Objective

The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount under this Prospectus and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital.

  • (a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body; and

  • (b) either:

  • (i) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or

  • (ii) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities were issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and

  • (c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Issue of Shares

If the Directors decide to issue Shares under the Offer, the issue of Shares will take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Directors do not expect to issue any Shares under the Cleansing Offer.

Page 8 of 31

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 Offer.

Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for 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 Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of the Shares.

Other rights and liabilities relating to the Shares arise under the Corporations Act.

==> picture [14 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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 (subject to various limited powers of the Chairman under the Constitution to refuse admission or to require a person to leave in certain specified circumstances (e.g. where the person is disruptive).

Shareholders with at least 5% of the votes which may be cast in a general meeting may requisition general meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company (or may themselves convene a general meeting under section 249F of the Corporations Act).

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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:

  • (a) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (b) 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

  • (c) 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 fully paid Share held, but in respect of each partly paid shares shall have such fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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 a Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable in relation to each Share according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) on the Share is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Share.

Page 11 of 31

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.

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.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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.

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued under the Offer 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.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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.

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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 or grant options over unissued shares as they think fit. This right is subject in effect to specific limitations under the ASX Listing Rules as to the number of securities which can be issued by the Company in a 12 months period without Shareholders’ approval in a general meeting.

6. Risk Factors

==> picture [14 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

==> picture [16 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Company specific risks

(a) Requirements for capital

In the future the Company will require further funding. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on the Company’s activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations, dispose of assets or scale back its exploration programmes, as the case may be.

The Company’s ability to raise funds through the issue of Shares or other securities is subject to share market conditions from time to time. The market for securities in junior exploration companies can fluctuate.

There is, however, no certainty that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company and its Shareholders.

(b) Exploration success

The future profitability of the Company and the value of its securities are directly related to the results of exploration. The exploration tenements held by the Company are at various stages of exploration and potential investors should understand that minerals exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of these tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can ultimately be economically exploited.

The Company’s future exploration activities may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical

Page 14 of 31

difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title processes and laws relating to Aboriginal heritage, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the Company’s control.

The Company’s success will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain, renew or replace title to its tenements and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful, this could lead to diminution in the value of the Company’s tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of tenements.

The Company’s anticipated exploration costs 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 be materially different to these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(c) Mineral Commodity price volatility

Even if the Company’s exploration is successful, any resultant development or mining operations will be subject to a range of risk factors, including fluctuations in the market price for relevant mineral commodities.

If the Company achieves exploration success leading to mineral production, the Company’s financial performance will be sensitive to the price for that mineral. The price for minerals is affected by numerous factors and events that are beyond the Company’s control. These factors and events include general economic activity, world demand, forward selling activity, cost of production by the producers of such minerals and other matters such as inflationary expectations, interest rates, currency exchange rates (particularly the strength of the US dollar) as well as general global economic conditions and political trends.

(d) Forfeiture risk

The Company has in the past, not satisfied its expenditure conditions on all of its tenements. If the Company is unable to meet its tenement expenditure in the future, the Company may forfeit those tenements and this may have an adverse effect on the value of the Company and its securities. The travel and physical distancing restrictions imposed as a result of the Covid-19 virus may prevent the Company accessing its tenements or completing sufficient exploration activity to meet tenement expenditure commitments. In such cases, unless expenditure requirements may be reduced, deferred or waived as a result of the impact of the virus, the Company may forfeit those tenements.

(e) Weather window

One of the Company’s projects is located in the Northern Territory of Australia. The Northern Territory has a warm and humid monsoon climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Most rain falls during the period from

Page 15 of 31

December to April. Throughout this period, the Company’s activities may be restricted. Adverse weather conditions could lead to curtailment, delay or cancellation of the Company’s operations, which may result in the Company incurring significant financial costs. This may have a material adverse effect on the profitability of the Company and ultimately the value of the Company and its securities.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Industry specific risks

(a) COVID-19

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. Any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. This may include travel restrictions that limit or prevent the activities the Company can carry out on its tenements from time to time.

(b) Resource estimates

Any resource estimates released by the Company in the future will be expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which are valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretation, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(c) Operating and development risks

Even if the Company’s exploration is successful, the Company’s ability to achieve any production, development, operating cost and capital expenditure estimates in a timely basis cannot be assured. The business of minerals development and mining involves many risks and may be impacted by factors including ore tonnes, yield, input prices (some of which are unpredictable and beyond the Company’s control), overall availability of free cash to fund continuing development activities, labour force disruptions, cost overruns, change in the regulatory environment and other unforeseen contingencies such as the Covid-19 virus.

Other risks also exist such as environmental hazards (including discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals), industrial accidents and occupational and health hazards. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs and other monetary losses and possible legal liability to the owner or operator of a mine. The Company may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining activities in an area for which it was not responsible.

Page 16 of 31

The risks outlined above also mean that there can be no assurances as to the future development of a mining operation in relation to any of the Company’s projects or which the Company may acquire in the future.

(d) Environmental

The Company’s current and proposed activities are subject to state and federal 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 may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance 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 programs or mining activities.

(e) Tenure risks and native title

Interest in tenements in Australia is governed by the respective state and territory mining legislation. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

If exploration is successful, the Company will not be able to exploit any mineral deposit unless the Company has or acquires a mining lease. The grant of a mining lease is subject to ministerial discretion.

Additionally, in areas where native title exists or may exist, the ability of the Company to acquire a valid mining lease may also be subject to compliance with the ‘right to negotiate’ process under the Native Title Act. Compliance with this process can cause delays in obtaining the grant of a mining lease and does not ultimately guarantee that a mining lease will be granted.

Page 17 of 31

Attaining a negotiated agreement with native title claimants or holders to facilitate the grant of a valid mining can add significantly to the costs of any development or mining operation.

The ability of the Company to conduct activities on exploration or mining tenements is subject to compliance with laws protecting Aboriginal heritage. Conduct of site surveys to ensure compliance can be expensive and subject to delays. If any Aboriginal sites are located within areas of proposed exploration, mining or other activities, the ability of the Company to conduct those activities may be dependent on the Company obtaining further regulatory consents or approvals.

(f) Safety legislation

Current and future mines are subject to a range of safety legislation which may change in a manner that may include requirements in addition to those now in effect, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors and employees.

(g) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operation and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

(h) Industrial action

The Company is subject to the risk of industrial action and work stoppages by employees and contractors who provide services which are necessary for the continued operation of the Company’s businesses.

(a) Acquisition risk

The Company’s objectives include the pursuit of new projects in the resources sector, by way of acquisition or investment. The Directors will use their expertise and experience in the resources sector to assess the value of potential projects that have characteristics that are likely to provide returns to Shareholders. There can be no guarantee that any new project acquisition or investment will eventuate from these pursuits, or that any acquisitions will result in a return for Shareholders.

(i) Community relations and landowners

The Company’s ability to undertake exploration and production on tenements will depend in part on its ability to maintain good relations with relevant local communities. Any failure to adequately manager community and social expectations with respect to compensation for land access, employment opportunities, impact on local business and other expectations may lead to local dissatisfaction with the Company, which in turn may lead to disruptions

Page 18 of 31

in the exploration and production (if relevant at the time) programs for the tenements and potentially losses.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

General risks

(a) Liquidity of Shares

There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on the ASX at any time. This may increase the volatility of the price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in a market price being received which is less than the price that Shareholders paid to acquire their Shares.

(b) Stock market fluctuations and economic conditions

The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are expected to be quoted on the ASX. The price of Shares may rise or fall and there is no certainty in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the Shares may trade on the ASX.

The selling value of the Shares will be determined by the stock market and will be subject to a range of factors beyond the control of the Company, and the Directors and officers of the Company. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

  • (i) the demand for and availability of Shares; (ii) movements in domestic interest rates; (iii) exchange rates (iv) general and domestic economic activity; and (v) fluctuations in the Australian and international stock markets.

Returns from an investment from the Shares may also depend on general stock market conditions as well as the performance of the Company. There can be no guarantee that there will be an active market in the Shares.

Changes in economic and business conditions or government policies in Australia or internationally may affect the fundamentals which underpin the projected growth of the Company’s target markets or its cost structure and profitability. Adverse changes in such things as the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, government policy (including fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies), consumer spending and employment rates, amongst others, are out of the control of the Company and may result in material adverse impacts on the business or its operating results.

(c) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of subscribing for Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect

Page 19 of 31

to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

(d) Investment risks

As with any stock market investment, there are various risks associated with investing in the Company, specifically because of the nature of the Company’s exploration business and the present stage of development of the Company’s operations. Potential investors should consider whether the Shares offered under this Prospectus are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the risk factors set out in this section. Many of these risk factors are outside the Directors’ control. Whilst some common risk factors are set out in this section, it is not possible to produce an exhaustive list. The Directors recommend that potential investors consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

(e) Adverse changes to government policy and taxation

Changes in relevant taxation laws, interest rates, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes, and government policies, may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and ultimately the Company’s financial performance. These factors may ultimately affect the Company’s financial performance and the market price of the Shares.

(f) Claims, liability and litigation

The Company is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. As previously announced to the ASX, the Company is in dispute with various entities associated with former director Mr Michael Fotios with respect to outstanding loan and trade creditor debts owed by the Company and Redbank Operations Pty Ltd. These disputes may result in litigation, including by way of statutory demand. The Directors are seeking a commercial settlement for payment of these outstanding debts. If and to the extent any litigation arises in respect of these debts, the Directors consider the Company has sufficient cash reserves and access to funding to meet any amounts for which the Company Group is found to be liable.

While the Directors are not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company, the risk of litigation remains a general risk to the Company. The Company may incur costs in making payments to settle any such claims which may not be adequately covered by insurance or at all. Any litigation or settlement may have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial

Page 20 of 31

performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under this Prospectus.

7. Additional Information

==> picture [14 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, except as previously disclosed to the ASX in respect of outstanding loan and trade creditor amounts owed to entities associated with former Director Mr Michael Fotios, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any material legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

==> picture [16 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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 Company’s securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” 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.

This Prospectus is issued in circumstances where significant publicly available information in relation to the Company exists by virtue of disclosures to ASX. This Prospectus 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 are encouraged to 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 disclosure requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus. These disclosure requirements require 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.

Page 21 of 31

Information about the Company that is already in the public domain has not generally been included in this Prospectus other than certain information required to be included in this Prospectus by the Corporations Act.

The Company, as a ‘disclosing entity’ under the Corporations Act, states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

  • (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

  • (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act or any document lodged in relation to the Company under section 675 of the Corporations Act which are given or lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC or ASX in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

Details of documents lodged by the Company with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.

Remuneration and Benefits

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum.

A Director may be paid a fee or other amounts (i.e. non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.

Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (“CHESS”) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant 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 Shares 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.

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.
