1. Details of the Offer

1.1 The Offer

The Company is making a renounceable, pro rata offer of Shares at an issue price of $0.01 each to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of two Shares for every one Share held at 5.00 pm (WST) on the Record Date ( Offer ).

A maximum of 83,109,074 Shares will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus.

Where the determination of the entitlement of Eligible Shareholders results in a fraction of a Share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

The Prospectus is also for the offer of the Shortfall Shares. Shareholders are entitled to participate in the offer of the Shortfall Shares by completing the relevant sections of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Refer to Section 1.5 for further information and details of the Shortfall Offer.

Refer to Section 5.1 for a summary of the rights attaching to the Shares.

1.2

Purpose of the Offer

Completion of the issue of Shares offered by this Prospectus will result in an increase in the cash on hand of up to approximately $831,090 (before payment of Offer costs). At 31 May 2013 the Company had approximately $813,253 cash.

The cash of the Company as at 31 May 2013 and funds raised under the Offer are proposed to be expended as follows:

The cash of the Company as at 31 May 2013 an
be expended as follows:
d funds raised under the Offer are proposed to
Description A$
1. Cash as at 31 May 2013 813,253
2. Funds raised under the Offer (before
payment of Offer costs)
831,090
Total cash as at 31 May 2013 and funds
raised under the Offer
1,644,343
1. Exploration activities 800,000
2. Appraisal and development activities 400,000
3. Working Capital 414,343
4. Costs of Offer 30,000
Total use of funds 1,644,343

If the amount raised under the Offer is less than the full amount of the Offer, the use of funds in the table above will be modified such that, depending on the amount raised, funds allocated to working capital will be reduced first, and then funds allocated to exploration activities will be reduced, if necessary.

5

Actual expenditure may differ significantly from the above estimates due to a number of factors including market conditions, the development of new opportunities, the results obtained from the staged approach to exploration, appraisal and development activities and other factors (including the risk factors outlined in Section 3).

Unallocated working capital may be utilised by the Company to pay for cost overruns in budgeted expenditures (if any), additional exploration and development expenditure and in the administration of the Company.

1.3 Your entitlement and acceptance

Your entitlement to participate in the Offer will be determined on the Record Date, being 5 July 2013. The entitlement of Eligible Shareholders receiving this Prospectus is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form sent to Eligible Shareholders with this Prospectus.

You may accept all or only part of your entitlement. If your acceptance exceeds your entitlement, unless you apply for Shortfall Shares (refer to Section 1.5), acceptance will be deemed to be for your maximum entitlement and any surplus Application Monies will be returned (without interest).

1.4 Opening and Closing Dates

The Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms from the Record Date for determining Eligible Shareholders’ entitlements, being 5 July 2013, until 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date, being 22 July 2013 or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.

1.5 Shortfall Offer

The Offer is not underwritten. In the event that not all Eligible Shareholders accept their full entitlement pursuant to the Offer, the Directors reserve the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to issue the Shortfall Shares at their sole discretion ( Shortfall Offer ).

If the Directors exercise their sole discretion to issue the Shortfall Shares then, pursuant to this Prospectus, the Company will offer the Shortfall Shares as a separate offer.

Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full may apply for Shortfall Shares on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form enclosed with this Prospectus. In addition, the Company may send a Shortfall Application Form with this Prospectus to the parties to whom the Company makes Shortfall Offers. Please note that the Shortfall Offer will remain open from the Closing Date for a period of three months from the Closing Date of the Offer or such shorter date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules ( Shortfall Closing Date ). However, any Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Shortfall Shares on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form must ensure that the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned by the Closing Date. The Company will not accept any applications for the Shortfall Shares any later than the Shortfall Closing Date.

Shortfall Shares will be offered at an issue price of $0.01 each which is the issue price at which the Offer has been made to Eligible Shareholders.

Applications for Shortfall Shares can only be made by completing and returning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or the Shortfall Application Form which will be sent with this Prospectus to the parties to whom the Company makes Shortfall Offers.

6

In relation to the Shortfall Offer the Company reserves the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number applied for on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form, reject an application or not proceed with the issuing of the Shortfall Shares or part thereof. If the number of Shortfall Shares issued is less than the number applied for in an Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.

Refer to Section 2.7 for instructions as to how to apply for Shortfall Shares. If you are not an Eligible Shareholder and wish to participate in the Shortfall Offer, complete the Shortfall Application Form accompanying the Prospectus provided by the Company and return it with a cheque for the appropriate Application Monies in accordance with the instructions in Section 2.7.

1.6

Rights trading

The entitlements to Shares under the Offer are renounceable. Accordingly, there will be trading of Rights on ASX and you may dispose of your Entitlement to subscribe for Shares to another party. If you do not take up your Entitlement or dispose of your Rights to Shares under the Offer by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.

1.7

Entitlement and Acceptance Form

Acceptance of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Shares accepted. Neither the Entitlement and Acceptance Form nor the Shortfall Application Form needs to be signed to be a binding acceptance of Shares.

If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors’ decision as to whether to treat the acceptance of an Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form is final.

1.8

Issue

All Shares offered by this Prospectus are expected to be issued, and security holder statements sent, on or before the date specified in the timetable.

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 will do so at their own risk.

1.9

Application Monies held on trust

All Application Monies received for the Shares will be held in trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the Shares are not issued.

1.10 ASX quotation

Application will be made to ASX no later than 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for the official quotation of the Shares. If permission is not granted by ASX for the official quotation of the Shares offered by this Prospectus within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or

7

such period as ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.11 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS. ASTC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and Securities Clearing House Business Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares.

If you are broker sponsored, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of Shares 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.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored subregister, your statement will be sent by Security Transfer Registrars and will contain the number of Shares 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 Securityholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.12 Overseas Shareholders

The Offer is not being extended to any shareholders whose registered address is outside Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of Mauritius, Ireland, the Cayman Islands, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Panama, India and Seychelles (together the Eligible Countries ). The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders outside the Eligible Countries, having regard to:

  • (a) the number of those Shareholders;

  • (b) the number and value of Shares to be offered to those persons; and

  • (c) the cost of complying with overseas legal requirements.

The Prospectus and an accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer other than for Shareholders in the Eligible Countries. The Company is not required to make offers under the Prospectus to Shareholders other than in Australia and New Zealand. Where the Prospectus has been sent to Shareholders domiciled outside the Eligible Countries and where the country's securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Offer contemplated by the Prospectus, the Prospectus is provided for information purposes only.

However, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7, the Company has appointed a nominee to sell the Entitlements to which non‐qualifying foreign Shareholders are entitled. The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded as soon as practicable to the non‐ qualifying foreign Shareholders, in proportion to their entitlement to such Entitlements.

8

The sale of the Entitlements of Shareholders whose registered address is outside the Eligible Countries will be at the prices and otherwise in such a manner as the nominee in its absolute discretion may determine. Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of such Entitlements will be applied against costs and expenses first but any balance will accrue to the Company.

Shareholders resident in the Eligible Countries holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up Entitlements under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

The Offer is being made in New Zealand in reliance on the New Zealand Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013. This document is not a prospectus or investment statement under New Zealand law and has not been registered or filed with, or approved by, any New Zealand regulatory authority under or in accordance with the New Zealand Securities Act 1978 or any other relevant law in New Zealand. This document may not contain all the information that an investment statement, or a prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Offer to certain institutional shareholders who have registered addresses outside the Eligible Countries in accordance with applicable law.

1.13 Risk factors

An investment in Shares should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are in Section 3.

1.14 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

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

1.15 Major activities and financial information

A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 is in the Annual Financial Report which was lodged with ASX on 2 April 2013.

The Company's continuous disclosure notices (i.e. ASX announcements) since 2 April 2013 are listed in Section 5.3.

Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. Directors strongly recommend that Shareholders review these and all other announcements prior to deciding whether or not to participate in the Offer.

3. 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 Shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating the Company’s business and risks of increasing your investment in the Company. Shareholders 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:

3.1 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Exploration Risk – Early Stage and Weather Delays

The Company’s tenements ( Tenements ) are at the early stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration is a high‐risk undertaking, only occasionally providing high rewards.

The Tenements are speculative in nature. The conceptual exploration targets identified are based on ground surveys and the interpretation of geological structures and have been subject to limited exploration. The Company’s projects ( Projects ) represent a regional exploration play.

The Company’s proposed exploration activities including its drilling programme may be impacted by weather conditions and the availability of drill rigs when required. The wet season in southern Tanzania generally occurs from December to April during which time access to the Project areas may be limited and drilling may not be able to be undertaken.

(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 significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(c) Country Risk

The Projects are based in Tanzania. Tanzania is a developing country with a multi‐ party democracy which has successfully evolved over the past decade into having established an expanding mining industry.

The Company will be subject to the risks associated with operating in Tanzania. Such risks include economic, social or political change, changes in law affecting foreign investment, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exploration licencing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection,

14

mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations.

Changes to Tanzania’s mining or investment policies and legislation or a shift in political attitude may adversely affect the Company’s operations and profitability.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Tanzania that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Projects.

(d) Uranium as a source of energy

Nuclear energy is in direct competition with other more conventional sources of energy including gas, coal and hydro‐electricity.

Furthermore, any potential growth of the nuclear power industry (and increase in demand for uranium) beyond its current level will depend on the continued and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. The nuclear industry is subject to some negative public opinion owing to political, technological and environmental factors. This may have an adverse impact on the demand for uranium and increase the regulation of uranium mining.

One of the arguments in favour of nuclear energy is its lower emissions of carbon dioxide per unit of power generated compared to coal and gas. Alternative energy systems such as wind or solar also have no or very low carbon emissions. However, to date these have not been cost effective enough to be used for large scale base load power. Technology changes may occur that make alternative energy systems more efficient, reliable or cost‐effective.

(e) Exploration and Mining within Game and Forest Reserves

Pursuant to the Mining Act 2010 of Tanzania, the holder of a mineral right shall not exercise any of his rights under the licence or under the Mining Act 2010 in respect of land in any game reserve declared under the Wildlife Conservation Act, except with the written consent of the authority having control over the reserve. A portion of some of the Company’s Selous Project Tenements are located within the Selous Game Reserve, which is a World Heritage Site under UNESCO. The Company will comply with the protocol outlined in the Mining Act 2010 and seek to be granted permission from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism to undertake coal and uranium exploration on the portion of the Selous Project tenements that fall within the game reserve during certain periods every year. The Company may also require additional approvals from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism and UNESCO to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations. If mining occurs, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism would prefer underground mining. Failure to obtain approvals for mining or the imposition of restrictive conditions on mining activities making the project uneconomic may have a material adverse effect on the business operations of the Company.

Also pursuant to the Mining Act 2010 of Tanzania, the written consent of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism will be required prior to exploration commencing on any portion of the Tenements that falls within a forest reserve. The Company is not aware of any forest reserves that would affect the Tenements. As part of exploration activities, the Company will continue to assess whether any portion of the Tenements falls within a forest reserve. Prior written permission must be

15

obtained from the relevant authority in order to undertake exploration and mining activities within forest reserves. However, where approval is refused by the concerned authority then this would likely have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities in that area.

(f) Tenement Title

Interests in tenements in Tanzania are governed by legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences. Each licence 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 the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise.

All of the Tenements in which the Company has or may earn an interest in will be subject to applications for renewal or grant (as the case may be). Tenements are granted on a first come first served basis, providing there are not any overlaps or competing applications. The renewal of the term of each Tenement is mandatory unless the licenceholder is in default and fails to remedy any default upon being served such notice. If a Tenement is not renewed or granted, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of investment and the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that Tenement.

Section 8(6) of the Mining Act 2010 of Tanzania imposes a limit of 20 tenements to be held by an entity and its directors and shareholders. Provided that neither of the Company’s two Tanzanian subsidiaries have a common director or common direct shareholders, and neither of the entities individually hold more than 20 granted tenements then there will not be a breach of Section 8(6). Due to the fact that Section 8(6) has not been judicially interpreted there is a risk however that the relevant Tanzanian Authority may interpret Section 8(6) such that entities which control the shareholders of the Tanzanian subsidiaries holding the tenements (ie. holding companies up the corporate chain) should be included in the 20 licence limit. The Company has been advised by its legal advisers in Tanzania that there are no examples of this occurring to date and that the Company could challenge such an interpretation through a judicial review by the Tanzanian courts on the grounds of illegality should the Tanzanian Authority take such an interpretation.

(g) Legal System ‐ Tanzania

The legal system operating in Tanzania is based on a number of sources including English common law, statues, and customary law and may be less developed than more established countries. This may result in risk such as:

  • (i) political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute;

  • (ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies supervising the minerals and energy sector;

  • (iii) the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations;

  • (iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or

16

(v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in such matter.

The commitment to local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to tenements and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance joint ventures, tenements, license applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of the government authorities or others and the effectiveness of, and enforcement of, such arrangements cannot be assured.

(h) 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 projects in which the Company has, or will in the future have, an interest and the Board will continually monitor the management roles in the Company.

As the Company’s operations require an increased level of involvement, the Board will look to appoint additional management and/or consultants when and where appropriate to ensure proper management of the Company’s projects. However, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to secure personnel with the relevant experience at the appropriate time which may impact on the Company’s ability to complete all of its preferred exploration programmes in its preferred timetable.

(i) 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 following the Offer should be adequate to funds its obligations in respect of its exploration work programme, business development activities and other objectives. Should the Company’s exploration programme be successful in identifying coal and/or uranium bearing stratigraphy, additional funds will be required to advance the project to a resource stage.

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

(j) New projects and acquisitions, joint ventures and dilution

The Company has to date, and will continue to actively pursue and assess, other new business opportunities particularly those in the resources sector. These new

17

business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm‐ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, or direct equity participation.

The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence and prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies already advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

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). Further, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.

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.

The consideration payable in respect of any such acquisition may consist wholly or partly of new Shares, in which case the Shareholding of existing Shareholders will be diluted. Further, the Company may seek to raise additional capital to fund acquisitions or for other purposes, by issue of new Shares. This may also have the effect of diluting the Shareholdings of existing Shareholders. The Company may elect to fund acquisitions using existing or new bank facilities. The Directors will adopt prudent financial practices in assessing the appropriate funding mix.

Subject to relevant joint venture agreements, the Company cannot control the actions of joint venturers, and therefore, cannot guarantee that joint ventures will be operated or managed in accordance with the Company's preferred direction or strategy.

3.2 Mining Industry Risks

(a) Exploration Risk

Mineral exploration by its nature is a high risk activity and there can be no guarantee of exploration success on the 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.

18

Whilst the Directors’ will make every effort to reduce this risk, the fact remains that the discovery and development of a commercially viable resource is the exception rather than the rule.

(b) Payment Obligations

Pursuant to the licences comprising the 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 minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments will render the licence liable to be cancelled. 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 the Projects.

(c) Commodity price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks

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 (including coal and uranium) 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 macro‐economic factors.

Furthermore, the Company has an interest in coal and uranium projects located in Tanzania. As a consequence the Company will be subject to foreign exchange risk generally and in particular to exchange fluctuations affecting the relative and absolute value of the Australian dollar and Tanzanian shilling. Should the Company develop a producing operation, any sale of coal and/or uranium will likely be in United States dollars which leaves the Company exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian dollar, Tanzanian shilling and United States dollar.

(d) Environmental risk

Coal and uranium mining are industries that have become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability. The potential for liability is an ever present risk. Future legislation and regulations governing coal and/or uranium production may impose significant environmental obligations on the Company in relation to coal and/or uranium mining. The Company intends to conduct its activities in a responsible manner which minimises its impact on the environment, and in accordance with applicable laws.

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to regulations concerning the environment. The Government and other authorities that administer and enforce environmental laws determine these requirements. As with all exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if mine development proceeds. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws.

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

19

Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.

There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

3.3 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 exploration and any future development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. In particular, 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:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) 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 and resource exploration stocks in particular. Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance.

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, Tanzania or any other country that the Company may acquire economic interests in may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

20

(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) Competition

There is a risk that the Company will not be able to continue to compete profitably in the competitive industry in which it intends to operate. The potential exists for the nature and extent of the competition to change rapidly, which may cause loss to the Company.

(e) 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.

While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in assessing the creditworthiness of its insurance providers, there will remain the risk that an insurer defaults in payment of a legitimate claim by the Company under an insurance policy.

3.4 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.

5. Additional information

5.1 Rights attaching to Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is set out below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing Shares.

(a) General meeting and notices

Each member is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to members under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of the Company every holder of fully paid ordinary shares present in person or by an attorney; representative or proxy has one vote on a show of hands (unless a member has appointed 2 proxies) and one vote per share on a poll.

A person who holds a share which is not fully paid is entitled, on a poll, to a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the share.

Where there are 2 or more joint holders of a share and more than one of them is present at a meeting and tenders a vote in respect of the share, the Company will count only the vote cast by the member whose name appears first in the Company's register of members.

(c) Issues of further Shares

The Directors may, on behalf of the Company, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of unissued shares to any person on the terms, with the rights, and at the times that the Directors decide. However, the Directors must act in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any rights for the time being attached to the shares in any special class of those shares.

(d) Variation of Rights

Unless otherwise provided by the Constitution or by the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attached to the shares in any class may be varied or cancelled only with the written consent of the holders of at least three‐quarters of the issued shares

25

of the affected class, or by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued shares of the affected class.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable.

The Shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, by any other method of transferring or dealing with Shares introduced by ASX and as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act or by a written instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any other form approved by either the Directors or ASX that is permitted by the Corporations Act.

The Directors may decline to register a transfer of Shares (other than a proper transfer in accordance with the ASTC Business Rules) where permitted to do so under the Listing Rules. If the Directors decline to register a transfer, the Company must, within 5 business days after the transfer is delivered to the Company, give the party lodging the transfer written notice of the refusal and the reason for the refusal. The Directors must decline to register a transfer of Shares when required by law, by the Listing Rules or by the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

(f) Partly paid Shares

The Directors may, subject to compliance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, issue partly paid shares upon which there are outstanding amounts payable. These shares will have limited rights to vote and to receive dividends.

(g) Dividends

The Directors may from time to time determine dividends to be distributed to members according to their rights and interests. The Directors may fix the time for distribution and the methods of distribution. Subject to the terms of issue of shares, the Company may pay a dividend on one class of shares to the exclusion of another class.

Each share carries the right to participate in the dividend in the same proportion that the amount for the time being paid on the share (excluding any amount paid in advance of calls) bears to the total issue price of the share.

(h) Winding up

Subject to the rights of holders of shares with special rights in a winding‐up, if the Company is wound up, members will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets of the Company in proportion to the percentage of the capital paid‐up or credited as paid up on the shares when the winding up begins.

(i) Dividend reinvestment and Share plans

Subject to the requirements in the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may implement and maintain dividend reinvestment plans (under which any member may elect that dividends payable by the Company be reinvested by way of subscription for fully paid shares in the Company) and any other share plans (under which any member may elect to forego any dividends that may be payable on

26

all or some of the shares held by that member and to receive instead some other entitlement, including the issue of fully paid shares).

(j)

Directors

The Constitution states that the minimum number of Directors is 3.

  • (k) Powers of the Board

Except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, any other law, the Listing Rules or the Constitution, the Directors have the power to manage the business of the Company and may exercise every right, power or capacity of the Company.

(l) Share buy backs

Subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company may buy back shares in itself on the terms and at times determined by Directors.

(m) Unmarketable parcels

The Company's constitution permits the Board to sell the Shares held by a Shareholder if they comprise less than a marketable parcel within the meaning of ASX Business Rules. The procedure may only be invoked once in any 12 month period and requires the Company to give the Shareholder notice of the intended sale.

If a Shareholder does not want his Shares sold, he may notify the Company accordingly.

(n) Capitalisation of profits

The Company may capitalise profits. Subject to the Constitution and the terms of the issue of shares, members are entitled to participate in a capital distribution in the same proportions in which they are entitled to participate in dividends.

(o) Capital reduction

Subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Company may reduce its share capital.

  • (p) Preference Shares

The Company may issue preference shares including preference shares that are liable to be redeemed. The rights attaching to preference shares are those set out in the Constitution unless other rights have been approved by special resolution of the Company’s members.
