Investment Overview (continued)
KEY RISKS
Status of Tenements
mineral exploration, development and mining are high risk enterprises and only occasionally provide high rewards. potential investors should consider an investment in the company as speculative.
The company aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures.
some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which the company can effectively manage them is limited. some of the key risks associated with an investment in the company are summarised in the following table. This list of risks is not exhaustive of the risks faced by the company or by investors in the company. shareholders should refer to the full details of the risks tabled below are set out in section 9 of this prospectus before making a decision to subscribe for shares under this prospectus. The occurrence of any of the risks or events outlined below could have a materially adverse effect on the company’s operations and, in turn, the price at which its shares trade on asX.
Dilution Risk
set out below are specific risks that the company is exposed to. further risks associated with an investment in the company are outlined in section 9.
Risk Area Risks
Contract Risk The company’s primary asset is its proposed acquisition of the Beete gold project and peninsula gold project held by red field. The company is reliant on red field complying with the terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement and the conditions attaching to the Tenements Limited History (as applicable). should red field fail to comply with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the 9 company’s interest in the Beete gold project and the peninsula gold project may be adversely affected.
The Beete gold project comprises one granted prospecting licence, p63/1646. This prospecting licence expires on 8 July 2013. The peninsula gold project comprises one granted prospecting licence, p63/1694. This prospecting licence expires on 15 July 2013.
The company intends to renew the licences when applicable, however there is no guarantee that the licences will in fact be renewed beyond their current expiry date.
in addition, the company has applied for exploration licence e09/1899. There is no guarantee that this licence will be granted. if exploration licence application e09/1899 was not to be granted, the company would be unable to explore the land covered by this licence for minerals.
on completion of the offer, there will be 20,000,000 partly paid shares on issue. if these partly paid shares are converted into shares there will be a dilution so that the existing shareholders will hold 50.37% (based on the minimum raising under this prospectus) of the outstanding issued shares. each partly paid shares is currently paid up to $0.01 and will require the payment of a further $0.19 in order to become a fully paid share.
The company was incorporated on 25 January 2011 and its operational and financial historical performance is limited. no assurances can be given that the company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of the Tenements. until the company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

Investment Overview (continued)
Native Title Risks The Tenements are at risk of being challenged or impugned and may be subject to native title claims. There is currently a registered native title claim over prospecting licences p63/1694 and p63/1646.
Where native title rights do exist, the ability of the company to gain access to the Tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.
please refer to the solicitor’s report on Tenements in section 8 of this prospectus for further details. Exploration The Tenements are at various stages Success of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. notwithstanding the experience, knowledge and careful evaluation a company brings to an exploration of the Tenements, there is no assurance that recoverable mineral resources will be identified. even if identified, other factors such as technical difficulties, geological conditions, adverse changes in government policy or legislation or lack of access to sufficient funding may mean that the resource is not economically recoverable or may otherwise preclude the company from successfully exploiting the resource.
The exploration costs of the company will be based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the company’s viability.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The company is in the early stages of exploring the land the subject of the Tenements and is in a startup phase, having been recently incorporated to enter into agreements to acquire the Tenements and proceed with this exploration. Therefore, the company’s operational and financial historical performance is limited.
as a result, the company is not in a position to disclose any key financial ratios other than its balance sheet which is set out in the investigating accountant’s report in section 7. investors should read the investigating accountant’s report in full.
The company’s start up funding will be generated from the initial public offering of shares pursuant to this prospectus. The company expects to raise further funding from the issue of securities in the future. if the company’s proposed exploration is successful and the company chooses to develop its projects then the company may also consider debt funding.

Company and Project Overview
4.1 COMPANY OVERVIEW
The company was incorporated on 25 January 2011.
on or about 9 may 2011, the company entered into an acquisition agreement with red field giving the company the right to acquire 100% of the Beete gold project and the peninsula gold project located in Western australia.
The company intends to engage suitable qualified consultants and contractors to complete its proposed exploration programs at the Beete gold project and the peninsula gold project whilst concurrently pursuing new mineral resource project opportunities across other geographies and commodities.
- 4.2 OVERVIEW AND LOCATION OF PENINSULA AND BEETE GOLD PROJECTS
==> picture [221 x 367] intentionally omitted <==
The peninsula gold project is located approximately 25 kilometres northeast of the norseman town site. access is attained by travelling from the town approximately 14 kilometres east along the eyre highway and then approximately 32 kilometres north-west along bush tracks. access to the Beete gold project is attained by travelling from norseman approximately 50 kilometres south along the eyre highway.
The norseman area lies at the southern extent of the norseman-Wiluna greenstone Belt of the eastern goldfields province of the yilgarn Block, Western australia. gold was first discovered at norseman in 1894 following discoveries at dundas, 22 km to the south in 1892. The majority of production in the region has come from the mararoa-crown (main field) and north royal reefs.
The oldest unit within the norseman area is the penneshaw formation. The western part of this unit is dominated by amphibolites with minor sedimentary and felsic rocks, whereas the eastern part comprises intercalated amphibolites and highly deformed felsic lithologies. The overlying noganyer formation consists of sedimentary iron formations, siltstones and sandstones, and minor carbonaceous shale and is in turn overlain by the Woolyeenyer formation. The Woolyeenyer formation is dominated by mafic volcanic rocks with minor conformable ultramafic units and sedimentary bands. These rocks are intruded by mafic dykes with a dominant north-northeast to north-northwest trend that are interpreted to be syn-volcanic.
4.3 OVERVIEW AND LOCATION OF CRAWFORD PROJECT
The crawford project is located in the crawford Belt of the gascoyne province, 190km east-north east of carnarvon, Western australia. The project area lies on the mt sandiman 1:100,000 map sheet and the Kennedy range 1:250,000 map sheet (sg50-01).
The main access to the area is via the Williamburymt sandiman road. Various station tracks occur across the project area. a grid cut by crae provides across the crawford project area.

4.4 FURTHER INFORMATION
further information on the peninsula gold project, Beete gold project and the crawford project is set out in the independent geologist’s report in section 6 of this prospectus.
4.5 OTHER PROJECTS
in addition to acquiring 100% of the Beete gold project and the peninsula gold project (and seeking the grant of the exploration licence over the crawford project), the company intends to continue to actively pursue new projects in the resources sector, both in australia and overseas, by way of acquisition or investment. These projects may include other types of minerals, including copper and gold, located in countries other than australia including, for example, south africa.
Figure 3: Crawford Project Location Plan
The crawford project is underlain by proterozoic metamorphic rocks of the morrissey metamorphic suite. The project is centred on an ese striking belt of biotite-chlorite-white mica schist that also include garnet, staurolite, andalusite, tourmaline and magnetite prophroblasts at various locations.
mineralisation occurs in a system of WnW-ese trending quartzite and tourmalinite veins, concordant with the foliation of the schists. These veins are thought to be derived from the minnie creek Batholith during a late phase of orogeny. The association of the veins with the nick Belt plutons is unclear, but from limited outcrop evidence it appears that they actually intrude the granite. some of these veins form prominent gossanous ridges. most of the veins display leached cavities and limonitic boxwork textures.

-
(a) maintain and increase shareholder value;
-
(b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the company’s conduct and activities; and
-
(c) ensure compliance with the company’s legal and regulatory objectives.

-
(a) the Board is to comprise directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the company and its business; and
-
(b) the principal criterion for the appointment of new directors is their ability to add value to the company and its business.
no formal nomination committee or procedures have been adopted for the identification, appointment and review of the Board membership, but an informal assessment process, facilitated by the chairman in consultation with the company’s professional advisors, has been committed to by the Board.
5.2.3 INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
subject to the chairman’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the directors, at the company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

The total maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is the subject of a shareholder resolution in accordance with the company’s constitution, the corporations act and the asX listing rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the company of the respective contributions by each non-executive director. The current limit, which may only be varied by shareholders in general meeting, is an aggregate amount of $250,000 per annum.

INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT ON THE MINERAL EXPLORATION PROPERTIES OF TERRANOVA MINERALS LTD
10 June 2011
The directors Terranova minerals ltd lvl 8, 225 st georges Tce perth Wa 6000
dear sirs,
Bm geological services perth (“Bmgs”) has been commissioned by Terranova minerals (“Terranova”) to provide an Independent Geologist’s Report (report) on the peninsula gold and Beete gold projects located in the eastern goldfields and the crawford copper-Bismuth project located in the gascoyne mineral field.
This Independent Geologist’s Report is to be included in the prospectus to be lodged with the australian securities and investments commission (asic). The prospectus will offer 20,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share (the “prospectus”), to raise a total of $4,000,000 (before costs associated with the issue). a further $500,000 can be raised through over subscriptions to the offer at an issue price of $0.20 per share under the prospectus for a total of 22,500,000 shares.
The mineral assets comprise two granted prospecting licences and an exploration licence application for a total area of 22 square kilometres. The tenements are held wholly by Terranova.
The objectives of this report are to provide an overview of the geological setting of Terranova’s project area and the associated mineralisation, outline the recent and historical exploration work undertaken in the region and comment on the exploration potential of the project.
Terranova has provided Bmgs with a range of geophysical images, mapping, historical drilling, historical geochemistry and historical reports. Based on Bmgs’s assessment of Terranova’s projects it is our opinion that the conceptual exploration model proposed by Terranova is valid and worthy of further investigation. Bmgs has considered the exploration schedules, studies and exploration programmes proposed by Terranova and considers them to be reasonable and appropriate to progress the project. however, all exploration projects are subject to the risk of impact from unforseen future issues and events beyond the control of the company and Terranova’s projects are not exceptions.
Bmgs has prepared this report upon the understanding that the minerals licences are currently in good legal standing, and has not independently verified Terranova’s legal standing over its tenements. Bmgs is not qualified to make statements in this regard and has relied upon information provided by Terranova.
Bmgs has endeavoured, by making reasonable enquiry of Terranova, to ensure that all material information in the possession of Terranova has been fully disclosed to Bmgs. however, Bmgs has not carried out any type of audit of the records of Terranova to verify that all material documentation has been provided.

Independent Geologist’s Report (continued)
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Purpose
Bmgs has prepared this independent geologist’s report (igr) on the mineral assets of Terranova minerals (Terranova) for the purpose of raising funds by means of an initial public offering (ipo). This report represents a competent person’s review and independent assessment of the geology, exploration data, and potential mineralisation at the peninsula gold, Beete gold and crawford copper-Bismuth projects, Western australia. it is the understanding of Bmgs that this report will be included in a prospectus to be lodged with the australian securities and investment commission (asic) for a proposed listing on the australian securities exchange (asX). The purpose of the admission document is to offer for subscription a maximum of 20 million ordinary shares at an issue price of a$0.20 to raise up to $4million. a further $500,000 can be raised through over subscriptions of the offer at an issue price of $0.20 per share under the prospectus for a total of 22,500,000 shares.
B. Location and Tenure
Terranova’s mineral assets include the peninsula gold project (p63/1694), Beete gold project (p63/1646) and crawford copper-Bismuth project (application: e09/1899).
The peninsula and Beete gold projects are located in the southern extent of the eastern goldfields region of Western australia, in close proximity to the town of norseman.
==> picture [204 x 345] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: Asset Location Plan
D. Historical Workings
The crawford project covers a total land area of 20km2 is located in the crawford Belt of the gascoyne province, 190km east-north east of carnarvon, Western australia.
C. Geology Setting and Mineralisation
The projects cover archaean and proterozoic terranes prospective for gold (peninsula and Beete) and base metals (crawford).
gold targets at peninsula and Beete are typical of the geological setting, being lode hosted mesothermal deposits.
Base metal prospectivity at crawford’s is related to late stage, volatile rich fluids associated with granitoid emplacement. These fluids mineralise the dominantly sedimentary country rock with the granitoid suite of ‘mineralogically incompatible’ metals, forming exotic ore mineral assemblages.
small scale open cut and underground mining has been undertaken at the peninsula gold project. a trial open pit mining operation yielding a total of 424 tonnes of ore was treated at a grade of 2.14 g/t au. a decline was developed by central norseman gold corporation limited (cngc) at the southern end of the project. a total of 495 tonnes averaging 1.62g/t au was mined by means of this infrastructure.
at Beete, gold was produced during the years of 19581965, 1968, 1974 and 1976. production records are not available for 1970 to 1974. subsequent to 1974 a total of 2,816 tonnes of ore averaging 24.8g/t au was mined for more than 2,300 ounces.

Independent Geologist’s Report (continued)
E. Previous Exploration
central norseman gold corporation (“cngc”) has conducted a significant amount of on ground exploration at peninsula, including a total of 44 rotary percussion reverse circulation and diamond drill holes for 3,695m of drilling.
during 1979 and 1980 cngc established a grid over the Beete project, cut and sampled several costeans, performed a resistivity survey over a portion of the area, flew aerial magnetics and drilled a single percussion hole.
J & l morton in 1992 to 1993 conducted surveying, mapping and sampling. geological mapping was conducted in the shaft, the main levels and on the surface. sampling was done in underground openings at 120 locations. hangingwall, “reef” and footwall were differentiated, resulting in 324 samples. 24 surface samples were taken mostly of quartz from costeans.
historically, exploration in the crawford’s region has been conducted by White & White (1991), cra ltd (1993), pasminco (1994) and matlock (1995). activities undertaken include stream sediment sampling, airborne magnetic / radiometrics, ip survey, mapping, petrological and magnetic susceptibility studies and soil sampling.
F. Exploration Targets
Targets at peninsula and Beete are primarily extensional to known gold occurrences. effectively collating and querying the data should provide the potential to unlock mineralisation controls and deduce theories for resource development.
The crawford project represents a poly metallic exploration target which has been subject to limited modern systematic exploration.

III. PENINSULA AND BEETE GOLD PROJECTS
A. Location and Access
==> picture [221 x 367] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Peninsula and Beele Projects Location Plan
The peninsula gold project is located approximately 25 kilometres northeast of the norseman town site. access is attained by travelling from the town approximately 14 kilometres east along the eyre highway and then approximately 32 kilometres north-west along bush tracks.
B. Vegetation and Climate
Vegetation in the norseman region varies from open eucalypt woodland to a dense scrub (especially to the southern extents). it is composed of various species of eucalyptus, acacia, casuarina, melaleuca and saltbush (atriplex) and blue bush (Kochia). open grassland with spinifex (Triodia) also occurs in the southern extent of the region.
The average annual rainfall in the norseman region averages 300mm. rainfall predominantly occurs in winter periods, summer thunderstorms can also contribute to the precipitation in the region. The level of evaporation is well in excess of the level of annual precipitation. at norseman the hottest month is January with an average maximum of 33 degrees celsius.
C. Geology Setting and Mineralisation
1. Regional Geology
The norseman area lies at the southern extent of the norseman-Wiluna greenstone Belt of the eastern goldfields province of the yilgarn Block, Western australia. gold was first discovered at norseman in 1894 following discoveries at dundas, 22 km to the south in 1892. The majority of production in the region has come from the mararoa-crown (main field) and north royal reefs and totals in excess of 5.5 million ounces produced.
The oldest unit within the norseman area is the penneshaw formation. The western part of this unit is dominated by amphibolites with minor sedimentary and felsic rocks, whereas the eastern part comprises intercalated amphibolites and highly deformed felsic lithologies. The overlying noganyer formation consists of sedimentary iron formations, siltstones and sandstones, and minor carbonaceous shale and is in turn overlain by the Woolyeenyer formation. The Woolyeenyer formation is dominated by mafic volcanic rocks with minor conformable ultramafic units and sedimentary bands. These rocks are intruded by mafic dykes with a dominant north-northeast to north-northwest trend that are interpreted to be syn-volcanic.
The Woolyeenyer formation is unconformably overlain by sedimentary and felsic volcanic to volcaniclastic rocks of the mt Kirk formation which is intruded by thick, differentiated mafic sills. The contact between these units is marked by the regionally extensive abbotshall chert.
intrusive lithologies in the norseman region include:
-
¬ The Buldania granite that intrudes the penneshaw formation
-
¬ The pioneer granite and similarly poorly exposed domal granites that intrude the sequence along the western margin of the greenstone belt
-
¬ felsic porphyry to granitoid dykes that intrude all units and predate mineralisation
-
¬ proterozoic mafic dykes that occupy a yilgarnwide set of linear brittle fractures

Independent Geologist’s Report (continued)
The rocks of the norseman area can be broadly correlated with the stratigraphy of the Kalgoorlie-Kambalda region. Woolyeenyer formation mafic volcanic rocks, internally separated stratigraphically by the informally named Talbot island ultramafic unit, can be correlated with the lower basalt-komatiite-upper basalt sequence of the KalgoorlieKambalda region. The sediment-dominated mt Kirk formation can similarly be correlated with the Black flag Beds.
The structural/tectonic history of the norseman area involved at least two phases of extension that were followed by regional shortening episodes.
metamorphic grade in the greenstone sequence at norseman varies from upper greenschist facies within the central part of the greenstone belt, around lake cowan, to middle amphibolites facies to the south where the greenstone sequence is highly attenuated between granite intrusions. alteration assemblages associated with gold mineralisation vary with the metamorphic grade of host lithologies. ductile deformation of gold bearing quartz veins and alteration haloes implies that norseman mineralisation formed pre or syn-deformation and high temperatures.
2. Project Geology
a) Peninsula Gold Project
The geology of the tenement area predominantly consists of mafic komattitic basalts and ultramafic lithologies with flow tops identifiable in a number of localities. interbedded within these lithologies are bands of tuffaceous felsic sediments and cherts as well as carbonaceous shales and pyritic sediments.
This sequence is bounded to the east and west by acid volcaniclastic extrusives, greywackes, shales and conglomerates. regionally the project area lies within the fold closure of a gently north plunging anticline. The strike of the rock sequence is approximately north-south with steep easterly dips.
b) Beete Gold Project
lithologies of the project comprise of east dipping archean metamorphosed tuffs, sediments and greenstones including gabbro, basalt and ultramafics. strike is slightly east of north. The Beete sequence is regarded as being an extension of norseman rocks. younger granites and pegmatites extensively intrude greenstones to the east.
3. Mineralisation
gold won from the norseman region has principally been from narrow, generally north-south striking, east dipping quartz veins hosted by biotite altered and sheared mafic and ultramafic lithologies of the Woolyeenyer formation. minor mineralisation occurs as sulphidation systems within the upper banded iron units of the noganyer formation.
The dominant control on gold mineralisation in the norseman region is large north striking shear zones and tensional veins linking the north-south structures. Within the main shear zones and tensional veins, mineralisation can occur as numerous surfaces that are variably deformed.
a) Peninsula Gold Project
==> picture [221 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: South Decline Portal - Peninsula Gold Project
mineralisation at peninsula is associated with north-south trending quartz veins which dip at angles of 60 to 80 degrees to the east. a major quartz reef extends for the length of the tenement and has been previously worked in the late 1800’s and intermittently throughout the 1900’s. along the strike within the project area a total of five shafts have been sunk. geologically the reef system becomes more complex towards the north. at the north end of the tenement the main reef appears to have been faulted with sinistral displacement of the northern block. The geology is made additionally complicated by drag folding associated with ductile deformation.

Independent Geologist’s Report (continued)
historical records state that up until 1898 “195 metres of driving had been completed and that two chutes of stone were passed through, one being 30 metres and the other 21 metres in extent. The larger shute dips north gently and thus extends towards the centre of the property. in the drives (at the 47 metre level) the quartz was very rich but the stopes above the level have proved the gold to be very irregularly distributed through the reef and rock accompanying it.” (norseman directory)
b) Beete Gold Project
==> picture [221 x 166] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: Eldridge Mine inclined Shaft at the Beete Gold Project
gold mineralisation is hosted within a narrow quartz vein and occasionally within the adjacent hanging and / or footwall shear. a fairly persistent milky quartz vein which occurs below the mineralised quartz vein provides a useful marker horizon. The veins conform closely to the attitude of the host lithologies. considerable local variations of dip occur within the mineralised area.
D. Historical Workings
1. Peninsula Gold Project
small scale open cut and underground mining has been undertaken at the peninsula gold project. a trial open pit mining operation yielding a total of 424 tonnes of ore was treated at a grade of 2.14 g/t au. a decline was developed by central norseman gold corporation limited (cngc) at the southern end of the project. a total of 495 tonnes averaging 1.62g/t au was mined by means of this infrastructure.
==> picture [206 x 232] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Peninsula Mine Cross SectIon
underground mining was halted due to the erratic distribution of gold mineralisation and a lack of understanding of the controls on mineralisation. it has been described by more recent workers that “gold mineralisation occurs in sheet like plunging shoots”.
The “southern decline” was initiated in 1984 following a feasibility study by australis mining nl, to commence development on mineralisation. mineralisation had been previously delineated by cngc in 1982.

2. Beete Gold Project
gold was first discovered at the Beete gold project by prospector h. eldridge in 1958. gold was produced during the years of 1958-1965, 1968, 1974 and 1976. production records are not available for 1970 to 1974. subsequent to 1974 a total of 2,816 tonnes of ore averaging 24.8g/t au was mined for more than 2,300 ounces.
==> picture [220 x 166] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6: Historic Stope at Eldridge Mine (Beete Gold Project)
mining ceased at the southern end of the underground workings where mineralisation widths became untenable. sampling has indicated high grade material on no. 3 level. evidence throughout the mine suggests that variable widths of mineralisation occur over short distances, creating potential for extra resource inventories within close proximities of known terminations of lode. The structural controls on lode widths have not been fully appreciated by previous owners and may provide upside for future work. mining appears to have ceased at the northern end of the underground workings, also due to narrowing and anastomosing mineralisation.
it can be seen from historical workings in figure 6 that stoping activities broke through to surface.
E. Previous Exploration
1. Peninsula Gold Project
cngc has conducted a significant amount of on ground exploration including a total of 44 rotary percussion, reverse circulation and diamond drill holes for 3,695m of drilling. a decline was developed in the south of the project area in order to exploit this mineralisation. in 1984 australis mining established a decline to the north in order to exploit mineralisation to the north of the main shaft.

2. Beete Gold Project
prior to 1989 it was generally accepted that the project area was underlain by proterozoic lithologies of the albany-fraser province. Between 1989-93, studies conducted by gsWa (formerly W.a. geological survey) and agso (australian geological survey organisation) reinterpreted the area to be an extension of the archean yilgarn craton. This reinterpretation determined that magnetic signatures of rocks within the project area were common in both amplitude and attitude to the north-south trending fabric displayed by the norseman archean greenstone Belt to the north rather than the north-east trend of the proterozoic albany fraser province. This interpretation was subsequently supported in 1995 by age dating evidence which allocated an archean age of 2600-2700 million years to rocks within the project area.
demonstration of the project area and its surrounds to be archaean in age considerably increased the prospectivity of a large region for gold and nickel deposits. during 1979 and 1980 cngc established a grid over the area, cut and sampled several costeans, performed a resistivity survey over a portion of the area, flew aerial magnetics and drilled a single percussion hole. costeans by cngc indicate a zone of fracturing, mineralisation and quartz/felsic intrusives cross-cutting the country rocks, coincident with air photo lineations identified in an east-west direction, just north of the mine workings.
J & l morton in 1992 to 1993 conducted surveying, mapping and sampling. geological mapping was conducted in the shaft, the main levels and on the surface. sampling was done in underground openings at 120 locations. hangingwall, “reef” and footwall were differentiated, resulting in 324 samples. 24 surface samples were taken mostly of quartz from costeans.

F. Exploration Targets
a) Peninsula Gold Project
The significant level of historical exploration and historical mining activities will require considerable desktop analysis in order to adequately utilise available data. preliminary review of current data shows a number of possible opportunities exist to extend the known mineralised area both along strike and at depth. drilling to the north and south of the peninsula mine has indicated that mineralisation extends beyond the area of the existing workings. significant intercepts include:

b) Beete Gold Project
The Beete gold project has a considerable amount of historical exploration data and historical workings which require detailed analysis. previous workers of the workings have documented that a shoot control exists within the mineralised sequence which strongly influences the distribution of high grade mineralisation. By generating a three dimensional geological model of the project data, it is envisaged that this shoot control can be further defined. in order to test the geological model a combination of geological mapping, surface sampling and shallow drilling will be required.

IV. CRAWFORD PROJECT
A. Location and Access
The crawford project is located in the crawford Belt of the gascoyne province, 190km east-north east of carnarvon, Western australia. The project area lies on the mt sandiman 1:100,000 map sheet and the Kennedy range 1:250,000 map sheet (sg50-01).
==> picture [207 x 312] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 9: Crawford Project Location Plan
The main access to the area is via the Williambury-mt sandiman road. Various station tracks occur across the project area. a grid cut by crae provides access across the crawford project area.
B. Climate and Vegetation
The gascoyne region has a moderate arid-tropical climate with less of the climatic extremes that are felt to the north and south of the region. around three hundred and twenty days of sunshine occur each year.
rainfall in the gascoyne is highly variably, averaging 200 millimetres per year. The majority of this rainfall occurs during cyclonic activity and thus is a function of the number of cyclones that affect the region during the cyclone season.
The gascoyne region is almost entirely covered by semi-arid shrub varieties with little or no tree cover. significant tracts of natural vegetation such as spinifex (Triodia), Wattle (acacia) and poverty Bush (eremophila) remain intact.
C. Geological Setting and Mineralisation
1. Regional Geology
The crawford Belt represents an inlier of the proterozoic morrissey metamorphics surrounded by intrusive granitoids. The belt itself has been intruded by various granitoids apparently related to the minnie creek Batholith. mapping conducted by the gsWa shows the morrissey metamorphics to be a sequence of quartz-muscovitebiotite-sericite schists and quartz-muscovite-biotitegarnet-andalusite schists. included in the sequence are also minor amphibolites and quartzite units. These amphibolites and quartzite units have been intruded by two generations of granitoid.
The belt is transected by a major shear zone, 2-3km wide, which trends in a WnW-ese direction across the region, deforming both granitoids and morrissey metamorphics (archibald, 1994). a number of north-striking gabbroic dykes occur to the east, typically within the granitoid lithologies (Williams, 1993). numerous quartz blows intersperse the land surface throughout the project area.
2. Project Geology
The crawford Bore project is underlain by proterozoic metamorphic rocks of the morrissey metamorphic suite. The project is centred on an ese striking belt of biotitechlorite-white mica schist that also include porphyroblastic garnet, staurolite, andalusite, tourmaline and magnetite at various locations.
a) Lithologies
The crawford project consists of a series of metasediments, meta igneous rocks, tourmalinites, quartz veins and gabbroic dykes. metasediments are described as being pelitic to semi pelitic, strongly foliated schists.

This is a replacemenT prospecTus daTed 7 July 2011. iT replaces The prospecTus daTed 30 June 2011 relaTing To The shares of TerranoVa minerals limiTed
Independent Geologist’s Report (continued)
meta igneous bodies within the project are predominantly granitic to granodioritic in composition with minor amphibolite dykes. granitoids are medium to coarse grained and almost all preserve the original foliation. Variability of fabric in the granitoids is related to the timing of intrusion with respect to the dominant deformation regimes.
Tourmalinite outcrops are scattered across the crawford project. The tourmalinites are found both cross cutting and parallel to the dominant foliation. They are often linear features that extend for up to 30m and a maximum of 10m in diameter. late tourmalinite veins are easily identifiable as they are clearly associated with quartz veins. large quartz blows and vein systems run approximately north-south are most likely associated with the north-south trending system of faults due to late stage brittle deformation. less abundant and much smaller scale quartz veins appear as deformed lenses within the sediments parallel to the s1 foliation. extensive gabbroic dykes similarly trend north-south, intruding into these late stage faults.
b) Structure
numerous large and small scale faults occur within the project area. The large scale faults trend approximately east-west displacing the prominent steeply dipping, north-south trending faults frequently marked by either gabbroic dykes or quartz blows. in some places the north-south trending faults are associated with a chloritic zone. The fault system is extensive and rather complex; some faults appear as conjugate fault sets, showing dextral sense of movement, others of similar orientation show no offset. The faults are a late feature as they crosscut all other foliations and rock textures.
3. Mineralisation
mineralisation occurs in a system of WnW-ese trending quartzite and tourmalinite veins, concordant with the foliation of the schists. These veins are thought to be derived from the minnie creek Batholith during a late phase of orogeny. The association of the veins with the nick Belt plutons is unclear, but from limited outcrop evidence it appears that they actually intrude the granite. some of these veins form prominent gossanous ridges. most of the veins display leached cavities and limonitic box-work textures.
D. Previous Exploration
==> picture [216 x 271] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 10: Crawford Project Geochemical Sampling
historically, exploration in the region has been conducted by White & White (1991), cra ltd (1993), pasminco (1994) and matlock (1995).
The crawford Bore-nicks bore area was first pegged by o.J. White in the late 1980’s for corundum. further prospecting in the area led to the discovery of tourmalinite veins, often hosting localized gossan development with significant base and precious metals anomalies. copperlead- zinc mineralisation has been identified in outcrops around crawford’s Bore, to the south of nick Bore, and a few kilometres to the south east of crawford’s Bore.
cra ltd (“cra”) optioned the ground and carried out an exploration program involving gridding, stream sediment geochemistry, airborne magnetic / radiometrics and a wide spaced ip survey. a large chargeability plus resistivity anomaly was drilled via four rc percussion holes. all produced disappointing results. cra withdrew from the Joint Venture in January 1993. it should be noted that the cra exploration program did not follow up on tourmalinite occurrences, as at the time they were not considered to be economically viable targets.

Independent Geologist’s Report (continued)
pasminco exploration conducted an assessment of the crawford Belt in march 1994. nick archibald (consulting geologist) was commissioned to conduct an initial assessment of the prospectivity of the crawford Belt for “Broken hill Type” base metal mineralisation. in the concluding statement of his report it was suggested that on a comparative basis with more generalised models for mineralisation hosted in proterozoic high grade terrains, the crawford Belt is unlikely to host base metal mineralisation.
favourable stratigraphic horizons within the package demonstrate anomalous geochemical signatures that warrant follow up.
further to this work pasminco also commissioned a geologist to conduct three weeks worth of mapping of the project. attention was paid to structural and lithological detail. petrological and magnetic susceptibility studies were carried out. The geochemical data obtained from their study did not reproduce the high base metal values associated with tourmalinites and gossanous material obtained by White and White (1991). The field and petrographic evidence suggested to them that tourmaline
occurrences and the various tourmalite base metal veins are genetically related to granitic intrusives in the area. further, they found no evidence to support the possibility of significant stratiform/stratabound base metals mineralisation within the area.
matlock mining nl conducted reconnaissance mapping of the tenement area. reconnaissance soil sampling with a follow up detailed soil sampling campaign was conducted over anomalous area. Targets were further investigated by detailed mapping and sampling.
E. Exploration Targets
The crawford project represents a poly metallic exploration target which has been subject to limited modern systematic exploration. in order to understand the controls on mineralisation a desktop analysis and geophysical based modelling program is proposed. Through a combination of the desktop analysis and geophysical modelling a three dimensional geological model for the region will be generated. structural and lithological targets will be tested using geochemical sampling methods.

INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION
We have prepared this investigating accountant’s report ( “Report” ) on historical financial information of Terranova minerals nl ( “Terranova” or “the Company” ) for inclusion in the prospectus. Broadly, the prospectus will offer 20 million shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to $4 million before costs ( “the Offer” ). This is the minimum subscription. oversubscriptions of up to a further 2.5 million shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to an additional $500,000 may be accepted.
expressions defined in the prospectus have the same meaning in this report.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This report has been prepared to provide investors with information on the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and the statement of financial position and the pro-forma statement of financial position as noted in appendices 1, 2 and 3.
This report does not address the rights attaching to the shares to be issued in accordance with the prospectus, nor the risk associated with the investment, and has been prepared based on the complete offer being achieved. neither Bdo corporate finance (Wa) pty ltd nor its related entities ( “BDO” ) has not been requested to consider the prospects for the company, the shares on offer and related pricing issues, nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder and accordingly has not done so, and does not purport to do so. Bdo accordingly takes no responsibility for these matters or for any matter or omission in the prospectus, other than responsibility for this report. risk factors are set out in the prospectus.
3. BACKGROUND
Terranova was incorporated on 25 January 2011. it is an australian based exploration company established primarily to acquire, explore, evaluate and exploit mineral resource projects including gold, bismuth and copper minerals at the Beete gold mine and peninsula gold project ( “Red Field Tenements” ), both located in Western australia. The company has also applied for exploration licence e09/1899, known as the crawford project.

Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)
Acquisition Agreement
on or about 9 may 2011, the company entered into an acquisition agreement with red field pty ltd ( “Red Field” ), which currently owns 100% of both the Beete gold mine and peninsula gold project ( “Acquisition Agreement” ).
The consideration for the acquisition is as follows:
-
Within 5 business days from the execution of the acquisition agreement, the company will pay an amount of $25,000 payable in cash for the reimbursement of previous exploration expenses in relation to the red field Tenements;
-
at settlement, the company will pay an amount of $40,000 payable in cash for the reimbursement of previous exploration expenses in relation to the red field Tenements; and
-
at settlement, the company will issue 300,000 shares in Terranova to red field.
a condition of the acquisition agreement is that Terranova successfully completes the capital raising and obtains conditional approval to list on the australian securities exchange ( “ASX” ).
4. SCOPE
you have requested Bdo to prepare an investigating accountant’s report covering the following financial information:
-
¬ Terranova’s reviewed statement of comprehensive income for the period from 25 January 2011, the date Terranova was incorporated, to 30 april 2011;
-
¬ the statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity and the pro-forma statement of financial position as at 30 april 2011 reflecting the actual position as at that date, major transactions between that date and the date of our report and the proposed capital raising under the prospectus; and
-
¬ the accounting policies applied by Terranova in preparing its financial statements.
The historical financial information set out in the appendices to this report has been extracted from the financial statements of the company for the period of incorporation to 30 april 2011.
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information including determination of the adjustments.
We have conducted our review of the historical financial information in accordance with the australian auditing and assurance standard asre 2405 “review of historical financial information other than a financial report”. We made such inquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgment, considered reasonable in the circumstances including:
-
¬ a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents pertaining to balances in existence at 30 april 2011;
-
¬ a review of the assumptions used to compile the pro-forma statement of financial position;
-
¬ a review of the adjustments made to the pro-forma historical financial information;
-
¬ a comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement principles in accounting standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in australia, and the accounting policies adopted by the company disclosed in the appendices to this report; and
-
¬ enquiry of directors and others.
These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)
our review was limited primarily to an examination of the historical financial information, the pro-forma financial information, analytical review procedures and discussions with both management and directors. a review of this nature provides less assurance than an audit and, accordingly, this report does not express an audit opinion on the historical information or pro-forma financial information included in this report or elsewhere in the prospectus.
in relation to the information presented in this report:-
-
¬ support by another person, corporation or an unrelated entity has not been assumed;
-
¬ the amounts shown in respect of assets do not purport to be the amounts that would have been realised if the assets were sold at the date of this report; and
-
¬ the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted.
5. CONCLUSION
Statement on Historical Financial Information
Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which would cause us to believe the historical financial information as set out in the appendices to this report does not present fairly the financial performance for the period of incorporation to 30 april 2011 or the financial position as at 30 april 2011 in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable accounting standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in australia.
Statement of Pro-forma Financial Information
Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which would cause us to believe the pro-forma financial information does not present fairly the financial position of the company as at 30 april 2011, in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable accounting standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in australia as if the pro-forma transactions had occurred on that date.
6. SUBSEqUENT EVENTS
apart from the matters dealt with in this report, and having regard to the scope of our report, to the best of our knowledge and belief, no other material transactions or events outside of the ordinary business of the company have come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
The pro-forma statement of financial position reflects the following events that have occurred subsequent to the period ended 30 april 2011:
- ¬ The payment of $25,000 for the reimbursement of previous exploration expenses in relation to the red field Tenements as per the acquisition agreement.

The pro-forma statement of financial position post issue is shown in appendix 2. This has been prepared based on the reviewed financial statements as at 30 april 2011 and the transactions and events relating to the issue of shares under this prospectus:
-
¬ The issue of 20 million shares at an issue price of $0.20 cents per share to raise $4 million;
-
¬ capital raising costs of the offer totalling approximately $526,739 to be offset against contributed equity;

APPENDIX 4 TERRANOVA MINERALS NL
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the historical financial information included in this report have been set out below.
(a) Basis of preparation of historical financial information
The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement, but not all the disclosure requirements of the australian equivalents to international financial reporting standards ( “AiFRS” ), other authoritative pronouncements of the australian accounting standards Board, australian accounting interpretations and the corporations act 2001.
The financial information has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivatives and availablefor-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The carrying values of recognised assets and liabilities that are hedged are adjusted to record changes in the fair value attributable to the risks that are being hedged. non-current assets and disposal group’s held-forsale are measured at the lower of carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell.
(b) Going Concern
The historical financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the company being able to raise additional funds as required to meet ongoing commitments and for working capital. The directors may need to raise additional capital or realise assets as required to further explore and evaluate the current opportunities. The directors believe that the company will continue as a going concern. as a result the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. however should the company be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings or realising assets, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. no adjustments have been made relating to the
recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company not continue as a going concern.
(c) Reporting Basis and Conventions
The report is also prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historic costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Income Tax
The income tax expense or benefit (revenue) for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. it is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. no deferred income tax will be recognized from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(f) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised as the amount receivable and are due for settlement no more than 120 days from the date of recognition. collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off against the receivable directly unless a provision for impairment has previously been recognised.
a provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. loans granted are recognised at the amount of consideration given or the cost of services provided to be reimbursed.
(g) Revenue Recognition
revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of gsT.
Interest
revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. The effective interest method uses the effective interest rate which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset.
(i) Trade and Other Payables
liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the company. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 30 days of recognition.
(j) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.
(k) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of gsT except where gsT incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the gsT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item.
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of gsT included. The net amount of gsT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis and the gsT component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities are classified as operating cash flows.
commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of gsT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(h) Provisions
provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(l) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
exploration and evaluation expenditure, including costs of acquiring the licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. costs incurred before the company has obtained the legal rights to explore the area are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

This is a replacemenT prospecTus daTed 7 July 2011. iT replaces The prospecTus daTed 30 June 2011 relaTing To The shares of TerranoVa minerals limiTed
Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)
exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
- i. The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area of interest; or
Financial Assets
a financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
Non-Financial Assets
- ii. activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient date exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. for the purpose of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, and accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.
(m) Impairment of assets
at each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. if such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. if any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. for goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
an impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. a cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
(n) Property, plant and equipment
each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Plant & Equipment
plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
class of fixed asset depreciation rate plant and equipment over 2 to 10 years
The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.
(o) Contributed Equity
ordinary shares are classified as equity.
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit. costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options associated with the acquisition of a business are included as part of the purchase consideration.
(p) Financial Instruments
Recognition
financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
Loans and receivables
loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities
non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
(q) Employee Benefits
Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave
liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the statement of financial position date are recognised in respect of employees’ services rendered up to statement of financial position date and measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. liabilities for nonaccumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. liabilities for wages and salaries are included as part of other payables and liabilities for annual and sick leave are included as part of employee Benefit provisions.
Long Service Leave
liabilities for long service leave are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees to the statement of financial position date using the projected unit credit method. consideration is given to expect future salaries and wages levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. expected future payments are discounted using national government bond rates at the statement of financial position date with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Share-based payments transactions
The company provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the company in the form of share options. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using Black scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line basis over the period from grant date to the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”). The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number that vest.

Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
(r) Accounting estimates and judgements
in the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made certain judgements or estimations which have an effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information.
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
Valuation of share based payment transactions
The valuation of share-based payment transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.

TERRANOVA MINERALS LIMITED: TENEMENT REPORT
This report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus to be issued by Terranova minerals limited (acn 148 966 545) ( Company ) on or about 28 June 2011 for the issue of up to 20,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each in order to raise up to $4,000,000 (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to a further 2,500,000 shares) ( Prospectus ).
1. ASSETS
The company entered into a sale of mining tenement agreement with red field pty ltd ( Red Field ) ( Red Field Agreement ) under which red field agreed to sell and the company agreed to purchase all of red field’s rights in prospecting licences p 63/1646 and p 63/1694 ( Red Field Tenements ). a summary of this agreement is included in section 10.1 of the prospectus.
The company has also applied for exploration licence e 09/1899 ( Company Tenement ).
The red field Tenements and company Tenement are together referred to as the Tenements in this report. a schedule of Tenements is attached to and forms part of this report ( Schedule ).
2. SEARCHES
for the purposes of this report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of the Tenements as follows:
- (a) obtained searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western australian department of mines and petroleum ( DMP ). These searches were conducted on 24 June 2011.

Solicitor’s Report on Tenements (continued)
-
(b) We have obtained extracts of registered native title claims and native title determinations that apply to the Tenements, as determined by the national native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ). This material was obtained on 24 may 2011. Key details on the status of the Tenements is set out in the Tenement schedule.
-
(c) We have reviewed all material agreements relating to the Tenements and summarised the material terms (details of which are set out in section 10.1 of the prospectus).
on the basis of the searches conducted, we consider that this report (and the schedule) provides an accurate statement as to the status of the Tenements as at the date the relevant searches were obtained.
3. OPINION
as a result of our searches and enquiries, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out below, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant searches:
-
(a) ( Company’s Interest ): this report provides an accurate statement as to the company’s interest in the Tenements;
-
(b) ( Good Standing ): this report provides an accurate statement as to the validity and good standing of the Tenements; and
-
(c) ( Third party interests ): this report provides an accurate statement as to third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements.
4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
subject to the qualifications and assumptions in this report, we consider the following to be material issues in relation to the Tenements:
-
(a) ( Company’s Interest ): The company does not have a registered interest in prospecting licences p 63/1646 and p 63/1694, the red field Tenements. it only has an equitable interest pursuant to the red field agreement.
-
(b) ( Transfer of interest ): a transfer of an interest in the red field Tenements to the company will depend on the company and other parties complying with the applicable terms of red field agreement. We express no opinion on whether the company will ultimately acquire an interest in the Tenements.
-
(c) ( Applications for Tenements ): The company has applied for but has not been granted exploration licence e 09/1899. We express no opinion on whether the company will ultimately be granted an interest in exploration licence e 09/1899.
-
(d) ( Rent ): rent currently due has been fully paid for the current tenement year for each granted Tenement. The rent for the tenement year ended 15 July 2012 for prospecting licence p 63/1694 will be due and payable by 15 July 2011. The Tenement schedule to this report provides details.
-
(e) ( Expenditure ): red field has complied with its minimum expenditure commitments in full for the last tenement year for the red field Tenements. The Tenement schedule to this report provides details.
-
(f) ( Conditions ): none of the Tenements are subject to unusual conditions of a material nature.
-
(g) ( Third party interests ): There are no third party dealings registered against the Tenements as at the date of our search of the dmp register.
-
(h) ( Material Contracts ): The company’s interest in the Tenements arises pursuant to the red field agreement.
-
(i) ( Native title ): native title claims are registered against the red field Tenements. further details are provided in schedule 2 of this report. The nnTT was unable to find any data for the exploration licence e09/1899. These native title claims could potentially prevent exploration and/or mining activities from taking place within certain parts of the Tenements.

Solicitor’s Report on Tenements (continued)
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS
The Tenements comprise exploration and prospecting licences granted or applied for under the Mining Act 1978 (Wa) ( Mining Act ). schedule 1 provides a list of the Tenements.
The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of these types of mining tenements as set out in the mining act.
5.1 Prospecting Licence
Application : a person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the mining act. The mining registrar or warden decides whether to grant an application for a prospecting licence. an application for a prospecting licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.
Rights : The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of prospecting for minerals.
Term : a prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 february 2006, the minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status is granted (as discussed below), by further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
Retention Status : The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 february 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the prospecting licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. however, the minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of a prospecting licence applied for or granted before 10 february 2006 can apply for a retention licence.
Conditions : prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in the Tenement schedule. a failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.
Priority to apply for a Mining Lease : The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. an application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
Transfer : There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.
Reversion Application : The mining act allowed the holder of a prospecting licence who had applied for a mining lease before 10 february 2006 to lodge an application between 11 february 2006 and 10 february 2007 for an exploration licence or prospecting licence in lieu of the grant of the mining lease. The mining act provides that reversion applications are deemed to be transferred to a transferee of the underlying prospecting licence.
5.2 Exploration Licence
Application : a person may lodge an application for an exploration licence and the minister decides whether to grant the application. an application for an exploration licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.
Rights : The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of exploration for minerals.

Solicitor’s Report on Tenements (continued)
Term : an exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The minister may extend the term where:
-
¬ the exploration licence was granted before 10 february 2006, by a further period or periods of 1 or 2 years; and
-
¬ the exploration licence was granted after 10 february 2006, by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years.
Where an exploration licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
Retention Status : The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 february 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. however, the minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of an exploration licence applied for or granted before 10 february 2006, can apply for a retention licence.
Conditions : exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. a failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.
Relinquishment : The holder of an exploration licence granted or applied for before 10 february 2006 must relinquish not less than half of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the third year. a further relinquishment of not less than half of the remaining blocks is required at the end of the fourth year. The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 february 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year.
Priority to apply for Mining Lease : The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
Transfer : no legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealing.
Reversion Application : The mining act allowed the holder of an exploration licence who had applied for a mining lease before 10 february 2006 to lodge an application between 11 february 2006 and 10 february 2007 for an exploration licence or prospecting licence in lieu of the grant of the mining lease. The mining act provides that reversion applications are deemed to be transferred to a transferee of the underlying exploration licence.
6. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE
There may be areas or objects of aboriginal heritage located on the Tenements.
The company must ensure that it is in compliance with the commonwealth and the relevant state or Territory legislation relating to aboriginal heritage as set out below. To ensure that it does not contravene such legislation, the company would need to conduct heritage surveys to determine if any aboriginal areas or objects exist within the area of the Tenements. any interference with these sites must be in strict conformity with the provisions of the relevant legislation. it may also be necessary for the company to enter into separate arrangements with the traditional owners of the sites.

Solicitor’s Report on Tenements (continued)
6.1 Commonwealth Legislation
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.
under the commonwealth heritage act, the minister for aboriginal affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. compensation is payable by the minister to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.
it is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the heritage protection act.
6.2 Western Australian Legislation
Tenements are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (Wa) (Wa heritage act).
The Wa heritage act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial aboriginal sites and areas of significance to aboriginal persons.
The minister’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation, alteration or damage to an aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site.
aboriginal sites may be registered under the Wa heritage act. however, there is no requirement for a site to be registered and the Wa heritage act protects all registered and unregistered sites.
7. NATIVE TITLE
7.1 Introduction
This section of the report examines the effect of native title on the Tenements.
The existence of native title rights held by indigenous australians was first recognised in australia in 1992 by the high court in the case Mabo v. Queensland (no.2) (1992) 175 clr 1 ( Mabo no.2 ).
mabo no. 2 held that certain land tenure existing as at the date of that case, including mining tenements, where granted or renewed without due regard to native title rights, were invalid.
as a result of mabo no. 2, the Native Title Act 199 3 (cth) ( NTA ) was passed to:
-
(a) provide a process for indigenous people to lodge claims for native title rights over land, for those claims to be registered by the national native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ) and for the courts to assess native title claims and determine if native title rights exist. Where a court completes the assessment of a native title claim, it will issue a native title determination that specifies whether or not native title rights exist;
-
(b) provide (together with associated state legislation) that any land tenures granted or renewed before 1 January 1994 were valid despite mabo no. 2. This retrospective validation of land tenure was subsequently extended by the nTa to include freehold and certain leasehold (including pastoral leases) granted or renewed before 23 december 1996; and
-
(c) provide that an act that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) carried out after 23 december 1996 (a Future Act ) must comply with certain requirements for the future act to be valid under the nTa. These requirements are called the Future Act Provisions .
The future act provisions are summarised in section 7.2 below, following which the report identifies:
- (a) native title claims and determinations that are registered against the Tenements (see section 7.3);
72
T e r r a n o Va m i n e r a l s l i m i T e d p r o s p e c T u s
This is a replacemenT prospecTus daTed 7 July 2011. iT replaces The prospecTus daTed 30 June 2011 relaTing To The shares of TerranoVa minerals limiTed
Solicitor’s Report on Tenements (continued)
-
(b) Tenements which have been retrospectively validated under the nTa as being granted before 23 december 1996 (see section 7.4);
-
(c) Tenements which have been granted after 23 december 1996 and as such will need to have been granted following compliance with the future act provisions to be valid under the nTa. This report assumes that the future act provisions have been complied with in relation to these Tenements (see section 7.4); and
-
(d) Tenements which are yet to be granted and which may need to comply with the future act provisions in order to be valid under the nTa (see section 7.4).
note that the grant of a Tenement does not need to comply with the future act provisions if in fact native title has never existed over the land covered by the Tenement, or has been validly extinguished prior to the grant of the Tenement. We have not undertaken the extensive research needed to determine if in fact native title does not exist, or has been validly extinguished in relation to the Tenements.
unless it is clear that native title does not exist (e.g. in relation to freehold land), the usual practice of the state is to comply with the future act provisions when granting a Tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid in the event a court determines that native title rights do exist over the land subject to the Tenement and as such, the future act provisions apply.
Where a Tenement has been retrospectively validated or validly granted under the nTa, the rights under the Tenement prevail over any inconsistent native title rights.
7.2 Future Act Provisions
The future act provisions vary depending on the future act to be carried out. in the case of the grant of a mining tenement, typically there are three alternatives: the right to negotiate, an indigenous land use agreement (ilua) and the expedited procedure. These are summarised below.
Right to Negotiate
The right to negotiate involves a formal negotiation between the state, the applicant for the Tenement and any registered native title claimants and holders of native title rights. The aim is to agree the terms on which the Tenement can be granted. The applicant for the Tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the Tenement (e.g. in relation to heritage surveys).
if agreement is not reached to enable the Tenement to be granted, the matter may be referred to arbitration before the nnTT, which has 6 months to decide whether the Tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions. The nnTT usually requires the parties to have had at least 6 months of negotiations before it will accept a referral for arbitration.
ILUA
an ilua is a contractual arrangement governed by the nTa. under the nTa, an ilua must be negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The state and the applicant for the Tenement are usually the other parties to the ilua.
an ilua must set out the terms on which a tenement can be granted. an ilua will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title in return for the grant of the Tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.
once an ilua is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even though they may not be parties to it.

Solicitor’s Report on Tenements (continued)
Expedited Procedure
The nTa establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a future act that is unlikely to adversely affect native title rights ( Expedited Procedure ). The grant of a tenement can occur under the expedited procedure if:
-
(a) the grant will not interfere directly with the carrying on of the community or social activities of the persons who are the holders of native title in relation to the land;
-
(b) the grant is not likely to interfere with areas or sites of particular significance, in accordance with their traditions, to the persons who are holders of native title in relation to the land; and
-
(c) the grant is not likely to involve major disturbance to any land or waters concerned or create rights whose exercise is likely to involve major disturbance to any land.
if the state considers the above criteria are satisfied, it commences the expedited procedure by giving notice of the proposed grant of the Tenement in accordance with the nTa. persons have until three (3) months after the notification date to take steps to become a registered native title claimant or native title holder in relation to the land to be subject to the Tenement.
if there is no objection lodged by a registered native title claimant or a native title holder within four (4) months of the notification date, the state may grant the Tenement.
if one or more registered native title claimants or native title holders object within that four (4) month notice period, the nnTT must determine whether the grant is an act attracting the expedited procedure. if the nnTT determines that the expedited procedure applies, the state may grant the Tenement. otherwise, the future act provisions (e.g. right to negotiate or ilua) must be followed before the Tenement can be granted.
7.3 Registered Native Title Claims and Determinations

Risk Factors
9.1 GENERAL
The shares offered under this prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the company’s business.
There are numerous risk factors involved with the company’s business. some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the company and cannot be mitigated. accordingly, an investment in the company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade.
9.2 RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPANY
The risk factors which are specific to the company are detailed in the investment overview section on page 8 of this prospectus. please refer to that section for more information.
9.3 TITLE RISK
The Tenements are governed by legislation relating to grant, renewal and forfeiture. There is no guarantee that current or future applications, conversions or renewals of tenure will be approved.
The Tenements will be subject to a number of specific legislative conditions including payment of rent and meeting minimum annual expenditure commitments. The inability to meet these conditions in relation to the Tenements could affect the standing of Tenements or restrict its ability to be renewed, adversely affecting the operations, financial position and performance of the company.
9.4 CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT POLICY
adverse changes in federal or Western australian government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the company. it is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the company’s properties without adequate compensation. in addition, there is a possibility that the company’s agreements with governments or joint venture partners may be unenforceable against such parties.
9.5 REGULATORY APPROVALS
regulatory approvals are required prior to any work being undertaken on the ground. The granting of such approvals may take time to achieve and no guarantees can be given that the approvals will be granted in the required timeframe or at all.
9.6 OPERATING RISKS
The operations of the company in relation to any Tenements may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
no assurances can be given that the company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of any Tenements.
9.7
RESOURCE ESTIMATES
The company does not currently have any Jorc compliant resources. should a Jorc compliant resource be delineated in the future, any resource estimate will be an expression of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. in addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. as further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the company’s operations.
9.8 COMMODITY AND CURRENCY VOLATILITY
if the company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the company to commodity price and currency exchange rate risks.
80

This is a replacemenT prospecTus daTed 7 July 2011. iT replaces The prospecTus daTed 30 June 2011 relaTing To The shares of TerranoVa minerals limiTed
Risk Factors (continued)
commodity prices inherently fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the company, including world demand for particular commodities, forward selling by producers and the level of production costs in major commodity producing regions. moreover, commodity prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, a commodity.
commodities are principally sold throughout the world in us dollars. as a result, any significant and/ or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the australian dollar and the us dollar and/ or adverse movements in commodity prices, could have a materially adverse effect on the company’s operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The company may undertake measures where deemed necessary by the board of directors to mitigate such risks.
9.9 ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
The operations and proposed activities of the company are subject to laws and regulation concerning the environment. as with most exploration Tenements and mining operations, the company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. it is the company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
9.11 COMPETITION RISK
The industry in which the company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. although the company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the company’s projects and business.
9.12 ADDITIONAL REqUIREMENTS FOR CAPITAL
The company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. depending on the company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the capital raising. 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, they may be required to reduce the scope of their operations, including the company scaling back its exploration programmes.
9.13 ECONOMIC RISKS
general economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on the company’s ability to fund those activities.
9.10 INSURANCE RISKS
The company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. however, in certain circumstances, the company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. 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.
9.14 MARKET CONDITIONS
share market conditions may affect the value of the company’s quoted securities regardless of the company’s operating performance. share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(a) general economic outlook;
-
(b) interest rates and inflation rates;
insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
-
(c) currency fluctuations;
-
(d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-

Additional Information
11.1 RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES
full details of the rights attaching to shares are set out in the company’s constitution a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the company’s registered office during normal business hours.
The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of shareholders.
The summary is prepared on the basis that the change of the status of the company from a public limited company to a no-liability company, as approved by shareholders on 1 march 2011, proceeds. The change is expected to occur prior to the date that the company lists on asX.
Broadly, a limited liability company is one in which the liability of its members is limited to the respective amounts that the members undertake to contribute to the property of the company if it is wound up, that is the unpaid proportion of the issue price of their shares. a no-liability company is one in which its members are not bound to pay calls made by the company on their shares. should the shareholder chose not to pay when there is a call, the shareholder forfeits both the unpaid and paid shares. no-liability companies may only be used where the company has stated in its constitution that its objectives are only mining activities.
(a) General Meetings
shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the company.
shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249d of the corporations act and the constitution of the company.
(b) Voting Rights
subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(i) each shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or
representative of a shareholder has one vote; and
- (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the share, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such shares registered in the shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend Rights
subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights to dividends, the directors may declare a dividend in accordance with the corporations act and may authorise the payment or crediting by the company to the shareholders of such a dividend. The directors may from time to time pay to shareholders any interim dividend that they may determine. subject to the rights of any preference shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares credited or raised under any special arrangement as to the dividend,, the dividend as declared shall be payable on all shares irrespective of the amount paid up, or credited as paid up, on the shares, and otherwise in accordance with part 2h.5 of the corporations act. interest may not be paid by the company in respect of any dividend, whether final or interim.
(d) Winding-Up
if the company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

generally, shares in the company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of australia and the transfer not being in breach of the corporations act or the listing rules.
(f) Variation of Rights
pursuant to section 246B of the corporations act, the company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.
if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the company is being wound up may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
