Overseas shareholders

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

3113-13/3039631

New Zealand

This offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and regulations made under that Act. In New Zealand, this is subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.

This Offer and the content of the offer document are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the regulations made under that Act set out how the offer must be made.

There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.

The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.

Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to this offer. If you need to make a complaint about this offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz). The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.

The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

The offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.

If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand.

Nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians may not submit an Application Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia and New Zealand without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

5. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFER

5.1 Purpose and Effect of the Offer

The primary purpose of the Offer is to reward Expired Optionsholders for their ongoing commitment and loyalty to the Company.

The principal effect of the Offer, assuming all New Unlisted Options offered under the Prospectus are issued, will be to:

  • (a) increase the number of Options on issue by up to 64,605,968 Options; and

  • (b) decrease cash reserves by $17,539 after deducting the expenses of the Offer.

If all New Unlisted Options issued under the Offer are exercised in the future, the Company will receive an additional $710,666.

5.2

Financial Effect

The New Unlisted Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued for $0.0001 each (i.e. the New Unlisted Options will be issued for nominal cash consideration).

The expenses of the Offer (exceeding any amount raised under the Offer) will be met from the Company’s existing cash reserves. Accordingly, the Offer will have an effect on the Company’s financial position, being the decrease in the Company’s existing cash reserves.

All proceeds raised under the Offer will be applied to the expenses of the Offer as set out in Section 8.7.

ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

  • (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Unlisted Options.

(h)

Shares issued on exercise

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Unlisted Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Unlisted Options without exercising the New Unlisted Options.

(l) Change in exercise price

A New Unlisted Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Unlisted Option can be exercised.

(m)

Transferability

The New Unlisted Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.

6.2 Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares being the underlying securities of the New Unlisted Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute

13

3113-13/3039631

a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c)

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

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.

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

14

3113-13/3039631

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 sanction of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, 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 sanction of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees on 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 issued on exercise of the New Unlisted Options will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company 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 and the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Future increase in capital

The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(h) Variation of rights

Under 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 may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied or abrogated in any way with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

15

3113-13/3039631

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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.

16

3113-13/3039631

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The New Unlisted Options offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Unlisted Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

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

7.2 Company specific

(a) Exploration risk

Mineral exploration by its nature is a high risk activity and there can be no guarantee of exploration success on the Company's projects. There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Further, exploration involves certain operating hazards, such as failure and or breakdown of equipment, adverse geological, seismic and geotechnical conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, adverse weather conditions, pollution and other environmental hazards and risks.

(b) Budget risk

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.

(c) Additional requirements for capital

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including the results of future exploration and business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and resources should be adequate to fund its obligations in respect of its exploration work program, business development activities and other objectives for the next 12 months. Should the Company's exploration program be successful or the Company identify additional projects it may wish to pursue, additional funds will be required to advance the Company's projects.

Additional funding may be raised by the Company via the issues of equity, debt or a combination of debt and equity or asset sales. Any

17

3113-13/3039631

additional equity financing will dilute Shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its programs or enter into joint venture arrangements to reduce expenditure and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities. Unfavourable market conditions may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise additional funding regardless of the Company's operating performance.

(d)

New projects and acquisitions and joint ventures

The Company will continue to actively pursue and assess, other new business opportunities particularly those in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, or direct equity participation.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess, at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from other projects and/or the raising of additional capital (if available).

Furthermore, any new project or business acquisition may change the risk profile of the Company, particularly if the new project is located in another jurisdiction, involves a new commodity and/or changes the Company's capital/funding requirements.

Should the Company propose or complete the acquisition of a new project or business activity, investors should re-assess their investment in the Company in light of the new project/business activity.

(e)

Resources estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when originally made may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.

In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate, and whilst the Company will employ industry-standard techniques including compliance with the JORC Code to reduce the resource estimation risk, there is no assurance that this approach will alter the risk. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, resource estimates may change. This may result in alterations to mining and development plans which may in turn adversely affect the Company.

(f) Risk of not obtaining required permits

The future operations of the Company, including in respect of the Mt Mansbridge HREE & Ni-Cu-Co-PGE, Mt. Mansbridge and Koonenberry Gold Projects, may require permits from various governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, export, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, land use, environmental

18

3113-13/3039631

protections, mine safety and other matters. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or commence construction or operation of metals extraction facilities on its projects or any other projects the Company may acquire in the future. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from commencing or continuing with mining operations, or proceeding with any future exploration or development of its projects or other projects the Company may acquire in the future.

(g)

Joint venture risk

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.

There can be no certainty that the parties will be able to settle the formal documentation in respect thereof. Failure to settle the terms of the formal documentation may result in termination of the joint venture and/or a potential dispute resolution process.

(h)

Commodity price volatility

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company including the international supply and demand for commodities, the quality of the minerals produced, actions taken by governments, forward selling activities and other macroeconomic factors.

(i)

Environmental risk

The Company's projects are subject to rules and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company's projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications.

7.3 Legal and Tax Risks

(a) Litigation

The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even

19

3113-13/3039631

with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject to, could have a material effect on the Company’s operations, financial position, and the value of the Company’s securities.

(b)

Environmental Regulation

The Company’s operations are subject to national and international laws and regulations due to those operations involving environmentally hazardous activities. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality and provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to remediate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted.

Significant liability could be imposed on the Company for environmental damage caused by the Company or previous owners of the projects’ tenements, including damages, clean-up costs and penalties for noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company proposes to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and where possible, by carrying appropriate insurance coverage. No assurance can however be given that environmental damage will not occur from time to time through the Company’s operations.

(c)

Taxation risks

The Company is subject to Australian tax legislation, practice and interpretation. Any change in the Company’s tax status or the tax applicable to the Company’s securities through taxation legislation or its interpretation, could affect the value of the investments held by the Company, its ability to provide returns to Shareholders, or alter the posttax returns to Shareholders.

Information relating to the taxation of the Company and its investors is based upon current tax law and practice which is subject to legislative change. Furthermore, the taxation of an investment in the Company depends on the individual circumstances of investors. Changes in the tax laws of Australia could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make returns for Shareholders in a tax-efficient manner.

The Company has made certain assumptions regarding taxation in establishing its corporate structure, the ongoing management of its taxation affairs and compliance with taxation legislation within the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. If these assumptions are not correct, taxes may be imposed with respect to the Company’s assets, or the Company may be subject to tax on its income, profits, gains or distributions (including on a liquidation and dissolution or otherwise) in a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions in excess of taxes that were anticipated.

This could alter the level of returns and/or adversely affect the quantum of post-tax returns for Shareholders (or Shareholders in certain

20

3113-13/3039631

jurisdictions). Any change in laws or tax authority practices could also adversely affect any post-tax returns of capital to Shareholders or payments of dividends. In addition, the Company may incur costs in taking steps to mitigate any such adverse effects on the returns for Shareholders.

(d) Insurance

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

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

7.4 Industry specific

(a) Commodity Price Volatility

Should the Company enter production, substantially all of the Company’s revenues and cash flows will be derived from the sale of heavy rare earth elements and copper and gold concentrates. Therefore, the financial performance of the Company would be exposed to fluctuations in the price of these commodities. Historically, the price of these commodities has fluctuated widely and has experienced periods of significant decline. The price of these commodities is affected by numerous factors and events that are beyond the control of the Company. These factors and events include general economic activity, world demand, forward selling activity as well as general global economic conditions and political trends.

(b) Mining Risks

Mining is subject to inherent risks and is dependent upon a number of conditions beyond the control of the Company that can affect the costs and production schedules at particular mines. These risks and conditions include, but are not limited to:

  • (i) variations in geological conditions, such as the grade and thickness of the mineralisation and variations in rock and other natural materials overlying the mineral deposit;

  • (ii) mining, process and equipment or mechanical failures and unexpected maintenance problems;

  • (iii) adverse weather and natural disasters, such as heavy rains, flooding and other natural events affecting the operations, transportation or customers;

  • (iv) environmental hazards, such as subsidence and excess water ingress;

  • (v) delays and difficulties in acquiring, maintaining or renewing necessary permits or mining rights;

21

3113-13/3039631

  • (vi) availability of adequate skilled employees and other labor relations matters;

  • (vii) unexpected mine accidents, including rock-falls and explosions caused by natural gas or other explosive sources at our mine sites or fires caused by similar mining accidents; and

  • (viii) competition and/or conflicts with other natural resource extraction activities and production within our operating areas.

These risks and conditions could result in damage to or the destruction of the Company mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and legal liability. The Company’s insurance coverage may not be available or sufficient to fully cover claims that may arise from these risks and conditions.

7.5 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. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(b) Changes in government policies and legislation

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

(c) 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.

(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.

22

3113-13/3039631

(e) 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 Unlisted Listed 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 the Unlisted Listed Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

(f)

Economic conditions and other global or national issues

General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance.

Specifically, it should be noted that the current evolving conflict between Ukraine and Russia is impacting global macroeconomics and markets generally. The nature and extent of the effect of this conflict on the performance of the Company and the value of Company’s Shares remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and overall impacts on global macroeconomics. Given the situation is continually evolving, the outcomes and consequences are inevitably uncertain.

(g) COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID 19, including any future resurgence or evolutions or mutations thereof or any related or associated epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak) (COVID-19) is continuing to impact global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of COVID-19 on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The market price of Shares may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures

23

3113-13/3039631

taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.

In addition, the effects of COVID-19 on the market price of the Shares and global financial markets generally may also affect the Company's ability to raise equity or debt if and when required or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may result in dilution for some or all Shareholders.

3113-13/3039631

8.3 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC 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.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a 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 three 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

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

  • (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

27

3113-13/3039631

  • (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

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.

Details of documents lodged by the Company with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.

  • (a) person named in this Prospectus as performing a function in a professional, advisory or other capacity in connection with the preparation or distribution of this Prospectus;

  • (b) promoter of the Company; or

  • (c) underwriter (but not a sub-underwriter) to the issue or a financial services licensee named in this Prospectus as a financial services licensee involved in the issue,

  • (d) the formation or promotion of the Company;

  • (e) any property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with:

  • (i) its formation or promotion; or

  • (ii) the Offer; or

  • (f) the Offer,

and no amounts have been paid or agreed to be paid and no benefits have been given or agreed to be given to any of these persons for services provided in connection with:

  • (g) the formation or promotion of the Company; or

  • (h) the Offer.

Steinepreis Paganin has acted as the solicitors to the Company in relation to the Offer. The Company estimates it will pay Steinepreis Paganin $15,000 (excluding GST and disbursements) for these services. During the 24 months preceding lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC, Steinepreis Paganin has been paid fees totalling $58,689 (excluding GST and disbursements) for legal services provided to the Company.

8.6 Consents

Each of the parties referred to in this Section:

  • (a) does not make, or purport to make, any statement in this Prospectus other than those referred to in this Section; and

  • (b) to the maximum extent permitted by law, expressly disclaim and take no responsibility for any part of this Prospectus other than a reference to its name and a statement included in this Prospectus with the consent of that party as specified in this Section.

Steinepreis Paganin has given its written consent to being named as the solicitors to the Company in this Prospectus. Steinepreis Paganin has not withdrawn its consent prior to the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

29

3113-13/3039631

8.7 Expenses of the Offer

The total expenses of the Offer are estimated to be approximately $24,000 (excluding GST) and are expected to be applied towards the items set out in the table below.

$
ASIC fees 3,206
Legal fees 20,000
Printing and distribution 794
Total 24,000

8.8 Electronic prospectus

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Form. If you have not, please contact the Company and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of this Prospectus or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the website of the Company at www.redmountainmining.com.au.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

8.9 Financial forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

8.10 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

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

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Unlisted Options 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.

30

3113-13/3039631

8.11 Privacy Act

If you complete an Application Form for the New Unlisted Options, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for the New Unlisted Options, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
