All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions detailed in the Proxy Form.

Please note that:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • a proxy need not be a Shareholder;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy;

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Proxy Forms must be received by the Company no later than 10:00 am (WST) on Wednesday, 9 December 2020, being at least 48 hours before the Meeting.

The Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

2.2 Attendance at Meeting

The Board is closely monitoring the rapidly changing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The health of the Company’s Shareholders, employees and other stakeholders is of paramount importance.

While the Board would like to host all Shareholders in person, in order to minimise the risk to Shareholders and to the Company and its ongoing operations, the Company suggests that Shareholders do not attend the Meeting in person.

Accordingly, the Directors strongly encourage all Shareholders to lodge Proxy Forms prior to the Meeting. The Company advises that a poll will be conducted for each of the Resolutions.

The Board will continue to monitor Australian Government restrictions on public gatherings. If it becomes necessary or appropriate to make alternative arrangements to those set out in this Notice, the Company will notify Shareholders accordingly via the Company’s website at www.odysseyenergy.com.au and the ASX announcements platform.

3. Inter-Conditional Resolutions

Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) (the Acquisition Resolutions ) are inter-conditional, meaning that each of them will only take effect if they are approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders’ votes at the Meeting or the Board decides to waive the inter-conditionality of an Acquisition Resolution. The Board may, at its absolute discretion and subject to the Listing Rules and Corporations Act, elect to waive an Acquisition Resolution in the event a particular Acquisition Resolution is not passed but the Acquisitions could still proceed without the relevant Acquisition Resolution and the Board considers that it is in the best interests of Shareholders that the Acquisition proceed.

For the avoidance of doubt, Resolutions 1 (Change to Nature and Scale of Activities) and 3 (Creation of a New Class of Shares (Performance Shares) will not be waived by the Board. These Resolutions must be passed by the requisite majority of Shareholders for the Acquisitions to proceed.

If any of the Acquisition Resolutions are not approved at the Meeting and/or the inter-conditionality is not waived by the Board, none of the Acquisition Resolutions will take effect and the Acquisitions and other matters contemplated by the Acquisition Resolutions will not be completed.

Resolution 4 is conditional on the Acquisition Resolutions being approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders or the Board deciding to waive the inter-conditionality with the Acquisition Resolutions.

4. ASX and Shareholder Approval Requirements

The Acquisitions require the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if it were applying for admission to the Official List of ASX for the first time and therefore the Acquisitions may not proceed if those requirements are not met. ASX has absolute discretion in deciding whether or not to reinstate the Company's Shares to the Official List and to quote its Shares on ASX and therefore the Acquisitions may not proceed if ASX exercises that discretion.

ASX (and its officers) take no responsibility for the contents of this Notice.

The Acquisitions require Shareholder approval under the Listing Rules and therefore may not proceed if Shareholder approval is not obtained.

Investors should take account of these uncertainties in deciding whether or not to buy or sell the Company’s Shares.

5.7 Project Overview

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Business Model

Upon completion of the Acquisitions, Public Offer, the Pilbara Gold acquisition, Capital Reduction and re-admission of the Company to the Official List, the Company will be a publicly listed junior explorer, holding interests in the speculative mineral exploration Stakewell Project and Tuckanarra Project. Although the Company will be well funded to conduct its stated objectives for the next two years, the Company has no history of earnings, and does not have any producing mining operations. The Company has experienced losses from exploration activities and until such time as the Company carries on mining production activities, it expects to continue to incur losses. It is likely that the Company will require additional funding in the future, and as such the intention is to add Shareholder value and also progressively reduce risks associated with its current or any new mineral projects that may be acquired.

The Company aims to achieve this by progressively transitioning from being a junior explorer to, subject to the results of exploration activities, technical studies and the availability of suitable funding, exploiting the value of mineral projects by undertaking project development, construction and mining activities by:

  • conducting systematic exploration activities on mineral projects, with the aim of discovering a mineral deposit;

  • following discovery, delineating a mineral resource estimate on the mineral deposit;

  • undertaking economic and technical assessments of the projects in line with standard industry practice (for example completion of a scoping study, then a prefeasibility study followed by a definitive feasibility study);

17

  • undertaking project development and construction; and

  • ultimately exploitation of the project through mining operations (which may include toll processing).

As the development of relevant projects progress, the Company may also consider corporate actions that may also provide the opportunity to increase Shareholder value, which may include joint ventures, asset sales (whole or part), strategic partnerships or product off-take arrangements.

The Company also intends to continue identifying, evaluating and, if warranted, acquiring additional resource projects and assets in Australia and/or overseas, if the Board considers that they have the potential to add Shareholder value. The Company will consider acquiring these additional interests by way of direct project acquisition, farm in, joint venture or direct equity in the project owners, and may include minerals or prospectivity for minerals in addition to gold.

5.8 ASX Waivers

The completion of the Acquisitions and the Company’s re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules for readmission of the Company to the Official List is subject to the receipt of a number of approvals, waivers and confirmations.

5.13 Advantages of the Acquisitions

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Acquisitions:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Company is currently suspended from trading on ASX. Completion of the Acquisitions will enable the Company to be reinstated to the Official List with prospective exploration assets and a strong Board and management team, providing the opportunity to increase the value of the Company. Shareholders will be able to share in the growth of the Company and will also be able to buy or sell their Shares on ASX;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • as detailed in Section 5.16, if the Acquisitions do not complete, there is a risk that the Company will be delisted from the ASX under ASX’s policy in Guidance Note 33 on the delisting of long term suspended entities, should a suitable alternative not be identified by 1 May 2021;

==> picture [11 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shareholders will have exposure to the mining exploration industry, in particular the gold sector which has the potential to lead to growth for the Company and generate Shareholder value in the medium to longer terms;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Acquisitions represents a significant opportunity for the Company to increase the scale of its activities which should increase the number and size of the investor pool that may invest in its Shares; and

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Company may be able to raise further funds at higher prices by way of share equity as a result of the Acquisitions and may also be exposed to further equity and/or debt opportunities that it did not have prior to the Acquisitions.

5.14 Disadvantages of the Acquisitions

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Acquisition Resolutions:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • there are inherent risks associated with the change in operations of the Company’s activities, which may not suit their risk profile or be consistent with the objectives of all Shareholders. Key risks which will be faced by the Company and which Shareholders will be exposed to are summarised in Schedule 3;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Acquisitions and the Public Offer will result in the issue of securities as detailed in this Explanatory Memorandum, which will have a dilutionary effect on the holdings of existing Shareholders; and

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Project and proposed new business of the Company may not turn out to be commercially viable.

5.15 Risk Factors

Shareholders should be aware that if the Acquisition Resolutions are approved and Acquisitions are completed, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities which will result in it being subject to various risk factors (in addition to those that are presently applicable). Based on the information available, a non-exclusive list of these risk factors is detailed in Schedule 3.

20

5.16 Plans for the Company if the Acquisition Resolutions are not passed

If the Acquisition Resolutions are not passed and the Acquisitions are not completed, the Company will continue to seek an alternative acquisition across all industries.

Further, pursuant to the ASX’s long term suspended entities policy in ASX Guidance Note 33, ASX will automatically remove from the Official List any entity whose securities have been suspended from trading for a continuous period of two years. As the Company’s securities have been suspended from official quotation since 1 May 2019, in the event the Acquisitions do not proceed, there is a risk it will be removed from the Official List by ASX if it is unable to identify and acquire an alternative suitable project or business prior to 1 May 2021.

5.17 Restricted Securities

Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules prohibits holders of Restricted Securities from disposing of those securities or an interest in those securities, or agreeing to dispose of those securities or an interest in those securities for the relevant restriction periods.

If Shareholders approve all of the Acquisition Resolutions, ASX may, subject to the Company re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules, classify certain Securities issued in connection with the Acquisitions and the relisting of the Company as Restricted Securities and may require those Securities to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date the Securities are reinstated to trading on ASX. During the period which those Securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may affect a Shareholder's ability to dispose of their Shares in a timely manner.

5.18 Directors' interests in the Acquisitions

None of the Company's existing Directors have any interest in the Acquisitions, other than as disclosed in the Notice.

5.19 ASX Disclosure Confirmations

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

6. Resolution 1 – Change to Nature and Scale of Activities

6.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders for a change in nature and scale of the Company's activities via the Acquisitions.

A detailed description of the proposed Acquisitions are outlined in Section 5 above.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Resolution 1 is subject to approval of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

6.2 Listing Rule 11.1

Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules requires Shareholders to approve any significant change in the nature or scale of an ASX listed company's activities. Completion of the Acquisitions will have the effect of changing the nature, and increasing the scale, of the Company's activities as it will result in a transition from oil and gas with limited activities to mineral exploration.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to complete the Acquisitions thereby changing the nature and increasing the scale of its activities.

Where an ASX listed company seeks to change the nature or scale of its activities, it must:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • under Listing Rule 11.1.1, notify ASX of the proposed change;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • under Listing Rule 11.1.2, obtain shareholder approval to undertake the change, if required by ASX; and

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • under Listing Rule 11.1.3, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the Company was applying for admission to the official list of ASX, if required by ASX.

The Company acknowledges that:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Listing Rule 11.1.2 applies in respect of the Acquisitions and that the Company will need to obtain Shareholder approval to undertake the change in nature and scale of activities arising from the Acquisitions. In this regard, the Company has agreed to undertake the Acquisitions, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent (refer to Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(d)) including but not limited to, the obtaining of Shareholder approval; and

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Listing Rule 11.1.3 applies in respect of the Acquisitions and accordingly the Company will need to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. In this regard, the Company proposes to undertake the Public Offer (the subject of Resolution 5) to satisfy the ASX re-compliance.

On the basis that Shareholders approve all of the Resolutions, the Company will seek to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. In accordance with these requirements, the Company will issue a Prospectus.

Trading of Shares is currently suspended and will remain suspended until the Company satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules in accordance with Listing Rule 11.1.3. It is anticipated that the Company's securities will be reinstated to trading on ASX in December 2020. If Shareholders do not approve all of the Acquisition Resolutions, the Acquisitions will not proceed and trading of the Company’s Shares on ASX will remain suspended until the Company identifies and acquires a new undertaking and satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules in accordance with Listing Rule 11.1.3. As noted in Section 5.16, if the Acquisitions do not proceed, there is a risk that the Company will be delisted from ASX on or around 1 May 2021 under ASX’s policy in Guidance Note 33 on the removal from the Official List of long term suspended entities.

Details of the Acquisitions and the proposed changes to the structure and operations of the Company are described in Section 5.

If Resolution 1 (together with the other Acquisition Resolutions) is passed the Company will be able to proceed with the Acquisitions.

22

If Resolution 1 (or the other Acquisition Resolutions) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Acquisitions and the Company will continue to seek an alternative acquisition across all industries. Refer to Section 5.16 for further information.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.3 Directors recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

7. Resolution 2 – Authorise Issue of Vendor Securities

7.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Vendor Securities comprising of:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • 75,000,000 Shares;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • 50,000,000 Class A Vendor Options;

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • 25,000,000 Class B Vendor Options; and

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • 50,000,000 Performance Shares,

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

Resolution 2 is subject to the approval of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1, the Company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

Given the Vendor Securities to be issued under Resolution 2 will exceed the balance of the Company’s 15% placement capacity and none of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is required in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Vendor Securities during the threemonth period after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Vendor Securities to the Vendor.

7.4 Additional Information provided in relation to ASX Guidance Note 19 and Listing Rule 6.1 confirmation

The following information is provided for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of ASX Guidance Note 19 and the Listing Rule 6.1 confirmation received from ASX in relation to the 50,000,000 Performance Shares:

  • (a) the number and parties to be issued the Performance Shares is contained in Section 7.3(a);

  • (b) the Vendor and its nominees described in Section 7.3(a) are not related parties of the Company;

  • (c) the Performance Shares are being issued to the Vendor and its nominees in connection with the Stakewell Acquisition, being a new proposed undertaking by the Company, to acquire an 80% interest in the Stakewell Tenements held by the Vendor. Refer to Section 5.2 for further information;

  • (d) the Stakewell Acquisition was negotiated between the Company and the Vendor on arm's length terms. The Company determined that a significant portion of the value of the Stakewell Project should be attributable to its future success given the Stakewell Project is at an exploration stage. Accordingly, the consideration for the Stakewell Acquisition was structured with:

  • (i) 75% in upfront consideration – cash payment of A$250,000 (subject to adjustments) and 75,000,000 Shares; and

  • (ii) 25% in deferred consideration – 50,000,000 Class A Vendor Options, 25,000,000 Class B Vendor Options, 50,000,000 Performance Shares and a 1% net smelter return royalty.

The Company determined the number of Performance Shares to be issued to the Vendor as being appropriate and equitable given the current and proposed capital structure of the Company, the level of risk involved in achieving the milestone for the Performance Shares and the requirements of ASX Guidance Note 19. The Company also had regard to several other ASX listed companies which are developing projects of a similar scale and nature and based on the Board's industry experience in acquiring and developing exploration projects and the appropriate consideration that should be provided to the Vendors;

  • (e) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Vendor provided the Company with a list of nominees to receive the Performance Shares as described in Section 7.3(a). The Company had no involvement in determining who the Vendor nominated to receive part of the Vendor Securities. The Company understands that the nominees have assisted the Vendor with the Stakewell Project and/or the Stakewell Acquisition. The Company understands that ECT is an entity associated with Mr Emmanuel Correia, who is an associate of Peloton Advisory Pty Limited ( Peloton ), also an advisor to the Company for the Stakewell Acquisition. We understand that TJT is an entity associated with Mr John Correia, who is a cousin of Mr Emmanuel Correia, who is an associate of Peloton;

  • (f) each Performance Share converts into one Share if the relevant milestone is satisfied and the terms and conditions of the Performance Shares is contained in Schedule 4; and

  • (g) the effect on the Company's capital structure if the milestone for the Performance Shares is satisfied and all Performance Shares convert into Shares is as follows:

24

Ordinary Shares
Existing Securities 327,530,455
Issue of Vendor Consideration 75,000,000
Issue of Adviser Consideration 5,000,000
Public Offer (assuming $3.125 million) 125,000,000
Total (after completion of Public Offer and Acquisitions) 532,530,455
Conversation of Performance Shares1 50,000,000
Total (after conversation of Performance Shares) 582,530,455

Note 1: Assumes no Options are converted prior to conversion of the Performance Shares.

7.5 Directors recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

8. Resolution 3 – Creation of a New Class of Shares (Performance Shares)

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to be authorised to issue the Performance Shares as a new class of shares. The Performance Shares are intended to form part of the consideration payable to the Vendor in respect to the Stakewell Acquisition.

Section 246C(5) of the Corporations Act provides that if a company has one class of share and seeks to issue a new class of share, such issue is taken to vary the rights attached to shares already issued.

Section 246B of the Corporations Act and clause 2.3 of the Constitution provide that the rights attaching to a class of shares cannot be varied without:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a meeting of the Shareholders holding Shares in that class; or

  • (b) the written consent of the Shareholders who are entitled to at least 75% of the votes that may be cast in respect of Shares in that class.

Accordingly, the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of the Performance Shares as a new class of shares on the terms set out in Schedule 4 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution.

Resolution 3 is subject to the approval of the other Acquisition Resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

The Directors believe it is desirable to update the Constitution to reflect current corporate practice and to ensure it is in line with the present legislation and regulatory requirements in Australia.

A copy of the New Constitution is available on request from the Company.

Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the repeal of the Constitution and adoption of the New Constitution in accordance with section 136 of the Corporations Act.

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders. Resolution 14 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Schedule 2 – Stakewell Project and Tuckanarra Project Overview

On 4 September 2020, the Company announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire an 80% interest in the high grade Stakewell gold project located in the Meekatharra-Cue region of Western Australia.

On 22 October 2020, the Company announced that it had taken a major step towards its goal of becoming the premier gold exploration company in the Murchison Goldfields, by entering into an agreement to acquire an 80% interest in the high-grade Tuckanarra gold project, directly adjacent to the Company’s previously announced acquisition of the Stakewell gold project.

Highlights of Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects

  • Strategic acquisitions substantially extend Odyssey’s footprint in the Meekatharra-Cue region, with over 25km of strike of highly fertile banded iron formation ( BIF ) and greenstones with extensive gold mining history and outstanding exploration potential.

  • The combined projects have numerous high-grade gold targets based on extensive shallow drilling and mining, as well as successful but limited deeper drilling (1% of drilling is >100m).

  • Historical high-grade gold production of approximately 29,000oz from the Kohinoor mine including 15,750oz at 12.0g/t Au (underground, 1990’s) and 8,050oz at 13.9g/t Au (underground, early 1900’s) and also 5,200oz at 1.5g/t Au (open pit, 1990’s)[1] ;

  • The Tuckanarra goldfields historically produced approximately 27,000oz at an average grade of approximately 49g/t Au in the early 1900s while Metana Minerals produced approximately 95,000oz at an average grade of 2.8g/t Au[2] from a number of small pits between 1988-1994.

  • Historical drilling at the Stakewell Project delivered significant unmined high grade intercepts including:

    • 4m @ 26.6g/t Au (MKR105 from 179m)

    • 2m @ 18.5g/t Au (MKR107 from 178m)

    • 7m @ 21.8g/t Au (MKR067 from 48m)

    • 5m @ 19.7g/t Au (MKR106 from 197m)

    • 4m @ 18.4g/t Au (KRC0021 from 22m);

  • Historical drill intersections (unmined) from the Tuckanarra Project include:

    • 5m @ 156g/t Au (PAC142 from 6m) including 1m @ 776g/t Au from 6m

    • 28m @ 6g/t Au (PRC004 from 35m) including 10m @ 15g/t Au from 35m

    • 7m @ 67g/t Au (92TRC0334 from 43m) including 5m @ 94g/t Au from 43m

    • 3m @ 36g/t Au (PAC086 from 15m)

    • 5m @ 42g/t Au (92TRC0220 from 51m) including 2m @ 102g/t Au from 51m.

  • Significant intercepts to follow up (open along trend) at the Stakewell Project include:

    • 4m @ 17.8g/t Au (MKR116 from 312m)

    • 5m @ 5.3g/t Au (11SWD002 from 259m)

    • 3m @ 7.5g/t Au (MKR113 from 238m)

    • 3m @ 14.9g/t Au (KDDH0001 from 86m); and

  • Each of the four main historical pits at Tuckanarra boasts high-grade mineralisation open along strike and/or at depth. Numerous historical shafts point to additional targets not fully tested with modern exploration.

  • Close proximity to several mills and processing plants indicates potential for toll treating.

  • Both projects ideally located on the Great Northern Highway between Cue and Meekatharra.

Stakewell Project

The Stakewell Project consists of a contiguous group of tenements situated approximately 50km north of Cue and 55km south of Meekatharra; and is approximately 600km north-north east of Perth in the Murchison area of Western Australia. The tenement package comprises one exploration license, three miscellaneous licenses and ten prospecting licenses with an aggregate area of 89km[2] . The Stakewell Project is adjacent to and accessed via the Great Northern Highway which passes through the tenement package. The tenements cover the historical Kohinoor gold mine ( Kohinoor ) which is situated only 1km from the highway and is in close proximity to several mills and processing plants in the area.

The Stakewell Project is considered highly prospective in a region that has experienced significant exploration success and increased corporate activity in recent times. The Company considers the Project to hold significant potential for the discovery of banded iron formation ( BIF ) related lode gold mineralisation in addition to Kohinoor. The mineralisation shares similarities with other Murchison mines in close proximity, including the BIF hosted ore bodies at Mount Magnet which have historically produced over six million ounces of gold.

Tuckanarra Project

The Tuckanarra Project consists of one mining licence, two exploration licences and seven prospecting licences covering a total of 52km[2] located in the prolific Murchison district situated approximately 50km north of Cue and 55km south of Meekatharra; and is approximately 600km north-north east of Perth in the Murchison area of Western Australia.

The strategic acquisitions are a major step for Odyssey to achieve its goal of becoming the premier gold exploration company in the Murchison Goldfields. This historic goldfield still delivers major production from Westgold Resources Limited and Ramelius Resources Limited and has the potential for substantial discoveries utilising modern exploration, as the recent success of Musgrave Minerals Limited and Spectrum Metals Limited highlights.

The acquisitions extend Odyssey’s footprint in the Meekatharra-Cue belt, with over 25km of strike of highly fertile BIF and greenstones, with extensive gold mining history and outstanding exploration potential. Both the Stakewell and Tuckanarra projects have a number of excellent drill targets based on previous mining and drilling which demonstrate high-grade mineralisation continuing at depth and/or along strike.

Work planned to develop the targeting profile for both the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects in the near term will include reassessment and re-processing of historical high resolution magnetics in the area, potential sub audio magnetics ground geophysical surveys, an updated 3D structural targeting model of the region, confirmation of the drill database through onground work and referral to historical company reports, re-interpretation of soil sampling data including potential infill lines; and a target ranking exercise over the area.

Historical Production and Exploration History – Stakewell Project

The Kohinoor mine has recorded three phases of mining since 1905. The first phase from 1905 to 1911 recorded approximately 18,000 tonnes at 13.9g/t Au for 8,050oz. A second phase of mining by Metana Minerals NL from 1987 to 1989, was based on an open pit mined to a depth of 65m and produced 45,000 tonnes at 2.4g/t Au for 3,250oz of high grade ore and 62,000 tonnes at 1.0g/t Au for 1,950oz of low grade material.

The final phase from 1994 to 1995 produced 41,000 tonnes at 12.0g/t Au for 15,750oz from an underground operation mined to a depth of approximately 150m. In addition, the Christmas Hope prospect which is located 5km north of Kohinoor, produced 23 tonnes at 77.3g/t Au in 1907 (Source: Geological Survey of Western Australia’s Minedex database).

Past exploration at the Stakewell Project has included extensive soil sampling with analysis identifying several zones of coherent gold-in-soil anomalism at Kohinoor and the immediate surrounding areas. Of particular interest is patchy gold-insoil occurrences that lie to the north of Kohinoor at the Christmas Hope prospect which, in addition to its previous highgrade production, suggests the potential for blind gold mineralisation, lacking significant exposure at surface (Figure 5). Several air-core, RC and DD programs were undertaken at the Project from the 1980’s to late 2000’s however there has been minimal exploration on the Project since that period. Significantly, of the 2,197 drillholes in the project database, only 127 (6%) are deeper than 50m.

Historical Production and Exploration History – Tuckanarra Project

The Tuckanarra Project area is a well-known historic goldfield dating back to the early 1900’s with numerous smaller workings. During this time production was approximately 27,000 ounces at a grade of approximately 49g/t Au. Production on the existing licenses graded up to 223g/t Au at the Blue Peter Mine.

41

Between 1988 and 1994, Metana Minerals NL ( Metana Minerals ) mined four open pits (Maybelle, Cable, Bollard, Bottle Dump) producing approximately 95,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 2.8g/t Au. The ore was treated at the nearby Reedy’s mining centre. The Metana Minerals mining operations targeted shallow (<80m) oxidised mineralisation. There are numerous remaining intercepts of higher-grade material with mineralisation open at depth below all of the pits.

Anglo Gold Australia Limited ( Anglo ) operated the Tuckanarra project from 2000 to 2002 and explored for large-scale mineralisation, predominantly around the Axial prospect. This area is considered prospective for structurally related gold mineralisation.

The project comes with an extensive drilling and geochemical database with over 2,949 drill holes for 110,231m (average depth 37.4m) and a database of 6,940 soils/rock samples. Only 1% of holes are deeper than 100m. Additionally, there is a detailed airborne magnetic survey over the area which will aid in structural targeting.

Local Geology and Mineralisation

The Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects are within the Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone belt within the north-eastern Murchison domain covering Archean basement rocks, situated within the “Meekatharra structural zone” a major regional, north-east trending shear dominated zone, about 50 to 60km wide, stretching from Meekatharra through the Cue region as far south as Mount Magnet. The major shear zone is dominated by north and northeast trending folds and shears (Figure 3).

Stakewell Project

Outcrop within the Stakewell area includes BIF outcrops as prominent ridges and granitoid subcrop is sometimes present. NNE-trending BIF, mafic volcanics and amphibole-chlorite schist of the Yaloginda Formation underlie a majority of the tenement package. The sequence forms the north western limb of a major regional syncline, which is surrounded by pre and post tectonic granitoids including a recrystallised monzogranite located in the southeast of the area.

Gold mineralisation at the Stakewell Project is hosted within quartz veins, quartz reef and porphyry. It is structurally and metasomatically controlled and is associated with a series of plunging shoots contained within a BIF host, enclosed within the mafic sequence. The lode system is dominated by fine to medium grained quartz-pyrite-pyrrhotite schist. Accessory minerals include chlorite, hornblende, biotite, epidote, chalcopyrite and haematite. Supergene enrichment is a pronounced feature of the gold camp.

The Kohinoor ore body is situated at the intersection of a sequence of BIF and a north-south striking shear zone. The BIFs are typically 1m to 10m thick and are intercalated with mafic schists. Mineralisation within the Kohinoor pit is controlled by rheological and permeability contrasts between the BIF and the mafic volcanic. Furthermore, the mineralisation at Kohinoor is controlled by sulphide deposition within the BIF and mafic volcanics at the footwall contact of the BIF adjacent to shear zones.

Tuckanarra Project

The Tuckanarra greenstone belt comprises a series of mafic and inter-banded mafic and iron formations, with a variable ‐ component of clastic sediments (greywackes and minor shales). The sequence is folded into a south westerly plunging anticline with a well-developed axial planar cleavage and numerous fractures, bedding-parallel faults, and shears. The belt extends northwards to Stakewell and east to the Reedys mining centre.

The Tuckanarra Project area has four open pits, extensive minor gold workings, and prospecting pits principally associated with quartz veins and the mafic and BIF units. Where mineralised veins intersect major competency contrasts such as high magnesium basalt or BIF, veining becomes layer parallel to lithology, resulting in larger deposits such as the Bollard and Cable deposits.

A number of styles of gold mineralisation have been identified in the area including:

  • Mineralised BIFs ± quartz veining (Cable East, Cable Central)

  • Quartz veins ± altered basalts (Cable West, Lucknow, Maybelle, Maybelle North)

  • Gold mineralisation within laterite (Anchor, Bollard Laterite, Drogue Laterite).

Exploration Targets and Planned Exploration – Stakewell Project

Initial targeting at the Stakewell Project will focus on four main identified opportunities:

1. High grade plunge positions which have been identified beneath the Kohinoor Pit and underground workings. Based upon a structural and 3D interpretation of the mineralisation down-dip of the existing workings, the Company considers there are indications of a defined westerly plunge to the mineralisation that is open in at least three positions. Intercepts that are unmined and open along trend include 17m @ 5.2g/t Au (including 4m @ 17.8g/t Au ) in MKR116, 8m @ 8.6g/t Au in MKR108 and 5.2m @ 19.7g/t Au in MKR106;

2. Stacked repetition of the hosting BIF lithologies. Surface mapping and downhole logging indicate the potential for stacked repetition of BIF lithologies that host gold mineralisation. If present, these would allow for additional target positions down plunge and dip of currently defined mineralisation, as well as in the approximately 500m long corridor to the north-east of the pit which has minimal drilling below 50m from surface;

3. The potential fault offset corridor . The trend region to the east of the pit has not been significantly tested as it was previously considered low-priority. This area will be tested for potential fault offset and trend continuation. Drilling near this area in 2011 encountered mineralisation including 10m @ 3.2g/t Au (11SWD002 from 256m) including 5m @ 5.3g/t Au from 259m; and

4. Near - surface and oxide mineralisation . The Project hosts numerous small workings with nearby drilling intercepting gold mineralisation including 7m @ 10.3g/t Au (MKR037 from 30m), 4m @ 5.9g/t Au (KPH037 from 16m) and 28m @ 1.3 g/t Au (SWRC040 from 1m). Areas for future focus will include the Kohinoor Extended, Kohinoor East and Castlemaine Prospects.

Exploration Targets and Planned Exploration – Tuckanarra Project

Initial targeting will focus on opportunities for extensions of known mineralisation around the historic mining pits:

1. Maybelle Pit Extensions – drill defined gold mineralisation to >60m below pit, open at depth and along trend: Drilling undertaken in 2015 by Monument, as well as other explorers in the mid-1990’s indicates significant depth potential to the mineralisation below the shallow Maybelle pit (mined to approximately 40m below surface in the 1990’s). Intercepts open at depth include 10m @ 4.8g/t Au (MYD0100 from 79m); 5m @ 2.2g/t Au (MY0108 from 56m), 7m @ 2.5g/t Au (15MTRC027 from 79m), 1.5m @ 22.1g/t Au (TK0048 from 47m) and 10.3m @ 4.1g/t Au (TKD0003 from 51m).

2. Cable Extension: Very high-grade mineralisation around the Cable/Cable West/Cable East Deposits. Intercepts include 28m @ 6.4g/t Au (PRC004 from 35m including 10m @ 15.1g/t from 35m and 12m @ 2.0g/t Au from 50m), 7m @ 67g/t Au (92TRC0334 from 48m), 3m @ 36.4g/t Au (PAC086 from 15m) and 5m @ 42.3g/t Au (92TRC0220 from 51m). Significant high-grade mineralisation occurs adjacent to the existing open-pit. Mineralisation is open along trend and at depth, with multiple trend targets already identified from the existing historical data set.

3. Bollard – High Grade mineralisation below current pit. High grade intercepts understood to be below the existing pit include 12m @ 6.9g/t Au (TRC0068 from 43m), 25m @ 3.9g/t Au (TRC0137 from 49m), 9m @ 4.8g/t Au (TRC0118 from 78m) and 15m @ 4.6/t Au (TRC0122 from 41m). Mineralisation is interpreted to be open down dip and along trend of current drilling.

4. Bollard South. High Grade intercepts along trend from the Bollard Pit. Intercepts include 8m @ 13g/t Au (TPH0238 from 42m) and 3m @ 9.3g/t Au (from 27m in TPH013). These intercepts are coincident on section and further work is required to determine the mineralised trend/plunge in this area.

5. Bottle Dump. Shallow open pit mined in the 1990’s to a depth of approximately 50m. Previous mining ceased in mineralisation with intercepts including 16m @ 3.8g/t Au (MBRC0035 from 56m) and 18m @ 4.9g/t Au (MBRC0038 from 54m). The deposit is open at depth, with further work required to ascertain the trend potential.

As well as the mineralisation around and below the historic pits, extensive laterite-related gold mineralisation is present near the Anchor, Bollard, and Drogue Prospects including 5m @ 156g/t Au (PAC142 from 6m) including 1m @ 776g/t Au from 6m. In the area between the Bollard and Cable Pits, further exploration is warranted to follow up both high-grade intercepts in fresh rock, as well as near-surface mineralisation associated with lateritic enrichment.

44

Schedule 3 – Risk Factors

Shareholders should be aware that if the proposed Acquisitions are approved, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors are as follows:

Company Specific Risks

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Conditional Acquisitions and Re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules

As part of the Company's change in nature and scale of activities, ASX will require the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. A prospectus will be issued to assist the Company to re-comply with these requirements. It is anticipated that the Shares will remain suspended until completion of the Public Offer, completion of the Acquisitions, recompliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and compliance with any further conditions ASX imposes on such reinstatement. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to satisfy one or more of those requirements and that the Shares will consequently remain suspended from quotation.

Further, pursuant to ASX's long term suspended entities policy in ASX Guidance Note 33, ASX will automatically remove from the Official List any entity whose securities have been suspended from trading for a continuous period of three years. As the Company's securities have been suspended from official quotation since 1 May 2019, in the event that the Acquisitions do not proceed, it will be removed from the Official List by ASX if it is unable to identify and acquire a suitable project or business prior to 1 May 2021. Given the indicative timetable, it is very unlikely that the Company will be able to complete an alternative transaction prior to 1 May 2021.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Contractual and completion risk

The Acquisitions are subject to certain conditions precedent being satisfied or waived. This includes the Company obtaining the Shareholder approvals pursuant to the Resolutions. There can be no assurance that this Shareholder approval will be obtained, in which case the transaction would not proceed. Should the transaction not complete, the monies paid, loaned or advanced by the Company in relation to the transaction may not be refunded.

  • (c)

Tenure, access, grant and transfer of applications

Mining and exploration tenements (assuming all are granted) are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements and/or applications for tenements, or transfer thereof will be approved.

The Stakewell and Tuckanarra Project Tenements are subject to the Mining Act and the Mining Regulations. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the Minister for Mines, the Company’s ability to meet the conditions imposed by relevant authorities including compliance with the Company’s work program requirements which, in turn, is dependent on the Company being sufficiently funded to meet those expenditure requirements. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

Although the Company has no reason to think that the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Project Tenements will not be renewed, there is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed by the relevant granting authority. The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Western Australia and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenement for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.

(d) New Assets

The Company is acquiring the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects to establish a new business. The Company’s ability to generate revenue will depend on the Company being successful in exploring, identifying mineral resources and establishing mining operations in relation to both the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects. Whilst the incoming Executive Directors have extensive industry experience, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in exploring and developing either of the Projects.

(e) The Company has no history of earnings and no production revenues

The Company is a mineral exploration company, has no history of earnings, and does not have any producing mining operations. The Company has experienced losses from exploration activities and until such time as the Company commences mining production activities, it expects to continue to incur losses. No assurance can be given that the Company will identify a mineral deposit which is capable of being exploited economically or which is capable of supporting production activities.

The Company expects to continue to incur losses from exploration activities in the foreseeable future.

(f)

Future capital requirements

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the 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

45

be. There is 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.

(g) New projects and acquisitions

The Company may make acquisitions in the future as part of future growth plans. In this regard, the Directors of the Company 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. Such acquisitions may result in use of the Company’s cash resources and/or the issuance of equity securities, which will dilute shareholdings.

(h) Native Title

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( Native Title Act ) recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on the Company’s operations and future plans.

Native Title can be extinguished by valid grants of land (such as freehold title) or waters to people other than the Native Title holders or by valid use of land or waters. It can also be extinguished if the indigenous group has lost its connection with the relevant land or waters. Native Title is not necessarily extinguished by the grant of mining leases, although a valid mining lease prevails over Native Title to the extent of any inconsistency for the duration of the title.

Tenements granted before 1 January 1994 are valid or validated by the Native Title Act.

For tenements to be validly granted (or renewed) after 1 January 1994, the future act regime established by the Native Title Act must be complied with.

The existence of a Native Title claim is not an indication that Native Title in fact exists on the land covered by the claim, as this is a matter ultimately determined by the Federal Court. The lack of a Native Title claim is not an indication that Native Title does not exist on the land which is not currently the subject of a claim.

Native Title has been determined to exist in the majority of the land the subject of the tenements comprising the Project. The Company’s activities will take priority over Native Title for the duration of the tenements but will give rise to a compensation liability, the value of which will ultimately be determined by the Federal Court if not settled by agreement between the Company and the relevant Native Title body corporate.

The Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements, which require certain due diligence investigations to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of exploration and mining. This due diligence may include, in certain circumstances, the conduct of Aboriginal heritage surveys.

Industry Specific Risks

  • (a) Nature of mineral exploration and mining

The business of mineral exploration, development and production is subject to risk by its nature. The Stakewell and Tuckanarra Project Tenements are at an early stage of exploration and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration, development and mining are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high rewards.

The success of the Company depends, among other things, on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, securing and maintaining title to tenements and consents, successful design, construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and mining activities may also be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems.

There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests owned by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of mineral deposits which are capable of being exploited economically. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited. If such commercial viability is never attained, the Company may seek to transfer its property interests or otherwise realise value, or the Company may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a “going concern”.

Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, metal prices, which fluctuate widely, and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The combination of these factors may result in the Company expending significant resources (financial and otherwise) on tenements without receiving a return. There is no certainty that expenditures made by the Company towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries of an economically viable mineral deposit.

The Company has relied on and may continue to rely on consultants and others for mineral exploration and exploitation expertise. The Company believes that those consultants and others are competent and that they have carried out their work in accordance with internationally recognised industry standards. However, if the work conducted by those consultants or

46

others is ultimately found to be incorrect or inadequate in any material respect, the Company may experience delays or increased costs in exploring or developing its tenements.

(b) Results of studies

Subject to the results of any future exploration and testing programs, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Company’s current project or any new projects. These studies may include scoping studies, prefeasibility studies and bankable feasibility studies.

These studies will be completed within certain parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the relevant project within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Company’s projects or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a scoping study).

Further, even if a study determines the economics of the Company’s projects, there can be no guarantee that the projects will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study, once production commences including but not limited to operating costs, mineral recoveries and commodity prices. In addition, the ability of the Company to complete a study may be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise further funds to complete the study if required.

(c)

Resource and Reserve estimates

Ore reserve and mineral resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on drilling results, past experience with mining properties, knowledge, experience, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Mineral resource and ore reserve estimation is an interpretive process based on available data and interpretations and thus estimations may prove to be inaccurate.

The actual quality and characteristics of ore deposits cannot be known until mining takes place and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop resources. Further, ore reserves are valued based on future costs and future prices and, consequently, the actual ore reserves and mineral resources may differ from those estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect on operations.

Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(d)

Operational risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration or mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages, delays in procuring, or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.

These risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

(e) Mine development

Possible future development of mining operations at the Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects or other tenements applied for or acquired by the Company is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

If the Company commences production on any existing or future projects, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of existing or future projects.

(f)

Environmental risk

The Stakewell and Tuckanarra Projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. The Governments and other authorities that administer and enforce environmental laws and regulations determine these requirements. As with all exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly, if the Company’s activities result in mine development. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws.

47

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

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

There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

(g)

Occupational Health and Safety Risk

The Company is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. However, mining activities have inherent risks and hazards. While the Company provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information and training to all stakeholders through its occupational, health and safety management systems, health and safety incidents may nevertheless occur. Any illness, personal injury, death or damage to property resulting from the Company’s activities may lead to a claim against the Company.

  • (h) COVID-19

The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the current COVID-19 pandemic which is impacting global capital markets and companies abilities to conduct business operations. The Company will seek to monitor and assess its ability to conduct operations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the situation with respect to COVID-19 continues to develop (and various government restrictions may be implemented), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to mitigate any adverse effects of COVID-19 on its operations and planned business activities.

Further, the Company is ultimately exposed to the general economic conditions globally which could have an adverse effect on the operating and financial performance of the Company. A prolonged economic contraction as a result of COVID-19 and/or other factors could impact on the Company’s ability to conduct its operations.

General Risks

  • (a) Securities investments

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment.

Prior to the Offer, there was no public market for the Securities. There is no guarantee that an active trading market in the Securities will develop or that the price of the Securities will increase. The prices at which the Securities trade may be above or below the Offer price and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.

Further, the stock market is prone to price and volume fluctuations. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Securities, regardless of the Company’s operational performance.

(b) Economic risk and share market conditions

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Similarly, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate and the market price of the Securities include, but are not limited to:

  • (i) changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;

  • (ii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world;

  • (iii) movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iv) industrial disputes in Australia and overseas;

  • (v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors or commodities;

  • (vi) financial failure or default by an entity with which the Company may become involved in a contractual relationship; and

  • (vii) natural disasters, social upheaval, war or acts of terrorism.

48

(c)

Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks

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

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, forward selling activities, technological advancement and other macro-economic factors.

International prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian currency, 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.

(d) Dilution

In certain circumstances, the Directors may issue equity securities without any vote or action by Shareholders. If the Company were to issue any equity securities the percentage ownership of Shareholders may be reduced and diluted.

(e) Competition

Like many industries, the resources industry is subject to domestic and global competition. While the Company undertakes all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company has no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors and these activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company’s competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and produce other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

(f)

Reliance on key personnel

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company. It may be difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people, due to the relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

(g)

Litigation risk

Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the Company’s activities. Legal proceedings brought by third parties including but not limited to joint venture partners or employees could negatively impact the Company in the case where the impact of such litigation is greater than or outside the scope of the Company’s insurance. As at the date of this Notice, there are no material legal proceedings affecting the Company and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company.

  • (h) Unforeseen expenses

While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.

(i)

Force Majeure

The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

(j) Insurance

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, insurance of all risks associated with exploration is not always available and, where it is available, the cost may be prohibitively high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company’s needs. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

(k)

Change in regulations and regulatory risk

Any material adverse changes in government policies, legislation or shifts in political attitude in Australia that affect mineral mining and exploration activities, tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidies and environmental issues may affect the viability of a project or the Company. No assurance can be given that amendments to current laws and regulations or new rules and regulations will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could substantially limit or affect the Company’s exploration.

The Company’s exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation,

49

employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, Native Title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.

Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Tenements.

(l) Accounting standards

Changes to any applicable accounting standards or to any assumptions, estimates or judgments applied by management in connection with complex accounting matters may adversely impact the Company’s financial statements, results or condition.

(1) The Options immediately vest if a Change in Control Event occurs in respect of the Shares of the Company.

The Options will expire on that date ( Expiry Date ) which is the earlier of:

  • (a) The Expiry Date referred to in the above table; or

  • (b) in respect of the Options that have not already vested by the Vesting Date referred to in the above table, the date the Employee, Consultant or Director ceases to be engaged as a consultant or ceases to be an Employee, Consultant and/or Director of the Company because of:

  • i. retirement (excluding retirement by rotation as a Director at a meeting of Shareholders where re-elected);

  • ii. removal or termination (other than in the circumstances in item (c) below);

  • iii. voluntary cessation;

  • iv. by mutual agreement (unless the Board resolves otherwise); or

  • (c) in respect of the Options whether vested or unvested as outlined above, the date the Employee, Consultant or Director ceases to be engaged as an employee, consultant and/or a Director of the Company because of dismissal by the Company:

  • (B) convicted of any criminal offence (other than an offence under any road traffic legislation Australia or elsewhere for which a fine or non-custodial penalty is imposed) which in the reasonable opinion of the Board brings the holder or the Company into disrepute,

and thereafter no party shall have any claim against any other party arising under or in respect of the Options.

For the purposes of this item 2, “ Consultant ” means the consultant or Director who was issued or who nominated a party that was issued the Options by the Company in accordance with a consultancy agreement with the Company or as a result of being a Director with the Company.

For the purposes of this item 2 " Change in Control Event " means:

  • (a) the occurrence of:

  • i. the offeror under a takeover offer in respect of all Shares announcing that it has achieved acceptances in respect of 50.1% or more of the Shares; and

  • ii. that takeover bid has become unconditional (except any condition in relation to the cancellation or exercise of the Options); or

4. Notice of Exercise

The Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised. Any notice of exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.

5. Cashless Exercise of Options

  • (b) Subject to item 5(b), the holder may elect to pay the Exercise Price for each Option by setting off the total Exercise Price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise ( Cashless Exercise Facility ). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the holder will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the Exercise Price has been set off.

  • (c) If the holder elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the holder will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as is equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise calculated in accordance with the following formula:

S = O x (MSP - EP) MSP

Where:

S = Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Options

O = Number the Options being exercised

MSP = Market value of the Shares calculated using the volume weighted average of the Shares on ASX for the 5 trading days immediately prior to (and excluding) the date of the Notice of Exercise

EP = Exercise Price

  • (d) If the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (calculated in accordance with item 5(b)) is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.

6. Shares issued on exercise

Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then Shares of the Company.

7. Quotation of Shares on exercise

Subject to admittance to the Official List of the ASX and the ASX Listing Rules, application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.

8. Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise

Within 15 Business Days after the later of the following:

  • (a) receipt of a Notice of Exercise given in accordance with these terms and conditions and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised; and

ii. the Company shall release the holding lock on the Shares on the earlier to occur of:

  • (A) the date that is 12 months from the date of issue of the Shares; or

  • (B) the date the Company issues a disclosure document that qualifies the Shares for trading in accordance with section 708A(11); or

  • (C) the date a transfer of the Shares occurs pursuant to clause 8(b)(iii); and

  • iii. the Shares shall be transferable by the Holder and the holding lock will be lifted provided that:

  • (A) the offer of the Shares for sale does not require disclosure under section 707(3) of the Corporations Act;

  • (B) the transferee warrants for the benefit of the Holder and the Company that they are an exempt investor pursuant to one of the exemptions in section 708 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (C) the transferee of the Shares agrees to the holding lock applying to the Shares following their transfer for the balance of the period in clause 8(b)(ii).

10. Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least ten business days after the issue is announced. This will give the holders of Options the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

11. Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • i. the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the holder of Options had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • ii. no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

12. Adjustment for rights issue

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders there will be no adjustment of the Exercise Price of an Option.

13. Adjustments for reorganisation

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the holders of Options may be varied to comply the ASX Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

14. Adjustment for compliance with ASX Listing Rules

The terms of the Options may be amended from time to time by the issue of a notice from the Company to the Holder setting out the details of such amended terms. Any such amendment may only be made by the Company solely to the extent that it is necessary for the Company to comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

15. Quotation of Options

No application for quotation of the Options will be made by the Company.

16. Options transferable

The Options are transferable provided that the transfer of the Options complies with section 707(3) of the Corporations Act.

17. Lodgement Instructions

Cheques shall be in Australian currency made payable to the Company and crossed "Not Negotiable". The application for shares on exercise of the Options with the appropriate remittance should be lodged at the Company's Registry.

Schedule 7 – Summary of New Constitution

1. Shares

The issue of Shares and Options by the Company is under the control of the Directors, subject to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and any rights attached to any special class of Shares.

2. Preference Shares

The Corporations Act requires certain rights of preference shares to be either set out in the constitution or approved in general meeting by special resolution before preference shares are issued.

The New Constitution sets out a framework of rights for preference share issues from which the Board can determine to issue preference shares, without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval every time an allotment of preference shares is proposed. Schedule 6 to the New Constitution contains the framework as well as specific rights of preference shares as to the repayment of capital, requirements for redemption (if the preference shares are redeemable), participation in surplus assets and profits, voting rights and priority of payment of capital and dividends. Other specific terms, including the dividend amount, the redemption date (if applicable) and redemption amount (if applicable), would be set by the issuing resolution of the Directors.

3. Reductions of Capital

The New Constitution is consistent with the Corporations Act requirements which must be satisfied by the Company in undertaking an alteration of capital.

4. Liens

If the Company issues partly paid Shares and a call made on those shares is unpaid, the Company will have a lien over the shares on which the call is unpaid. The lien may be enforced by a sale of those shares. The powers of the Company in relation to calls, company payments, forfeiture and liens are set out in schedule 2 to the New Constitution.

5. Transfer of Shares

The Company may participate in any clearing and settlement facility provided under the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement & Transfer Corporation Pty Ltd ( ASTC ) Operating Rules. Transfers through ASTC are effected electronically in ASTC's Clearing House Electronic Sub register System ( CHESS ). For the purposes of the Company's participation in the CHESS, the Company may issue holding statements in lieu of share certificates. The Company will not charge any fee for registering a transfer of shares. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of shares in the circumstances permitted or required under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

6. Proportional Takeovers

A proportional takeover bid is one in which the offer or offers only to buy a specified proportion of each Shareholders' shares. The New Constitution provides for Shareholder approval of any proportional takeover bid for the shares. Subject to the Listing Rules and ASTC Operating Rules, the provisions require the Directors to refuse to register any transfer of shares made in acceptance of a proportional takeover offer until the requisite Shareholder approval has been obtained.

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. The proportional takeover provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

At the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

The perceived advantages of including proportional takeover provisions in a constitution are that such provisions may:

  • (i) enhance the bargaining power of Directors in connection with any potential sale of the Company;

  • (ii) improve corporate management by eliminating the possible threat of a hostile takeover through longer term planning;

  • (iii) make it easier for Directors to discharge their fiduciary and statutory duties to the Company and its Shareholders to advise and guide in the event of a proportional bid occurring; and

  • (iv) strengthen the position of Shareholders of the Company in the event of a takeover, assuming the takeover will result in a sharing of wealth between the offeror and Shareholders, as the more cohesive Shareholders are in determining their response the stronger they are. A requirement for approval can force Shareholders to act in a more cohesive manner. Where Shareholders know that a bid will only be successful if a specified majority of Shareholders accept the offer, they have less to fear by not tendering to any offer which they think is too low.

The perceived disadvantages of including proportional takeover provisions in a constitution include the following:

  • (i) a vote on approval of a specific bid suffers from a bias in favour of the incumbent Board;

  • (ii) the provisions are inconsistent with the principle that a share in a public company should be transferable without the consent of other Shareholders; and

58

(iii)

a Shareholder may lack a sufficient financial interest in any particular company to have an incentive to determine whether the proposal is appropriate.

To comply with the Corporations Act, the proportional takeover provisions must be renewed by Shareholders in general meeting at least every 3 years to remain in place.

While the proportional takeover provisions were in effect under the existing Constitution, there were no proportional takeover bids for the Company. Therefore, there has been no example against which to review the advantages or disadvantages of the provisions for the Directors and the Shareholders, respectively, during this period.

The proportional takeover provisions are contained in schedule 5 to the New Constitution.

7. Alterations of share capital

Shares may be converted or cancelled with Shareholder approval and the Company's share capital may be reduced in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

If a reduction of capital occurs by way of a distribution of shares or other securities in another body corporate, Shareholders (i) are deemed to have agreed to be members of and bound by the constitution of that body corporate, (ii) appoint the Company and its directors to execute any transfers to give effect to the distribution of shares or other securities and (iii) any binding instructions or notification given to the Company are deemed to be binding instructions or notifications to the other body corporate. The Company also has the discretion to not distribute the shares or other securities in the other body corporate and instead make a cash payment if the distribution would be illegal, give rise to unmarketable parcels or be unreasonable having regarding to the number, value and/or the legal requirements of distributions to Shareholders in particular overseas jurisdictions.

8. Buy Backs

The Company may buy back shares in itself on terms and at such times determined by the Directors.

9. Disposal of less than a Marketable Parcel

For the sake of avoiding excessive administration costs, the New Constitution contains provisions enabling the Company to procure the disposal of Shares where the Shareholder holds less than a marketable parcel of shares within the meaning of the Listing Rules (being a parcel of shares with a market value of less than $500). To invoke this procedure, the Directors must first give notice to the relevant Shareholder holding less than a marketable parcel of shares, who may then elect not to have his or her shares sold by notifying the Directors.

The provisions relating to unmarketable parcel are contained in schedule 4 to the New Constitution.

10. Variation of class rights

Class rights attaching to a particular class of shares may be varied or cancelled with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares in that class or by a special resolution of the holders of shares in that class.

11. Meetings of Shareholders

The Directors may call a meeting of Shareholders whenever they think fit. Shareholders may call a meeting as provided by the Corporations Act. The New Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of meetings of Shareholders and all Shareholders are entitled to a notice of meeting. Consistent with the Corporations Act, a meeting may be held in two or more places linked together by audio-visual communication devices. A quorum for a meeting of Shareholders is 2 eligible voters.

The Company will hold annual general meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

12. Voting of Shareholders

Resolutions of Shareholders will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands each eligible voter present has one vote. On a poll each eligible Shareholder has one vote for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.

13. Direct Voting

The Directors may determine that Shareholders may cast votes to which they are entitled on any or all of the resolutions (including any special resolution) proposed to be considered at, and specified in the notice convening, a meeting of Shareholders, by direct vote. Direct voting is a mechanism by which Shareholders can vote directly on resolutions which are to be determined by poll. Votes cast by direct vote by a Shareholder are taken to have been cast on the poll as if the Shareholder had cast the votes on the poll at the meeting. In order for direct voting to be available, directors must elect that votes can be cast via direct vote for all or any resolutions and determine the manner appropriate for the casting of direct votes. If such a determination is made by the directors, the notice of meeting will include information on the application of direct voting.

14. Proxies

An eligible Shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the meeting on the Shareholder's behalf. The New Constitution contains provisions specifying the manner of lodgement of proxy instruments. A Shareholder may appoint an individual or corporation to act as its representative.

15. Directors

59

Unless changed by the Company in general meeting, the minimum number of directors is 3 and no maximum number is specified. The Directors and the Company may at any time appoint any person as a Director. Any such Director must retire at the next following annual general meeting of the Company (at which meeting he or she may be eligible for re-election as director). No Director other than the Managing Director may hold office for longer than 3 years without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

16. Powers of Directors

The business of the Company is to be managed by or under the direction of the Directors.

17. Remuneration of Directors

The Company may pay non-executive Directors a maximum of the total amount as determined by the Shareholders in General Meeting and such sum must not be paid by way of commission on, or percentage of, profits or operating revenue.

The remuneration of executive Directors will be subject to the provisions of any contract between each of them and the Company and may be by way of commission on, or percentage of, profits of the Company, but will not be by way of commission on, or percentage of, operating revenue.

18. Execution of documents

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution provides for execution of documents by the Company without the use of the Company's company seal.

19. Dividends

The Directors may fix the amount, the time for payment and the method of payment of a dividend. Subject to any special rights attaching to shares (such as preference shares), dividends will be paid proportionately.

The Company is not required to pay any interest on dividends.

20. Indemnities and insurance

To the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every person who is or has been a Director or Secretary of the Company against a liability incurred by that person in his or her capacity as a Director or secretary. A similar indemnity is provided in respect of legal proceedings. The Company may also pay the premiums on directors' and officers' liability insurance.

21. Restricted Securities

The Company’s constitution complies with Listing Rule 15.12. Certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) are required to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A. Those with less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), the Company will issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements
