Neither ASIC nor ASX takes any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
Application for quotation of the New Securities will be made to ASX within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may quote the New Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
No New Securities will be allotted or issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.
Woomera Mining is an ASX listed company whose securities are granted official quotation by ASX. In preparing this Prospectus, regard has been had to the fact that Woomera Mining is a disclosing entity for the purpose of the Corporations Act and that certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom investors may consult.
Before deciding whether to accept the Offer, you should read and understand the entire Prospectus and, in particular, you should consider the risk factors that could affect Woomera Mining’s performance. You should carefully consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek advice from your professional adviser before deciding to invest. Investing in Woomera Mining involves risks. Refer to the ‘Risk Factors’ in Section 8 for a discussion of certain risk factors that you should consider before deciding to accept the Offer.

Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.
Nature of this Prospectus
The New Securities that will be issued under this Prospectus are continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act). This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows for the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class that has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three (3) months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms transaction specific prospectuses are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the New 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 contains information only to the extent to which it is reasonable for investors and their professional advisers to expect to find the information in it. It does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offer.
This Prospectus provides general information to assist you with your own evaluation of the Company’s exploration assets. This Prospectus is not, and is not intended to be, advice on legal, financial, taxation

The information contained in this Prospectus has been prepared by the Company. The mineral tenements of the Company as described in this Prospectus are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of economic ore deposits. Refer to the ‘Risk Factors’ in Section 8 for more detail.

Specific Disclosures in respect of Mt Venn
Some of the exploration results for the Mt Venn Project have been reported by the former owner, Cazaly Resources Limited, rather than Woomera Mining. Accordingly, some of the exploration results may not conform to the requirements in the JORC Code 2012, and the Company at this time continues to evaluate the exploration work that needs to be completed to report the exploration results in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. WML directs investor’s attention to the following cautionary statement about the Mt Venn Project:
-
(a) some of the early historic exploration results have not been reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012;
-
(b) a Competent Person has not done sufficient work to disclose those exploration results in accordance with the JORC Code 2012;
-
(c) it is possible that following further evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in the prior reported exploration results may be reduced when reported under the JORC Code 2012;
-
(d) that nothing has come to the attention of the Company that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the former owner’s exploration results; but
-
(e) the Company has not independently validated the former owner’s exploration results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing those results.
The Company intends to fund exploration work from existing cash and the proposed capital raising. Mr Gerard Anderson, a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves states that the information in this Prospectus concerning the Mt Venn Project is an accurate representation of the available data and studies for the project.

Mr Anderson is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy who has over forty-three years’ experience in the field of activity being reported. Mr Anderson has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves relating to the reporting of Exploration Results.

1. Overview of the Company
1.1 Woomera Mining Limited
Woomera Mining Limited is an ASX listed exploration company based in Adelaide, South Australia with an extensive mineral tenement portfolio prospective for gold, copper, nickelcopper-cobalt and lithium.
The Woomera Mining tenement package includes tenements prospective for gold and nickelcopper in Western Australia ( Mt Venn Gold Project ), and tenements prospective for Ni-Cu-Co in the Musgrave Province of South Australia ( Musgrave Alcurra-Tieyon Project ).
The Company also has tenements in the Gawler Craton in South Australia which are considered prospective for IOCGU deposits, Ni-Cu-Co deposits, Rare Earth and Precious Metals. Woomera Mining’s tenement portfolio also includes granted tenements and tenement applications in Western Australia including 2 tenements and 1 tenement application in the Pilbara region of WA ( Pilgangoora Lithium Project ), 2 lithium tenements near Ravensthorpe ( Mt Cattlin Lithium Project ), 2 lithium tenements at Lake Cowan and a tenement covering a lithium brine prospect at Lake Dundas in Western Australia.
Woomera’s two principal projects are the Mt Venn Gold Project and the Musgrave AlcurraTieyon Ni-Cu-Co Project.
1.2 Mt Venn Gold Project
The Company completed the acquisition of an 80% interest in the Cazaly Resources Limited (ASX: CAZ or ‘ Cazaly ’) Mt Venn Gold Project on 20 September 2019. The Mt Venn Gold Project is located 125 kms northeast of the township of Laverton in the north eastern goldfields of Western Australia (Figure 1).
The Mt Venn project consists of two granted exploration licences E 38/3111 and E 38/3150 (Figure 2). The tenements which cover approximately 390km[2] occur over some 50 kms of strike of the Mt Venn Greenstone Belt giving Woomera Mining the dominant land position (>90%) over the Belt (Figure 3).

Figure 2. Mt Venn Gold Project tenement map
The Project area lies within the Mount Venn Greenstone Belt which is one of the most easterly major NW/SE striking greenstone belts of the Yilgarn Craton.
Historically little attention was given to gold exploration at Mount Venn due to its remoteness and lack of outcrop. Limited mining of high-grade quartz veins (averaged 54.39g/t Au was reported in the early 1920s (Source : The WA Department of Mines 1923 Annual Report) with only spasmodic mostly base metal exploration occurring over the last 50 years.
More recently, Gold Road Limited’s discovery of the Gruyere gold deposit in September 2009, has demonstrated that these greenstone belts have huge exploration potential. Gruyere’s gold reserves were reported at 93 million tonnes at 1.24 g/t Au for 3.72 million ounces of gold (Source : ASX.GOR Announcement 28 May 2020).
The development of the Gruyere mine has opened up what was once very remote country.
It is rare to secure such a large land position in an area rapidly being realised as a world class gold district. The geological setting of Mt Venn is analogous to the nearby Gruyere gold deposit. Whilst there has been very little systematic gold and base metal exploration at Mount Venn, the work completed to date indicates excellent gold potential including for very high grade gold. The added bonus is the potential for nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation as indicated from airborne electromagnetic surveys that identified numerous conductors. Woomera Mining believes the Mt Venn Gold Project is a particularly exciting opportunity for the Company and will be the main focus of exploration moving forward.
The Mt Venn project tenements cover approximately 50 Kms of a NNW trending greenstone succession consisting of intrusive and extrusive ultramafics, mafic and felsic rocks, pyroclastics and metasediments (Figure 3). The Jutson Lineament extends through the entire strike length of the Project, with subsidiary splays trending through the felsic rocks to the south. Several north-south faults and shears, as well as east-west trending quartz filled fractures, post-date the more regional structures and appear to be associated with known mineralisation.

1.3 Mt Venn Gold Potential
Woomera Mining has assessed the overall potential for economic gold discoveries to be excellent. There are several gold targets that are to be drilled once Heritage Clearances are completed. Chief among the gold targets are Chapman’s Reward, Lang’s Find, and Jutson Rocks. None of these gold targets have previously been systematically drilled (Figure 4). In respect of these targets:
-
(a) Chapman’s Reward – free gold in quartz veins that were the subject of small-scale mining in the 1920s with production of 26.65 ounces of gold from 15 tonnes processed. Rock samples assaying to 201g/t Au ( Source: The WA Department of Mines 1923 Annual Report ).
-
(b) Lang’s Find – free gold in quartz veins within a dolerite host. Rock chips included assays of 208 g/t Au and 165 g/t Au. ( Source: WAMEX Report A064708 ). Adjacent geochemical anomalies have never been drilled.
-
(c) Jutson Rocks - rock chip sampling including 20.5g/t Au, 15.8g/t Au,1.31 g/t Pt and 0.769 g/t Pd ( Source: CAZ ASX Releases 27 Feb 2017, 8 June 2017 )
-
(d) Mt Cumming – a single rock chip sample returned 8.4 g/t Au, 3.2% Cu and 3.9 g/t Ag. ( Source: CAZ ASX Releases 27 Feb 2017, 8 June 2017 ). Adjacent geochemical anomalies have not been drilled.
-
(e) Numerous other gold in soil anomalies have never been drilled.

Woomera conducted an aircore drilling program at Three Bears Prospect in late 2019 which outlined several lower saprolite gold anomalies that require systematic follow-up drilling to test the deeper hypogene gold potential. (Source : WML ASX Release 29 January 2020)
1.4 Nickel and Ni-Cu-Co Potential
Ground and airborne electromagnetic surveys were completed in the northern tenement area including over the Mount Cumming and Mount Cornell ultramafic complexes. A number of late time conductors were identified and interpreted as being potential sulphide sources in the basal contact zones of the mafic/ultramafic intrusions. Note these positions are similar to the structural and stratigraphic setting of major nickel-copper massive sulphide deposits elsewhere in Western Australia.
RC drilling of a number of conductor targets did not intersect sulphides however, several conductors were not drill tested due to a lack of funds. A summary of the opportunities includes:
-
(a) Mt Cumming – 3 Priority 1 Conductors remain to be drilled;
-
(b) Mt Warren – 200m long Conductor not drilled; and
-
(c) Mt Cornell – One Priority 1 Conductor drilled with a single RC drill hole over an EM trend of 750m.

==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Other potential nickel targets include:
-
(a) Trenching at Jutson Rocks returned anomalous nickel values of 890 ppm Ni and 165 ppm Cu and 7,000 ppm Ni and 504 ppm Cu from two separate costeans. No drilling was undertaken to test the hypogene potential. ( Source: CAZ Information Memorandum Feb 2019 )
-
(b) Nickel in soil anomalies yielded >700 ppm Ni and > 420 ppm Cu interpreted as occurring in komatiites and gabbros. ( Source: CAZ Information Memorandum Feb 2019 )
1.5 Base Metal Potential
The Rutters Zinc Prospect lies in felsic volcanics on the margins of the Wartu granite. Drilling intersected widespread and thick low grade zinc including 39m @ 0.23% Zn, 40 @ 0.12% Zn and 13m @ 0.25% Zn. (Source : CAZ ASX Release 27 Feb 2017)
Whilst the zinc anomalism is low grade, it is possible its extensive development coupled with elevated gold, silver, arsenic, copper and lead occurring in felsic volcanics is indicative of potential volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation at depth.
1.6 Successful Application for Exploration Co-Funding Grant of $150,000
Woomera Mining announced on 14 November 2019 that its application for co-funding from the WA Government for its exploration drilling program at Mt Venn was successful.
The co-funded Exploration Drilling Program is the principal program of the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme ( EIS ). The co-funding grant received by Woomera Mining is $150,000. The co-funded drilling program will enable Woomera to undertake planned drilling at the Three Bears Prospect and the high grade gold targets.
1.7
Musgrave Alcurra-Tieyon Ni-Cu-Co Project
Rocks in the Musgrave project area have highly variable magnetic signatures, primarily due to the remanence within the ultramafic/mafic intrusives. Woomera Mining has applied Vector Residual Magnetic Intensity (VRMI) modelling to transform single vector Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) data into its three vector orthogonal components so that the amplitude of the magnetic response can be calculated to produce a value which is insensitive to whether the magnetic response is due to either induced or remanent sources. The positivised values have then be used as input to 3D Magnetic Inversion software to predict the location, shape and susceptibility of the causative bodies.
In 2018/2019 Woomera Mining drilled three of five VRMI/Electromagnetic (EM) targets intersecting anomalous Ni-Cu-Co within magnetite-rich gabbroic rocks.
The drilling at both Healy and Gallagher targets demonstrated that VRMI modelling has successfully identified elevated (but not ore grade) Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation ( Refer ASX Release Woomera Mining Limited June 2019 Quarterly Activities Report 31 July 2019) .
In 2020 the Company intends to drill two high quality drill targets – Cavanagh and O’Mahony.
Cavanagh was identified as a coincident magnetic dipole in the TMI data and an EM conductor. A single historic 28m deep RC drill hole intersected highly anomalous geochemistry ranging
10 July 2020
Page 19
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
with peak Ni (0.33%) and Co (0.30%) with highly anomalous Cu, Cr and Pd. Woomera Mining has modelled the magnetically susceptible body that causes the dipole using 3D Inversion methods and VRMI filters.
The second high quality drill target is O’Mahony which is represented by coincident anomalous geochemistry and EM conductor. A single historic RC drill hole intersected visible primary sulphides (chalcopyrite and pentlandite) at shallow depths.

Notes:
-
(1) The Placement as announced on 8 July 2020 raised $252,000 through the issue of 21,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.012 per share. The net proceeds from the Placement after payment of costs of the Placement are $236,880.
-
(2) In the event that the maximum number of New Shares are issued under the Offers, the Company’s cash and issued capital balances will increase by approximately $1,710,611.
-
(3) The Company will also pay the expenses of the Placement and the Offer of approximately $174,000.
-
(4) The Pro Forma Balance Sheet does not reflect the issue or exercise of any of the New Options, and the postPlacement and Offers position is as at immediately following completion of the Offers.
-
(5) The values in respect of the Placement and the Offers assumes no further Shares or convertible securities are issued prior to the Record Date, and that the Placement and Offers are fully subscribed.
3.6 Effect of the Offers on the control of the Company
If all Eligible Shareholders take up their full Entitlement, then each Eligible Shareholder's percentage ownership interest (and voting power) in the Company will remain the same and there will be no effect on the control of Woomera Mining.
If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up all of their Entitlement, its percentage ownership interest (and voting power) in Woomera Mining will be diluted. The proportional ownership (and voting power) of Ineligible Shareholders will be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to take up New Shares under the Offer.
As the Company does not propose to apply to ASIC for approval of the appointment of a nominee for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act, no person will be permitted to acquire New Shares under the Offers to the extent that such acquisition results in that person holding a relevant interest exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company on a post issue basis.
The current substantial shareholders of Woomera Mining as at the date of this Prospectus (and following the Placement), according to substantial holding notices lodged with the Company, are as follows:
| Substantial Shareholder | No. of Shares | % of current issued Share Capital |
|---|---|---|
| Davan Nominees Pty Ltd | 20,365,863 | 11.12% |
| Houmar Nominees Pty Ltd | 13,703,338 | 7.49% |
| Casada Holdings Pty Ltd A/C> | 11,820,006 | 6.45% |
10 July 2020
Page 29
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:*
| Holder | Holding as at date of Prospectus |
% as at date of Prospectus |
Entitlements under Priority Offer |
% post Offer if Entitlements not taken up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Davan Nominees Pty Ltd |
20,365,863 | 11.12% | 13,577,242 | 5.99% |
| Houmar Nominees Pty Ltd |
13,703,338 | 7.49% | 9,135,558 | 4.03% |
| Casada Holdings Pty Ltd Astill\ Investment A/C> |
11,820,006 | 6.45% | 7,880,004 | 3.48% |
- The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under either the Shortfall Offer or Public Offer.
3.7 Market price of Shares
The highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares for the 6 months up to 9 July 2020 were:
Highest $0.023 on 8 July 2020 Lowest $0.007 on 23 March 2020

5. Shortfall Shares & Public Offer
Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Priority Offer is undersubscribed. If there is any Shortfall, the Shortfall Shares will be allocated to Eligible Shareholders who have applied for Shortfall Shares at the discretion of the Directors.
To the extent any shortfall remains after allocation to Eligible Shareholders who have applied for Shortfall Shares, Woomera Mining will use its best endeavours to place those remaining Shortfall Shares under the Public Offer. Public Offer Shares will only be issued if the Priority Offer and Shortfall Offer are undersubscribed.
The Public Offer is a separate offer made under this Prospectus to both existing Eligible Shareholders and new external investors to the Company, who will be treated equally in the allocation of any Public Offer Shares.
To the extent that it is commercially practicable, and taking into account Woomera Mining’s requirement for funds, the Directors (in consultation with the Underwriter) will endeavour to allot the Shortfall Shares and Public Offer Shares to a spread of Applicants, in order to mitigate any control effects which may arise from issuing Shares to a single or small number of investors. In any event, no Applicant will be permitted to acquire Shares under the Shortfall Offer or Public Offer to the extent that such acquisition would result in that Applicant having a voting power in Woomera Mining in excess of 20% (on a post issue basis).
The Directors, in consultation with the Underwriter, reserve the right to place any Shortfall not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Shortfall Offer at their discretion within three months after the close of the Offer, provided that the issue price is not less than the Offer Price of the New Shares under the Offer, and otherwise in accordance with the Listing Rules.
The Company will not issue Shortfall Shares or Public Offer Shares where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant legislation or law. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Shortfall Shares or Public Offer Shares must consider whether the issue of the Shortfall Shares or Public Offer Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules having regard to their own circumstances.
The Directors reserve the right to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or Public Offer Shares, or to allot a lesser number of Shortfall Shares or Public Offer Shares than applied for. Application monies received but not applied towards subscriptions for Shortfall Shares or Public Offer Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable by cheque after the close of the Offers to the Applicant’s address recorded on the register. No interest will be paid on application monies held and returned.
6. Rights and Liabilities Attaching to New Shares
The New Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

6.3 Dividends
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, the Company may pay dividends as the Directors authorise.
6.4 Meetings and notices

==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
6.6 Transfer of shares
Subject to the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and any other laws and ASX Settlement Operating Rules and ASX Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable.
6.7 Future increases in Capital
The allotment and issue of any Shares is under the control of the Directors.

6.8 Variation of rights
Under the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the approval of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares. If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares unless the terms of issue of the Shares of a class state otherwise, the rights attaching to any class may be varied or abrogated with the approval of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, together with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
7. Rights and Liabilities Attaching to New Options
The New Options entitle the Optionholder to subscribe for Shares on the following terms and conditions:
7.1 Entitlement
Each New Option gives the Optionholder the right to subscribe for one Share. To obtain the right afforded by each Option, the Optionholder must exercise the relevant Options in accordance with the terms and conditions attaching to the Options. Subject to variation in the share capital of the Company, the amount payable by the Optionholder on the exercise of each option shall be $0.03 ( Exercise Price ).
7.2 Exercise
The Options will expire on 30 June 2023 ( Option Expiry Date ), unless exercised earlier pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Options. Any Option not exercised before the Option Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Option Expiry Date.
The Options shall be exercisable at any time on or prior to the Option Expiry Date by the Optionholder providing a notice in writing to the Company and payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds ( Exercise Notice ). Within 10 business days of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Company will:
-
(a) allot and issue such number of Shares in the Company as required by the terms and conditions with reference to the number of Options specified in the Exercise Notice;
-
(b) if required, provide the ASX with a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice or such notice is
10 July 2020
Page 36
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
not effective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all things necessary to ensure that an offer for sale of Shares does not require disclosure to investors pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
7.3 Rank equally
Shares issued on the exercise of the Options will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the time of the exercise. If the Company is admitted to the official list of the ASX on the date of the exercise of the Options, application will be made by the Company to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares that result from the exercise of the relevant Options.
7.4 Rights attaching to Options
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, the number of Options and the Exercise Price will be adjusted accordingly, in a manner that the auditors of the Company advise is fair and reasonable in their option, and in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. Other than for such an adjustment, an Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the Option is capable of exercise.
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options, and Optionholders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders by virtue of the Options. The Company will notify all Optionholders that hold Options capable of exercise prior to the relevant qualifying date for the new issue of capital no less than 10 business days prior to the closing date of that offer, so as to enable those Optionholders to exercise some or all of their Options such that they may then participate in the relevant issue of capital.
7.5 Quotation of the Options
The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the Options. Subject to the quotation requirements being met, the Options will be quoted.
7.6 Compliance with Listing Rules
If, and to the extent, any of the preceding terms and conditions in respect of the Options are inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Listing Rules will prevail in all respects to the extent of the inconsistency.
8. Risk Factors
8.1 Introduction
An investment in the Company carries risks, including those broader risks which affect the mining industry and those more general risks associated with investing in the share market.
This section identifies some of the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Intending Applicants should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before any decision is made to subscribe for Shares.
10 July 2020
Page 37
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
There are numerous risks which could materially and adversely affect the financial and operating performance of the Company, which in turn could impact the value of the Shares. The Directors and management have implemented internal controls and processes to mitigate some of these risks. There are however risks over which the Company, the Directors and management will be unable to exert significant influence.
Any potential investor should be aware that subscribing for Shares involves various risks. The Shares to be issued pursuant to the Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of those Shares.
An investment in Shares of the Company should therefore be considered speculative. The following risk factors in this Section 8 are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. In addition, this section has been prepared without taking into account Applicants' individual financial objectives, financial situation and particular needs. Applicants should seek professional investment advice if they have any queries in relation to making an investment in the Company.
8.2 Specific risks
(a) Exploration and Development
The business of exploration, project development and mining contains risks by its very nature. To prosper, a mining exploration and development company needs to have successful exploration operations and acquisition of reserves; it must be competent in the design and construction of efficient production/processing facilities, and must be competent in its operations and managerial performance and must be proficient in the marketing of product.
There can be no assurance that funds spent on exploration will result in the discovery of an economic resource, and even if an apparently viable deposit or economic resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be viably or commercially exploited.
(b) Operations
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including failures in internal controls and financial fraud. To the extent that such matters may be within the control of the Company, the risks will be addressed through management and supervision controls.
The exploration programs of the Company and project development and mining operations may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These may include adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, plant and equipment, and events involving fire or explosions and the occurrence of other incidents beyond the control of the Company.
(c)
Environmental
The mineral exploration sector operates under Australian Federal and State environmental laws. The Company's operations may require it to use hazardous
10 July 2020
Page 38
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
materials and produce hazardous waste which may be alleged to have an adverse impact on the environment or cause exposure to hazardous materials. Despite efforts on the part of the Company to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, the Company may be subject to litigation as a consequence. This may extend to being the subject of investigation by environmental authorities and incurring clean up obligations. This exposure could delay the timetable of a project and may subject the Company to restrictions and substantial penalties, including fines, damages, clean-up costs and other penalties.
(d) Mineralisation
Mining exploration operations are high risk. Each ore body is unique and the nature of mineralisation, the occurrence and grade of any ore, and its behaviour during mining, cannot be wholly predicted. Estimates of a mineral deposit are not precise calculations, but are based on interpretation and on samples from drilling, which may represent a very small sample of the entire ore body.
(e) Tenements
The Company's interest in tenements and tenement applications situated in South Australia and Western Australia are governed by legislation and are evidenced by the granting of leases and licences by the relevant States.
The tenements and tenement applications will be subject to the Mining Act 1971 (SA) (in the case of the South Australian tenements) and the Mining Act 1978 (WA) (in the case of the Western Australian tenements). The Company will have an obligation to meet conditions that apply to the tenements under the above legislation, including the payment of rent and prescribed annual expenditure commitments.
Despite the Company's intention to be in full compliance with all obligations applicable to the tenements, there can be no guarantee that tenements that are subject to renewal will be renewed or that expenditure commitments and other conditions that apply to the tenements, will be satisfied.
Renewal conditions may be more onerous by requiring for example increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements.
(f) Approvals
The Company is reliant on environmental and other approvals in South Australia and Western Australia to enable it to proceed with the exploration and any development of the Company’s tenements. There is no guarantee that the required approvals will be granted and failure by the Company to obtain the relevant approvals, or any delay in the award or transfer of the approvals, may materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to proceed with the proposed exploration and development operations.
10 July 2020
Page 39
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
(g) Access
There is a substantial level of regulation and restriction on the ability of exploration and mining companies to have access to land in Australia.
Negotiations with both native title holders and landowners/occupiers are generally required before gaining access to land for exploration and mining activities. Further delays in granting access by the native title holders may also occur due to COVID-19 (refer to Section 8.2(r) for more detail). Inability or delays in gaining access may adversely impact on the Company's activities.
The Company may need to enter into compensation and access agreements before gaining access to land.
(h) Native Title
Many of the areas the subject of the Company's tenements or tenement applications are subject in whole or in part to native title determinations, or claims made by native title parties and may contains aboriginal heritage sites. The ability of the Company to undertake exploration or development operations on that tenement may be delayed or prohibited in the event that applicable consents cannot be obtained from the relevant native title parties or aboriginal groups.
(i) Approvals to Develop Mineral Deposits
If the Company discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that it then intends to develop, it will require various approvals, licences and permits before it will be able to mine the deposit. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all required approvals, licences and permits promptly or at all. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the Company's operational and financial performance may be materially adversely affected.
(j) Failure of Studies
Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be carried out, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect of a project. These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive feasibility and bankable feasibility studies. These studies will be undertaken within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the project. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Project or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ from the results of a scoping study).
Even if a study confirms the economic viability of a project, there can be no guarantee that the project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study once production commences.
(k) Additional Expenditure
From time to time there may be a need to undertake expenditure that has not been taken into account in this Prospectus. Although the Company is not presently aware of
10 July 2020
Page 40
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
any additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may have an adverse effect of the current expenditure proposals of the Company and negatively impact the business plan of the Company.
(l) Additional Funding
Although the funds to be raised under the Offers are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of the Company (see the Use of Funds Table in Section 3.1), additional funding may be required by the Company in the event that costs exceed estimates or revenues do not match expectations. For example, additional funding may be required in order to undertake further exploration operations or to acquire complementary assets.
Accordingly, the Company may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Any additional funding may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the Offer Price or may involve restrictive covenants that limit the Company's operations.
There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all and any inability to obtain sufficient funding for the Company's activities and current or future projects may result in the delay or cancellation of those activities or projects.
The Company’s ability to raise capital may also be affected by COVID-19 (refer to Section 8.2(r) for more detail).
(m) Option Exercise Risk
There is a risk that the prevailing market price for the Shares in the Company at the time of the exercise of the New Options may be less than the Exercise Price (refer to Section 7 for more detail), which shall have an effect on the value of the New Options.
The exercise of a New Option, and the allotment and issue of the Share to which that Option relates, may also have taxation consequences depending on each Shareholder’s particular circumstances. Shareholders should seek their own taxation advice before exercising a New Option.
(n) Competition
The mining exploration and development sectors are subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will exercise reasonable due diligence in its business decision making and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company.
(o) Commodity Price and Exchange Rate
The price for minerals will depend on available markets.
To the extent the Company is involved in mineral production the revenue derived through the sale of commodities may expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. The prices of minerals fluctuate widely and
10 July 2020
Page 41
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, such as industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of minerals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events, and currently the effects of COVID-19 (refer to Section 8.2(r) for more detail). Future serious price declines in the market values of minerals could cause the development of, and eventually the commercial production from, the Company's tenements to be rendered uneconomic. Depending on the prices of commodities, the Company could be forced to discontinue production or development and may lose its interest in some of its tenements. There is no assurance that a profitable market of minerals will exist from time to time.
Furthermore, the international price of various commodities is typically denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian dollars, thereby 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 currency markets.
In addition to adversely affecting the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.
(p) Acquisitions
From time to time the Company may undertake acquisitions of additional interests in mining tenements and other assets. The successful implementation of such acquisitions will depend on a range of factors including funding arrangements, geographical issues, staff continuity and compatibility of equipment or infrastructure. If acquisitions are not successfully integrated within the Company's operations, the financial performance of the Company could be adversely affected. At the time of any of such acquisitions the Company may decide that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to fund the acquisition through the issue of further Shares. If this were to occur, it may result in the dilution of the ownership interests of Shareholders.
(q) Changes in Laws and Government Policy
The availability of rights to explore and mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be adversely affected by changes in government policy and laws. The impact of actions by government may affect the Company's activities, including its access to land and infrastructure, compliance with environmental regulations, and exposure to taxation and royalties.
Changing attitudes to environmental land care, cultural heritage and indigenous land rights issues, together with the nature of the political process, provide the possibility of future policy changes. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's exploration plans or its rights and/ or obligations with respect to its tenements.
10 July 2020

Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
(r) COVID-19
At the time of the issue of this Prospectus, the strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (and associated infectious disease referred to as COVID-19) has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation.
COVID-19 is having a widespread and significant effect on global markets, business operation and is materially affecting the ability of many companies to conduct their planned or ongoing activities. The pandemic may delay, disrupt or prevent the Company from undertaking certain projects.
The effect of COVID-19 may also delay, disrupt or prevent the Company’s business partners from providing the Company with necessary goods or services, or accessing the Company’s goods or services, as a result of policies implemented to address the pandemic either internally by the business or externally by a government or regulator.
The Company’s share price and its ability to raise capital may be adversely affected in the short to medium term due to the economic uncertainty and disruption resulting from COVID-19.
(s) No Production Revenues
At present the Company is not generating any revenues from its operations nor has it commenced commercial production on any of its tenements. There can be no assurance that significant additional losses will not occur in the near future or that the Company will be profitable in the future. The Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in subsequent years as additional consultants, personnel and equipment associated with advancing exploration, development and commercial production of the Company's tenements are added. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of ongoing exploration and development, the results of consultants' analyses and recommendations, the rate at which are beyond the Company's control.
The Company expects to continue to incur losses unless and until such time as its tenements enter into commercial production and generate sufficient revenues to fund its continuing operations. The development of the Company's projects will require the commitment of substantial resources to conduct the time-consuming exploration and development activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate any revenues or achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumed levels of expenses will prove to be accurate.
Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of its activities and potential development programmes. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders. The Company is exposed to risks associated with its financial instruments, cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to third parties from time to time. This includes the risk that a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations
10 July 2020
Page 43
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
as they fall due and the risk that market prices may vary which will affect the Company’s financial position and prospects.
Additional funding will be required in the event costs exceed the Company’s estimates and also to effectively implement business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur. If such events occur, additional financing will be required. The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of activities and potential development programmes. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
8.3 General risks
(a) Forecasts
The Directors consider that it is not possible to accurately predict the future revenues or profitability of the Company or whether any revenues or profitability will eventuate. The business of the Company is dependent upon a number of factors and many of these factors are outside the control of the Company. Consequently the Company and the Directors do not make any forecast or representation in relation to the Company’s future financial position or performance.
(b) Economic
General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business activities and potential development programmes, as well as on the ability to fund those activities.
(c) Force majeure
The Company’s business may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including (but not limited to) labour unrest, civil disorder, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(d) Uninsured loss and liability
Exploration for and development of minerals involves hazards and risks that could result in the Company incurring losses and liabilities to third parties. There is a risk that the Company may not be insured against all or any potential losses or liabilities that could arise from its activities. If the Company incurs losses or liabilities that are not covered by its insurance policies, the funds available for its business and activities will be reduced and could create risk for the value of the Company’s assets.
10 July 2020
Page 44
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
(e) Dependence upon outside parties
The Company may pursue a strategy that forms strategic business relationships with other organisations in relation to potential products and services. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract such prospective organisations and to negotiate appropriate terms and conditions with these organisations or that any potential agreements with such organisations will be complied with.
(f) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) the COVID-19 pandemic;
-
(iii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
(iv) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vii) terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and mining stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return to Shareholders arising from the Offer or any other event or occurrence.
(g) Reliance on key personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially upon senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment or if one or more of the Directors leaves the Board.
(h) Government regulation risk
The Company’s tenements and activities may be subject to extensive regulation by local, state and federal governments in relation to exploration, development, production, exports, taxes and royalties, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and rehabilitation of the environment, mine reclamation, mine safety, toxic and radioactive substances, native title and other matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations will increase the costs of exploring, drilling, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other production facilities. There is a risk that approvals required for exploration and development programs and mining
10 July 2020
Page 45
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
operations may not be forthcoming, either at all or in a timely manner, or that they may not be able to be obtained on acceptable terms. A failure to obtain any approval would mean that the ability to participate in or develop any project, or possibly acquire any project, may be limited or restricted either in part or absolutely. There can be no assurance that future government policy will not change, and this may adversely affect the long-term prospects of the Company. In addition, future changes in governments, regulations and policies may have an adverse impact on the Company.
(i) Investment speculative
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 performance of the Company and the value of the New Securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the New 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 New Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
9. Material Contracts
9.1 Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriter has agreed to underwrite all Shortfall Shares in accordance with the agreement to fully underwrite the Offer dated 7 July 2020 ( Underwriting Agreement ). The key terms of the Underwriting Agreement are as follows:
-
(a) ( consideration ) the Underwriter will be paid an underwriting fee of 6% on the amount underwritten by the Underwriter and, subject to Shareholder approval, will be issued with a maximum of 10,000,000 Broker Options.

(c) ( indemnity ) the Company has (subject to certain limitations, including where the loss arises through the fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Underwriter or contravention of the Corporations Act) agreed to indemnify the Underwriter, its officers, employees, advisers and related bodies corporate, and the officers, employees and advisers of any of its related bodies corporate against losses suffered or incurred in connection with the Offer;
-
(d) ( termination rights ) the Underwriter may (in certain circumstances, including having regard to the materiality of the relevant event) terminate the Underwriting Agreement and be released from their obligations under it on the occurrence of certain events which are typical for an underwriting agreement, including (but not limited to) where:
10 July 2020
Page 46
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
(i) ( ASX/S&P 200 Index fall ) the ASX/S&P 200 Index is at a level which is 85% or less than the level at the close of ASX trading on the date of the Underwriting Agreement for a prescribed period;
-
(ii) ( Company Share Price ) the share price of the Company as shown on the ASX is at a level which is 60% or less than the issue price of the Shares for a prescribed period;
-
(iii) ( Change in law ) a change of law occurs which does or is likely to prohibit, restrict or adversely regulate the issue of Shares or materially reduces the level or likely level of valid applications under the Offer;
-
(iv) ( Breach of significant contracts ) a significant or material contract referred to in the Offer documents is, without the prior consent of the Underwriter, breached, terminated, altered or voided;
-
(v) ( Listing ) the Company ceases to be admitted to the Official List or the Company's ordinary shares are suspended from Quotation;
-
(vi) ( Indictable offence ) an officer of the Company or a Related Body Corporate is charged with an indictable offence relating to a financial or corporate matter;
-
(vii) ( Insolvency event ) an insolvency event occurs with respect to the Company or Related Body Corporate; and
-
(viii) ( Disruption in financial markets ) there is a disruption to the Australian financial market, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriter, impractical to promote the Offer or to enforce contracts to issue and allot the New Shares.
9.2 Related party disclosure
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to act as the underwriter to the Offers. In consideration of these services, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter the fees set out in Section 9.2(a). Mr Mark Lindh is a director of the Underwriter and he is also a son of the Company’s non-executive director, Mr David Lindh. Consequently, Mr David Lindh is a related party of the Underwriter.
10. Additional Information
10.1 Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a ‘disclosing entity’ (as defined in 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
10 July 2020
Page 47
Prospectus
==> picture [119 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
general information in relation to all the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospectus of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
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 ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of 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 of the Company most recently lodged with ASIC before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with 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 after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.
Copies of all documents lodged with ASIC 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 ASIC are set out in the table below:
