IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL

This Prospectus is dated 11 April 2023 and was lodged with ASIC on that date. Neither ASIC nor ASX, nor any of their officers, take any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.

OVERSEAS SHAREHOLDERS

Shares will not be issued pursuant to this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and therefore persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with any such restrictions may constitute a violation of the applicable securities law.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia and New Zealand.

RISK FACTORS

Refer to Section 3 for details of the risks associated with an investment in the Company. As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company.

The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company are detailed in Section 3 of this Prospectus. The Shares on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.

The Board 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 they can be effectively managed is limited.

(b) What Eligible Shareholders may do

The Entitlement and Acceptance Form sets out the number of New Shares you are entitled to subscribe for. Your acceptance must not exceed your Entitlement as shown on that form. If it does, your acceptance will be deemed to be for the maximum Entitlement.

You may participate in the Offer as follows:

  • (i) if you wish to accept your full Entitlement:

    • (A) take up all of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
    • (B) pay the application monies for the amount indicated on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form (in full) by BPAY or EFT, so that it is received by no later than 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date; or
  • (ii) if you only wish to accept part of your Entitlement:

    • (A) fill in the number of New Shares you wish to accept in the space provided on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
    • (B) pay the appropriate application monies, by BPAY or EFT so that is received no later than 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date; or

    • (B) pay the application monies for the amount indicated on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form plus any additional Shortfall Shares you wish to apply for (in full) by BPAY® or EFT, so that it is received by no later than 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date;

If you apply for Shortfall Shares beyond your Entitlement you are deemed to have accepted your Entitlement in full. You should note that the allocation of Shortfall Shares is at the Company's absolute discretion as per the allocation policy set out in Section 1.5. Accordingly, your application for additional Shortfall Shares may be scaled-back. The Company's decision on the number of Shortfall Shares to be allocated to you will be final; or

(iv) if you do not wish to accept all or part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything.

(c) Payment options

(i) BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • (A) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
  • (B) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the unique customer reference number (CRN) specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).

(ii) Electronic Funds Transfer

For payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Multiple acceptances must be paid separately. You should be aware of your financial institution's cut-off time and any associated fees with processing an EFT. It is your responsibility to ensure funds are submitted correctly by the Closing Date and processed in time. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:

  • (A) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
  • (B) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies.

Please ensure you use your unique payment reference number located on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. This will ensure your payment is processed correctly. Failure to do so may result in your funds not being allocated to your application and your Entitlement subsequently not being issued.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment of application monies is received by the share registry by no later than 5:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

1.5 Shortfall

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form part of the Shortfall Offer (Shortfall Offer). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date of the Offer although it is intended that the Shortfall Offer will close prompt following the Closing Date for the Offer.

The issue price for each New Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.003 being the price at which New Shares have been offered under the Offer.

Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Shortfall Shares regardless of the size of their present holding by completing the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Separate application forms may be provided, together with a copy of this Prospectus, to other investors who are not currently Shareholders who are invited to participate in the Shortfall Offer. It is possible that there may be few or no Shortfall Shares available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders. There is also no guarantee that in the event Shortfall Shares are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them.

The Directors (in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers) reserve the right to issue Shortfall Shares at their absolute discretion, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. As such, there is no guarantee that Applicants under the Shortfall Offer will receive any Shortfall Shares applied for under the Shortfall Offer.

All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Shares will be made by the Directors in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers. It is presently intended that Shortfall Shares will be allocated as follows:

  • (a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement so long as the issue of Shortfall Shares to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.99%; and then
  • (b) to other parties identified by the Directors and Joint Lead Managers, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.

The Directors and the Joint Lead Managers reserve the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject or scale back an Application for Shortfall Shares, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall Shares. In that event, Application Monies will be refunded by the Company (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act. The Company and the Joint Lead Managers will have no liability to any Applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Shares they applied for under the Shortfall Offer.

1.6 Non-renounceable

The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.

1.7 Underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten.

1.8 Joint Lead Managers

CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) (AFSL: 294848) (CPS Capital) and Kaai Pty Ltd (t/a Kaai Capital) (Corporate Authorised Representative of AFSL 518039) (Kaai Capital) have been appointed as joint lead managers to the Placement and the Shortfall Offer. The terms of the appointment of CPS Capital and Kaai Capital (together, the Joint Lead Managers) are summarised in Section 5.4 of this Prospectus.

1.9 ASX Listing

Application for Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all application monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

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 offered for subscription under this Prospectus.

1.10 Issue of Shares

The Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be allotted in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made, surplus Application Monies will be refunded without interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable.

Pending the allotment and issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

Holding statements for the Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

1.11 CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company is a participant in Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (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 Shares allotted to them under this Prospectus. 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.

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.

1.12 Risks

As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company are detailed in Section 3 of this Prospectus. The Shares on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.

1.13 Overseas Shareholders

The Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares that these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

New Zealand

2.5 Effect on control of the Company

Based on current shareholdings and Entitlements of Shareholders (including substantial Shareholders) as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding, to an amount in excess of 19.9% through applying for their Entitlements.

Further, as set out in Section 1.5, on the basis of the allocation policy, no person will acquire, through participation in the Shortfall Offer a holding of Shares of, or increase their holding to, an amount in excess of 19.9% of all the Share on issue on completion of the Offer.

2.6 Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings likely to be diluted by approximately 18% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below (assuming no Options are exercised, or Performance Rights converted into Shares prior to the Record Date):

Holder Holding asat Recorddate % atRecordDate Entitlementsunder theOffer Holdings ifOffer nottaken Up % post Offer
Shareholder 1 50,000,000 3.02% 12,500,000 50,000,000 2.20%
Shareholder 2 25,000,000 1.51% 6,250,000 25,000,000 1.10%
Shareholder 3 10,000,000 0.60% 2,500,000 10,000,000 0.44%
Shareholder 4 5,000,000 0.30% 1,250,000 5,000,000 0.22%
Shareholder 5 1,000,000 0.06% 250,000 1,000,000 0.044%

Notes: The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlements would be a lesser percentage. Percentages calculated at Record Date have been calculated on the basis of there being 1,684,582,457 Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus. Percentages post-Offer have been calculated on the basis of there being 2,268,228,071 Shares on issue on completion of the Offer (including 200,000,000 Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placement). Refer to Section 2.4 for further details of the Company's capital structure.

2.7 Details of substantial holders

Based on public information as at the date of this Prospectus, the persons who (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:

Shareholder Shares %
Pacton Gold Inc 164,035,075 9.91%
Kitara Investment Pty Ltd 107,509,078 6.50%

In the event all Entitlements are accepted there will be no change to the substantial holders on completion of the Offer. However, the percentage shareholdings of the substantial shareholders will reduce following completion of the Placement, as it is not anticipated that any substantial shareholders will be participating.

3. RISK FACTORS

3.1 Introduction

The New Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company's business.

Whilst the Directors recommend that Shareholders take up their entitlement to Shares, there are however 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 carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which the New Shares will trade (subject to satisfying ASX of the quotation requirements).

The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company's announcements and reports. However, the summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the Shares.

3.2 Company specific

(a) Future capital requirements

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Company's projects (Projects) are successfully explored, evaluated, developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities.

In order to successfully evaluate and develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may undertake additional offerings of Shares and of Securities convertible into Shares in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.

(b) Operations risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including:

(i) failure to locate or identify mineral deposits;

  • (ii) failure to achieve economic grades in exploration and forecast modelled grades, quantities and recoveries during mining;
  • (iii) operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining;
  • (iv) insufficient or unreliable infrastructure (such as power, water and transport);
  • (v) difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment;
  • (vi) mechanical failure or plant breakdown;
  • (vii) unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs;
  • (viii) adverse weather conditions; and
  • (ix) community and non-governmental organisation activities hindering operations.

In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company's operational and financial performance may be adversely affected.

(c) Government regulation and political risk in the mining industry

The Company's operating activities are subject to laws and regulations governing expropriation of property, health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine development, land and water use, prospecting, mineral production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health standards, toxic wastes, the protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.

While the Company believes that its local and foreign incorporated subsidiaries are in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations affecting its activities, future changes in applicable laws, regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Group or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's current operations or planned development projects.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right application and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations or profitability.

Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licences can be a complex, time consuming process and the Company cannot be sure whether any necessary permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Group from proceeding with any future exploration or development of its properties. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or closure of exploration, development or mining operations or material fines, penalties or other liabilities.

(d) Exploration success

Mineral exploration and project development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that further exploration on the Company's projects will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Until the Company is able to realise value from its mineral projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

(e) Drilling and exploration programs

There are operational risks associated with the Company's planned drilling and exploration programs. The planned surface sampling, drilling and exploration programs at the Company's mineral projects may be affected by a range of factors, including (but not limited to): geological and ground access conditions; unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in sampling and drilling activities; adverse weather conditions, environmental accidents, and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, and labour; mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment; prevention of access by reason of political or civil unrest, outbreak of hostilities, outbreak of disease or inability to obtain regulatory consents or approvals; terms imposed by government on development of mining projects including conditions such as equity participation, royalty rates and taxes; and risks of default or non-performance by third parties providing essential services.

No assurance can be given that planned and future exploration will be successful or that a commercial mining operation will eventuate at any of the Company's mineral projects.

(f) Tenure, access and grant of applications

Prior to any development on any of its properties, the Group must receive licences/permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There is no certainty that the Group will continue to hold all licences/permits necessary to develop or continue operating at any particular property.

Tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations in Western Australia, Serbia and Bulgaria. The Company is required to comply with land access laws, water rights acts, and environmental, and cultural laws among others. Compliance with these requirements appear manageable with consultation with the respective parties and government officials however, there is a risk that for an unforeseen reason, the Company may not be granted the required licence or permits to carry out the proposed works, which could lead to unforeseen delays or changes to proposed work programs, thus having the ability to materially impact upon the Company's operations and financial circumstances.

Under mining law within the various jurisdictions that the Company operates within, an exploration licence can be revoked upon the occurrence of specified events that are not remedied within prescribed periods. Such events include but are not limited to not conducting exploration activities in accordance with the approved programme, conducting exploration activities outside of the permit area, failing to submit annual reports, failing to undertake adequate rehabilitation works and failing to comply with occupational health and safety laws.

The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration within the jurisdictions it operates and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of granted tenements for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.

(g) Environmental and cultural protection

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment and cultural heritage protection. As with most exploration projects 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 and regulations.

Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company's ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company's operations more expensive. Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.

In particular, the Vuzel project in Bulgaria hosts an archaeological site, which is includes historical artisanal mining sites. The Company has obtained the right to explore on the license, however the right to mine may include conditions aimed at preserving certain parts of the anomaly which are deemed to be culturally significant. The Company is targeting high grade mineralisation and therefore believes that operations would still be possible on the project.

In Bulgaria, the Zlatusha project's vicinity to some inhabited areas on the eastern side of the project may result in objections to development over this area, however the majority of known prospects are not within any populated areas and further to the west of population centers.

All of the Company's Western Australian Projects are subject to restrictions that have been implemented affecting land access in areas deemed to be subject to certain protective overlays and zoning classifications, including areas containing sites of indigenous cultural heritage significance and areas of urban development. In some instances the protective overlays and zoning classifications may restrict mining and exploration activities completely. However, more commonly they will affect the procedure required for access and may impose obligations in respect of compensation, land rehabilitation and/or land impact management. This may, for example, necessitate the completion of impact assessment studies and/or require the negotiation of access or compensation arrangements with landowners and indigenous groups. Inability to access, or delays experienced in accessing, the land and unforeseen expenses associated therewith may impact the Company's activities. Any future changes to legislation and regulations, whether in response to increased political and media attention or otherwise, may impose significant obligations or restrictions on the Company which cannot be predicted.

The Company's Projects comprising granted tenure are also affected by other, relatively small areas of environmental and/or cultural protection. Notwithstanding that these protected areas overlap only a small portion of the Company's Projects, if the land affected by a protected area is found to be prospective, any restrictions imposed in relation to that protected area my result in delays to or other difficulties with the Company's activities in that area.

(h) Mine development risk

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

If the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement of hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of its projects and treatment of ore.

(i) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

  • (i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
  • (ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
  • (iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

(j) Acquisition of project data

The conduct of the Company's activities are affected by to the Company's ability to acquire data in relation to its Projects. The Company's ability to acquire project data may be affected by various factors, including:

  • (ii) language;
  • (iii) a variety of grid projection systems;
  • (iv) verification of historical hard copy records;
  • (v) digital capture of historical records; and
  • (vi) verification of historical quality control and quality assurance data.

For the majority of the Company's Projects, project data is known to exist that is currently not available to the Company. There is a risk that an inability to access this information may have a negative impact on the Company's ability to realise considered mineral potential of any or all of the Company's Projects.

(k) Insurance risks

There are significant exploration and operating risks associated with exploring for minerals, including adverse weather conditions, environmental risks and fire, all of which can result in injury to persons as well as damage to or destruction of the extraction plant, equipment, production facilities and other property. In addition, the Company's subsidiaries will be subject to liability for environmental risks such as pollution and abuse of the environment.

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, such 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 effected. In addition, in the future some or all of the Company's insurance coverage may become unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

(l) Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risk

The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its mineral projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of copper and gold commodities and the terms of any offtake agreements that the Company enters into.

The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for gold that may be mined commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, forward selling by producers and production cost levels in major mineral-producing regions. Minerals prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Metals are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company's cost base will be payable in various currencies including Serbian Dinar, Bulgarian Lev and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Serbian Dinar, Bulgarian Lev and the US dollar 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, to mitigate such risks.

3.3 General Risks

(a) Regulatory risks

The Company will incur ongoing costs and obligations associated with compliance with necessary regulations. Regulatory areas which are of particular significance to the Company include environmental compliance and rehabilitation, mining, taxation, employee relations, worker health and safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company's operations.

These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. Any failure to comply with regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on the Company's proposed business operations. In addition, changes in regulations could require extensive changes to the Company's operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

(b) Share Price

The price at which Securities are quoted on the ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no assurance that the price of the Shares will increase, even if the Company's earnings increase.

Some of the factors which may affect the price of the Shares include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks, general economic conditions including interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, inclusion in or removal from market indices, the addition or departure of key personnel, actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company's results and recommendations of analysts in relation to those results, fluctuations in the industry in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.

Other factors which may negatively affect investor sentiment and influence the Company specifically or the stock market more generally include acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities or fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars and other natural disasters.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and mining and exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return to security holders arising from the transactions the subject of this Prospectus or otherwise.

(c) Bribery, corruption, or other improper acts

The Company may incur fines or penalties, damage to its reputation or suffer other adverse consequences if its Directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, service providers or business partners violate, or are alleged to have violated, anti-bribery and corruption laws in Serbia, Bulgaria, Australia or any future jurisdictions in which the Company may operate.

The Company cannot guarantee that its internal policies and controls will be effective in each case to ensure that it is protected from reckless or criminal acts committed by its Directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, service providers or business partners that would violate Australian laws, Serbian laws or the laws of any other country in which the Company may operate in the future. Any such improper actions could subject the Company to civil or criminal investigations in Australia, Serbia or other countries that could lead to substantial civil or criminal monetary and non-monetary penalties against the Company, and could damage the Company's reputation. Even the allegation or appearance of improper or illegal actions could damage the Company's reputation and result in significant expenditures in investigating and responding to such actions and may in turn have an adverse effect on the Company's future financial performance and position.

(d) Economic

General economic conditions in Australia, Serbia, Bulgaria and any other future jurisdictions that the Company may operate in may have an adverse effect on the Company's business activities and on their ability to fund those activities. Economic factors include, but are not limited to, the introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in investor interest, inflation rates currency exchange rates and terrorism or other hostilities.

(e) Force Majeure

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

(f) Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. However, the Company notes that the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in minor disputes and litigation from time to time which do not have a material impact on the Company's assets, operations of financial situation.

(g) Enforcing liabilities against assets outside of Australia may be difficult

Some of the Company's assets are located outside of Australia. As a result, it may be difficult to enforce judgments obtained in Australian courts against those assets. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Serbia, Bulgaria or any other jurisdictions in which the Company operates would recognise or enforce judgments of Australian courts obtained against the Company based on provisions of the laws of Australia. Furthermore, because the majority of the Company's assets are or will be located outside Australia, it may also be difficult to access those assets to satisfy an award entered against the Company in Australia. As a result of all of the above, Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, the Board or controlling Shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company with assets in Australia.

(h) Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, assets or projects complementary to the Company's existing operations. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, assets and projects, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the short term operational goals and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.

(i) Policies and legislation

Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia, Serbia, Bulgaria or any other country that the Company has economic interests in may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

Serbia is a member of numerous organisations such as the United Nations, Council of Europe, Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Partnership for Peace, Organisation of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, and Central Europe Free Trade Organisation. Serbia has been a European Union membership candidate since 2012 and has been negotiating its

European Union accession since January 2014. The country is acceding to the World Trade Organisation and is a militarily neutral state.

Bulgaria became a member of the United Nations in 1955 and since 1966 has been a non-permanent member of the Security Council three times, most recently from 2002 to 2003. It was also among the founding nations of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975. Euro-Atlantic integration has been a priority since the fall of communism, although the communist leadership also had aspirations of leaving the Warsaw Pact and joining the European Communities by 1987. Bulgaria signed the European Union Treaty of Accession on 25 April 2005, and became a full member of the European Union on 1 January 2007. In addition, it has a tripartite economic and diplomatic collaboration with Romania and Greece, good ties with China and Vietnam and a historical relationship with Russia.

(j) Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is impacting on global economic markets. The nature and the extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company's Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any government or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company's operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.

The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its operations. If any of these impacts appear material prior to the close of the Offer, the Company will inform investors under a supplementary prospectus.

3.4 Speculative investment

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 Options offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the underlying Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

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

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(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.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares 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 ASX Listing Rules.

(g) 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.

(h) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospects for an initial public offering securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange.

Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

Investors are encouraged to check and monitor any further announcements made by the Company to ASX prior to securities being issued under the Offer. To do so, please refer to the Company's ASX announcements platform via www.asx.com.au.

By virtue of section 713 of the Corporations Act, the Company is entitled to issue a "transaction-specific" prospectus in respect of the Offer.

In general terms, a "transaction-specific prospectus" is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

As a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, the Company states that:

(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC; and

    • (i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and
    • (ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares the subject of this Prospectus; and
  • (b) would reasonably expect to find in this Prospectus.
