CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Eligible Shareholder

On behalf of the Directors of Celamin Holdings NL, I am pleased to present this Prospectus for the pro-rata Bonus Issue to Eligible Shareholders.

The Bonus Issue will be made on the basis of one (1) Bonus Option for every two (2) Shares held by you (as an Eligible Shareholder) on the Record Date, being 5.00pm (Perth time) on 16 July 2012. The Bonus Options are being issued to you free of charge. Each Bonus Option will be exercisable for one fully paid ordinary Share at an exercise price of $0.35 each on or before 5.00pm (Perth time) on 28 June 2013.

The purpose of the Bonus Issue is to reward you for your loyalty and support of the Company. The Company will seek quotation of the Bonus Options on ASX and, if the Bonus Options are admitted to quotation, you will have the opportunity to trade the Bonus Options on market. Alternatively, you may elect to exercise the Bonus Options for one fully paid ordinary Share at a fixed price during the exercise period, which may be at a discount to the market price of the Shares.

As the Bonus Options are being issued for no consideration, no funds will be raised under the Bonus Issue. If all the Bonus Options are exercised the Company will receive approximately $26,582,388. It is currently intended that any funds raised by the exercise of the Bonus Options will be used to fund ongoing exploration and evaluation activities and the Company's general working capital requirements (depending on when the Bonus Options are exercised and the Company's requirements at the relevant time).

You are not required to take any action in respect of the Bonus Issue and will receive a holding statement or allotment advice for the Bonus Options the subject of your entitlement in accordance with the timetable set out on page 2 of this Prospectus.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Thomson Chairman

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This Section is not intended to provide full information for Eligible Shareholders and accordingly this Prospectus should be read in its entirety. The Bonus Options and Shares that may be issued upon their exercise carry no guarantee in respect of a return of capital, return on investment, payment of dividends or the future value of Shares.

KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • As an Eligible Shareholder, you are entitled to 1 free Bonus Option for every 2 Shares held as at 5.00pm (Perth time) on 16 July 2012.
  • You may exercise each Bonus Option on or before 5.00pm (Perth time) on 28 June 2013 for 1 fully paid ordinary share at an exercise price of $0.35 each.
  • If the Bonus Options are admitted to quotation on ASX, you will have the opportunity to trade them on market.
  • If the Bonus Options are exercised in full, it will raise up to approximately $26,582,388 for the Company.
  • Any funds raised from the exercise of the Bonus Options will be applied towards ongoing exploration activities at the Chaketma Phosphate Project and the Company's other exploration projects and the Company's working capital requirements (depending on when the Bonus Options are exercised and the Company's requirements at the time).

KEY INVESTMENTS RISKS

  • The market price of the Company's Shares may fluctuate and, if the market price of the Company's shares is below $0.35, it is unlikely that the Bonus Options will be exercised.
  • If no, or a low proportion of, Bonus Options are exercised, the Company may need to rely more heavily on future capital raisings, which could result in dilution to your Shareholding (depending on the nature of the capital raising).
  • There is a risk that the Bonus Options may not meet ASX's quotation conditions, in which case you will not be able to trade them on market.
  • If the Bonus Options are admitted to quotation, the price at which you may trade Bonus Options may fall as well as rise.
  • Depending upon your individual circumstances, the exercise or sale of Bonus Options may have taxation consequences.
  • If you do not exercise the Bonus Options and other investors do, your Shareholding will be diluted.

These are a summary of the key investment highlights and risks only. You should read this Prospectus in full, including Section 1 which contains details of the Bonus Issue, Section 4 which contains more detailed disclosure of the risks associated with the Bonus Issue and an investment in the Company and Section 5 which contains the terms and conditions of the Bonus Options and the underlying Shares.

1. DETAILS OF THE BONUS ISSUE

1.1. The Bonus Issue

The Company is making a pro-rata Bonus Issue to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of one (1) Bonus Option for every two (2) Shares held on the Record Date. The Bonus Options are being issued free of charge. The Bonus Options will be exercisable for one fully paid ordinary Share at an exercise price of $0.35 each, on or before 5.00pm (Perth time) on 28 June 2013.

The primary purpose of the Bonus Issue is to reward you for your loyalty and support of the Company. You will have the opportunity to increase the number of Shares you hold by exercising Bonus Options for one fully paid ordinary Share at a fixed price of $0.35 each, which may be at a discount to the market price for Shares, depending on the market price of Shares during the exercise period. Alternatively, if the Bonus Options are admitted to official quotation, you will have the opportunity to trade the Bonus Options on market.

The maximum number of Bonus Options to be granted pursuant to this Bonus Issue is approximately 75,949,679 Bonus Options (subject to rounding). If, prior to the Record Date, some or all of the existing 25,367,001 Options are exercised, this will increase the number of Bonus Options to be granted under the Bonus Issue.

In the calculation of individual Entitlements to Bonus Options, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Partly Paid Shareholders will be entitled to participate in the issue of Bonus Options in proportion to the amount paid on their partly paid shares.

1.2. Use of Funds

As the Bonus Options are being issued for no consideration, no funds will be raised as a result of the Bonus Issue.

If all the Bonus Options are exercised the Company will receive approximately $26,582,388 (based on the number of Bonus Options to be issued under the Bonus Issue). There is no guarantee that any Bonus Options will be exercised and the proportion exercised will depend on the Share price relative to the exercise price during the exercise period.

It is currently intended that any funds raised by the exercise of the Bonus Options will be used as follows:

  • (a) to fund ongoing exploration activities at Chaketma Phosphate Project and the Company's other exploration projects; and
  • (b) for the Company's general working capital requirements.

The application of funds will depend on when Bonus Options are exercised and the Company's requirements at the relevant time.

1.3. Allotment and Allocation

The Bonus Options will be allotted and granted as soon as practicable after the Record Date and otherwise in accordance with the Listing Rules. Holding statements or allotment advices in relation to the Bonus options will be despatched to Eligible Shareholders as soon as practicable and in accordance with the indicative timetable at set out on page 2 of this Prospectus.

It is your responsibility to determine your allocation prior to trading in the Bonus Options (if admitted to quotation). If you sell any Bonus Options before you receive your holding statement or allotment advice, you do so at your own risk.

1.4. ASX Quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within seven days after the date of this Prospectus for the Bonus Options to be listed on the ASX. The Bonus Options will only be admitted to official quotation by ASX if the conditions for quotation of a new class of securities are satisfied (which include, amongst other things, there being a minimum of 100,000 Bonus Options on issue, with at least 50 holders with a Marketable Parcel). If quotation is not granted, the Bonus Options will still be issued but you will not be able to trade them on ASX.

1.5. Eligible Shareholders

Each Shareholder who is registered as the holder of Shares at 5.00pm (Perth time) on 16 July 2012 is entitled to one Bonus Option for every two Shares held.

Existing Option holders may only participate in the Bonus issue in respect of the Shares to be issued on exercise of the Options held by them if they exercise their Options prior to the Record Date and are registered as the holder of the underlying Shares on the Record Date.

Partly Paid Shareholders will be entitled to participate in the issue of Bonus Options in proportion to the amount paid on their Partly Paid Shares.

1.6. Overseas Shareholders

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of securities in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer. Where the Prospectus has been dispatched to persons domiciled in a country other than Australia and where that country's securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the offer, the Prospectus is provided for information purposes only. Any recipient of this Prospectus domiciled in a country outside of Australia should consult their professional advisers on requisite formalities and restrictions that may apply to them.

1.7. Taxation and Stamp Duty Implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Eligible Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of being issued Bonus Options under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a summary of the possible taxation positions of all Eligible Shareholders. The Company, its advisors and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Eligible Shareholders in respect of the issue of Bonus Options pursuant to this Prospectus. Eligible Shareholders should therefore consult their own professional tax advisor in connection with the taxation implications of the issue of Bonus Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.8. Ranking

The terms and conditions of the Bonus Options are set out in Section 5.1 of this Prospectus. Any Shares issued on the exercise of the Bonus Options will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue and the Company will apply for quotation for those Shares on ASX. The rights attaching to Shares are referred to in Section 5.2 of this Prospectus.

1.9. Non-Renounceable

Entitlements are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you will be unable to transfer your Entitlement to another party.

1.10. Prohibition on exceeding 20% voting power threshold

You must have regard to and comply with the takeovers prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act (that is, the 20% voting power threshold), when exercising Bonus Options granted pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for ensuring that you do not breach section 606 as a result of the exercise of the Bonus Options.

If you may be at risk of breaching section 606 as a result of the exercise of Bonus Options, you have the following choices available to you:

  • (a) sell your Bonus Options, either on market (if the options are admitted to official quotation) or off market;
  • (b) sell some or all of your Shares prior to exercising any Bonus Options held by you; or
  • (c) rely on another exemption from the takeovers prohibition in section 611 (such as the 3% creep exemption).

If you may be at risk of exceeding the 20% voting power threshold in section 606 or increasing your voting power from a position above 20% as a result of the acquisition of Shares following exercise of Bonus Options, you should seek professional advice before exercising any Bonus Options.

1.11. Directors' Discretion

The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus.

The Directors may make determinations in any manner they think fit in relation to any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the Bonus Issue whether generally or in relation to any Shareholder. Any determination by the Board will be conclusive and binding on all Shareholders and other persons to whom the determination relates.

1.12. Indicative Dates

EVENT DATE
Prospectus lodged with ASIC and copy provided to ASX 2 July 2012
Appendix 3B lodged with ASX 2 July 2012
Record Date to identify Eligible Shareholders 16 July 2012
Prospectus and Holding Statements despatched to Eligible Shareholders 30 July 2012
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules these dates are indicative only and the Directors reserve the right to
vary the dates for the Bonus Issue at their discretion.

1.13. Chess

The Company will participate in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ("CHESS"), in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and operates an electronic issuersponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together will make up the Company's principal register of Shares.

Consequently, the Company will not issue certificates to security holders. Security holders will be provided with transaction confirmation statements (similar to a holding statement), which will set out the number of Bonus Options allotted to them under this Prospectus. At the end of the month of allotment, CHESS (acting on behalf of the Company) will provide security holders with a holding statement that will confirm the number of securities then held.

A holding statement or transaction confirmation statement (whether issued by CHESS or the Company) will also provide details of a security holder's Holder Identification Number in the case of a holding on the CHESS sub-register or security holder Reference Number in the case of a holding in the issuer-sponsored sub-register. Following distribution of these initial statements to all security holders, a holding statement will be provided to each security holder at the end of any subsequent month during which the balance of that security holder's holding of securities changes.

1.14. Dividend Policy

The Directors do not intend to pay dividends in respect of the financial periods ending 30 June 2012 or 31 December 2012. No assurance can be provided about future dividend policy, the extent of future dividends or the franking of dividends.

1.15. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company is considered speculative and involves a number of risks. While the Directors intend to focus management on investment risk minimisation, no assurances can be given by the Company to Shareholders as to the success or otherwise of its business. Eligible Shareholders should consider the risk factors identified in this Prospectus, particularly those identified in Section 4 of this Prospectus, before exercising their Bonus Options.

2. THE COMPANY

Since re-listing on the Official List of ASX on 18 June 2012, the Company has continued to focus on Chaketma Phosphate project in respect of which a scoping study is due for completion by the end of June 2012 and the results it is due to publish shortly thereafter. The Company's objective is to bring one of its flagship phosphate projects into production as soon as practicable.

The Company is also progressing its other projects in Algeria and Tunisia on a timely basis.

3. EFFECT OF THE BONUS ISSUE ON THE COMPANY

3.1. Effect on Financial Position of the Company

No amounts will be raised by the Company via the issue of Bonus Options under this Prospectus. The issue of Bonus Options pursuant to this Prospectus will not have a material impact on the Company's current financial position other than a decrease in cash reserves of approximately $108,000 being the estimated expenses of the Bonus Issue as set out in Section 6.10 of this Prospectus.

The Company will receive $0.35 for each Bonus Option exercised. If all the Bonus Options issued pursuant to this prospectus are exercised, the Company will receive approximately $26,582,388 (based on the number of Bonus Options to be issued). The likelihood of the Company raising additional capital through the exercise of the Bonus Options is dependent on the market price of the Shares from time to time until the Bonus Options expire.

A pro-forma unaudited Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2011 has been prepared and is set out below for illustrative purposes. The pro-forma Statement of Financial Position has been prepared on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as the Company's reviewed financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2011. The pro-forma Statement of Financial Position has been prepared to take into account both the issue of the Bonus Options and the exercise of all of the Bonus Options, on the basis of the maximum number of Bonus Options to be issued (based on the number of Shares and Partly Paid Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus and without taking into account the impact of rounding or the expenses associated with the exercise of the Bonus Option or listing of the underlying Shares). There have been no material movements in assets and liabilities of the Company since the completion of the Acquisition of Celamin Limited (and the associated capital raising of $5,058,000) and the date of this Prospectus other than the effects of the expenses of the Bonus Issue of approximately $108,000.

  • Placement of 4,666,669 fully paid ordinary shares to raise $700,000.
  • Conversion of 200,000 partly paid shares raising $200,000.
  • The consideration of 72,500,000 new fully paid ordinary shares to be issued with a deemed issue price of $0.20 (20 cents) per consideration share.
  • The issue of 25,290,000 fully paid shares at a price of $0.20 to raise $5,058,000.

  • The inclusion of the reviewed Celamin Limited Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2011.

3.3. Effect of the Bonus Issue on the Capital Structure of the Company

The capital structure of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus is as follows:

Capital Structure Number
Shares on issue as at date of Prospectus 151,746,177
Total Shares on Issue 151,746,177
Partly Paid Shares on issue as at date of Prospectus 15,471,296
Total Partly Paid Shares on Issue 15,471,296
Options on Issue as at date of Prospectus 25,367,001
Bonus Options 75,949,679
Total Options on Issue 101,316,680

Assuming that no existing Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, and without taking into account the impact of rounding, the capital structure following completion of the Bonus Issue will be as above, however:

  • (a) the number of listed Options (subject to the quotation requirements in respect of the Bonus Options being met) will increase from nil to 75,949,679; or
  • (b) if the quotation requirements are not met in respect of the Bonus Options, the number of unlisted Options will increase from 25,367,001 to 101,316,680.

If all Bonus Options are exercised then, assuming no further Shares and no further Options are issued between the date of this Prospectus and the expiry date of the Bonus Options, the total number of Options on issue will decrease by 75,949,679 and the number of Shares on issue will increase from 151,746,177 to:

  • (a) 227,695,856 assuming no existing Options are exercised; and
  • (b) 253,062,857 assuming all existing Options are exercised.

3.4. Potential Effect on Control

As at the date of this Prospectus, the relevant interests and voting power of the substantial shareholders of the Company (based on the last substantial shareholding notice of change of directors interest notice lodged with the Company) are as follows:

Shareholder Number of Shares Voting Power
David Gerard Michael Regan & Marie 41,550,871 27.38%
Misaki Regan
RNAJ Pty Ltd 21,274,307 14.02%
African Lion 3 Limited 18,552,589 12.23%
IBDC SARL 7,394,300 4.87%
Commonwealth Bank of Australia 7,203,620 4.75%

Neither the Bonus Issue, nor the exercise of Bonus Options, will have a material effect on the control of the Company, with the maximum dilution experienced by any Shareholder that fails to exercise its Bonus Options being 9.13% of its existing voting power.

4. RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Company should be considered a speculative investment because of the nature of the Company's business and activities.

Eligible Shareholders should recognise there are a number of general and specific risks that the Company faces, which may materially and adversely impact the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares. As many of these risks are outside the control of the Company and/or its Directors, there can be no guarantee that the Company can achieve its objectives.

Eligible Shareholders should read this Prospectus in its entirety and carefully consider the risk factors impacting on the Company as well as their own investment objectives and their financial position prior to making a decision to exercise the Bonus Options. Any Applicant should realise that his/her investment may become subject to those risks in due course. As a consequence of those risks any company's Share price may rise or fall. If Eligible Shareholders are uncertain of matters detailed in this Prospectus and/or their financial circumstances in respect of investing in the Company, they should take appropriate advice from their stockbrokers, solicitors, accountants or other professional advisers.

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

4.1. Key Risks

(a) Exercise Price of Bonus Option

No guarantee can be given that the Share price will be greater than the exercise price of the Bonus Options during the period up to expiry of the Bonus Options on 28 June 2013. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Bonus Options will be out of the money during the exercise period, which would affect the value of the Bonus Options.

(b) Quotation Conditions

If the Bonus Options do not meet ASX's quotation conditions, they will not be admitted to official quotation on the ASX. If this occurs the Bonus Options will still be issued, but they will be unlisted and will not be able to be traded on the ASX.

(c) Value of Securities and Share Market Conditions

The market price of the Company's securities may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resources stocks in particular. Market conditions may affect the value of the Company's securities regardless of the

Company's performance. Lack of liquidity may also affect the value of the Company's securities.

The trading price of both the Bonus Options (if admitted to official quotation on ASX) and the underlying Shares, may fall as well as rise.

(d) Dilution

If you do not exercise the Bonus Options, because either you sell those Bonus Options on market (if admitted to quotation) or you allow those Bonus options to expire without being exercised, and other investors exercise the Bonus Options, your shareholding will be diluted up to a maximum of 50%.

(e) Taxation Consequences

The exercise or sale of a Bonus Option may have taxation consequences, depending on your particular circumstances. You should seek your own taxation advice before exercising or selling a Bonus Option.

(f) Requirements for Capital

The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors including the success of its planned exploration programs, its ability to generate income from its operations and possible acquisitions or other corporate opportunities.

If the exercise price of the Bonus Options is lower than the market price of Shares, then it is unlikely the Bonus Options will be exercised. This would mean that the Company will not raise any funds from the exercise of the Bonus Options.

(g) Geopolitical

Politics on a global, regional or local scale could impact the Company's operations, its access to certain countries and its right to continue operating in a particular country. Acts of terrorism or outbreak of war may disrupt or prevent the Company from operating its business programs.

The Company will be subject to the risks associated with operating in Tunisia and Algeria. Such risks can include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility and instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, labour relations and government control over mineral properties.

Tunisia

Tunisia is a constitutional republic, with a President who serves as head of state, a Prime Minister who serves as head of the Government, a bicameral legislature and a legal system that is based on the French Civil Code and Islamic law.

President Ben Ali governed from 1987 until 2011 when in response to political protests, he reportedly fled the country and the then Prime Minister took over as interim President. As a result of the protests, democratic elections were held in September 2011, these elections resulted in a new Constituent Assembly being formed with the moderate Islamist party which is modelled on the AKP party in Turkey, Ennahda holding a majority of seats.

In December 2011, Moncef Marzouki was named as the President of Tunisia. Marzouki will hold office for 18 months until the Tunisian Constitution is rewritten and new elections are held. No assurance can be given regarding the proposed changes to the Constitution or regarding the future political stability of Tunisia.

There is great pressure on the political parties to maintain the existing well-developed tourist industry and to create new jobs (especially in rural areas) and to encourage foreign direct investment.

Algeria

Algeria is a constitutional republic, with a President who serves as head of state, a Prime Minister who serves as the head of the Government, a bicameral legislature and a legal system that is based on French and Islamic law.

The current President is Abdelaziz Bouteflika who has been in power since 1999.

Since 1988, Algeria has implemented a wide program of reforms to move towards a market economy. The transition requires a restructure of Algeria's public industrial sector by removing or modifying controls and regulations that distort price signals and by opening up to international competition.

The key challenge was to implement appropriate policies to ensure long-term macroeconomic stability and promote economic diversification. The goal of the economic liberalization policy was to reduce the impact of the steep fluctuations in hydrocarbon prices on the budget and to boost job creation within the private sector.

Algeria remains dependent on the hydrocarbon sector for its exports and material and food imports. A goal of the economic liberalization policy is to reduce the overreliance on oil and gas which remains excessive.

Algeria will need to diversify the scope of industrial and agricultural as well as of the service sectors, to reduce this dependence. In this frame, Algeria wants to develop mining activities.

As diversification of the economy has only recently commenced, Algeria is favourable to foreign direct investment, creating jobs and providing new export incomes.

(h) Sovereign Risks

The Company's tenements are located in Tunisia and Algeria. Both Tunisia and Algeria may be subject to social and economic uncertainty. Any civil any political unrest and outbreaks of hostilities in Tunisia or Algeria could affect the Company's access to its tenements and subsequent exploration and development. Adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Tunisia or Algeria affecting foreign ownership of mineral interests, taxation, profit repatriation, royalties, land access, labour relations and mining exploration activities may affect the operations of the company.

(i) Joint Ventures

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Celamin Limited and its subsidiaries are party to a number of joint ventures which require them to contribute to joint venture expenditure and associated costs. If these costs are unable to be met, there may be a default under the agreement and Celamin Limited or its subsidiary (as applicable) may be required to surrender its interest in the joint venture and/or withdraw from the joint venture. If Celamin Limited or its subsidiaries withdraw from a joint venture, they will no longer hold any interest in that exploration project.

The Company must ensure that Celamin Limited has sufficient capital to meet any joint venture funding obligations from time to time. This is likely to require the Company to raise additional funds over the course of the joint ventures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise finance or acceptable terms or within the specified timeframe.

The Company is also reliant on the joint venture partners complying with their obligations under the respective agreements.

4.2. General Risks

(a) Key Management

The Directors are primarily responsible for overseeing the operations and the strategic management of the Company. There can be no assurance that there will be detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of the Directors, no longer act as Directors of the

Company, or if the employment outlook for geologists and other mining industry specialists remain tight or further tightens for any reason.

(b) General Economic Climate

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices (particularly the gold price) and stock market prices. The Company's future revenues, the economic viability of its projects, the market price for its listed securities, and its ability to raise further capital may be affected by these factors, which are beyond the Company's control.

(c) Operational Risks

The business of mining and mineral exploration, development and production by its nature involves significant risks. The business depends on, amongst other things, successful exploration and identification of mineral reserves, security of tenure, the availability of adequate funding, satisfactory performance of mining operations, weather conditions, availability and cost of consumables and plant and equipment and skilled labour when required, good industrial relations and competent management. Profitability and asset values can be affected by unforseen changes in operating circumstances, mineral reserves and geotechnical considerations.

Mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the projects the Company currently has an interest in will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit. If the Company makes a discovery, there can be no assurance that the technical, financial and regulatory hurdles can be cleared and profitable, commercial production achieved.

There are also risks associated with the financial failure, default or dispute with, any participant in a joint venture or contractual arrangements to which the Company is or may become party to.

(d) Land Access

The Company's tenements including any projects the Company will, or may, in the future acquire are subject to applicable local laws and regulations and there is no guarantee that any tenement applications or conversions will be granted.

The Company's tenements are subject to conditions that are imposed by each relevant jurisdiction and failure to comply with these conditions may render the permits liable to forfeiture.

All of the Company's tenements will be subject to renewal from time to time. Renewal of the term of each tenement is subject to the applicable legislation. If a tenement is not

renewed for any reason, the Company may lose the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.

(e) Environmental Risks

All exploration projects and mining operations have an impact on the environment, particularly advanced exploration and mine development.

The Company endeavours to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. However, as with all exploration and mining activities, the Company's operations are expected to have an impact on the environment. There are also risks inherent in the Company's activities including accidental leakages, spills or other unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability.

Further, the Company may require approval from relevant regulatory authorities before undertaking activities that are likely to impact on the environment. If the Company fails to obtain such approvals it will be prevented from undertaking those activities. The Company cannot predict what further legislation and regulations may govern mining, and may impose significant environmental obligations on the Company.

(f) Speculative Nature of Investment

The Bonus Options and any new Shares issued on the exercise of Bonus Options granted pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company's business. There are numerous risk factors involved. 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 as a result of the exercise of a Bonus Option carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which Shares will trade. Similarly, no guarantee can be given as to the value of the Bonus Options, including if they are admitted to official quotation or the price at which they will trade.

The above list of risk factors ought not 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 Bonus Options granted pursuant to this Prospectus. You should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult your professional adviser before deciding whether to sell or exercise any of the Bonus Options granted to you pursuant to this Prospectus.

5. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO BONUS OPTIONS AND TO UNDERLYING SHARES

5.1. Bonus Options

The Bonus Options will be granted on the following terms and conditions:

  • (a) Each Bonus Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) Share in the Company at a subscription price of 35 cents per Share.
  • (b) The Options are options to subscribe for 1 ordinary share in the capital of the Company for every option.
  • (c) The exercise price (Exercise Price) of the Options is $0.35 per Option.
  • (d) Ordinary shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank equally with all existing ordinary shares of the Company from the date of issue.
  • (e) Subject to the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Listing Rules and the ASTC Settlement Rules, the Options will be freely transferable. The Directors may decline to register any transfer of Options when permitted to do so under the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act 2001, the Listing Rules and/or the ASTC Settlement Rules.
  • (f) The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by notice in writing to the Company at any time on or before 28 June 2013.
  • (g) The Options may be quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
  • (h) Upon exercise of the Options, the Company will allot the number of ordinary shares the subject of any exercise notice and apply at its cost for listing on the ASX of the ordinary shares allotted.
  • (i) The Company shall allot the resultant ordinary shares and deliver a statement of shareholding with a holders' identification number within five Business Days of exercise of the Options.
  • (j) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company:
    • (i) the number of Options, the exercise price of the Options, or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the ASX Listing Rules, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result

in any benefits being conferred on the holders of the Options which are not conferred on shareholders; and

  • (ii) subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of shareholders approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the Options will remain unchanged.
  • (k) If there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of any Option may be reduced according to the following formula:

$$ O2 = O - \underbrace{E [P - (S + D)]}_{N + 1} $$

Where:

O2 = the new exercise price of the Option;

O = the old exercise price of the Option;

E = the number of underlying securities into which 1 Option is exercisable;

P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date;

S = the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue;

D = dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to 1 new security.

  • (l) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of ordinary shares in the Company, the number of ordinary shares over which the Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of ordinary shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
  • (m) The terms of the Options shall only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of ordinary shares in the Company approve of such a change. However, the terms of the Options shall not be changed to reduce the exercise price, increase the number of Options or change any period for exercise of the Options.

The Company will apply for quotation of the Bonus Options on ASX, but there is no guarantee quotation will be granted, unless the conditions for quotation are satisfied. The conditions for quotation include, amongst other things, there being a minimum of 100,000 Bonus Options on issue, with at least 50 holders with a Marketable Parcel.

If the Bonus Options do not satisfy the quotation conditions, the Bonus Options will be issued and allotted but will be unlisted Options that cannot be traded on ASX.

A qualification to the above is that where a person is present at a meeting as proxy or representative for more than one member then on a show of hands that person shall have only one vote and not one vote for each person represented by him.

A member who holds a share which is not fully paid shall be entitled to a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion that the amount paid-up bears to the total issue price of the share.

  • (a) each PPS:

    • (i) is paid to $0.001 (one tenth of one cent);

  • (f) if a holder of a PPS tenders part of the amount remaining unpaid (but not the full amount) on the PPS other than in satisfaction of a call;

    • (i) the rights attached to the PPS will not change (including the amounts paid and unpaid); and

5.5. Share Option Plan

The Company has established an Employee Share Option Plan to assist in the attraction, retention and motivation of employees of the Company. No options have been granted under the Plan as at the date of this Prospectus.

A summary of the Rules of the Plan is set out below:

Eligibility

An Employee or Director of the Company who is determined by the Board to be an eligible employee for the purposes of the Plan, or any other person who is determined by the Board to be an eligible employee for the purposes of the Plan and acquire securities under the Plan.

For the purposes of the Plan, the Board may determine at any time that any Eligible Employee is not entitled to participate in the Plan if the Eligible Employee's participation would be unlawful.

No payment for options

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, no payment is required for the issue of Options under the Plan.

Options transferable

An Option issued under the Plan is capable of being transferred or encumbered by a participant to the Plan by the participant giving notice in writing to the Board. The Company has no obligation to apply for quotation of the options on the ASX.

Limit on issues of Shares

The number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of any Options issued under the Plan, when aggregated with the number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of any outstanding offer or Option to acquire unissued Shares that has been made under the Plan, (or any other employee share scheme of the Company that employees or directors may participate in), (but disregarding any offer made, or option acquired or share issued by way of or as a result of an offer to Directors of the Company), must not exceed 10% of the total number of the Company's issued Shares as at the time of the offer.

Exercise conditions

An option issued under the Plan may only be exercised:

  • (a) if all the exercise conditions have been met;
  • (b) if the exercise price has been paid to the Company or as the Company may direct; and
  • (c) within the exercise period relating to the option.

An option granted under the Plan may not be exercised once it has lapsed.

Control event

The Board may determine that any Option issued under the Plan may be exercised, (whether or not any or all applicable Exercise Conditions have been met), on the occurrence of:

  • (a) an offer being made by a person for the whole of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (or any part that is not owned by the offeror or any person acting in concert with the offeror) and after an announcement of the offer, the offeror (being a person who did not control the Company prior to the offer) acquires control of the Company;
  • (b) any other event occurs which causes a change of control of the Company; or
  • (c) any other event which the Board reasonably considers should be regarded as a control event.

Issue or transfer of shares on exercise

Following the exercise of an option by a participant, the Company must, within such time as the Board determines, allot and issue or procure the transfer to the participant of the number of Shares in respect of which the option has been exercised, credited as fully paid.

Shares rank equally

Subject to the satisfaction of any applicable disposal restrictions, Shares allotted and issued under the Plan must rank equally in all respects with all other Shares from the date of allotment and issue.

Quotation on ASX

The Company must apply for quotation on the Official List of the ASX of any Shares allotted and issued upon the exercise of any Options issued under the Plan as soon as practicable after the allotment and issue of those Shares (provided the Company's Shares are quoted on the Official List of ASX at that time).

Cessation of Employment

If a participant ceases to be appointed or employed by the Company due to his or her death:

  • (a) all vested Options may be exercised within 12 months following the date of cessation of employment, after which these Options will lapse; and
  • (b) all other Options will lapse unless the Board determines otherwise.

If a participant ceases to be appointed or employed by the Company for any reason other than his or her death:

  • (a) all vested Options may be exercised within 30 days following the date of cessation of appointment or employment; and
  • (b) all other Options will lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board.

If the Board is of the opinion that a participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, the Board may determine that any Options granted to the participant will lapse. Any Option not exercised prior to the end of an exercise period will lapse.

Any participant may submit a request to the Board that an Option granted to that participant should lapse.

Changes in Circumstances

In the event of a reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction, capital return, buy back or cancellation) of the share capital of the Company, the Options must be reconstructed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, a participant is only entitled to participate (in respect of granted options under the Plan) in any new issue of shares to existing shareholders, if the participant has validly exercised his or her Options within the relevant exercise period and became a shareholder prior to the relevant record date.

If there is a pro-rata rights issue carried out by the Company, the exercise price of any Options issued under the Plan will be reduced according to the following formula:

$$ OA = OP - E[P - (S + D)] $$

N+1

where:

  • OA = the exercise price immediately following the adjustment;
  • OP = the exercise price immediately prior to the adjustment;
  • E = the number of Shares into which one Option is exercisable;
  • P = the average market price per share (weighted by reference to volume) during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date;
  • S = the subscription price for a Share under the pro rata issue;
  • D = any dividend due but not yet paid on a share (except any share to be issued under the pro rata issue); and
  • N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.

If there is a bonus issue of shares to the Company's shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

6.1. Section 713 Prospectus

This Prospectus has been issued under the provisions of section 713 of the Corporations Act. Section 713 enables disclosing entities to issue prospectuses in relation to securities in a class of securities that has been quoted on the ASX at all times in the 12 month period preceding the date of the prospectus, or options to acquire such securities. Copies of documents lodged at ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC.

The Bonus Options to be issued under this Prospectus are options to acquire securities in a class of securities that has been continuously quoted on the ASX in the 12 month period preceding the date of this Prospectus.
