This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute 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
Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of general meetings of the Company.
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, F and G of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

The Directors may issue Shares to any person on such terms as the Directors determine, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the Constitution, and without prejudice to any special rights of the holders of existing securities or class of securities. (g) Variation of rights
Subject to the Corporations Act, where shares of different classes are on issue, the rights attaching to the shares of a class (unless otherwise provided by their terms of issue) may only be varied by a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of those shares of that class, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75% of the issued shares in that class.
(h) 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.

6 RISK FACTORS
The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly 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 Listed 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 Securities.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. Shareholders should consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser if they are in any doubt as to the value of the Offer and in particular in relation to taxation implications
6.1 Company specific
(a) Potential for significant dilution
It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.
The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the prospectus being lodged is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer.
(b) Speculative investment
The Company is at an early stage of its development and accordingly there are significant risks associated with investing in the Company. Potential investors should take into account the risks of taking up the Offer or of exercising their subsequent rights to under the Listed Options to acquire Shares and consider carefully whether investing in Shares is an appropriate investment in light of their personal circumstances.
(c) Exploration and evaluation risks
The success of the Company depends on the delineation of economically minable reserves and resources in the Company’s exploration tenements, access to required development capital, movement in the price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to the Company’s exploration and mining tenements and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration activities.
(d) Ability to exploit successful discoveries
It may not always be possible for the Company to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploration would involve obtaining the necessary licenses or clearances from the relevant authorities that may require
conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploration may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as the Company’s.
(e) Mining and development risk
Mineral exploration and mining are speculative operations that may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Profitability depends on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, design and construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operation and management and proficient financial management.
Exploration in itself is a speculative endeavour, while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances and cost overruns for unforseen events.
(f) Resource estimations
Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(g) Environmental risks
All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their offices, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital
10
expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining and exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures, or production costs, or reduction in levels of production at producing properties, or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
(h) Joint venture parties, agents and contractors
The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.
- (i) Mining is inherently dangerous and subject to conditions or events beyond the control of the Company, and any operating hazards could have a material adverse effect on its business
The Company’s business operations are subject to risks and hazards inherent in the mining industry. The exploration for and the development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, including: environmental hazards; industrial accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; unusual or unexpected rock formations; structure cave-in or slides; flooding; fires and interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Whether 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 pre grades and commodity prices affect successful project development.
(j) Potential acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.
(k) Economic Factors
General economic conditions in Australia and internationally, movements in interest, inflation and
currency exchange rates, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws and changes to dividend imputation in Australia may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and future production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
(l) Future capital requirements
The Company’s planned activities may require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantees that the funds raised through the Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to use debit or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer, there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any debt financing, if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.
The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
(m) Native Title
The Directors are aware of native title claims in relation to some of the Company’s tenements, which may impact upon planned exploration programs. The potential also exists for further native title claims to be lodged over any areas not presently or formerly the subject of grants of freehold interests in land, including land in which the Company presently has interests, or in which it may acquire interests in the future. Native title claims have the potential to cause significant delays to exploration.
(n) Commodity price and exchange rate risks
To the extent the Company is involved in mineral production the revenue derived through the sale of commodities may expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are commonly denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
11
In addition to adversely affecting the reserve estimates of the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.
(o) Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Directors. These persons possess knowledge of many of the Company's tenements through extensive personal experience of prospecting in those areas. Loss of one or more of these personnel may adversely affect the Company's prospects of pursuing its exploration programs within the timeframes and within the cost structure as currently envisaged.
(p) Licences and permits
The Company’s mining exploration activities are dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, tenements, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintaining of tenements, obtaining renewals, or getting tenements granted, often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining the required statutory approvals for its proposed activities and that the licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents it holds will be renewed as and when required. There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith.
(q) Government regulation
The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people, and other matters. Although the exploration and development activities of the Company are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.
(r) Insurance and uninsured risks
The business of the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards. Including events which could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities,
personal injury or death, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Although the Company maintains insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations and insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons.
Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.
(s) Other risks
Other risks factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation through breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel and other matters that may interfere with the Company’s business or trade.
6.2 General risks
(a) Economic
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
(b) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
general economic outlook;
-
introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
interest rates and inflation rates;
-
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c) Liquidity risk
There may be relatively few buyers or sellers on ASX at any given time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of the securities and the prevailing market
12
7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price paid under the Offer.
(d) Dividends
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.
(e) Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Listed Options or Shares may have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Listed Options or Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Listed Options under this Prospectus.
(f) 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 Securities offered under this Prospectus
Therefore, the securities 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 securities.
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 Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
7.1 Litigation
As at the date of this Prospectus the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings, and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
7.2 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 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 3 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 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: the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with ASIC;
-
(d) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in
-
(e) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC; and
-
(f) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674( l) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.

7.7 Remuneration
The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.
Fees and payments to non-executive Directors are structured to reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
Non-executive Directors' fees are determined within an aggregate Directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The total maximum currently stands at $350,000 per annum.
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. noncash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Director. The following table shows the total annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.

The estimated expenses will be paid out of the Company's existing cash reserves.
7.11 Electronic Prospectus
ASIC has exempted compliance with certain provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.
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 phone the Company on (08) 83636989 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both.
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 Prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.
7.12 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.
7.13 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register
System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will not be issuing Listed 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 Listed Options issued 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.
7.14 Privacy Act
If you complete an application for Listed Options, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder, 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 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 Listed Options, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application.
