LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to invite you to participate in a renounceable pro-rata offer on a seven for one basis at an issue price of $0.001 per Share to raise up to approximately $2,062,847 (before costs). For every three New Shares for which you subscribe, you will also receive one free Quoted Option. The Quoted Options are exercisable at $0.004 each expiring 3 years from the Issue Date.
Eligible Shareholders also have the opportunity to subscribe for any Securities that are not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer pursuant to the Shortfall Offer under this Prospectus.
The Offers are being managed and underwritten by Patersons Securities.
These funds raised pursuant to the Offers are intended to be used to progress exploration on the Company's existing projects. The funds raised from the Offers are also intended to be allocated to general working capital costs incurred by the Company and for potential new acquisitions that have the capacity to add significant long-term Shareholder value.
Further details of the Offers are contained in this Prospectus which I encourage you to read carefully before deciding to invest.
For further information on the Company, you can visit the Company's website at www.clancyexploration.com. If you are in any doubt as to how to respond to the Offers, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser.
I look forward to your support and to keeping you updated on our progress.
Yours faithfully,

Nathan Featherby Director
1. Details of the Offers
1.1 The Offers
This Prospectus is primarily being issued for the following offers:
-
(a) the Entitlement Offer; and
-
(b) the Shortfall Offer.
This Prospectus is also being issued for the issue of the Placement Options and the Sub-Underwriting Commitment Options.
1.2 Entitlement Offer
The Company is making a renounceable pro-rata offer on the basis of 7 Shares for every Share held at 5:00pm (WST) on the Record Date, with 1 free attaching Quoted Option for every 3 New Shares subscribed ( Entitlement Offer ).
The Company has as at the date of this Prospectus 256,254,392 Shares on issue,
and no Options on issue.
Before the Record Date for the Entitlement Offer, the Company intends to issue 38,438,159 Shares to participants in the Placement.
Subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval at a general meeting to be convened shortly, the Company also intends to issue 12,812,720 Quoted Options to the participants in the Placement ( Placement Options ) . The Placement Options will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus and on the same terms and conditions as set out in Section 6.2.
Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a Share or Quoted Option, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share or Quoted Option. Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares proposed to be issued under the Offers are contained in Section 6.1. The Quoted Options will be granted on the terms and conditions set out in Section 6.2.
Refer to Section 4.1 for additional information regarding the effect of the Offers on the capital structure of the Company.
1.3 Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will form the Shortfall Offer.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Additional Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the prescribed section on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form designated to the Shortfall and by paying the appropriate Application Monies in accordance with the instructions set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three (3) months following the Entitlement Offer Closing
1
Date. All Shares and attaching Quoted Options issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be issued on the same terms as the Shares and Quoted Options being offered under the Entitlement Offer (including the issue price).
The Directors, in conjunction with the Underwriter, reserve the right to issue Shortfall Securities at their absolute discretion. As such there is no guarantee that Applicants under the Shortfall Offer will receive any Additional Securities, applied for under the Shortfall. The Directors, in conjunction with the Underwriter, reserves the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Securities, than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject an Application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall Securities. In that event, Application Monies will be refunded by the Company (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.
1.4 Placement
The Company has agreed to issue 38,438,159 New Shares at $0.001 per New Share (the same issue price as the Entitlement Offer) to sophisticated and professional investors introduced by Patersons Securities ( Placement Participants ). The Placement Participants are entitled to be issued 1 free attaching Quoted Option granted for every 3 New Shares subscribed for by each Placement Participant under the Placement ( Placement ). The Placement raised approximately $38,438 (before costs).
The 38,438,159 New Shares to be issued under the Placement will be issued to the Placement Participants on or about 11 April 2016. The 12,812,720 free attaching Quoted Options will be issued to the Placement Participants on or before the date specified in the proposed timetable in this Prospectus.
As the issue date of the New Shares under the Placement will be prior to the Record Date for the Entitlement Offer, the Placement Participants will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
The Placement Options are being issued with disclosure under this Prospectus in order to:
-
(a) remove any secondary sale restrictions that may otherwise attach to the Placement Options; and
-
(b) ensure a disclosure exception is available for the issue of Shares on the exercise of the Placement Options and any on-sale of those Shares in the 12 months from the date of issue.
The Placement Options are exercisable at $0.04 each expiring 3 years from the Issue Date, and will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Section 6.2.
The Company has applied for quotation of these Quoted Options on the date of this Prospectus.
The Shares issued upon exercise of the Placement Options will be fully paid and will rank equally with Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares is set out in Section 6.1.
2
1.5 Purpose of the Offer and Use of Funds

| Total | $2,062,847 | 100% |
Note:
- Refer to Section 6.12 of this Prospectus for further details relating to the estimated expenses of the Offers.
The above is a statement of current intentions at the date of this Prospectus. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.
1.6 Opening and Closing Dates
For the Entitlement Offer, the Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms from the Record Date in determining Eligible Shareholders' entitlements until 5:00pm WST on 2 May 2016 or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules ( Entitlement Offer Closing Date ).
The Shortfall Offer will remain open after the Entitlement Offer Closing Date.
1.7
Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Offers. As the Offers are underwritten it is anticipated that the Offers will only be undersubscribed if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated (refer to Section 3 for further details relating to the Underwriting Agreement).
1.8
Underwriting of Offers
Patersons Securities has been appointed as the underwriter ( Underwriter ) to fully underwrite the Offers for up to $2,062,847 worth of Shares and attaching Quoted Options (being 2,062,847,857 Shares and 687,615,952 Quoted Options) ( Underwritten Amount ).
3
In consideration for the Underwriter’s underwriting obligations, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter an underwriting fee of 6% (plus GST) of the total gross amount raised under the Entitlement Offer (being $123,771).
A conditional formal underwriting agreement, dated 8 April 2016, has been agreed between the Underwriter and the Company ( Underwriting Agreement ). A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is contained in Section 3.
1.9 Sub-Underwriting Commitment Options
The Company has also agreed to issue an aggregate of 687,615,952 Quoted Options exercisable at $0.004 each expiring 3 years from the Issue Date to the sub-underwriters of the Entitlement Offer arranged by the Underwriter ( Sub-Underwriting Commitment Options ).
The issue of the Sub-Underwriter Commitment Options is subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, which will be sought at a general meeting to be convened shortly.
1.10 Substantial Shareholders
As at the date of the Prospectus, the Company has the following substantial Shareholders:
| Substantial Shareholder | Number of Shares | Voting power |
|---|---|---|
| Macquarie Holdings No 2 Pty Ltd | 50,000,000 | 19.51% |
| Gold Fields Ltd | 17,764,783 | 6.93% |
| Alexander Angelopoulos | 15,476,469 | 6.04% |
| Motte & Bailey as trustee of the Bailey Superannuation Fund |
14,731,500 | 5.75% |
1.11 Effect of the Offers on control of the Company
Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a person, unless an exception applies, from increasing their voting power in the Company:
-
(a) from 20% or below to above 20%; or
-
(b) from a starting point of above 20% and below 90%.
One of the exceptions to section 606(1) of the Corporations Act is where that increase occurs as a result of taking up Entitlements under a 'rights issue'. The Company intends that the Entitlement Offer will fall within this exception.
However, an increase in voting power that occurs as a result of acquiring Shares under the Shortfall Offer will not fall within that exception. Accordingly, if you are an Eligible Shareholder who wishes to apply for Shortfall Securities, it is your responsibility to ensure that if you are issued with Shares under the Shortfall
4
Offer, and exercise the attached Quoted Options, you will not be in breach of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act. If you are in any doubt as to the consequences of applying for Shares and attached Quoted Options under the Shortfall Offer, you should seek independent legal advice. Further, there is no exception applicable to the acquisition of Shares on the exercise of Quoted Options.
As at the date of this Prospectus, Macquarie Holdings hold a relevant interest in 50,000,000 Shares, giving them a voting power of 19.51%. The Company will scale back any application by Macquarie Holdings under the Shortfall Offer to ensure that there is no breach of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act.
It is not anticipated that either the issue of Shares under the Placement, or the exercise of any of the Placement Options will have any effect on the control of the Company.
The Underwriter presently has no Shares in the Company, and it has indicated that it has no intention of acquiring Shares in the Company prior to the Record Date. Further, the Underwriter has advised the Company that the Underwriter has entered into binding sub-underwriting agreements for the total Underwritten Amount. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the Underwriter will be obliged to subscribe for the Shortfall, as these obligations are intended to be passed on to the sub-underwriters, subject to there being a breach of the sub-underwriting agreements.
The table below sets out the Underwriter’s potential relevant interest in Shares in several scenarios in the unlikely event that the sub-underwriting agreements are breached and the Underwriter is required to subscribe for the Shortfall. The Underwriter is not a related party of the Company for the purpose of the Corporations Act.
| Event | Shares issued to the Underwriter |
Total Shares on issue |
Voting power of the Underwriter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date of Prospectus | 0 | 256,254,392 | 0% |
| After issue of New Shares under Placement |
0 | 294,692,551 | 0% |
| Completion of Entitlement Offer | |||
| Fully subscribed |
0 | 2,357,540,408 | 0% |
| 75% subscribed |
515,711,964 | 2,357,540,408 | 22% |
| 50% subscribed |
1,031,423,929 | 2,357,540,408 | 44% |
| 0% subscribed |
2,062,847,857 | 2,357,540,408 | 88% |
Note: The table above does not take into consideration the Quoted Options and the dilution effect that the exercise of any of the Quoted Options would have on the Shareholders.
5
The number of Shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offers. However, it is unlikely that no Eligible Shareholders will take up Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.
The underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by Eligible Shareholders.
The Underwriter has advised the Company that no sub-underwriter may potentially hold voting power of 20% or above as a result of their respective subunderwriting agreements. At a Shareholder meeting to be convened shortly, resolutions will be put to Shareholders to approve Mr Nathan Featherby (or his nominee) participating in the Shortfall Offer to a maximum amount of 200,000,000 New Shares and 66,666,667 attaching Quoted Options.
Eligible Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted. Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:
| Holder | Holding as at Record Date |
% at Record Date |
Entitlements under Entitlement Offer |
Holdings if Entitlement not taken up |
% post Offers only |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 24,000,000 | 8.14% | 168,000,000 | 24,000,000 | 1.02% |
| Shareholder 2 | 12,000,000 | 4.07% | 84,000,000 | 12,000,000 | 0.51% |
| Shareholder 3 | 6,000,000 | 2.04% | 42,000,000 | 6,000,000 | 0.25% |
| Shareholder 4 | 3,000,000 | 1.02% | 21,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 0.13% |
| Shareholder 5 | 1,500,000 | 0.51% | 10,500,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.06% |
Notes:
-
The dilution 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 is not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
-
The table above does not take into consideration the Quoted Options and the dilution effect that the exercise of any of the Quoted Options would have on the Shareholders.
1.12 Rights trading
The rights under the Entitlement Offer are renounceable. Accordingly, there will be trading of rights on ASX and you may dispose of your rights to subscribe for Securities to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to Shares under the Entitlement Offer by the Entitlement Offer Closing Date, the Entitlement Offer to you will lapse.
6
1.13 Entitlement and Acceptance Form
Acceptance of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Shares and Quoted Options accepted by the Company. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of Shares and Quoted Options.
If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors’ decision as to whether to treat the Acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, is final.
The Company will send this Prospectus, together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, to all Eligible Shareholders.
1.14
Issue Date and dispatch
All Shares under the Offers, and Quoted Options under the Entitlement Offer and Placement Offer, are expected to be issued on or before the date specified in the proposed timetable in this Prospectus.
Security holder statements will be dispatched at the end of the calendar month following the issue of the Shares and Quoted Options under the Offers and Placement Offer.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares. Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.
1.15
Application Monies held on trust
All Application Monies received for the Shares under the Offers will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the Shares are issued under the relevant Offer. All Application Monies received in respect of an Offer will be returned (without interest) if the Shares under the relevant Offer are not issued.
1.16 ASX quotation
Application has been or will be made for the official quotation of the Shares and Quoted Options offered by this Prospectus. If permission is not granted by ASX for the official quotation of the Shares and Quoted Options offered by this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as the ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.
1.17 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
7
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares and Quoted Options.
If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Limited will send you a CHESS
statement.
The CHESS statement will specify the number of Shares and Quoted Options issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares and Quoted Options.
If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be despatched by Security Transfer Registrars Pty Ltd and will contain the number of Shares and Quoted Options issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
1.18 Ineligible Foreign Shareholders
No Offers will be made to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. This Prospectus, and any accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, do not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer of Shares and attaching Quoted Options 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 or the Shares and attaching Quoted Options under the Offers.
The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.
Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to accept or deal with their Entitlement. The return of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form from a Shareholder with a registered address outside Australia will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by that Shareholder that all relevant approvals have been obtained and that the Company may legally issue the Shares and Quoted Options to that Shareholder.
1.19 New Zealand offer restrictions
The Shares and Quoted Options are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand at the Record Date.
This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain
8
all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.
1.20 Nominee
Patersons Securities has been appointed as the Company’s nominee for Ineligible Foreign Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.7 ( Nominee ).
Pursuant to the arrangement with the Nominee, the Company will transfer to the Nominee the Entitlements that would otherwise be issued to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and the Nominee will then sell those Entitlements and provide the proceeds of those sales (net of expenses) to the Company (or the Share Registry). The Company will then distribute to each of those Ineligible Foreign Shareholders their proportion of the proceeds of the sale net of expenses.
The Company will pay the Nominee a brokerage fee of $1,000 or 1.5% on the total gross dollar value of all Entitlements sold, whichever is greater.
The Nominee will remit the net proceeds (i.e. sale proceeds less brokerage and applicable GST) to either the Company (or the Company's share registry) for ultimate pro rata distribution to the Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. The Nominee will not and not be required to individually correspond on any matter with any of the Company’s Ineligible Foreign Shareholders.
The Company has agreed to take full responsibility and to unconditionally and irrevocably indemnify and keep indemnified and hold harmless the Nominee, together with its associates and related companies, its directors, agents and staff (collectively referred to as the Indemnified Parties ) against any and all liabilities, losses of any description incurred in the Nominee's role as nominee (including any loss of profit or losses or costs incurred in preparation for or involvement in connection with any prosecution, investigation, enquiry or hearing by ASIC, ASX or any governmental authority or agency), demands, damages, penalties, proceedings (whether civil or criminal), costs, fees or expenses (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) of any kind whatsoever which may be incurred, suffered, paid or liable to be paid by an Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction directly or indirectly arising out of or in respect of the Nominee's role of acting as nominee as detailed herein.
1.21

The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, Applicants should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.

Basis of Preparation
The above pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared in accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 230: Disclosing non-IFRS Pro Forma Financial Information (issued December 2011).
The pro forma balance consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 has been extracted from the audited financial report of the Company as at 30 June 2015. The consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015 has been extracted from the 31 December 2015 interim financial report, which was subject to a review. The pro forma consolidated financial position is based off the 31 December 2015 consolidated financial position adjusted for the transactions associated with the Placement and the Offers. It assumes that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed and that the Offers are completed on 31 December 2015.
Other than in the ordinary course of business, there have been no other material transactions between that date and the date of this Prospectus.
21
Assumptions for Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position set out above represents the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015 adjusted for the following transactions:
-
(a) the placement of 38,438,159 New Shares at an issue price of $0.001 per share to raise a total of $38,438 together with 12,812,720 Quoted Options;
-
(b) the payment of estimated cash costs in relation to the Placement of $3,960;
-
(c) the issue of approximately 2,062,847,857 New Shares at an issue price of $0.001 per share to raise a total of $2,062,847 together with 687,615,952 Quoted Options, issued in accordance with this Prospectus;
-
(d) the Quoted Options have an assessed value of nil, using the binomial tree model of option valuation;
-
(e) payment of estimated cash costs in relation to the Offers of $205,297; and
-
(f) the issue of 687,615,952 Quoted Options to the Sub-Underwriters.
For the binomial tree valuation of the Quoted Options, the following inputs were used:
-
(a) exercise price of $0.004 per share;
-
(b) expiry date of 30 April 2019;
-
(c) the underlying asset price based on the issue price of $0.001 per share;
-
(d) a continuously compounding risk free rate of 2.5%;
-
(e) a volatility factor of 24%; and
-
(f) no expected dividend yield.
If an underlying asset price of $0.002 per share is assumed, and all other inputs remain unchanged, the assessed value of the Quoted Options using the binomial tree valuation method would increase from nil to $0.00002 each.
4.3 Market price of Shares
The latest available market sale price of the Shares on the ASX prior to the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC was $0.010 per Share on 6 April 2016.
The highest and lowest market sale prices of the Shares on the ASX during the three months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC and the respective dates of those sales were:
Lowest: $0.007 on 24 February 2016
22
$0.012 on 3 February 2016
Highest:
4.4 Dividend Policy
The Directors are not able to say when and if dividends will be paid in the future, as the payment of any dividends will depend on the future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.

5. Risk Factors
Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company's future performance. The Company and its controlled entities have implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however, some are outside its control.
The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and risks of investing in the Company. Potential investors should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus.
The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
5.1 Risks specific to the Company
(a) Going concern risk
The Directors have determined that future equity raisings or debt financing arrangements may be required to assist the funding of the Company’s activities to meet the Company’s objectives. There is no certainty that these will be successfully completed to provide adequate working capital for the Company.
In the event that the Offers are not completed successfully, or the Company is unable to arrange appropriate financing over the next two to three months, there is some uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern, which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities and the Company may not be able to continue in its present form.
(b) Future capital needs
Further funding may be required by the Company to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all.
The Company’s ability to raise further capital within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including prospectivity of projects (existing and future), the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining, share market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.
No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to develop its projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
24
Any additional equity financing will dilute Shareholders and debt financing, if available, may restrict the Company’s financing and operating activities.
(c) Reliance on key management
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel employed or engaged by the Company. Loss of such personnel may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company.
The Board is aware of the need to have sufficient management to properly supervise the exploration and (if successful) for the development of the Company's projects.
(d) Joint venture risks
The Company is currently, and may in the future become a party to joint venture agreements governing the exploration and development of its projects. There is a risk that one of the Company’s joint venture partners may default in their joint venture obligations or not act in the best interests of the joint venture. This may have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.
5.2 Mining Industry Risks
(a) Metals and currency price volatility
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.
The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for gold, copper and other metals 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 Australian dollars, and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar 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.
25
(b) Operating risk
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits; failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining; operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining; difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment; mechanical failure or plant breakdown; unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs; adverse weather conditions; industrial and environmental accidents; industrial disputes; and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Unless and until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(c)
Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.
(d) Exploration risk
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of acquired projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its projects, a reduction in the case reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its projects.
(e) Payment obligations
Pursuant to the licences comprising the Company's projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, licence holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the
26
minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the licence liable to be cancelled or its size reduced. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in its projects.
(f) Title risk and native title
Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licenses' or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if license conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest; there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.
(g) Environmental risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to state and federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. 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 field 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.
In this regard, government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.
5.3 General Risks
(a) Market conditions and other economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and any future development activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
The 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.
27
Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(b) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Prospectus. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.
(c) Litigation risks
Litigation risks to the Company include, but are not limited to, employee claims, contractual claims, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims, regulatory disputes, legal actions from special interest groups, as well as third party damage or losses resulting from operations.
(d) Insurance
The Company will, where possible and economically practicable, endeavour to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover.
5.4 Investment speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus 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 highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
