pursue the Project Option for reasons which may include changes in commodity prices and an assessment of the results of its exploration activities.

(B)

Counterparty Risk

The Company (through its subsidiary) holds it rights to the Project Option via a contractual arrangement with a Canadian entity, Ashburton Ventures Inc. ( ABR ). ABR holds its rights via a further contractual arrangement with the holders of the tenements which comprise the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project. There is a risk the counterparties to these contractual arrangements may fail to perform their obligations under existing or future agreements. This could lead to delays, increase in costs, disputes or litigation. There can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in seeking remedies or enforcement of its rights through legal actions should such disputes occur.

(C) Country Specific Risks

In pursuing its rights to the Thomson Bros. Lithium Project, the Company will be subject to countryspecific risks associated with seeking to explore and develop assets in Canada. The Company‘s ability to carry on business in the normal course may be adversely affected by considerations associated with economic instability or change, changes in regulatory regimes affecting foreign ownership, exchange rate fluctuations, and/or changes to mining licensing and regulatory regime.

In addition, the Company’s ability to successfully exploit projects commercially may depend on robust transport and service infrastructure and availability of labour. Material delays in the transportation of equipment, supplies or resources or the lack of availability of reliable and adequately skilled labour may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

(D) Grant, maintenance and access to tenements

The implementation of the Company’s planned minerals exploration projects requires government licences, permits and other approvals, principally in the form of government instruments. Obtaining approval for the grant of tenements and ensuring compliance with the conditions of the grant can be complex, costly and time consuming and are therefore not assured. In addition, the maintenance of tenements requires compliance with annual expenditure and reporting requirements. Failure to obtain or renew a tenement, or a failure to comply with reporting requirements, could mean the Company would be unable to proceed with the continued exploration and development of a particular project. This in turn would likely adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and prospects. The permits the Company needs may not be issued, maintained or renewed either in a timely fashion or at all which could also adversely affect its financial position or prospects.

There are or may be various restrictions operating to exclude, limit or impose conditions upon the Company’s ability to conduct exploration activities on parts of all of the Company’s projects. These restrictions include:

  • exclusions from pursuing exploration on certain areas of Commonwealth land;

  • requirements arising from Native Title legislation and claims;

  • requirements arising from state legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage, culture and objects;

  • environment based conditions and restrictions;

  • access procedures and compensation requirements in relation to privately held land; and

  • access procedures and conditions in relation to land falling within deeds of grant in trust.

The Company will formulate its exploration plans to accommodate and work within the access restrictions outlined, however the requirements can be complex and sometimes require approvals, consents or negotiations involving government and third parties. As such, there is a risk one or more

  • 14 -

of these access issues may prevent the Company from implementing its intended exploration plans which may thereby adversely affect the Company’s financial position and prospects.

(E) Mining and exploration risk

The Company undertakes programs and projects on exploration tenements with significant exploration risk.

The business of exploration, mineral development and production by its nature is highly risky. The success of the Company will depend on the successful development of resources and successful management of operations.

There is no certainty any program or project will be successful, or that if any resources are identified that they can or will be successfully or economically exploited within a particular timeframe or at all.

(F) Environmental regulation and risk

State and federal laws and regulations regarding environmental hazards set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality, and with penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards. The laws and regulations establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to remediate facilities or locations where operations are or were conducted.

Significant liability can be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs, or penalties for noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations, for example, due to discharges into the environment, and can include environmental damage caused by previous holders of rights in locations held or acquired by the Company or its subsidiaries. Similar laws and regulations may also exist in jurisdictions in which the Company may do business in the future.

(G) Financing

Substantial further funding may be required to continue and complete the Company’s programs and projects. The Company’s ability to take advantage of opportunities may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all.

(H) Reliance on key management and employees

The Company is reliant upon individuals with responsibility of overseeing the operations and management of the Company and will be dependent on the Company being able to attract and retain qualified management, technical and other personnel. Cessation of the availability, employment or engagement of one or more of its officers, employees or contractors may have a detrimental impact on the Company.

(I) Lack of production, income or dividends

The Company has no demonstrated history of production or of generating income. There is no certainty that production may start or income be generated at any particular time or at all, or that production or the levels of revenue (if achieved) will be profitable.

The Directors cannot give any assurance concerning the extent and timing of future dividends (if any) as this will depend on the future profitability and financial position of the Company as well as other economic factors. It is not envisaged that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

(J)

Dilution

The percentage shareholding in the Company of existing shareholders who do not take up their rights in full pursuant to the Rights Issue will be diluted. Shareholders who do not take up their rights in full may be diluted depending on the extent to which the Rights Issue is subscribed by other shareholders

  • 15 -

or third-parties who apply for and received New Shares from any shortfall. Further details of the potential dilutive impact of the Rights Issue are set out in Section 4.1.

Shareholders may also be diluted upon exercise of New Options or AGM Options (although there is no guarantee that any New Options or AGM Options will be exercised).

(K) Speculative nature of investment

Acquiring or dealing with shares and options involves risks. An investment in the Company involves risks that may be higher than risks associated with investment in other companies.

No guarantee can be given about the market value or price of New Shares, New Options or AGM Options (which may be less than the issue price).

There can also be no guarantee the Company’s share price will be greater than the exercise price of the New Options or AGM Options during the period up their expiry. Accordingly, there is a risk the New Options or AGM Options will be out of the money during the exercise period, which would affect their value.

The New Shares and any shares issued upon exercise of New Options or AGM Options carry no guarantee with respect to payment of dividends, return of capital or their market value or price. No guarantee can be given that the Company’s share price will be greater than the exercise price.

5.2 General Risks

(A)

Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risk including contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. The Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future, potentially resulting in litigation. Any such claim or dispute, if proven, may adversely impact the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position.

(B)

Liquidity

There can be no assurance there will be, or continue to be, an active market for shares or that the price of shares will increase.

(C) Economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may adversely affect the Company’s activities, as well as its ability to fund those activities. Further, share market conditions may affect the value of Company securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors, such as:

  • general economic outlook;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

(D)

Taxation

There may be tax implications arising from applications for New Shares, the receipt of dividends both franked and unfranked (if any) from the Company, participation in any on-market buy-back and on the future disposal of Shares.

  • 16 -

5.3 Above risk factors not exhaustive

The above risk factors should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of New Shares offered under this Prospectus.

Potential investors should consider that investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisors before making any decision regarding applying for New Shares or investment in the Company.

7. Continuous Disclosure Obligations

This Prospectus is issued by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act applicable to a prospectus for continuously quoted securities.

Section 713 of the Corporations Act enables a company to issue a special prospectus where the securities under that prospectus are continuously quoted securities, or options over continuously quoted securities, within the meaning of the Corporations Act. This generally means that the relevant securities are in a class of securities, or options over a class of securities, that were quoted enhanced disclosure securities at all times during the 3 months before the date of this Prospectus and that other requirements relating to the Company not being subject to various exemptions and orders under the Corporations Act within the last 12 months are met.

In summary, special prospectuses are required to contain information in relation to the effect of the offer of securities on the company and the rights and liabilities 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. Accordingly, this Prospectus does not contain the same level of disclosure as a prospectus of an unlisted company or an initial public offering prospectus.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquiries 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 12 months before the date 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.

For the purpose of satisfying section 713(5) of the Corporations Act a prospectus must incorporate information if such information:

  • (a) has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules; and

  • (b) is information that investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

  • the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profit and losses and prospects of the Company; and

  • the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities being offered.

The prospectus must contain this information only to the extent to which it is reasonable for investors and their professional advisors to expect to find such information in the prospectus. The Company is not aware of any matters that need to be disclosed under this section of the Corporations Act that have not been previously disclosed or which have not been set out in this Prospectus.

  • 19 -

From time to time the Company seeks and engages in discussions on an ongoing basis in respect of potential new investment opportunities both in Australia and overseas. Funds may be used to fund the costs associated with identifying, investigating and pursuing new opportunities. From time to time the Company may also investigate opportunities for the divestment of non-core assets and businesses. While the Company may seek and negotiate potential investment or divestment opportunities in this respect, there is no certainty that any arrangement(s) will be finalised on particular terms, at a specific time, or at all. The Company will make further announcements in respect of any such discussions or negotiations in accordance with its disclosure obligations as developments occur.

As a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, the Company is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Copies of documents lodged with ASX and ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from or inspected by accessing the respective web sites.

11. Taxation

Recipients of the Rights Issue offer should seek and obtain their own taxation advice before accepting entitlements to Shares so that they may first satisfy themselves of any taxation implications associated with acquiring Shares.

12. Overseas Shareholders

12.1 Overseas Investors

This Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

Shareholders holding shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up the Rights Issue offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or payment will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of such regulations. Shareholders who are nominees are therefore advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. The Rights Issue offer has not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act and has not been made in the United States of America or to persons resident in the United States of America.

The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Rights Issue offer to Shareholders outside of Australia and New Zealand and Singapore having regard to:

  • (a) the number of shareholders registered outside of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore;

  • (b) the number and value of securities to be offered to Shareholders registered outside of Australia and New Zealand and Singapore; and

  • (c) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and requirements of regulatory authorities in overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, the Company is not required to make the Rights Issue offer to non-qualifying foreign shareholders (shareholders with addresses on the Company’s Register of Members outside of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore) whose entitlements will form part of the shortfall.

12.2 New Zealand Regulatory Requirements

The Offer to New Zealand investors is being made pursuant to the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013. The offer is made to New Zealand holders under the exemption notice and otherwise in compliance with Australian laws.

This document has not been registered, filed with or approved by a New Zealand regulatory authority under the Securities Act 1978 (New Zealand). This document is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

12.3 Singapore Regulatory Requirements

This Prospectus will be provided to shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in Singapore at 7pm on the Record Date who will be invited to participate in the Rights Issue. Those investors should be aware that:

  • The Rights Issue offer is made in reliance on the exemption under section 272B(1) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Cap. 289) (“SFA”). It is not made in or accompanied by a prospectus that is registered by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. You should carefully consider whether this investment is suitable for you.

  • The New Shares and New Options are not allowed to be offered to any person in Singapore other than a permitted offeree under section 272B of the SFA. In the event that you are not an investor who is a permitted offeree, please return the Prospectus to the Company immediately. You may not forward, distribute or circulate the Prospectus to any person in Singapore.

  • This Right Issue offer is not made to you with a view to the New Shares or New Options being subsequently offered for sale to any other party in Singapore. There are resale restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire New Shares and New Options. Where New Shares and New Options are subscribed or purchased pursuant to the Rights Issue, such New Shares and New

Options may not be subsequently offered for sale to any person in Singapore unless such resale is made in compliance with the SFA and/or in reliance on any applicable exemption(s) provided under the SFA.

12.4 Other Countries

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer for securities in any place where, or to any person whom, it would be unlawful to make such an offer. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia, New Zealand and Singapore may be restricted by law, and any persons outside Australia, New Zealand and Singapore who comes into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on, and observe any, such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Shares or the Rights Issue or otherwise to permit a public offering of the securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and should not be offered or sold within the USA.
