In accordance with the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (NZ), a person who, on the Record Date was registered as a holder of Shares with a New Zealand address but who, as at the time of this Offer no longer holds Shares is not eligible to participate in this Offer.

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.

2.15 CHESS

The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

9

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

2.16 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document. The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Shareholders.

Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document.

2.17 Risk factors

An investment in New Shares should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are described in Section 4.

2.18 Enquiries concerning Offer Document

Enquiries relating to this Offer Document should be directed to the Offer Information Line on telephone (within Australia) 1300 660 857 or (international) +61 3 9415 4683.

4. RISK FACTORS

4.1 General

The Shares offered under this Offer Document 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.

The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Offer Document in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the Shares.

Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors which may affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and the price of its listed securities include the following.

4.2 Specific Company related Risks

Operating risks

The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • (a) adverse geological conditions;

  • (b) limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity;

  • (c) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling and production activities;

  • (d) mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment;

  • (e) industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;

  • (f) unavailability of aircraft or drilling equipment to undertake airborne electromagnetic and other geological and geophysical investigations;

  • (g) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and

  • (h) inability to obtain necessary consents or approvals.

Environmental risks and regulations

The Company’s projects are subject to Commonwealth and State laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mining projects, these projects would be

13

expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed.

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and industry standards. Areas disturbed by the Company’s activities will be rehabilitated as required by the conditions attaching to the Tenements.

Title Risks and Native Title

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

It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to 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.

The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

Tenure and Access

Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved.

The Company’s tenements are subject to numerous State-specific legislation conditions. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

Compulsory Work Obligations

Each of the Company’s tenements is subject to expenditure and work commitments which must be met in order to keep such tenements in good standing. These commitments may be varied on application by the tenement holder but any such variation is at the sole discretion of the Minister administering the relevant mining legislation. If no variation is approved, and there is failure to meet the commitments, this could lead to forfeiture of the tenement.

4.3 General Risks

Exploration

Mining exploration is inherently associated with risk. Notwithstanding the experience, knowledge and careful evaluation a company brings to an

14

exploration project 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.

Exploration and Operating Costs

The proposed exploration expenditure of the Company is based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration and feasibility work. 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.

Estimates of Resources and Ore Reserves

The estimating of mineral resources and ore reserves is a subjective process and the accuracy of resource and reserve estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of availably data and the assumptions used and judgements made in interpreting engineering and geological information. There is significant uncertainty in any resource or reserve estimate and the actual deposits encountered and the economic viability of mining a deposit may differ materially from any future estimate of the Company. The exploration of mineral rights is speculative in nature.

Any future estimated mineral resources or ore reserves may have to be recalculated based on changes in resource prices, further exploration or development activity or actual production experience. This could have a material adverse effect on estimates of the volume or grade of mineralisation, estimated recover rates or other important factors that influence resource or reserve estimates.

Contractual Risks

The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives will depend on the performance by the counterparties to these agreements of their obligations. If any counterparty defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms.

Competition Risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While 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.

Adequacy of Capital Raising

While the Directors believe that the Company will have sufficient funds to fund its activities in the medium term, there can be no assurance that the Company will not seek to exploit business opportunities of a kind which will require it to raise

15

additional capital from equity or debt sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such capital on favourable terms, or at all.

Any additional equity raising may dilute the interests of Shareholders, and any debt financing, if available, may involve financial covenants which limit the Company’s operations. There is no guarantee that acceptable sources of funds will be found in the future. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of any expansion, which could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Economic Risks

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, supply and demand of capital and industrial disruption have an impact on business costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company’s operating costs, possible future revenues and future profitability can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of the Company.

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, general economic outlook, interest rates and inflation rates, currency fluctuations, changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors, the demand for, and supply of, capital and terrorism or other hostilities. Such events are unpredictable and their impact on the individual companies or markets is beyond control of the Company.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, the Company must attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

Growth

The Company will continue to seek to grow the Company both organically and through new investment opportunities. There are always risks that the benefits, synergies or efficiencies expected from such investments or growth may take longer than expected to be achieved or may not be achieved at all. Any investments pursued could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Growth also brings substantial demands on management. The Board of Directors applies its experience to the evaluation and financing of new opportunities to determine whether the expected risks and rewards of these opportunities meets the Company’s requirements and its strategies for diversification of risk and for capital. The operating results of the Company will largely depend on the ability of the Board of Directors to make sound investment decisions.

16

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.

Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

Forward Looking Information

Certain information in this Offer Document constitutes forward looking information that is subject to risks and uncertainties and a number of assumptions, which may cause the actual expenditure of the Company to be different from the expectations expressed or implied in this Offer Document.

Liquidity Risk

There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for Shares become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.

Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered pursuant to this Offer Document. Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offer Document carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.

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