$\overline{\mathbf{4}}$ DETAILS OF THE OFFER
$4.1$ The Issue
A non-renounceable pro rata entitlements issue to Shareholders of approximately 54,756,724 New Shares and 54,756,724 New Options on the basis of one New Share and one New Option for every two Existing Shares held as at the Record Date at an issue price of \$0.08 (8 cents) each to raise approximately \$4,380,538 before issue costs.
$4.2$ Underwriting
The Issue is fully underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited and Soaring Securities Pty Limited. A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is set out in Section 9 of the Prospectus.
4.3 Entitlement to Rights Issue
Shareholders who are on the Company's share register at the close of business on the Record Date, being 5.00 pm (EST) on 12 May 2011 are eligible to participate in the Offer.
Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares and New Options. For this purpose, holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements. If the Company considers that holdings have been split to take advantage of rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Entitlements.
An Application Form setting out your Entitlement to New Shares and New Options accompanies this Prospectus. Eligible Shareholders may apply for Additional New Securities in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Prospectus.
44 Applying for Additional New Securities
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Additional New Securities regardless of the size of their present holding. Entitlements not taken up may become available as Additional New Securities. It is possible that there will be few or no Additional New Securities available for issue. It is an express term of the Offer that Applicants for Additional New Securities will be bound to accept a lesser number of Additional New Securities allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated to them, excess Application Money will be refunded without interest. The Company and the Joint Underwriters reserve the right to scale back any applications for Additional New Securities in their absolute discretion.
4.5 Acceptances
This Offer may be accepted in whole or in part prior to 5.00pm (EST) on 30 May 2011 (the Closing Date) subject to the rights of the Company and the Joint Underwriter to extend the Offer period or close the Offer early. The Company reserves the right to cancel the Rights Issue at any time prior to allotment. Instructions for accepting your Entitlement are set out in Section 6 and on the Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus.
Payment instructions are set out on the Application Form, which includes the option of electronic payment using BPay and the personalised customer reference number shown on your Application Form which is required to identify your holding. If you make your payment using BPay, you do not need to return the Application Form. If applying by BPay, you need to ensure that your payment is received by no later than 5.00pm (EST) on
30 May 2011. Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement early cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and therefore should take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through BPay are received by the Closing Date.
4.6 Allotment and Application Money
All Eligible Shareholders who accept the Offer will receive their Entitlement in full. New Shares and New Options will be issued only after all Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Shares and New Options to be quoted. It is expected that New Shares and New Options will be issued on 7 June 2011 and trading of the New Shares and New Options on ASX is expected to commence on 8 June 2011. All Application Money received before New Shares and New Options are issued will be held in a special purpose account. After Application Money is refunded (if required) and New Shares and New Options are issued to Applicants, the balance of funds in the account plus accrued interest will be received by the Company. If the New Shares and New Options are not quoted by ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will refund all Application Money in full.
$4.7$ Issue Outside Australia and New Zealand
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Issue. Residents of countries outside Australia should consult their professional adviser as to whether any government or other consents are required, or whether any formalities need to be observed should they wish to make an Application for Securities on the basis of this Prospectus. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities or the Issue or otherwise to permit an offering of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand.
4.8 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders
The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand because of the cost of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand. The Prospectus is sent to those Shareholders for information only. The Entitlement of those Shareholders will form part of the Shortfall and be dealt with in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement. The Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand). Members of the public in New Zealand who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any New Shares and New Options. Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Application Form to any person outside Australia (other than to Eligible Shareholders).

If the amount of your cheque(s) or bank draft(s) for Application Monies (or the amount for which those cheque(s) or bank draft(s) clear in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of Securities you have applied for in your Application Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower number of Securities as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of Securities in your Application Form) or your Application may be rejected.

Entitlements to Securities not accepted will form part of the Shortfall Securities which will be dealt with by the Joint Underwriters in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, and you will receive no benefit.
It is therefore important that, if you wish to receive a benefit, you take action to accept your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions above and on the back of the accompanying Application Form.

Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
$7.2$ Rights attaching to New Options
The rights attaching to New Options are regulated by the Constitution, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.
The following is a summary of the key terms of the New Options:
- $(a)$ The Company will, in accordance with Listing Rule 2.8, make application to have the New Options listed for Official Quotation, under the trading symbol CLYO.
- $(b)$ Each New Option will have an exercise price of \$0.15 (Exercise Price).
- $(c)$ Each New Option will automatically lapse if not exercised on or before 31 July 2013 (Expiry Date).
- $(d)$ Each New Option shall entitle the holder to subscribe for and be allotted one ordinary share in the capital of the Company upon exercise of the New Option and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price.
- A New Option may be exercised by the option holder at any time prior to the $(e)$ Expiry Date by sending a completed and signed notice of exercise, together with the payment of the Exercise Price and the certificate for the New Options, to the Company. The New Options may be exercised in whole or in part.
- $(f)$ A notice of exercise is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cash or cleared funds.
- Subject to any restrictions in the Listing Rules, within 3 Business Days of receipt of $(g)$ a properly executed notice of exercise and the required exercise moneys, the number of ordinary shares specified in the notice will be allotted.
-
$(h)$ Ordinary shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of the New Options will rank equally with the then issued ordinary shares of the Company.
-
$(i)$ The Company undertakes to apply for official quotation by the ASX of all ordinary shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of any Options, within 10 Business Days of the date of allotment of those new ordinary shares, provided that the Company is only required to apply for official quotation by the ASX if lots of 100,000 New Options are exercised in aggregate.
- $(i)$ There will be no participating entitlements inherent in the New Options to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options. Prior to any new pro rata issue of securities to Shareholders, holders of New Options will be notified by the Company and will be afforded 6 Business Days before the relevant record date (to determine entitlements to the issue), to exercise the New Options.
- $(k)$ In the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction, cancellation or return) of the issued capital of the Company before the expiry of any New Options, all rights of the option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
- $(1)$ If from time to time before the expiry of the New Options the Company makes an issue of ordinary shares to shareholders by way of a bonus issue, other than in lieu of a dividend payment, then upon exercise of a New Option the option holder will be entitled to have issued to it (in addition to the ordinary shares which it is otherwise entitled to have issued to it upon such exercise) additional ordinary shares in the Company. The number of additional ordinary shares is the number of ordinary shares which would have been issued to the option holder if the New Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
- $(m)$ The New Options do not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price, or a change to the number of underlying securities over which it can be exercised, other than under paragraphs (k) and (l) above.
8 RISK FACTORS
The New Shares and New Options offered by this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the business activities of the Company. Whilst the Directors recommend the Offer, potential investors should consider the risk factors described in this Section, together with the information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus before deciding whether the New Shares and New Options offered are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances. The risk factors described in this Section are not exhaustive and potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and if in any doubt consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to participate in the Offer.
$8.1$ General Economic Risks and Business Climate
Share market conditions may affect the New Shares regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
- $(a)$ general economic outlook:
- $(b)$ movements in international stock markets;
- $(c)$ movements in or outlook on interest rates and inflation rates;
- $(d)$ currency fluctuations;
- commodity prices; $(e)$
- $(f)$ trends in the mining industry;
- $\left( \mathbf{r} \right)$ changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and
- $(h)$ the demand and supply for capital.
Commodity prices are influenced by physical and investment demand for those commodities. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence individual projects in which the Company has an interest.
$8.2$ Exploration, Development, Mining and Processing Risks
Potential investors should understand that minerals exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking.
There can be no assurance that the Company's exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The Company does have very limited operating history, although it should be noted that the Company's Directors have significant operational experience. No assurances can be given that the Company's prospects and projects will achieve commercial viability through successful exploration, development and/or production. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
The business of mineral exploration, project development and mining by its nature contains elements of inherent risk. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:
$(a)$ the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore reserves;
- $(b)$ successful conclusions to bankable feasibility studies;
- $(c)$ access to adequate capital for project development;
- $(d)$ design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets;
- $(e)$ securing and maintaining title to tenements and compliance with the terms of those tenements:
- $(f)$ obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining; and
- $(g)$ access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Adverse weather conditions over a prolonged period can adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.
Mining is an industry which has become subject to increasing legislative regulation including but not limited to environmental responsibility and liability. The potential for liability is an ever present risk. The use and disposal of chemicals in the mining industry is under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. The introduction of new laws and regulations or changes to underlying policy may adversely impact on the operations of the Company.
8.3 Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises certain rights of indigenous Australians over land and water where those rights have not been extinguished. These rights, where they exist, may impact on the ability of the Company to carry out exploration or obtain mining tenements. In applying for certain mining tenements, the Company must observe the provisions of the Native Title legislation (where applicable) and Aboriginal Heritage legislation which protects Aboriginal sites.
Risks Specific to the Company Projects and Investments 8.4
The Company's Projects represent the main business activity and focus of the Company. Risks specific to these Projects include the following:
Operating Risks
The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:
- $(a)$ geological conditions;
- $(b)$ limitations on activities due to rural activities, seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity;
- $(c)$ alterations to joint venture programs and budgets;
-
$(d)$ unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling and production activities;
-
$(e)$ mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment; adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, acts of terrorism or political or civil unrest and other force majeure events;
- $(f)$ occupational health and safety in a potentially dangerous workplace;
- $(g)$ industrial action, disputation or disruptions;
- unavailability of aircraft or drilling equipment to undertake airborne $(h)$ electromagnetic and other geological and geophysical investigations;
- $(i)$ shortages or unavailability of manpower or appropriately skilled manpower;
- $(i)$ unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and
- $(k)$ prevention or restriction of access by reason of political unrest, outbreak of hostilities, and inability to obtain consents or approvals.
Commodity Prices
Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world-wide and regional supply and demand for the specific commodity, commodity trading on the futures markets, general world economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors on both a regional and global basis. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company's exploration, project development and production plans and activities, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
Currency
The USD/AUD exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include Australia's and the USA's economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company's exploration, project development and production plans and activities, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
Environment
The Company's projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mining projects, these projects would be expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed.
The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and industry standards. Areas disturbed by the Company's activities will be rehabilitated as required by applicable laws and regulations.
Title
The exploration licences comprising some of the tenements which the Company holds or in which it has an interest may be the subject of applications for extension in the future.
If a tenement is not extended, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to discover and/or develop any mineral resources on that tenement.
In addition, the Company cannot guarantee that those tenements that are applications for tenements will ultimately be granted in whole or in part.
Access permission has been obtained in respect of some but not all of the Company's tenements. Access permission may not be granted in respect of those tenements for which the Company has not already obtained access permission.
Insurance Risks
The Company intends to adequately insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance of all risks associated with minerals exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive. There is a risk that insurance premiums may increase to a level where the Company considers it is unreasonable or not in its interests to maintain insurance cover or not to a level of coverage which is in accordance with industry practice. The Company will insure the risks it considers appropriate for the Company's need and for its circumstances.
Change in Government Policy and Legislation
The Company's business may be affected by new and changing Government policies, including taxation, royalties, environmental regulation, land access and economic regulation relating to the minerals industry.
Joint Venture Parties and Contractors
The Directors are unable to predict the risk of the financial failure or default by a participant in the joint ventures to which the Company is currently a party, or any joint venture to which the Company may become a party or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in its exploration activities.
Contractual Risks
The Company's interests in some of its tenements and rights are governed by virtue of the Company having contractual rights including under joint venture agreements.
As in any contractual relationship, the ability of the Company to ultimately benefit is dependent upon the Company's ability to comply with its obligations, and the relevant counterparty complying with its contractual obligations to deliver title.
Future Funding
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of this Offer will be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.
Should the Company require additional funding there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional finance, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and its financial condition and performance.
Dilution
Any additional equity issued to raise additional capital or issued in consideration for services provided to the Company will result in dilution of existing shareholders' shareholding in the Company.
$\mathbf{9}$ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
$9.1$ Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in Section 111 AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities. The Securities which will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are in the same class of Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the 12 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus". In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
- $(a)$ it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
- $(b)$ copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in Section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
- it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any $(c)$ person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
- $(i)$ the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 being the last financial statements for a financial year of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
- $(ii)$ any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the financial statements
referred to in paragraph (i) above on 31 March 2011 until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the lodgement of the 2010 audited financial statements on 31 March 2011:
| Date | Description of Announcement | |
|---|---|---|
| 28 April 2011 | Quarterly Activities Report | |
| 28 April 2011 | Notice of Annual General Meeting | |
| 28 April 2011 | Quarterly Cashflow Report | |
| 28 April 2011 | Annual Report to Shareholders | |
| 29 April 2011 | Trading Halt |
ASX maintains files containing publicly available information for all listed companies. The Company's file is available for inspection at ASX during normal office hours.
$9.2$ ASX listing
The Company participates in CHESS and will despatch holding statements in lieu of share certificates that set out the number of New Shares and New Options issued to each successful Applicant under this Prospectus.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation before trading in the New Shares and New Options. Applicants who sell New Shares and New Options before they receive their statements do so at their own risk.
9.3 Taxation
The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to give advice regarding the taxation consequence associated with the acquisition, sale, exercise or non-exercise of Rights, or the subsequent disposal of any New Shares or New Options subscribed for under this Prospectus. The Directors recommend that all Eligible Shareholders consult their own independent professional tax advisers.
9.4 Material Contracts
The Directors consider that the material contracts described below and elsewhere in this Prospectus are the contracts which an investor would reasonably regard as material and which investors and their professional advisers would reasonably expect to find described in this Prospectus for the purpose of making an informed assessment of the Offer.
The following is a summary only of the material contracts and their substantive terms.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company has executed an underwriting agreement dated on or about the date of this Prospectus, between the Joint Underwriters and the Company ("Underwriting Agreement"). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Joint Underwriters will be
entitled to a management fee of 4.5% of the gross amount raised and 10 million New Options and an underwriting fee equalling 2.5% of the amount underwritten.
The Joint Underwriters will pay all sub-underwriting commissions out of its fees. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Joint Underwriters may terminate the Underwriting Agreement and be relieved of its obligations if usual and appropriate termination events occur before the payment date in the Underwriting Agreement and most notably, if one of the following events occurs and the Joint Underwriters holds the opinion, acting reasonably, that the event will have a Material Adverse Effect on the Offer:
- $(a)$ the All Ordinaries Index as published by ASX is at any time after the date of the Underwriting Agreement 15% or more below its level as at the close of business on 2 May 2011; and
- $(b)$ Shares finish trading on the ASX on any three consecutive days with a closing price that is less than \$0.08;
- $(c)$ there is an outbreak of hostilities or a material escalation of hostilities (whether or not war has been declared) after the date of the Underwriting Agreement involving one or more of Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, India, Pakistan, the Peoples Republic of China, Israel or any member of the European Union;
- $(d)$ an event occurs which gives rise to a Material Adverse Effect or any material adverse change or any development including a prospective material adverse change after the date of the Underwriting Agreement in the assets, liabilities, financial position, trading results, profits, forecasts, losses, prospects, business or operations of the Company.
"Material Adverse Effect" means a material adverse effect on the outcome of the Offer or on the subsequent market for the New Shares (including, without limitation, matters likely to have a material adverse effect on a decision of an investor to invest in New Shares); or, a material adverse effect on the assets, condition, trading or financial position, performance, profits and losses, results, prospects, business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; or, the Underwriters' obligations under the Underwriting Agreement becoming materially more onerous than those which exist at the date of this Agreement; or, a material adverse effect on the tax position of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
9.5 Possible Change in Control of the Company
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Joint Underwriters hold no securities or Relevant Interest in the Company. The Joint Underwriters are not related parties of the Company as defined in section 228 of the Corporations Act.
The Joint Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting agreements with subunderwriters who are clients of the Joint Underwriters (Sub-underwriter) and the Offer is fully sub-underwritten. In the event that Shareholders do not take up some or all of their Entitlements under the Offer, then a shortfall will result and the Sub-underwriters will be entitled to subscribe for the Shortfall.
As the Offer is fully sub-underwritten, the Joint Underwriters will not acquire voting power in the Company as the result of a shortfall, unless they or their Associates acquire a Relevant Interest in the Company by subscribing for any of the Shortfall. In the unlikely event that there is a 100% shortfall and each Sub-underwriter subscribes for its full entitlement to the Shortfall, no Sub-underwriter will acquire voting power in the Company of more than 20%.
$9.6$ Directors' Interests
Other than as set out below or elsewhere in this Prospectus, no Director nor any firm in which such a Director is a partner, has or had within 2 years before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC, any interest in:
- $(a)$ the formation or promotion of the Company;
- $(b)$ property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion or the issue of Securities pursuant to this Prospectus; or
- $(c)$ the issue of Securities pursuant to this Prospectus,
and no amounts have been paid or agreed to be paid (in cash or Shares or otherwise) to any Director or to any firm in which any such Director is a partner, either to induce him to become, or to qualify him as, a Director or otherwise for services rendered by him or by the firm in connection with the formation or promotion of the Company or issue of Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
