1. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY INVESTMENT RISKS

The information set out below should be read in conjunction with the more detailed information further contained in this Prospectus. Investors should consider the risk factors that could affect the financial and operating performance of the Company before making an investment decision.

1.1

Investment highlights

Investment highlights include:

  • Riedel Resources is an Australian-based exploration company established to explore for and develop gold and base metals mineralisation in the Archaean and Proterozoic areas of Western Australia.

  • The Board has proven extensive and relevant experience in the resources and finance industries.

  • Upon successful completion of the Offer and admission to the Official List of ASX, the Company will have 66,500,100 Shares and 8,000,000 Options on issue.

  • The Company has acquired a substantial package of prospective tenements, joint ventures, and royalty agreements from ADX Energy Limited ( ADX ) (formerly AuDAX Resources Limited).

  • The Mary Mia Project assets lie along strike upon the prospective “Jenkin Fault” which hosts extensive regional exploration activity in an emerging multi commodity province, including the recently discovered Degrussa deposit by Sandfire Resources NL.

  • The Millrose Project assets include an Inferred Resource estimate of 4Mt at 2.4 g/t Au for 309,000 oz (1 g/t) cut off.

  • The Company is seeking to develop its assets at a time when gold and the majority of base metal prices have increased substantially over the past twelve months.

  • The Company will maintain an active programme of identifying projects that complement the Company’s tenement portfolio and the corporate strategy.

The above highlights are a summary only, and must be read in conjunction with the remainder of this Prospectus.

1.2 Key investment risks

Prospective investors in the Company should be aware that subscribing for Shares the subject of this Prospectus involves a number of risks.

These risks are set out in detail in Section 11 of this Prospectus and investors are urged to consider the risks carefully (and if necessary, consult their professional advisers) before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

The key risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Further

  • Risk area details

  • Tenure risk : The Company’s Projects comprise a number of granted 11.2 exploration licences and applications for the grant of exploration licences. Three of the granted exploration licences have not been transferred from their current holders into the name of AuDAX Minerals Pty Ltd ( ADXM ) (the entity proposed to be acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement summarised in Section 12.1 of this Prospectus) as they have been granted for less than 12 months and are therefore unable to be transferred to ADXM without Ministerial consent. These 3 tenements are being held on trust by their current holders (being OldCity Nominees in respect of E77/1223 and ADX in respect of E52/2394 and E52/2395) for the benefit of the Company and ADXM and will not be transferred to ADXM until the 12-month anniversary of their grant date. There is a risk that these exploration licences may not be transferred to ADXM and that it may therefore not obtain registered legal title to them.

  • Risk of non-renewal of tenements: The Company cannot guarantee 11.3 that the granted exploration licences will be renewed beyond their current expiry date and there is a risk that, in the event the Company is unable to renew the tenements beyond their current expiry date, the Company’s proposed interest in those Projects will be relinquished. Three of the tenements have expiry dates of 13 months or less from the date of this Prospectus, being: E36/215 – 4 December 2011, E36/404 – 5 July 2011, and E36/509 – 4 July 2011.

  • Application risk: There is a risk that the applications for exploration 11.4 licences may never be granted, in which case the Company will not be able to undertake exploration activities on these tenements.

  • Applications for forfeiture: As at the date of this Prospectus, Millrose 11.6 Project tenement E53/1305 and Dulcie Project tenements P77/3727 and P77/3728 are the subject of applications for forfeiture. An application for non-forfeiture of E53/1305 has been lodged with the Department of Mines and Petroleum and is yet to be determined. The forfeiture applications in respect of the two Dulcie Project tenements set out above are listed to be heard in the Warden’s Court on 23 November 2010. There is a risk that some or all of these tenements may be liable to forfeiture if Department of Mines and Petroleum declines the application for non-forfeiture and/or the Warden’s Court makes an adverse ruling in respect of the Dulcie tenement forfeiture applications (however it is noted that the Dulcie Project tenements are fully expended). Of the three tenements the subject of forfeiture applications, the Dulcie Project tenements are not considered material to the Company’s ongoing operations

7

Risk area Further
details
because they are non-core assets. The Millrose Project tenement is
also not considered material because the Millrose Inferred Resource
and strike extension on the Millrose Project are located in E53/1304,
rather than E53/1305.
Cheritons Find Project tenure risk:The Cheritons Find exploration 11.7
licence application E77/1793 lies within the Jilbadji Nature Reserve.
As such, the application process is more stringent and this
application may be granted with additional conditions imposed to
regulate access arrangements by the Company/ADXM and more
onerous conditions to regulate activity on the tenement area.
Exploration risks:Mineral exploration is speculative and involves 11.8
significant degrees of risk. There can be no assurance that the
exploration proposed by the Company will result in discoveries of an
economic resource. Exploration by its nature is a high-risk endeavour
and consequently there can be no assurance that the exploration of
the Projects described in this Prospectus, or any other projects that
may be acquired in the future, will result in discovery of an economic
resource.
Operating risks:The operations of the Company may be affected by 11.9
various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits,
failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining,
operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining,
difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment,
mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical
problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather
conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes
and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables,
spare parts, plant and equipment.
Exploration budgets:The exploration costs of the Company 11.11
described in Section 6 and in the Independent Geologist’s Report in
Section 8 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 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 viability of the
Company’s Projects. In addition to this, exploration programmes
phased and subsequent programmes are based results and
outcomes of previous programmes. Programmes will not necessarily
be carried out of results do not warrant it.

3. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Investor

On behalf of the Directors of Riedel Resources Limited ( Riedel or Company ), it is my pleasure to extend this Offer to you and invite you to become a Shareholder of the Company.

This Prospectus has been issued by Riedel for the purposes of offering 35 million Shares at $0.20 each to raise up to $7 million before costs with a minimum subscription of $5 million ( Public Offer ). As part of the Offer, the Company will offer 10 million Shares (of the 35 million Shares on offer under this Prospectus) in priority to shareholders of ADX Energy Limited ( ADX ) (formerly AuDAX Resources Limited) registered as at the Record date on a first-come, first-served basis ( Priority Offer ). The pool for the Public Offer will be a minimum of 25 million Shares, with the balance of any Shares not applied for by ADX Shareholders under the Priority Offer also forming part of the pool for the Public Offer.

Riedel was incorporated on 9 April 2010 for the purposes of acquiring all of the mineral exploration assets of ADX, as described in Section 6 of this Prospectus, and for further investment in resource opportunities.

Riedel’s assets include a portfolio of gold, copper and nickel projects and significant land holdings in prospective areas in the Archaean and Proterozoic areas in Western Australia. The Company has a mixture of early stage and more advanced prospects, with an initial focus on four core Projects, comprising the Mary Mia, Millrose, Mt Webb, and Cheritons Projects. These Projects comprise an existing inferred gold resource, numerous drill ready Cu, Ni, Au and Cu-Au targets as well as a number of quality conceptual targets. The core Projects are augmented with a number of further prospects, all of which are described in Section 6.2 of this Prospectus.

The Company proposes a well funded, well resourced and aggressive exploration strategy. Programmes have been designed to evaluate existing core Projects and to achieve key exploration milestones within the next two years.

The Board therefore believes these Projects contain a number of exciting opportunities.

The Board has considerable experience in exploration, and development of resources projects both in Australia and overseas. Riedel is fortunate to secure such an experienced and well credentialed management team.

This Prospectus contains detailed information about Riedel and the Company’s current exploration Projects together with relevant independent experts reports. Please read this Prospectus carefully before you make your investment decision and, where necessary, consult your professional advisers.

The Board joins me in extending this Offer to you and we look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder of the Company.

Yours sincerely

6. COMPANY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW

6.1 Background

Riedel Resources Limited is an Australian-based exploration company established to explore for and develop gold and base metals mineralisation in Western Australia.

The Company was incorporated on 9 April 2010 as a public company for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of highly prospective exploration Projects located in Western Australia from ADX Energy Limited ( ADX ) formerly AuDAX Resources Limited. Since incorporation, the Company has entered into a Share Sale Agreement with ADX to acquire ADX’s wholly owned subsidiary, AuDAX Minerals Pty Ltd ( ADXM ) on the terms set out in Section 12.1 of this Prospectus ( Share Sale Agreement ).

6.2 Project overview

6.2.1 Background and overview

Riedel’s assets include a portfolio of gold, copper and nickel Projects and significant land holdings in prospective areas in the Archaean and Proterozoic areas in Western Australia. The Company has a mixture of early stage and advanced prospects, with an initial focus on the following four core Projects:

� Cheritons East;

  • Mary Mia;

  • Millrose; and

  • Mt Webb.

These Projects comprise an existing inferred gold resource, numerous drill ready Cu, Ni, Au and Cu-Au targets as well as a number of quality conceptual targets. All core Project areas are also considered to have recognised potential for hosting uranium mineralisation, however the Company has no current intention of exploring for uranium and is prevented from doing so under its heritage agreements.

The core Projects are augmented with a number of further prospects, including existing joint venture Projects, prospective royalties and free carried interests (these are described in further detail in Section 6.2.3 below under ‘Second tier Projects’).

6.2.2 Company strategy

The Company proposes a well funded, well resourced and aggressive exploration strategy. Programmes have been designed to evaluate and add significant value to existing core Projects and to achieve key exploration milestones within the next two years.

The Board therefore believes these Projects contain a number of exciting opportunities and has a proven track record in developing mineral assets, together with recognising and advancing underexplored projects. These skills will assist the Company to maximise returns from the portfolio of Projects to be acquired under the Share Sale Agreement.

18

The Board’s primary aim is to become a successful exploration company and advance Shareholders’ interests and asset values. The Company aims to achieve this goal through:

  • (a) utilising the collective experience of the Board members to advance its existing Projects;

  • (b) active exploration programmes on the Company’s current Project portfolio;

  • (c) acquisition and consolidation of tenement holdings in the Project areas; and

  • (d) utilisation of the Board’s project acquisition skills to give the Company high exposure to other projects at an attractive entry price.

6.2.3 Project descriptions

Core Projects

As discussed above, the Company’s core Projects include Cheritons East, Mary Mia, Millrose and Mount Webb. The Company also holds a number of prospective second-tier Projects in Western Australia. These second-tier Projects are not reported on in the Independent Geologist’s Report included in Section 8 of this Prospectus because the Company does not currently consider them to be material to its future operations and strategy.

The following map (Figure 1) shows the location of the Company’s Projects:

==> picture [250 x 340] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Location of Projects

19

A summary of each Project is set out below. Also refer to the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 8 of this Prospectus for more detailed information on the core Projects.

Refer to the material contract summaries contained in Section 12.9 of this Prospectus for further details of Tenement Agreements.

Cheritons East

The Cheriton’s East gold prospect is located 48km south-east of Marvel Loch in the eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. It is approximately 2km south of the Cheritons Find (Redwing) deposit which has an estimated Inferred Resource of 1.4Mt at 2.4g/t Au for 108,000 oz.

E77/1223 covers a total area of 58.3km[2] and overlies the southern strike extension of the Redwing gold mineralisation. It is considered to have the potential to host major low to medium grade gold mineralisation and possibly also nickel mineralisation.

The Cheritons East Project is described in further detail in section 1 of the Independent Geologist’s Report.

Mary Mia

The Mary Mia Project area is located approximately 180km northeast of Meekatharra in the Peak Hill district of Western Australia and lies within the Mary Mia Dome. The Mary Mia Project Area is comprised of two large contiguous exploration licences which overlie most of the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt. E52/2394 and E52/2395 occupy a total area of approximately 431.4km[2] .

Exploration drilling has outlined sporadic gold mineralisation hosted in a granophyric dolerite sill. There is potential for ’blind’, primary gold mineralisation beneath over-thrust granite in the Project area. Much of the ultramafic strikelength in the Project area remains untested by modern day exploration techniques.

The Mary Mia Project Area is along strike from Sandfire Resources’ Doolgunna copper-gold project at DeGrussa, which lies approximately 50km west-south west of the tenements. The indicated and Inferred Resource for Sandfire Resources’ high grade volcanic massive sulphide mineralisation was upgraded in September 2010 to 10.67Mt at 5.6% Cu; 1.9g/t Au and 15g/t Ag. This is comprised of an Indicated Resource of 8.15 Mt @ 5.8% Cu, 1.8g/t Au and 14g/t Ag and an Inferred Resource of 2.52Mt @ 5.2% Cu, 2.3g/t Au and 15g/t Ag. The Sipa Resources’ Thaduna Copper Project and Lodestar Minerals Ltd’s base metals ‘Conductor’ targets have also recently been identified to the south west of Riedel Resources’ leases.

The Mary Mia Project is described in further detail in section 2 of the Independent Geologist’s Report.

Millrose

The Millrose Project Area is located within the Yandal / Millrose Greenstone Belt, in the Murchison region of the north-eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. It is situated approximately 80km north-east of Wiluna. The Millrose Project Area is comprised of E53/1304 and E53/1305, which have a combined area of 119.8km[2] .

20

An Inferred Resource of 4Mt at 2.4g/t Au for 308,600 oz has been outlined from drilling carried out on E53/1304, prior to and during 1999. No additional fieldwork has been conducted since 2005.

The Millrose Project is described in further detail in section 3 of the Independent Geologist’s Report.

Mt Webb

The Mt Webb Project area is located in the Lake Mackay region in Western Australia, close to the WA-NT border. These isolated tenements are approximately 1,300km east of Wiluna. The Project area is comprised of four tenements, namely E80/4165, E80/4166, E80/4167 and E80/4429, which have a combined area of 568.1km[2] .

Each of the “hot” granites within these tenements will be evaluated for its gold and copper potential. The mineralisation is expected to be associated with one of the Iron Oxide Copper Gold subtypes.

The Mt Webb Project is described in further detail in section 4 of the Independent Geologist’s Report.

Second tier Projects

Bronzewing South / Kara / Delaney Well

The Bronzewing South Project is located within the Yandal Greenstone Belt approximately 65km north-east of Leinster and immediately south of the Bronzewing Mine site. It includes tenements E36/734, E36/215, E36/623, M36/670, and E36/509.

To date, work at this Project has included: prospecting, airborne magnetic / DEM / radiometric surveys, ground electromagnetic surveys, regolith mapping, geological mapping, rock chip sampling, soil and lag sampling surveys, RAB / Aircore / RC and diamond drilling.

Until the discovery of the Bronzewing Mine in the mid 1990s, relatively little work had been done on the area. Since its grant in 2002, the area has been explored by Newmont Yandal Operations Limited ( Newmont ), ADX, Independence Group NL ( Independence ) and View Gold NL / Navigator ( Bronzewing ).

While results have generated a number of interesting anomalies and confirmed the geological prospectivity of the area, they have been disappointing in that they have not delivered a significant open pitable oxide resource. Model-driven exploration by Newmont and Independence, while generating a number of gold and nickel sulphide targets, meant that these companies did not follow up a number of targets.

The area is still considered to have potential to host a small to moderate blind underground prospect. The area is under drilled relative to other areas within the eastern Goldfields and the Yandal Belt in particular.

21

Charteris Creek

This Project includes a tenement under application: E45/2763. It lies approximately 50km north of Nullagine and covers an area considered prospective for gold and base metal mineralization. The tenement lies in the east Pilbara and covers portions of the Marble Bar and Kelly Greenstone Belts to the east of the Mount Edgar and Corunna Downs Granitic plutons.

While the area has been the subject of previous exploration in the past much of the more recent work has been carried out by the majors and has been focused on large ore systems. Evaluation has often been by regional stream sediment sampling programs that may not have been entirely appropriate and “on ground” follow up appears to have been limited.

The area is considered prospective for structurally controlled vein and hydrothermal gold mineralisation and for VHMS style base metal mineralisation similar to those in the Copper Hills-Kellys Area immediately to the south of the tenement. Iron, Manganese and speciality metals (Sn, Ta, Li) are also to be considered.

Telfer

This Project includes tenements under application E45/2761, and E45/2764. The Project lies approximately 35km north west of the Telfer mine and covers the area immediately surrounding the Lamil Hills region and strike extensions to the north. The area was applied for in anticipation of results of geophysical (magnetic and gravity) surveys, mapping and re-interpretive surveys conducted by the Geological Survey of WA ( GSWA ). It is believed that this initiative together with new insights brought about as a result of the mining of the Telfer underground will lead to new and better models for mineralisation in the Telfer area.

22

The tenements are considered prospective for copper and gold. The area was identified a number of years ago on the basis of recently acquired geophysical data and re assessment by the GSWA. The area is considered to have a reasonable geological/structural setting and surrounds an area of known mineralisation. It is located in a strategic position around the Navan Mines Lamil Hill Tenement (E45/1960) which is located in the vicinity of the Telfer gold-copper mine.

Free carried interests and royalties

Cheritons Find (Redwing)

Initial work by ADX in the late 1990’s resulted in the definition and mining of the Cheritons Find M77/1078 laterite resource. Subsequent work by Sons of Gwalia Limited has resulted in the definition of a small Inferred Resource estimate at Redwing (located adjacent to Cheritons Find Laterite deposit) of 1,400,000t @ 2.4g/t Au for 108,000 oz. Riedel holds a 10% free carried interest in the Redwing Deposit which is currently managed by St Barbara Limited.

The Redwing Inferred Resource is located immediately adjacent to the old Cheritons Find Laterite Pit, within the Jilbadji Nature Reserve and approximately 55km by road from Marvel Loch. The prospect is hosted within a west-north-west striking sequence of para-amhibolites, ultramafic and ortho-amphibolites that is located on the south-western flank of the Parker Range Dome. Mineralisation has been defined along a strike length of 500m to a vertical depth of 160m. The zone dips shallowly to the west and has a true thickness of between 5m and 30m. The host rock sequence and controlling structural zone extend a further 2,500m south of Redwing and is associated with quartz veining and similar altered rock. Gold mineralisation is related to discrete sheeted quartz veins (1m to 4m thick). Free gold is evident in veins, alteration halos comprise calc-silicate, carbonate, garnet and pyrite assemblages.

The Inferred Resource was calculated using a sectional polygonal method with grade interpolation by inverses distance method using parameters appropriate to the data density. Sample locations, drill sampling recoveries and analytical methods are deemed acceptable.

West Yandal

Tenements E36/404 and M36/615 are owned and managed by Navigator Resources Limited and lie south of the Bronzewing mine. Subject to completion of the transfer of the tenements to the Company, the Company will retain a royalty over these tenements (refer to Section 12.9 of this Prospectus for details of the royalty held pursuant to the Venus Sale Agreement).

View Resources Ltd mined and processed some of the ore from the Venus prospect in 2007 via a small open cut. However, due to the collapse of View Resources and the fact the company went into administration, mining ceased.

Prior to mining the ore from the Venus resource, previous exploration has indicated the potential for gold mineralisation. The Company believes there is further potential for incremental ounces along strike. Regional structural/magnetic and RAB/AC/RC and soil targets remain to be tested.

Dulcie

The Company holds a 20% free carried interest in the Dulcie Project tenements P77/3727, P77/3728, P77/3729 together with Gondwana Resources Limited which holds and manages an 80% interest. Details of the Dulcie Joint Venture Agreement are set out in Section 12.9 of this Prospectus.

These tenements managed by Gondwana Resources represent part of a large portfolio of prospective tenements located in the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt immediately south of St Barbara Limited’s Marvel Loch Gold Operations and 80km north of Western Area’s Forrestania Nickel Operations.

24

The Southern Cross area is a well recognised regional mining centre, offering excellent established infrastructure and a long gold mining tradition.

The Company believes that previous explorers have focused on large tonnage gold targets and, as a result, there remains potential to delineate smaller, highgrade gold targets near to surface that could offer the Company positive cash flows through toll treatment or small-scale, boutique gold mining operations.

The Southern Cross-Marvel Loch region exhibits zones of near surface gold depletion related to oxidation of the profile (noted at the Marvel Loch and Yilgarn Star gold mines). Drill data for Gondwana's landholding reveals large strike lengths of favourable host rocks that remain untested below the base of oxidation.

Porphyry

The Porphyry prospect owned and managed by Saracen Minerals includes tenements M31/145, and M31/157 and lies on the Edjudina Station Pastoral Lease approximately 48km north of the Carosue Dam processing plant. The Company will retain a royalty interest in the Porphyry deposit.

The Porphyry mining area has a long history of gold mining, having been mined intermittently over the past 75 years. Historical production from the Porphyry mine is 1.33mt @ 3.36g/t producing 144,000 oz from both underground and surface operations.

Further details

Investors should refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements included in Section 10 of this Prospectus for further details of the second-tier Projects.

7.2 Corporate governance

This Section summarises the corporate governance practices adopted by the Board. The Company’s objective is to achieve best practice in corporate governance, and the Company's officers and employees are committed to achieving this objective.

Board of Directors

Role of the Board

The Board's primary responsibility is to oversee the Company's business activities and management for the benefit of Shareholders. The Board is responsible for:

  • (a) overseeing and approving the Company's strategic and operating objectives;

  • (b) reviewing, ratifying and approving the Company's financial position, systems of risk management and internal compliance and control, codes of conduct and legal compliance;

  • (c) approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and acquisitions and divestitures;

  • (d) being responsible for the Company’s senior executives and personnel, including appointing and, where appropriate, removing the Chairman;

  • (e) ratifying the appointment, and where appropriate, the removal of the Managing Director/CEO (if applicable) and the Company Secretary;

  • (f) monitoring and evaluating the performance of the executive Directors and the senior management team of their implementing of Company strategy and to satisfy itself, on a reasonable basis, that the level and composition of executive remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to corporate and individual performance is defined;

31

  • (g) satisfying itself that appropriate internal and external audit arrangements are in place and operating effectively;

  • (h) reviewing procedures and practices employed in relation to health, safety and the environment and assessing their adequacy;

  • (i) satisfying itself that the financial statement and other financial disclosures of the Company are fair and accurate;

  • (j) convening and attending general meetings of Shareholders;

  • (k) assessing and approving the Company’s response to proposed transactions which would affect Shareholders’ positions and rights as Shareholders and, where relevant, making recommendations thereon to Shareholders;

  • (l) delegating appropriate powers to the executive Directors and senior management to ensure the effective day-to-day management of the business and monitoring the exercise of these powers;

  • (m) ensuring that policies, procedures and reporting are in place and consistent with the Company's objectives, and that the Company and its officers act legally, ethically and responsibly in all matters;

  • (n) ensuring corporate accountability to the Shareholders, primarily through adopting an effective Shareholder communications strategy, encouraging effective participation at general meetings and, through the Chairman, being the key interface between the Company and its Shareholders;

  • (o) overseeing the Company’s control and accountability systems and approving and monitoring financial and other reporting;

  • (p) making appropriate resources available to senior executives and management in order to achieve the Company’s objectives; and

  • (q) encouraging a corporate culture that promotes ethical and responsible decision-making, compliance with legal responsibilities and transparency through effective and timely reporting.

Board composition

The Directors are subject to election by Shareholders. All Directors are subject to re-election by rotation every three years. The Company's Constitution provides that one-third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Those Directors who are retiring may submit themselves for re-election by Shareholders, including any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy since the date of the previous annual general meeting. The composition of the Board is reviewed at least annually to ensure the balance of skills and experience is appropriate.

Independence of non-executive Directors

The Board recognises that best practice occurs when the Board comprises a majority of non-executive Directors. The Board continues to strive to meet the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations published by the ASX or other such principles and guidance as the Board may consider appropriate from time to time, however the Board also recognises that complying with the ASX Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2.1 “A majority of the Board should be independent directors” is not always

32

practical given the size of the Company and the industry in which it operates. The Board instead aims to assess the independence of the Company’s nonexecutive Director on an ongoing basis, requiring full disclosure where conflicts of interests arise.

Independent professional advice

The Board has adopted a formal policy on access to independent professional advice which provides that Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice for the purposes of the proper performance of their duties. The advice is at the Company's expense, subject to the prior approval of the Chairman. Advice so obtained is made available to all Directors.

Committees

Due to the size of the Company, the Board has not formally constituted an Audit Committee. The entire Board currently undertakes the duties of an Audit Committee which include:

  • (a) reviewing and reporting to the Board on the annual and half year financial reports, the financial section of quarterly reports and all other financial information published by the Company prior to release to Shareholders and other public forums;

  • (b) assisting the Board in reviewing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control environment, covering:

  • (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations;

  • (ii) reliability of financial reporting;

  • (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and

  • (iv) monitoring of corporate risk assessment processes;

  • (v) co-ordinating the audit with the external auditor, including reviews of internal control measures;

  • (vi) reviewing and approving any significant non-mandatory accounting policy change;

  • (vii) reviewing the audit plan with the external auditor;

  • (viii) recommending to the Board the appointment, removal and remuneration of the external auditors, and review the terms of their engagement, the scope and quality of the audit and the auditor’s independence, and considering, if appropriate, the rotation of audit partners; and

  • (ix) reviewing the level of non-audit services provided by the external auditor and ensuring it does not adversely impact on auditor independence.

The Company's auditor is invited to attend the annual general meeting and the Company supports the principle of the auditor being available to answer questions on the conduct of the audit and the content of the audit report.

33

Similarly, due to its size, the Board has not formally constituted a Nomination Committee or Remuneration Committee. The whole Board conducts the functions of a Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee.

Remuneration

Executive Directors and key executives are remunerated by way of a salary or consultancy fees, commensurate with their required level of services. Nonexecutive Directors receive a fixed monthly fee for their services as nonexecutive Directors and those non-executive Directors' fees are capped at $250,000 per annum in aggregate.

Risk management

The Board recognises that risk management and internal compliance and control are key elements of good corporate governance and integral to the Company’s objectives of creating and maintaining Shareholder value and the successful implementation of the Company’s operations.

The Board as a whole is responsible for overseeing the processes by which risk is considered for both ongoing operations and prospective actions.

Management is responsible for establishing procedures which provide assurance that major business risks are identified, consistently assessed and appropriately addressed.

Not all aspects of risk management can be formalised and the Company places considerable reliance on the skill, experience and judgment of its people to take risk managed decisions within the policy framework, and to communicate openly on all risk related matters.

New risks will be identified by the Board in consultation with management as each new initiative/project is considered and implemented.

Periodically (as deemed necessary by the Board in consultation with management), existing Projects will be reviewed to identify new risks and monitor existing risks to ensure all risks are being effectively managed.

Management evaluates each risk through a process of allocating an appropriate rating of probability (e.g. high, substantial, medium, low or negligible), impact, risk and effectiveness controls. This evaluation process determines whether the current management of each risk is within a predetermined acceptable level or whether action needs to be taken to treat the risk. Management further identifies what monitoring is required i.e. active or periodic and whether review by Board or management is required.

Monitoring the status of each risk and any necessary action plans relating to their treatment takes place on a regular basis by controlled self assessment as well as by management’s regular review of risk action plans, with respect to the effectiveness and suitability of each risk action plan.

The overall results of these assessments are presented to the Board at least annually and updated as necessary.

Any action or recommendations by senior management arising out of these review processes are approved by the Board and implemented by management.

34

Ethical standards

The Board is committed to promoting the practice of high ethical standards.

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct which details the Company’s commitment to ethical and responsible decision marking and corporate practices.

The Code of Conduct sets out the Company’s principles, practices and standards of personal and corporate behaviour. The Company expects everyone who works for or with the Company to adopt it in their daily business activities. The Code covers matters such as:

  • (a) compliance with laws and regulations;

  • (b) responsibility to Shareholders and the community;

  • (c) confidentiality;

  • (d) privacy;

  • (e) conflicts of interest; and

  • (f) the protection and proper use of the Company’s assets.

Trading in the Company's securities by Directors and senior executives

The Board has adopted a policy in relation to dealings in the securities of the Company which applies to all Directors and senior executives. Under the policy, Directors and senior executives are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities whilst in possession of inside information.

At any other time, Directors and senior executives must notify the Chairman (or in the case of the Chairman, the Company Secretary) of any proposed transaction and must obtain clearance for the transaction to proceed.

Continuous disclosure

The Board is committed to the promotion of investor confidence by ensuring that trading in the Company's securities takes place in an efficient, competitive and informed market. In accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements under the ASX Listing Rules, the Company has procedures in place to ensure that all price sensitive information is identified, reviewed by management and disclosed to the ASX in a timely manner and that all information provided to the ASX is immediately available to Shareholders and the market on the Company's website.

Communication with Shareholders

The Board aims to ensure that Shareholders are kept informed of all major developments affecting the Company. Information is communicated to Shareholders through:

  • (a) continuous disclosure in the form of public announcements on ASX;

  • (b) annual and quarterly reports to Shareholders;

35

  • (c) investor briefings;

  • (d) the Chairman's address delivered at the annual general meeting;

  • (e) notices of all meetings of Shareholders and explanatory notes of proposed resolutions; and

  • (f) whenever there are other significant developments to report, by other means as well, such as by post.

The following policies and procedures have been implemented and are available in full on the Company’s website at www.riedelresources.com.au.

  • Statement of Board and management functions;

  • Code of conduct for Directors and key executives;

  • Share trading policy;

  • Shareholder communications strategy;

  • Risk management policy;

  • Remuneration Committee charter;

  • Process for performance evaluation of the Board, board committees, individual Directors and key executives; and

  • Corporate code of conduct.

The Board will consider on an ongoing basis its Corporate Governance procedures and whether they are sufficient given the Company’s nature of operations and size.

In addition, the following internal policies and procedures have been adopted by the Company:

  • Risk Management

  • Board Representations

  • Directors Responsibility

  • Criminal Convictions

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Executive Summary

Riedel Resources Limited is currently preparing to apply for listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) via an Initial Public Offering (I.P.O). ADX Energy Limited (formerly AuDAX Resources Limited) announced on 14/09/2010 that it had decided to divest its gold, copper and nickel projects into this newly incorporated company. ADX intend to complete the spin-off by November 2010.

The company holds a number of mineral tenements Within Western Australia, with the intention of conducting exploration, mainly for gold and copper mineralisation. The Company’s project areas include Cheriton’s East, Marymia, Millrose and Mount Webb (Fig.1). All these areas are considered to have recognised potential for hosting either/or economic gold, copper, nickel, base metals or uranium mineralisation.

Cheriton’s East

The Cheriton’s East gold prospect is located 48km south-east of Marvel Loch in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. It is approximately 2km south of the Redwing Deposit which has an estimated Inferred Resource of 1.4Mt at 2.4g/t Au. E77/1223 covers a total area of 58.3km[2] and overlies the southern strike extension of the Redwing gold mineralisation. It is considered to have the potential to host a major low to medium grade gold deposit and possibly also nickel mineralisation.

Marymia

The Marymia Project Area is located approximately 180km northeast of Meekatharra in the Peak Hill district of Western Australia and lies within the Marymia Dome. The Marymia Project Area is comprised of two large contiguous exploration licences which overlie most of the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt. E52/2394 and E52/2395 occupy a total area of approximately 431.4km[2] .

Exploration drilling has outlined sporadic gold mineralisation hosted in a granophyric dolerite sill. There is potential for ’blind’, primary gold mineralisation beneath over-thrust granite in the project area. Much of the ultramafic strikelength in the project area remains untested by modern day exploration techniques.

The Marymia Project Area is along strike from Sandfire Resources’ Doolgunna copper-gold project at DeGrussa, which lies approximately 50km WSW of the tenements. The indicated and inferred resource for this high grade volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralisation was upgraded in September 2010 to 10.67Mt at 5.6% Cu; 1.9g/t Au and 15g/t Ag. This is comprised of an Indicated Resource of 8.15 Mt @ 5.8% Cu, 1.8g/t Au and 14g/t Ag and an Inferred Resource of 2.52Mt @ 5.2% Cu, 2.3g/t Au and 15g Ag. The Sipa Resources’ Thaduna Copper Project and Lodestar Minerals Ltd’s base metals ‘Conductor’ targets have also recently been identified to the SW of Riedel Resources’ leases.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Executive Summary

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Millrose

The Millrose Project Area is located within the Yandal / Millrose Greenstone Belt, in the Murchison region of the north-eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. It is situated approximately 80km north-east of Wiluna. The Millrose Project Area is comprised of E53/1304 and E53/1305, which have a combined area of 119.8km[2] . An Inferred Resource of 4Mt at 2.4g/t Au for 308,600 oz has been outlined from drilling carried out on E53/1304, prior to and during 1999. No additional field-work has been conducted since 2005. There is considered excellent potential to increase the present inferred resource.

Mount Webb

The Mt Webb Project Area is located in the Lake Mackay region in Western Australia, close to the WA-NT border. These isolated tenements are approximately 1,300km east of Wiluna. The project area is comprised of four tenements, namely E80/4165, E80/4166, E80/4167 and E80/4429 which have a combined area of 568.1km[2] . Each of the “hot” granites within these leases will be evaluated for its uranium, gold and copper potential. The mineralisation is expected to be associated with one of the Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) subtypes.

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Riedel Resources Limited, 2010 Suite 6, 2nd Floor, 11 Ventnor Avenue, WEST PERTH, Western Australia.

22[nd] October,

Dear Sirs,

Introduction

This report has been prepared by AM&A at your request to provide an independent appraisal of the current project areas to be acquired by Riedel Resources Limited in Western Australia. The company’s core projects include Cheriton’s East, Marymia, Millrose and Mount Webb. It also holds a number of prospective second tier projects in W.A, not included in this appraisal.

The Independent Geological Report set out in this Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with the Code and Guidelines for Assessment and Valuation of Mineral Assets and Mineral Securities for Independent Expert Reports (Valmin Code), the Joint Ore Resources Committee (JORC) Code and Guidelines for reporting on mineral exploration results and ore resources and the rules and guidelines relating to Independent Expert Reports set by the Australian Securities Industry Commission (“ASIC”) and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

This report has been prepared for inclusion in a Prospectus to be issued by Riedel Resources Ltd on or about 3[rd] November, 2010 offering 35m shares at 20c to raise $7m.

This report has been prepared by Allen J. Maynard.

  • Allen J. Maynard is the Principal of AM&A, a qualified geologist, a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy (“AusIMM”) and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (“AIG”). He has had 30 years experience in mineral exploration and evaluation and more than 25 years experience in mineral asset valuation.

Neither the writer nor any of his associates or employees have any material interest either direct, indirect or contingent in Riedel Resources Ltd nor in any of the mineral assets included in this report nor in any other Riedel Resources Ltd asset nor has any such interest existed previously. No commercial relationship has existed between AM&A and Riedel Resources Ltd prior to the appointment to prepare this Report.

AM&A has had no input into the formulation of any of the mineral tenements under review. This geological report has been prepared by AM&A strictly in the role of an independent consulting geologist.

The present status of tenements listed in this report is based on information provided by Riedel Resources Ltd and the report has been prepared on the assumption that the tenements will prove lawfully accessible for evaluation and development. Riedel Resources Ltd has warranted to AM&A that full disclosure has been made of all material information in its possession or knowledge and that such information is complete, accurate and true. None of the information provided by Riedel Resources Ltd has been specified as being confidential and not to be

1.0 Cheriton’s East

1.1 Introduction

Riedel Resources is proposing to target gold and nickel mineralisation in its Cheriton’s East Project Area, south of Marvel Loch in Western Australia. E77/1223 covers a total area of 58.3km[2] . The tenement has minimal outcrop and has only been partly explored previously. The potential of the area to host deep, possibly low to medium grade gold and/or nickel mineralisation is recognised but has never been fully evaluated.

Gold was first discovered in the Parker Range region in 1889 when the first Gold Mining Lease, GML 25, was registered in the Parker Range Mining Centre. Previous exploration on the area of interest has been limited and has focused mainly on the search for nickel and gold.

The ELA is located towards the southern extremity of the Parker Range and lies SE of the Redwing Mine and the Cheriton’s Find Bore. The tenement overlies the structurally complex granite-greenstone package that flanks the northern and western perimeter and includes the northwesterly elongated ‘ovoid shaped’ gneissic Parker Dome of the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt.

1.2 Location and Access

The project area is situated approximately 400km east of Perth in the Eastern Goldfields and can be accessed via the Great Eastern Highway. E77/1223 is approximately 75km SSE from Southern Cross. Access to the project Area can be – gained via the Forrestania-Southern Cross Road and then via the Marvel Loch Forrestania Road. The latter traverses the western end of the tenement, providing very good vehicular access (Fig 2).

The Cheriton’s East Project Area is centred on approximately 6470227N 754656E, about 48km SE of the small mining town of Marvel Loch, on the south-western flank of the Parker Dome. It can be found on the 1:100,000 Cheriton’s Find (2834) Topographic Map Sheet and on the 1:250,000 Southern Cross Geological Map Sheet (SH 50-16).

The project area lies approximately 2km SE of Cheriton’s Find Well, Redwing Gold Mine and the historic Cheriton’s Find Gold Mine. Limited bush tracks and cleared grid lines provide restricted access within the tenement. These can become impassable during wet weather. The vegetation is mainly dry woodland, with melaleuca scrub and low acacia heath on areas of laterite and sand-plain and salt-bush around saline areas and drainage systems.

The Cheriton’s East Project Area is almost entirely located within the Jilbadji Nature Reserve. The presence of this reserve complicates the conduction of exploration within the area. Prior to the commencement of any activity within the project area, authorisation for each specific exploration program is required by CALM in an effort to reduce environmental impact where possible.

1.4 Geology

1.4.1 Regional Geology

The Cheriton’s East Project Area is situated in the Southern Cross Province in the south-west corner of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. It lies within the NNW trending Southern Cross Greenstone Belt which extends along strike for 300km from Mt Jackson in the north, to Hatters Hill in the south.

This NNW-SSE trending belt is a strongly deformed, metamorphosed, synformal remnant of a once-larger greenstone assemblage. It has been re-shaped and attenuated by the emplacement of domal (anti-formal) syntectonic granitoids (Gee, 1995). These granitoid domes include the Parker, Ghooli and Rankin Domes (Gee, 1982; Keats, 1991). Cheriton’s East is located on the southern end of the Parker Dome (Fig 5).

Based on the results of previous exploration programs the greenstone belt is interpreted to have been regionally folded into a gently north-plunging syncline with sediments occurring in the fold core above the older mafic, ultramafic and Banded Iron Formation (BIF) units.

The lower-most stratigraphic level of the Archaean greenstone sequence consists of quartz-muscovite schist (probably foliated granite). This unit is overlain by pillowed tholeiitic basalt with interbedded thin jaspilite units, passing upward into komatiite, with related interflow sedimentary units.

This package was subsequently overlain by mafic and ultramafic volcanics. A sedimentary sequence of psammitic and pelitic rocks occurs near the top of this lower sequence. The entire greenstone sequence is intruded by late-stage pegmatites and the belt has been cross-cut by Proterozoic dolerite dykes.

Deformation is attributed to compression between diapirically rising granitoids and dextral transpressional movement. The progressive deformation process has produced upright folds, possible sheath folds, dextral oblique-slip transpressional shears and discrete faults.

Gold mineralisation occurs in all structural elements related to transpressional movement following or during peak metamorphism (Gee, 1995). On a regional scale, sheared lithological contacts are the primary control on the distribution of gold mineralisation. Most of the belt’s production has been derived from shear-hosted deposits (Marvel Loch, Yilgarn Star and Frasers) and to a lesser degree from BIFhosted and quartz vein related deposits (Copperhead, Golden Pig and Bounty).

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 7

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Figure 5: Cheriton’s East Regional Geology.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 8

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Shear zone-hosted deposits occur near or along lithological contacts within broad, ductile shear zones that are commonly much wider than the zone of mineralisation.

These deposits contain single or multi-sheeted lodes, which parallel the stratigraphy and generally plunge parallel to the mineral lineation which is generally to the south. Mineral deposits are typically adjacent to obliquely striking secondary shear zones. Fold-hinge deposits are less numerous, consisting of thin stockwork veins sub-parallel to the fold hinges (Ridley 1995).

Gold mineralisation is commonly located along contacts where there is a ductility contrast between rock types. Sediment/ultramafic and mafic/ultramafic contacts provide such a contrast, as do the interflow sediments and jaspilites within the mafic/ultramafic sequences. High magnesium ultramafics are also deemed to be highly prospective for nickel and associated base metals mineralisation.

The major gold deposits are in quartz-sulphide lodes within the shear zones and sheared lithological contacts, with variable biotite-carbonate-silica-diopside alteration and varying degrees of gold mineralisation in the altered wall rocks. Stratigraphic and structural controls appear to have combined to allow the formation of epigenetic gold deposits.

The dominant sulphide minerals associated with gold deposits in the district are pyrite and pyrrhotite, with minor arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite; as well as sporadic galena and scheelite. Gold occurs as freely existing particles and as inclusions in pyrite and arsenopyrite.

The metamorphic grade of the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt ranges from Upper Greenschist to Granulite facies. There is evidence of a later retrogressive greenschistfacies event recorded by retrograde tremolite-actinolite, sericite and chlorite in mafic and pelitic rocks (Keats, 1991).

1.4.2 Local Geology

Exposure on E77/1223 is limited mainly to minor outcrops of Archaean chloritetremolite-chlorite ultramafic schist (derived from komatiitic basalts), granitoids, gneisses, pegmatites, pelitic metasediments and dolerite. Sand-plain and laterite surface cover overlies much of the project area. These deposits include Quaternary colluvium, clay and silt playa deposits and gypsiferous sand and silt dune deposits; and Tertiary laterite and sand deposits. Residual landscapes within the project area are characterised by remnant ‘islands’ of nodular and pisolitic duricrust or loose pisolites and sand (Fig 4).

Bedrock geology is dominated by granitoids, with remnants of folded greenstone belt comprised of amphibolite, meta-pyroxenite and tremolite-chlorite ultramafic schist. Sheared lithological contacts between these basic rock units should constitute prime targets for gold exploration in the project area. The auriferous mineralisation in the Cheriton’s Find area is hosted by a finely banded amphibolite, associated with the

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 9

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

dextral and sinistral shear regime that has produced major and minor offsets to the stratigraphy.

The southern extremity of the lease overlies an E-W trending metasediment/greenstone contact on the eastern side of the project area. This contact swings NW-SE on the western side of the lease. Much of the strike of the stratigraphy (and the mineralisation) is off-set in en echelon fashion by strike-slip faulting. Most of these are dextral but some sinistral strike-slip faulting does occur. The aeromagnetics for the project area clearly highlights the greenstone stratigraphy and picks out the major N-S dextral strike-slip fault in the south-east of the tenement (Fig 3).

Resource drilling conducted by Sons of Gwalia Ltd in 2000 on what was the Redwing Prospect, confirmed that the auriferous quartz veins dip shallowly to the west within a WNW striking sequence of para-amphibolites (metasediments), ultramafic, orthoamphibolites (basalts) and BIF which extend a further 2.5km south on to what is now E77/1223.

The RC drilling showed that the Redwing stratigraphy comprises hanging-wall ultramafics, para-amphibolite hosting the auriferous quartz veins and an orthoamphibolite footwall. A similar stratigraphy occurs in the project area (Fig 6).

1.5 GOLD MINERALISATION IN THE PARKER RANGE REGION

Known gold mineralisation within the greenstone belt on the western edge of the Parker Dome extends southward for over 35km of strike, with numerous small previously discovered gold workings including Gondwana Resources’ Buffalo, Centenary and Spring Hill prospects (Fig 5).

Three distinct styles of gold mineralisation have been identified within the greenstone belt:

a) Centenary-Spring Hill type, Parker Range Banded Iron Formation (BIF)

b) Mt Caudan type, Sulphide-Rich Felsic Sediments & BIF

  • c) McIntosh type (Ultramafic Contacts)

Gold mineralisation within the Project Area is most likely to belong to the McIntosh type.

The Cheriton’s Group gold workings are located approximately 2km north of E77/1223 are up to 20m in depth. The workings are hosted by a finely banded amphibolite. Ore zones consist of small, lenticular pod-like quartz veins, generally 0.15-0.3m wide (max.1.2m) and some minor lode material which is concordant with the local regional foliation at 315°- 320°/40-50° SW. Wall-rock alteration includes carbonation and calcsilicate layering.

At Redwing, quartz veins are 1-4m true thickness and contain free gold. The veins have defined alteration haloes calc-silicate, carbonate, garnet and pyrite alteration, similar to those noted in the historic Cheriton’s Find workings. R.C drilling by Sons of Gwalia confirmed that mineralisation extends down to 160m vertical depth.

Lithology is the region’s primary mineralisation control and almost all the district’s gold producers occur on or within the contact of major mafic sequences. The region’s notable exception is the British Hills deposit, which is 3km ESE of E77/1223, where gold mineralisation occurs in the upper sedimentary sequence.

All the important gold deposits can be related to a ductility contrast between differing lithologies. They are usually associated with high magnesian, komatiitic and ultramafic amphibolites. Mineralisation can be described as quartz-sulphide lodes in shear zones, with variable biotite-chlorite-carbonate-silica-diopside alteration and varying degrees of gold mineralization in the altered wall-rocks.

The major contrast in ductility between the two sequences has resulted in the focus of folding and faulting along the contact which in turn has influenced the movement of metamorphic fluids and the subsequent formation of gold deposits.

A contrasting range of structural settings are recognized in the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt. The vast majority of gold has been produced from distinctive shear-

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

zone hosted (Frasers & Yilgarn Star) and folds hinge-hosted (Nevoria) deposits although, unlike other Western Australian greenstone belts, the mafic rocks are not the dominant mineralised host rock.

Gold mineralisation is usually hosted by metavolcanic or BIF units. The shear zone settings are often small-scale and associated with extensional features such as necks of boudinaged BIF, en echelon quartz veining and dilational zones related to subtle changes in the shear zone trend and/or extensional crenulation cleavages. Gold deposits within these shear zones are always associated with lithological contacts. Most of the gold mineralisation surrounding the Parker Dome seems to be related to deposits in layer parallel (or slightly oblique) ductile shear zones.

The majority of significant gold mineralisation in the Parker Range area has derived from the Great Victoria & Nevoria Mines. Gold mineralisation commonly occurs in cross-cutting quartz veins and stringers that are usually enveloped by wall-rock alteration that has destroyed the (D2) structures. Thus confirming the major gold mineralising event occurred after peak (D2) deformation and occurred during (M3) metasomatism by late stage granitoids (Bagas 1994).

1.6 Previous Exploration

Until Sons of Gwalia (S.O.G) conducted auger soil sampling, RAB and R.C drilling on what is now E77/1223, only the northern and southern extremes of the project area had undergone exploration in the past. The exploration conducted by S.O.G between19962003 comprehensively covered much of what became E77/1223, although the eastern central section of the lease has yet to be test drilled.

Modern day exploration programs initially targeted nickel mineralisation around the historic Cheriton’s Find workings, north of the Cheriton’s East Project Area. These comprised a ground magnetic survey, soil and pisolite sampling programs and the metallurgical testing of two potential nickel gossans. No further exploration for nickel in the project area has been conducted since 2003.

From 1995-2003 mapping programs and further geochemical surveys were conducted but drilling focused mainly on gold exploration.

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Figure 7: Cheriton’s East Local Geology with Drill Nickel Values.

A low grade auriferous lateritic ore-body, which was defined by a soil sampling program, was mined north of E77/1223 around the historic Cheriton’s workings in 1993, in a joint venture between Nevoria Mines and AuDAX Resources. Over 200 oz Au were produced from 5,642t at 1.17g/t Au.

Exploration conducted by AuDAX Resources Ltd and Sons Of Gwalia from 1995 onwards concentrated mainly on the definition and delineation of the Cheriton’s Find Laterite and Redwing Resource on M77/1078. In March 2005 S.O.G sold its gold mining operations to St Barbara Mining Limited (SBM). Oldcity Nominees Pty Ltd is now the holder of E77/1223.

R.C drilling conducted just south of E77/1223 (on what was part of E77/085) in 2006 by LionOre Australia intersected minor low grade auriferous, sulphidic quartz veins hosted in sheared ultramafics and dolerites. Thus confirming that the mineralisation drilled on E77/1223 by S.O.G is continuing south along strike.

There could well be potential along strike and down-dip of the current mineralisation. Further in-fill (and deeper) drilling is required to delineate additional higher-grade intersections, as existing data indicates these may be sporadic and possibly only represent small shoots within the general shallow-dipping structure.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 13

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

The grade control problems associated with open pit mining of a gently dipping orebody would be a disadvantage but the presence of ‘spotty’ coarse gold in the quartz veins can result in the underestimation of grade when the density of exploration drilling is insufficient (e.g Kingfisher Underground Mine, near Gidgee.) With a current gold price around $1,200 per ounce it would now seem to be an ideal opportunity to exploit this low to medium grade deposit.

Table 2: Cheriton’s East Recent Exploration Summary.

Although the tenement has had a number of soil sampling programs conducted on it, the lease has never been assessed using the Mobile Metal Ions (MMI) sampling method. In recent years improved geochemical techniques have provided the MMI sampling method, which can be employed to pinpoint likely drill targets beneath duricrust and below any previously identified gold anomalies.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 14

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

This method has recently been utilized in the Parker Range area with great success by Gondwana Resources to define significant gold and nickel mineralisation. Gondwana has most recently discovered the Tamarin Nickel prospect (between Mt Caudan and Golden Virgin) using the MMI sampling procedure.

An MMI sampling program could reveal if any gold identified is transported or confirm whether there is ’blind’, primary gold and possibly nickel mineralisation beneath the sand-plains and laterites.

The MMI soil sampling geochemical technique was developed to assist in the detection of mineralisation at depth. The sophisticated but subtle procedure only strips mobile metal ions from the surface of soil particles which have migrated upwards from the mineralisation below. The MMI technique uses a partial dissolution, without digesting the soil itself to measure the metal ion concentrations in ppb.

These MMI soil surveys can produce sharp responses for anomalies, not only pinpointing the position of mineral resources, but also indicating the direction of dip of a deposit. Hence this technique is superior to conventional soil sampling, as it does not produce false anomalies and it allows targeted exploration for drilling or geophysics to be conducted on zones identified by this type of sampling at a significant cost-saving as no RAB drilling is required.

Any new targets identified by MMI sampling should be test-drilled, ideally by using R.C drilling. Little targeted, deep exploration drilling has been completed in the project area previously and as a consequence the potential of the lease to host any moderately deep, possibly medium grade gold and/or nickel mineralisation has never been fully evaluated.

Figure 8: Cheriton’s East Exploration Targets.

1.7 Exploration Potential

This under-explored tenement is a prime target for the discovery of significant low to medium grade gold mineralisation, as a strike extension of the auriferous quartz veins that were test drilled at Redwing which is approximately 2km north of E77/1223.

Previous drilling for the Redwing Deposit conducted by SOG in 2000 estimated an inferred resource of 1.4 Mt at 2.4g/t Au but indicated restricted strike and dip continuity of the mineralised quartz veins. The mineralisation target is currently only widely drilled and is in the Inferred Resource category and additional drilling is required to confirm the geometry and grade of the gold mineralisation and aim to move it into the Measured and Indicated status before it can be mined (Fig 8).

The Southern Cross-Marvel Loch region exhibits zones of near surface gold depletion related to oxidation of the profile. In the past, some tenements in the Parker Range area have only undergone shallow RAB drilling, which failed to penetrate beyond the depletion zone. As a consequence large areas of prospective ground within the belt have been surrendered prematurely without having been tested at depth.

1.8 Proposed Exploration Program

Two essential steps need to be taken prior to the commencement of a new exploration program:

Obtain approvals to operate in the Jilbadji Nature Reserve.

2.0 Marymia

2.1 Introduction

The Marymia Project Area is located approximately 180km north-east of Meekatharra in Western Australia and lies within the Marymia Dome. The latter comprises an Archaean basement high, which hosts a complexly folded and faulted greenstone sequence which forms part of the major Proterozoic Capricorn Orogenic Belt.

Previous exploration has consisted of acquisition, processing and interpretation of remote sensing data, geological mapping, soil, lag and rock chip sampling, RAB and limited RC and diamond drilling. The stratigraphy, structure and mineralisation encountered to date are considered encouraging and further work is considered warranted.

A high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was completed in October 2004 by AuDAX Resources Ltd. Magnetic, radiometric and Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (Aster) satellite data was processed, imaged and interpreted. Interpretation of the magnetic data defined a number of gold and nickel targets. A number of geochemical targets generated previously still require follow-up exploration.

Although a major gold occurrence has yet to be identified in the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt, there may well be potential for ’blind’, primary gold mineralisation beneath over-thrust granite in the project area; as was the case with the world-class Plutonic gold deposit which lies 50km west of the leases.

A Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) sampling program could be utilized to identify deeply buried mineralisation, obscured by flat-lying thrust sequences or hosted by flat-lying stratigraphic units at depth. A targeted exploration program could possibly lead to the discovery of a greenfields deposit in the area. MMI sampling could also be utilized to further assess nickel mineralisation in the project area.

Recent successes in the region by other exploration companies in detecting base metals deposits by using surface electro-magnetic survey (EM) and airborne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic Survey (VTEM, may well indicate that there is potential for sediment-hosted copper mineralisation on both E52/2394 and E52/2395.

2.2 Location and Access

The Marymia Project Area is located in the Peak Hill District of the North-eastern Goldfields in the Murchison Region of Western Australia (Fig 9). The tenements are located approximately 965km NNE of Perth, 180km NE of Meekatharra and 130km ENE of the historic Peak Hill mining centre.

The project area is situated on the Ned’s Creek and Marymia pastoral leases. Access is via the Great Northern Highway and then eastwards on the track to Thaduna and then via station and fence-line tracks. Alternatively the tenements can be accessed from the Wiluna North Road (which passes to the south-west of the leases) and then via the Ned’s Creek Station gravel road and various station tracks.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 18

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

The leases can be found on the 1:100,000 Marymia Topographic Sheet (2847) and the Peak Hill (SG 50-8) and Nabberu (SG 51-5) 1:250,000 Geological Map Sheets.

The southernmost lease E52/2394 is centred on 798322E 7195380N and E52/2395 is centred on 793541E 7206298N. The former overlies the historic gold mining centres in the NE of the lease at Baumgartens East, Baumgartens South, Baumgartens North, Baumgartens Reward 2 and Yowereena and also the Yowereena Hill Mine at the SW end of E52/2394.

2.3 Tenure

The Marymia Project Area is comprised of two major contiguous ELAs, which overlie most of the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt (Fig 9). E52/2394 and E52/2395 occupy a total area of approximately 431.37 km[2] . Galtrad Pty Ltd has retained a 10% (or 5% on nickel and associated metals) free carried interest in both leases.

2.4 Geology

2.4.1 Regional Geology

The project area overlies the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt which forms the eastern side of the Marymia Dome, within the Marymia Inlier. Similar to the Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt to the west, the area is poorly exposed and extensively intruded by granitoids (Fig10).

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 20

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

The Archaean granite-greenstone rocks of the Marymia Inlier outcrop within Proterozoic rocks forming the Capricorn Orogen. Five major deformation events are recognised in the rocks of the Plutonic Well and Baumgarten Greenstone Belts. The first two events were of late Archaean age and synchronous with major epithermal gold mineralisation occurring in the belts. Palaeoproterozoic extensional faulting was probably related to the early stages of the Capricorn Orogeny. The fourth event records a compressional phase of the Capricorn Orogeny associated with greenschist-facies metamorphism, whereas the last major event involved wrench-faulting associated with minor folding.

The Archaean tectonic history, rock types and timing of mineralisation strongly suggest that the Marymia Inlier is part of the Yilgarn Craton, and that each of the provinces in the craton experienced the same geological history since 2.72 Ga. The inlier is now interpreted to include two components; one is the north-eastern extension of the Murchison Province (or possibly the Southern Cross Province) and the other is the north-western extension of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The Jenkin Fault, which was active during Proterozoic times, separates these two components.

The Baumgarten Greenstone Belt is broadly antiformal with tholeiitic basalt and ultramafics at its core and is overlain by metasediments. This sequence of strongly folded komatiitic ultramafic rocks has a combined strike-length in excess of 20km.

The Baumgarten Greenstone Belt consists of a northern portion of pelitic schist, BIF, chert, amphibolite, and ultramafic rocks, faulted against a southern portion of peridotite and komatiite overlain by basalt, gabbro, pelite, and quartzite.

Contacts with overlying Proterozoic basins dip north-west and are tectonised 'probable unconformities'. The southern boundary is inverted, with granite thrust over the Proterozoic rocks.

Any epigenetic gold deposits occurring in the project area are expected to be shear or fault-hosted, like those of the Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt. To date, sporadic gold mineralisation intersected by exploration drilling has mainly been in a granophyric dolerite sill.

2.4.2 Local Geology

Much of the outcrop of the Archaean and Proterozoic lithological sequences in the greenstone belt within the project area is obscured by extensive, unconsolidated Quaternary colluvium, alluvium and aeolian sand and by Tertiary lateritic cover. The tenement areas have very low relief, with a gradual decrease in elevation from the NNW to the SSE. Ill-defined sheet-wash and alluvial channels drain to the SSE into the main drainage.

The bedrock (and surface geology) is dominated by Archaean biotite adamellite (Figs 10 and 11). Other Archaean units partially exposed and present in the bedrock include ultramafic-derived chlorite-tremolite schist, pelitic sedimentary (siliclastic) rocks, including quartzite and B.I.F and metamorphosed tholeiitic basalt (amphibolite).

Palaeoproterozoic units identified in the bedrock geology (and outcropping sporadically) include the Juderina Formation sandstones and siltstones and the Johnson Cairn Formation shale and siltstone of the Glengarry Group. Neoproterozoic sandstones and conglomerates of the Yelma Formation (Earaheedy Group) underlie much of E52/2394.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 22

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

E52/2394 has only a weak aeromagnetic signature compared to E52/2395 but it does have amphibolite in the northern end of the lease and the sediments are believed to be underlain by basalt and komatiites (Figs 11 and 12).

An extension of the Jenkin Fault trends NE-SW through much of E52/2395 and constitutes a prime target for structurally controlled copper, gold and silver mineralisation. This major lineament is a dextral strike-slip fault and has a displacement of approximately 3km.

2.5 Previous Exploration

There is minimal evidence of early prospecting in the Plutonic-Marymia area, despite the discovery of gold at Peak Hill in 1892, some 120km SW of Marymia. The small underground workings at Baumgarten were developed in the 1930s but no major gold deposit has been discovered to date in the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt.

Major gold mineralisation in the Marymia area was only discovered in the late 1980s by Great Central Mines, when a RAB drilling program intersected ‘blind’ gold mineralisation around what became Plutonic Gold Mine. Much of the project area is comprised of barren granite, which is considered non-prospective for gold or base metals.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 24

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

The lack of outcrop has led to a reliance on remote sensing methods for interpretation purposes. Unfortunately using aeromagnetic data in some parts of the region has had limited success in the past because the greenstone stratigraphy is often obscured beneath deep surface cover and/or over-thrust sheets of granite.

Limited nickel exploration of the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt sequence was carried out in the early 1970’s, with several significant surface samples being identified. In 1992-1998 Growth Resources NL/Galtrad Pty Ltd assessed the nickel potential within what has now become the project area using modern exploration models and techniques. This included a helicopter borne magnetic survey of the K13 and K14 anomalies.

In 1992-3 Geochemex completed soil/lag/interface sampling for Galtrad Pty Ltd on E52/592, part of which is now included in E52/2395. They targeted areas considered prospective for Au and evaluated some airborne magnetic targets. Soil and lag were assayed for Au, As, Cu, Fe. Drill interface samples were analysed for Au, As, Cu, Fe & selective samples for Pb, Zn, Ni, Nb, Ag. Their work defined numerous areas of Au, Cu and As anomalism & magnetic targets K5, K6, K8 & K9 being anomalous in Ni.

Much of the ultramafic strike-length in the project area remains untested by modern day exploration techniques. Historical drilling in Area 6 intersected 12m at 0.65% Ni. In the K5 Area 8m at 1.05% Ni was intersected and in Area 7 an intercept of 4m at 1.07% Ni was returned.

Relatively recent gold exploration on the project area is summarised below in Table 6.

2.6 Exploration Potential

There is the potential for the presence of a number of different styles of mineralisation in the project area. These include structurally controlled gold and copper-gold, magmatic nickel sulphide and sediment-hosted base metals mineralisation.

Although a major gold occurrence has yet to be identified in the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt, there may well be potential for ‘blind’, primary gold mineralisation beneath over-thrust granite in the project area; as was the case with the world class Plutonic gold deposit which lies 50km west of the leases. There are significant similarities in the geology of the two areas.

The geology, structure and mineralisation encountered to date are considered encouraging and further work is warranted to further test the identified mineralisation. An MMI sampling program could be utilized to identify deeply buried gold and/or nickel mineralisation, which may be obscured by flat-lying thrust sequences or hosted by flatlying stratigraphic units at depth. Deep exploration drilling could then be employed to test any targets thus identified.

The project area has had limited exploration for nickel conducted on it since the 1970s. Nevertheless anomalous soil and rock chip assays identified by Geochemex, along with several significant drill intercepts; require further evaluation using modern day techniques. MMI sampling could be utilized as a cost efficient method to assess the largely untested strike-length of the ultramafics in the Marymia Project Area.

Although minimal field-work has been conducted on the project area tenements during the last 10 years, there are nevertheless several drill-ready targets and numerous untested or partially tested drill, surface geochemical, geophysical, structural and magnetic targets which require further evaluation.

There has been considerable renewed interest in the Doolgunna/Marymia region in recent years, since the discovery of the major DeGrussa copper deposit. The Marymia Project Area is along strike from Sandfire Resources’ Doolgunna copper-gold project at DeGrussa, which lies approximately 50km WSW of the tenements.

The indicated and inferred resource for this high grade volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralisation was upgraded in September 2010 to 10.67Mt @ 5.6% Cu, 1.9g/t Au and 15g/t Ag, containing 600,000t Cu, 660,000t oz Au and 5.1Moz Ag. This is comprised of an Indicated Resource of 8.15 Mt @ 5.8% Cu, 1.8g/t Au and 14g/t Ag and an Inferred Resource of 2.52Mt @5.2% Cu, 2.3g/t Au and 15g Ag (Fig 10).

The DeGrussa deposit is located within the Jenkin Fault Complex, and appears to be comprised of sub-parallel, south dipping, sheets of massive copper-bearing sulphides beneath an oxidised gold-bearing cap. The VMS mineralisation occurs in a 2km thick volcano-sedimentary sequence at the top of the Palaeoproterozoic Narracoota Volcanics Formation.

The prospective ‘corridor’ for this mineralisation theoretically intersects the Marymia Project Area. Although there is no known Narracoota Volcanics occurrence on the tenements, there is a substantial area of bedrock sediments belonging to the Johnson Cairn Formation and these are bounded to the NW by the extension of the Jenkin

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 27

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Fault. Lodestar Minerals Ltd has recently identified several electrical conductors in this unit, which could potentially host major, deeply buried base metals mineralisation. Both surface electro-magnetic survey (EM) and airborne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic Survey (VTEM) methods have been employed by various explorers on nearby leases to identify deeply buried electrical conductors throughout the region.

Lodestar Minerals Ltd recently identified numerous conductors on their Ned’s Creek E52/2456 tenement (west of E52/2394) and five of these have been modelled prior to test drilling. Some of these conductor anomalies border the western boundary of E52/2394, indicating that there is possibly a sediment-hosted, conductive base metals target to test along the western margin of E52/2394.

Sipa Resources reported that thirteen high-quality, conductor targets had been identified from a recently completed airborne electromagnetic (VTEM) survey. Previous RAB drilling by Sipa around the Old Rooney deposit returned [email protected]% Cu, located on one of their newly identified conductor targets. As well as hosting major copper mineralisation there is the possibility that a SEDEX-class lead-zinc deposit may exist. The style of mineralisation may have been influenced by faulting sub-parallel to the Jenkin Fault, which possibly applied a structural control. A RAB and Aircore drilling program has now been completed and results are awaited.

XRF results reported from initial R.C drilling conducted during June 2010 recorded an intercept of 16m at 3.1%Cu in an 80m wide carbonaceous, sulphidic intersection at their Rooney prospect on E52/1673.

Given the outstanding success of some exploration companies utilizing airborne (VTEM) surveys in the region to explore for DeGrussa style mineralisation, this technique could be employed on both E52/2394 and E52/2395. A VTEM survey should be given priority over other methods in the next stage of exploration, as this technique will easily identify any electrical conductor targets that exist and hence allow sampling and drilling programs to be accurately targeted.

Various data sets have been acquired to assist in the identification of drill targets, these include:

  • high resolution magnetics & radiometric data

  • drilling data

  • surface geochemical data

  • remote sensing data – Landsat TM & Aster data

3.0 Millrose Project

3.1 Introduction

The Millrose Project Area is located within the Yandal / Millrose Greenstone Belt, in the Murchison region of the north-eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. It is situated approximately 80km NE of Wiluna and 30km east of Newmont’s Nimary-Jundee operations.

The project area is comprised of two major tenements which have a combined area of 119.8km[2] . The tenements overlie Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) on the Millrose and Lake Violet pastoral leases.

Exploration completed on the tenement during the past 9 years has resulted in the discovery and identification of significant gold mineralisation and an inferred resource at the Old Camp Bore (Millrose South) prospect.

Mineralisation is located within a steeply east dipping, N-S striking shear zone, developed within Archaean intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic tuffs and epiclastic sediments.

The project presently has a JORC Code compliant inferred resource of 4Mt at 2.4g/t Au for 309,000 oz (using a 1.0 g/t Au cut off) on E53/1304. Wide-spaced drilling has identified a number of significant intercepts over a strike-length of some 2.6km to the south of the existing inferred resource.

Only sufficient detailed drilling has been completed to enable a preliminary assessment of the mineralisation potential of the northern portion of the Old Camp Bore prospect. This is known as Millrose South. Apart from reviews of the data, no additional field-work has been carried out on the project area since 2005.

Further exploration and resource drilling is needed in the Millrose Project Area in order to clarify the structural control and assess the continuity of the high-grade shoots within the primary ore zone beneath the proposed open cut.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 30

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

A number of regional prospects, including those in the Roto Bore and Millrose West areas, also require additional evaluation.

3.2 Location and Access

The Millrose Project Area is comprised of E53/1304 and E53/1305 and is on the Millrose 1:100,000 Topographical Map Sheet (3045) and the Millrose 1:250,000 Geological Map Sheet (SG 51-09).

The project area is located approximately 1,065km NNE of Perth and 170km north of Leinster (Fig 13). It can be most easily accessed via the Great Northern Highway, then by the Goldfields Highway and finally via the Wiluna-Granite Peak Road.

The Millrose pastoral station lies approximately 20km west of the leases and Granite Peak is situated 20km NNW of E53/1304.

E53/1304 is centred on 296044E, 7084583N and can be accessed via the Lake Violet/Granite Peak Road, which cuts across much of the tenement. E53/1304 overlies the Old Camp Mine and it has two air-strips at its southern end.

E53/1305 can be accessed by the Granite Peak Road and then via various fence-line tracks. It is centred on 297358E, 7068844N.

The area experiences only low rainfall and vegetation is limited to spinifex on the sandplains and minor areas of thick mulga scrub.

3.3 Tenure

The Millrose Project Area is comprised of two large leases, which are elongated northsouth and overlie much of what was E53/600 (Fig 14). The northern tenement, E53/1304 is 6453.2 Ha and the southern lease, E53/1305 is 5524.2 ha. The tenements overlie the same stratigraphy but are non-contiguous and are separated by a distance of 1.8km. The Granite Peak Road passes through the gap between the leases, providing easy access to both tenements.

3.4 Geology

3.4.1 Regional Geology

The tenement is located in the northern Yandal greenstone belt, close to the northern margin of the Archaean Yilgarn Block in the north-eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia. The northern Yandal greenstone belt comprises two distinct greenstone sequences separated by internal granitoids. The western arm of the greenstone belt is known as the Lake Violet greenstone belt and the eastern arm is known as the Millrose greenstone belt.

The eastern boundary of the Millrose greenstone belt is marked by the Ninnis Fault, from which splays are developed in the southern Yandal greenstone belt. The western halves of the tenements are underlain by greenstone belt lithologies of the eastern (or Millrose) arm of the Yandal Belt, whilst the eastern halves are underlain by granitoids of the Millrose batholith (Fig 15).

The Millrose Fault is located approximately 9km north of Old Camp Bore, immediately north of the northern end of E53/1304. This major E-W trending sinistral strike-slip structure off-sets the northern section of the Millrose greenstone belt by approximately 2km (Fig 15).

The Archaean rocks of the Yandal greenstone belt comprises a lowermost Banded Iron Formation (BIF), extensive basalt and dolerite sills, ultramafic rocks, intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks, and variable clastic sedimentary rocks. Early shear zones trend NNW and form the greenstone belt margins or trend N-S, within the belt. Later brittle cross-faults are critical in gold localization.

All major deposits are hosted by Fe-rich mafic rocks, and mineralisation displays a combination of different orientations and morphologies. Quartz veins are surrounded by broad carbonate alteration with proximal K-mica and Fe-sulphides. The recognition of a critical role for the late brittle structures in localizing gold implicates mid-crustal processes within the greenstone belt for fluid generation, and with the host rock control, supports the model in which fluid was derived by metamorphic devolatilization.

The strata of the Yandal greenstone belt have been dated at 2,700 million years (Ma) old. These were deformed, metamorphosed and intruded by granites at about 2,660 Ma. Recent research suggests that the age of the gold mineralisation may be of a similar age (C.J. Yeats et al, 2001).

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 34

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

==> picture [452 x 486] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 15: Millrose Project Regional Geology.

3.4.2 Local Geology

The majority of the bedrock in the project area is blanketed by a thin veneer of transported material, which in turn overlies a truncated lateritic profile. Outcrop of identifiable Archaean lithologies is limited to small areas in the southern part of the project area, where mafic and felsic schists occur with minor sediments.

The rocks of the Millrose Project Area have a deeply weathered profile. A 50-80m deep depletion zone and a 50-70m thick zone of oxidation exist above the ore zones (Fig 17). Low to medium grade supergene mineralisation in the oxide zone has a

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 35

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

true width of approximately 20m for the central ore zone in the mylonitised and silicified volcaniclastics.

The gold mineralisation in the Millrose Project Area is hosted within a steeply eastdipping, north-south striking shear zone, developed within intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic tuffs and epiclastic sediments (Fig 17). It is typically associated with wide zones of intense silica-haematite-pyrite alteration.

Narrow BIF units to the west (and to a lesser extent the east) of the main mineralised zone, provide useful geological marker horizons (Fig 17). These units have been mapped as zones of ‘weak magnetic response’. Other minor BIF and ultramafic units are largely responsible for the zone of ‘moderate magnetic response’ trending N-S through the tuff/sediment sequence.

Two major sinistral strike-slip faults exist towards the northern end of E53/1304. They each offset the tuffs and sediments comprising the central zone of mineralisation westwards by approximately 100m.

The southern end of E53/1304 is cross-cut by three major E-W trending Proterozoic dykes. These post-date both the Millrose greenstones and the Millrose granite.

The first phase of Diamond Drilling conducted at the Millrose Project Area in 1999 by Mines and Resources resulted in a much greater understanding of the geology of the Old Camp Prospect, allowing correlation between sections for the first time. This was due to the recognition of two narrow units of BIF in the sequence. These units provided good marker horizons that could be easily identified in core and traced through the weathered zone by taking magnetic susceptibility readings of RC drill chips. The lithological package dips at 85° towards the east (Moreau, 1999) with a strike of 358°.

A generalized sequence of lithology and alteration was established, detailed below from east to west:

  • i) Foliated intermediate/mafic volcanics and volcaniclastics with minor chlorite and carbonate alteration.

  • ii) Frequently schistose intermediate/felsic volcaniclastics and tuffs with minor chlorite and moderate sericite alteration.

  • iii) Felsic/intermediate tuffs and volcaniclastics with moderate to intense silicification, moderate to intense shearing and mylonite developed in the main shear zone.

  • iv) BIFs and felsic tuffs - mylonite often developed marginal to BIFs. v) Phyllites and slates - sedimentary and volcanic clastic precursors with minor carbonate alteration and silicification and low to moderate shearing.

Narrow zones of gold mineralisation are occasionally found in zones (i) and (ii). The BIFs are generally not mineralised and no significant mineralisation found to the west of the BIF units. Most fresh rock mineralisation was found in zone (iii).

3.5 Recent Exploration

Historical drilling is considered to have been mainly ineffective with the majority of the drill-holes failing to adequately test the basement or to penetrate the ‘depletion zone’. Limited deeper drilling by Mines and Resources in the late 1990s returned some interesting intercepts in the general Millrose prospect area.

Historical work by Newcrest and BHP in the Millrose West area defined a number of low order gold-in-saprolite anomalies in shallow RAB/AC/RC drilling in the eastern portion of the project area. In many cases drilling failed to penetrate the depletion zone and did not effectively test the basement. Gold and arsenic soil anomalies were defined in the western portion of the tenement by Great Central Mines (GCM). Shallow RAB and vacuum drilling designed to follow up these anomalies once again only partially tested the areas of interest.

AuDAX Resources Ltd conducted much of the significant exploration carried out in the Millrose Project Area. Sufficient detailed drilling has been completed to enable an assessment of the mineralisation potential of the northern portion of the Old Camp Bore prospect. This is known as Millrose South and has an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 4Mt at 2.4g/t Au for 309,000 oz (1 g/t cut off). This resource is categorised as Inferred according to the JORC code because of the lack of QA/QC information on the drilling and sampling and because no mining study has been conducted to determine if this resource can be mined economically.

The inferred resource outlined is split into a North End of 2.5Mt@ 2.5g/t Au and a South End of 1.5Mt@ 2.3g/t Au (Figs 16 and 17).

Wide-spaced drilling has also identified a number of significant intercepts over a strikelength of some 2.6km to the south of the existing inferred resource.

Two traverses drilled 100m to the north and south of the recently discovered North Western Zones (34m at 2.16g/t, including 12m at 5.6g/t Au from 64m, with the drillhole ending in mineralisation) returned 4m at 1g/t Au from 16m and 12m at 1.12g/t Au from 80m and 4m at 1.08g/t Au from 40m and 4m at 1.33/t Au from 76m from drill-holes on the northern traverse and 1m at 1.54g/t Au from 76m ending in mineralisation from a drill-hole drilled on the southern traverse.

A traverse drilled 500m to the north of the northernmost part of the Millrose inferred resource, confirmed strike potential and returned a number of anomalous intercepts including 2m at 1.23g/t Au from 92m from a drill-hole which ended in mineralisation.

Two traverses designed to evaluate the potential of a mineralised structure located some 200-300m to the west of the main Millrose mineralised zone returned interesting supergene anomalism. Gold anomalism has now been defined over a strike length of more than 700m on this western structure.

in variable, deformed intermediate and felsic lithologies. The zone of gold mineralisation is typically characterised by silica-haematite alteration.

Deeper primary intercepts on this section appear to be thin and of moderate-grade. They include AMILC02 1m at 1.33g/t Au from 112m, 1m at 2.28g/t Au from 118m and 2m at 2.0g/t Au from 134m. In AMILC01 intercepts within oxide and transitional zones appear to reflect significant supergene effects and have returned intercepts of 4m at 8.37g/t Au from 60m and 14m at 1.52g/t Au from 78m.

A single RC drill-hole drilled some 200m north of this section and designed to evaluate strike continuity of this zone was disappointing. Despite intersecting the same lithologies and weak silica-haematite alteration, assay results were anomalous but not highly significant.

The strike and dip potential of the Eastern Zone have been RC drilled 100m and 200m north respectively of previous RC drilling for this zone. Wide zones of intense silica-haematite-pyrite alteration associated with this gold mineralisation were intersected in all three drill-holes.

Broad low grade intercepts of 60m at 0.48g/t Au in AMILAC03, 56m at 0.78g/t Au and 12m at 0.4g/t Au in AMILC04 and 68m at 0.54g/t Au in AMILC06 were returned.

Within these broader low grade haloes a number of thin higher-grade zones are typically present. Results from the drilling are typical of the area and are viewed as encouraging. They have extended the Eastern Zone by a further 200m, for a strikelength now in excess of 700m.

Significant drilling results are summarized on Figs 17, 18 and 19.

3.6 Past Production in the Yandal Belt

Historically, the Millrose area has only produced relatively small amounts of gold compared to large deposits elsewhere in the Yandal belt, such as those at Jundee and Bronzewing. However after a century of virtual neglect, the Yandal belt has emerged as a significant gold-rich province in recent times with production increasing from 1Moz Au in 1990 to over 14Moz Au by 2000.

Exploration success has come from a combination of conceptual geological models, surface prospecting, understanding of the weathering environment and systematic drilling. Gold resources and past production at major deposits include: Bronzewing (3Moz), Jundee (7Moz) and Darlot (3Moz).

3.7 Exploration Potential

The Millrose Project Area represents a major, drill-ready target which has the potential to be upgraded to a JORC compliant resource by additional RC and Diamond Drilling.

The plunging ore shoots already defined are open at depth and along strike and have the potential to support a high grade underground mining operation. The relatively simple geometry of the lodes has been confirmed from 3D modelling.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 42

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

There are a number of sub-parallel high-grade zones within the broader low-grade supergene gold anomaly to the south of the existing resource. Based on this evidence, these high-grade zones present significant targets that have excellent potential to increase the existing inferred resource.

A review of previous data has defined a number of regional targets that require more work. One such area consists of a structural/magnetic target which is associated with a large (3km x 3km) supergene gold anomaly defined by historical wide spaced shallow set depth (typically 17m) RAB drilling.

Further work is needed on the Millrose project in order to clarify structural control and assess continuity in high-grade shoots within the primary mineralisation zone beneath the proposed open cut. This will be done with a view to determining the viability of the area beneath the proposed open cut as an underground operation.

3.8 Proposed Exploration Program

Proposed Exploration Activity Program Conduct RC/Diamond Drilling to obtain geotechnical and metallurgical data. Carry out RC/Diamond Drilling to evaluate potential for high grade plunging shoots and underground potential. Conduct RC/Diamond Drilling at Millrose South to convert into a JORC compliant resource. Gold Complete infill RC/Diamond Drilling with the objective to convert indicated and inferred resource into a Measured Category. Carry out RAB/AC/RC drilling to evaluate regional targets, such as Roto Bore (RAB/AC geochemical anomaly) and the conceptual target at Roto Well SW.

4.0 Mt Webb Project

4.1 Introduction

The Mt Webb Project Area consists of four tenements, which have a combined area of 568km[2] . They are located in the Lake Mackay region in Western Australia, close to the WA-NT border (Fig 20). These leases are approximately 2,250km NE of Perth and 1,300km east of Wiluna.

Geologically, the area is on the western margin of the Arunta Block and is centred on the Mt Webb Proterozoic granite intrusion. The Mt Webb granite and its co-magmatic felsic volcanics in the Pollock Hills Formation has many similarities to other Australian Proterozoic regions where hydrothermal Cu-Au deposits have been linked to magmatic sources (e.g. Williams Batholith - Eastern Succession Mt Isa and Hiltaba Suite - Gawler Craton).

The Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) has estimated an age of 1640Ma for the intrusion and has also identified extensive magmatic alteration (sodiccalcic and sericitic) and brecciation.

The tenements in the project area all constitute model-based greenfields exploration targets. They present an opportunity to apply standard reconnaissance exploration techniques to test well established iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) exploration models in an area that has geology of a favourable age; which is often associated with uranium deposits.

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 44

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

Previous exploration in the Mt Webb region has been limited, partly due to poor outcrop, isolation and a perception that the Arunta Inlier is too highly metamorphosed to host significant deposits. Although the area remains under-explored (with only limited exploration having been completed since 1997, mainly by Aurora Gold and BHP in the Kiwirrkurra area); encouraging results are indicating that the area has unrealised potential.

More recent exploration conducted in the Mt Webb region by Ashburton Minerals, Meteoric Resources Ltd and Toro Energy has used geophysical targets and geochemical anomalies with reasonable success (Table 13 and Fig 25).

Widespread copper mineralisation has been identified at Ashburton’s Pokali Prospect and R.C drilling has returned encouraging copper values.

Meteoric has identified a 7km long gold anomaly at its Lake Mackay Project on E80/3820. Meteoric has also identified six strong IOCG targets in favourable geological settings.

Toro Energy have identified anomalous uranium mineralisation at its Theseus Prospect using air-core drilling, despite surface sampling failing to detect any obvious bedrock uranium anomalies. Toro Energy has reported that the highly anomalous uranium is associated with oxidised and reduced interbedded sands and clays. These units will be further tested using mud rotary drilling, which is specifically designed for the prevailing unconsolidated wet sand conditions.

Radiometric data has identified a significant anomaly in Lake Mackay. It is probable that the source of secondary uranium in the lake sediments is sourced from the “hot” granites on the leases now managed by Riedel Resources Ltd.

Uranium is commonly associated with one of the structurally controlled Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) subtypes. The company could evaluate the uranium potential of all its Mt Webb tenements, as well as exploring for gold and copper. In particular, coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies will be targeted, since they frequently overlie IOCG deposits.

Most of Australia’s uranium resources occur as four styles of mineralisation; these are unconformity related, breccia complex, sandstone uranium deposits and surficial (calcrete) deposits. The Mt Webb area is considered highly prospective for a variety of styles of uranium mineralisation. These including: palaeochannel sand hosted; - sandstone hydrocarbon-associated; calcrete hosted, structurally-enhanced redox (‘roll - front’) type deposits and iron oxide copper gold uranium (“IOCGU”).

The nuclear power industry is currently only providing a fraction of the world’s energy supply and uranium production is falling short of present day demand. As the world’s population continues to grow rapidly and fossil fuels become increasingly depleted the urgency to identify new potential uranium sources becomes vitally important if an energy crisis is to be avoided.

4.2 Location and Access

The Mt Webb Project Area is located on the Webb 1:250 000 (SF 52-10) and Macdonald 1:250 000 (SF 52-14) Geological Map Sheets. The project area is approximately 700km WNW of Alice Springs and 100km SW of Kintore, in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia. All the tenements are close to, or on the Western Australia/Northern Territory border (Fig 20).

The most northerly tenement, E80/4165 is east of the western edge of the Tanami Desert and north of the western side of the large, dry-lake named Lake Mackay. The area is situated 40km SW of the Alec Ross Range and is centred approximately on 451544E, 7550704N.

E80/4166 is the most westerly of the tenements and it covers the eastern side of the Pollock Hills area. It lies roughly 50km WNW of Mt Webb in the Angas Hills and is centred approximately on 361073E, 7474792N. It is located WSW of Lake Mackay.

A Bouguer gravity high anomaly overlies E80/4167, which is located east of Dovers Hills and west of Buck Hills. It abuts with E80/4429 to form a large contiguous project area, south of Lake Mackay. It is centred approximately on 483535E 7444098N.

E80/4429 is the most easterly of the tenements and its SW corner overlies the Buck Hills area. Mt Tietkens is immediately south of the SW corner of the lease. The lease is centred on 495184E 7443433N.

The area can be reached from Alice Springs via the Kintore Road and the Desert Road and then by tracks of variable quality. The Desert Road passes through the southern edge of E80/4167and it also crosses through the southern end of the eastern half of E80/4429.

The main access to the various sites is by the Kiwirrkurra Road, which leads to the Kiwirrkurra Aboriginal Community. The project area is sparsely populated and the area forms part of the Central Australia Aboriginal Reserve, which is within the jurisdiction of the Ngaanyatjarra Land Council.

The terrain encompassing the tenement blocks is predominantly a flat, undulating sand-plain separated by scattered low hills and ridges. The area is semi-arid and has only sparse vegetation, which consists mainly of spinifex, low scrub and small trees. The region experiences very low rainfall and drainage is essentially subsurface.

A major field of E-W trending longitudinal sand dunes of varying lengths and ranging from 5m-15m in height, overlies much of the three southernmost tenements. This constitutes a major impediment to cross-country travel within sections of exploration licences E80/4166, E80/4167 and E80/4429.

4.4 Geology

4.4.1Regional Geology

The Mt Webb Project Area is situated at the western margin of the Proterozoic Arunta Block of Central Australia. The latter is comprised of a complex suite of Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic, metamorphosed and deformed igneous and sedimentary rocks, which form part of the 200,000 km[2 ] Arunta Inlier.

The block is divided into three major stratigraphic units based on facies assemblages and lithological correlation. Initial field investigations within the Mt Webb region were insufficient to differentiate between the three main stratigraphic units and as a consequence these units were referred to as the Arunta Metamorphic.

The Arunta Block is also divided up into three tectonic provinces; the northern metamorphics and the associated granite intrusions. The block is believed to be floored by continental crust and formed as a result intra-plate rifting. The project area occurs at the western extent of the northern and southern Tectonic provinces.

The WNW trending Mt Webb Fault Zone runs through the Riedel Resources’ southernmost ground. The granite associated with this shear zone is recrystallised with weak foliation.

A major mineralised ‘structural corridor’ named the Central Australian Suture (CAS) or Desert Bore Thrust is situated approximately 7km to the north of this fault zone.

Both the fault zone and this major shear zone parallel the Trans-Tanami Fault, which is associated with deposits of the Tanami Goldfields. The Tanami and The Granites Goldmines have produced in excess of 15Moz Au. The Mt Webb Fault Zone appears

Riedel Resources Ltd 2010 - IGR – AM&A Page 48

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

to be the main structural control for both gold and IOCG mineralisation in the Mt Webb area.

The dominant outcropping lithologies within the project area are the Mt Webb Granite (monzogranite), volcanics and associated sediments of the Pollock Hills Formation and a basement sequence of metasediments, metavolcanics and gneiss of the Arunta metamorphic (Fig 21).

The Mt Webb Granite is part of a batholith and its co-magmatic felsic volcanics (in the Pollock Hills Formation) form the Mt Webb Suite. This has many similarities to rocks other Australian Proterozoic regions where hydrothermal Cu-Au deposits have been linked to magmatic sources (1640Ma for intrusives), for example the Williams Batholith - Eastern Succession Mt Isa and Hiltaba Suite in the Gawler Craton of South Australia. These rocks overlap important global Proterozoic mineralisation epochs, particularly for the period of uranium mineralisation around 1640Ma.

The Arunta Metamorphics occur in the eastern half of the project area (on E80/4166) and consist of schists, quartzite, mafic and acid volcanics and gneiss. These rocks have a strong steeply dipping foliation trending west to northwest, however, northeast of Buck Hills a northwest trend is dominant. Quartz veining is common and in places is rich in magnetite.

A porphyritic acid volcanic sequence of high magnetic susceptibility is confined to the east of the Mantati area and is possibly the youngest representative of the Arunta metamorphic in the project area.

The Arunta metamorphic are intruded by the Palaeoproterozoic Mt Webb Granite. The Mt Webb Granite is a fractionated granite system and ranges from a leucocratic quartzrich granite to mesocratic biotite or hornblende-rich granite. The Mt Webb Suite granites show not only evidence of fractionation but also of brecciation, late-stage fluids and hydrothermal alteration. The granites have probably been emplaced at shallow levels and hence epithermal or vein-style mineralisation is a possibility.

The radiogenic Mt Webb Granite is considered to have reasonable ‘greenfields’ potential for copper, gold and uranium mineralisation.

Alteration in the Mt Webb Granite occurs in the form of sericite, epidote and albite. This alteration appears to be related to areas of high strain/faulting in some places. The fabric of the granite varies from non-foliated to strongly foliated, trending NNW.

Relatively recent work by AGSO has returned an age of 1,640Ma for this fractionated, I-type intrusion and has also identified extensive magmatic alteration (sodic-calcic and sericitic) and brecciation. I-type granite (or igneous protolith) granite is generally formed by the melting of high grade metamorphic rocks or another granite.

Fractionation is the process whereby minerals which crystallize early on as magma cools, settle out within an intrusion before the rest of the magma solidifies. They are thus effectively removed from environment in which they formed. This is considered highly significant, as fractionated granites are generally found to be more prospective for mineralisation.

4.4.2 Local Geology

Exposure in much of the project area is extremely limited due to the presence of major Cainozoic superficial sediments. Extensive aeolian sand-plains and/or sand dunes obscure most of the outcrop.

On the northernmost E80/4165, outcrop is limited to only what was originally mapped as the Mt Webb Granite and was later renamed Rapide Granite (Fig 22). Lateritic capping is associated with the scattered outcrops of this Proterozoic granite. The surface cover is dominated by Quaternary surface deposits, including aeolian sands, alluvium, silt, gravel, vein quartz rubble, evaporites and calcrete.

The bedrock geology of E80/4165 is dominated by the Rapide Granite, which is now included in the Carrington Granite Suite and is estimated to be1779 Ma. This garnetbearing biotite granite is mostly porphyritic with tabular feldspars and has a weak foliation (A. Budd, 2001). This unit has not been fractionated and hence is not considered as prospective for significant mineralisation, when compared to the Mt Webb Granite occurring in the southern leases of the project area. A narrow strip of the Lander Rock Formation metasedimentary siliciclastic psammite forms an E-W trending contact with the granite along the northern boundary of the lease.

Outcrop in the three southernmost tenements is largely obscured by a major field of E- W trending longitudinal sand dunes of varying lengths and ranging from 5-15 m in height.

On E80/4166 much of the eastern section is underlain by Mt Webb Granite and Pollock Hills Formation volcaniclastic sediments (Fig 23). On the western side of the lease the Pollock Hills Formation units are unconformably overlain by the red sandstone of the Kiwirrkurra Formation. This in turn is unconformably overlain by the Heavitree Quartzite, which can reach thicknesses of almost 500m in the Pollock Hills area; and then by the sediments of the Permian Hazlett Beds.

The coincident aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies on E80/4167 and (to a lesser extent) on E80/4429 overlie the WNW trending Waluwiya Suite Granite (Figs 24 and 25). Metavolcanic rocks of the Lander Rock Formation dominate the northern sections of these easternmost leases. Ashburton Minerals has reported that the uranium mineralisation intersected at Pokali (on E80/3327) occurs as disseminated to blebby chalcopyrite, with the higher grades associated with increased pervasive silicification. The host rocks are a series of metamorphosed sediments and high-Mg volcanics present as a variety of schistose rocks belonging to the Lander Rock Formation.

On E80/4429 the metasediments of the Marboo Formation occur between the Lander Rock Formation and the Waluwiya Suite Granite. Relatively small areas of Heavitree Quartzite occur to the south of the Waluwiya Suite Granite on both E80/4429 and E80/4167.

On E80/4167 a belt of the Mt Webb Granite occurs north of the Waluwiya Suite Granite. The former is unconformably overlain in part by both the gently dipping sediments of the Bittersprings Formation and the Neoproterozoic Heavitree Quartzite.

4.6 Exploration Potential

The difficulty in accessing the isolated Mt Webb region in the past has led to the underexploration of the area. However in recent years a variety of companies have had exploration success in the region. These include Aurora Gold, BHP, Meteoric Resources, Ashburton Minerals and Toro Energy.

A number of factors suggest that the Mt Webb Project Area has an excellent chance of hosting structurally controlled IOCGU style mineralisation, such as that at Olympic Dam. These include:

  • The granites in the Mt Webb region show all the important characteristic of granites associated with Au-Cu mineralisation elsewhere in the Proterozoic.

  • The age of the Mt Webb Granite is 1,640 Ma.

  • The Mt Webb Shear Zone was active during the emplacement of the granite, promoting the development of breccia bodies and for the focusing of hydrothermal fluids.

  • Mineralisation is most likely to be associated with the Arunta metamorphic rocks, either within shear zones or as replacement of favourable lithological units. There is also a possibility of mineralisation occurring within the Mt Webb Granite.

  • Rifted backarc setting, similar to IOCG deposits occurring in the Andes.

  • Co-existing bi-modal volcanics and intrusives.

  • I-Type fractionated and oxidised granitoids.

  • Enriched in uranium.

  • Sodic-calcic and sericitic and local haematitic alteration.

The Rapide Granite on E80/4165 (Fig 22) has not been fractionated and as a result it is not considered as prospective for significant mineralisation, when compared to the rocks of the Mt Webb Granite suite which occur in the southern leases of the project area.

Much of the eastern section of E80/4166 is underlain by Mt Webb Granite and Pollock Hills Formation volcaniclastic sediments (Fig 23). The IOCG alteration identified on E80/4166 requires further investigation, despite the weak values returned from drill samples. The nine RC drill-holes completed by BHP were widely spaced and did not fairly evaluate the mineralisation associated with the IOCG style alteration.

Riedel ResourcesLtd – AM&A Independent Report

==> picture [451 x 449] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 25: Mt Webb Region Aeromagnetic and Gravity Anomalies.

The coincident aeromagnetic and Bouguer gravity anomalies at North Dovers on E80/4167 should be a priority target for deeper drilling (Figs 24 and 25). The encouraging copper and gold values from drilling conducted by BHP could well be indicating that much richer IOCGU mineralisation occurs at depth. The structure appears to continue on to E80/4429, which has never been test drilled.

4.7 Proposed Exploration Program

Riedel Resources propose to utilise standard exploration techniques, (including geochemistry, geophysics and drilling) to investigate outcropping and near surface mineralisation and other previously identified targets. The company intend to take the opportunity to utilise relatively recent world class research and improved understanding of these systems to discover IOCGU mineralisation in the Mt Webb region.

39

==> picture [262 x 200] intentionally omitted <==

12 November 2010

The Board of Directors Riedel Resources Limited Suite 6, Level 2 11 Ventnor Avenue WEST PERTH WA 6005

Dear Sirs

SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS

This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus to be dated on or about 12 November 2010 for the issue of 35 million Shares in the capital of Riedel Resources Limited ACN 143 042 022 ( Company ) at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise up to $7 million.

1. SCOPE

We have been requested to report on certain mining tenements in which the Company has the right to acquire an interest ( Tenements ).

The Tenements are located in Western Australia. Details of the Tenements are set out in Part I of the Schedule, which forms part of this Report.

2. SEARCHES

For the purposes of this Report, we have:

(a) obtained searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum ( DMP ). These searches were conducted on 29 September 2010. Key details on the status of the Tenements are set out in Part I of the Schedule;

  • (b) obtained extracts of registered native title claims and native title determinations that apply to the Tenements, as determined by the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ). This material was obtained on 6 October 2010. Details of native title claims and determinations are set out in Section 7 of this Report and Part II of the Schedule;

(c) undertaken searches of the online register of Aboriginal heritage sites maintained by the Western Australian Department of Indigenous Affairs

1

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

( DIA ) to ascertain if any Aboriginal sites or objects have been registered in the vicinity of the Tenements. These searches were conducted on 7 October 2010. Details of registered Aboriginal sites and objects are set out in Section 6 of this Report; and

  • (d) reviewed all material agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us or registered as dealings against the Tenements as at the date of the DMP searches and have summarised the material terms (details of which are set out in Section 12 of the Prospectus).

3. OPINION

As a result of our searches and enquiries, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Report, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant searches:

  • (a) ( Company’s interest ): this Report provides an accurate statement as to the Company’s interest in the Tenements;

  • (b) ( Good standing ): this Report provides an accurate statement as to the validity and good standing of the Tenements; and

  • (c) ( Third party interests ): this Report provides an accurate statement as to third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements.

4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Subject to the qualifications and assumptions in this Report, we consider the following to be material issues in relation to the Tenements as at the date of our searches:

  • (a) ( Title ): As detailed in the summaries of the material contracts affecting the Tenements[1] , the Company has entered into a Share Sale Agreement with ADX Energy Ltd ( ADX ) pursuant to which ADX agrees to sell all of the issued capital of AuDAX Minerals Pty Ltd ( ADXM ) to the Company ( Share Sale Agreement )[2] . Upon completion of the Share Sale Agreement, ADXM will become the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

Pursuant to the OldCity Nominees Pty Ltd ( OldCity Nominees ) Tenement Sale Agreement and the ADX Tenement Sale Agreement[3] , ADXM is entitled to acquire ADX’s and OldCity Nominees’ right, title and interest in the Tenements[4] . As at the date of this Report, the process of transferring the Tenements to ADXM is ongoing. Accordingly, ADXM’s interest in the Tenements has not yet been registered and is not reflected in Part I of the Schedule to this Report. There is a risk that the transfers may not be registered either at all or for an extended period; however we note that ADXM has lodged caveats to protect its interest in the granted Tenements in the interim period, other than the West Yandal Tenements in respect of which it does not have a caveatable interest.

1 Refer to Section 12 of the Prospectus.

2 Refer to Section 12.1 of the Prospectus.

3 Refer to Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Prospectus for further details of the Tenement Sale Agreements.

4 ADX’s and OldCity Nominees’ interests in the Tenements are detailed in the Tenement Schedule forming part of this Report.

2

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

(b) ( Applications for Tenements ): The following tenement applications are yet to be granted: E45/2761, E45/2763, E45/2764, E80/4429 and M77/1078.

(c)

( Under Expenditure ):

  • (i) The 2010 minimum expenditure commitment had not been met for E53/1305 (Millrose Project) (exemption refused); and

  • (ii) The 2010 minimum expenditure commitment had not been met for M31/145 and M31/157 (Porphyry Project), E80/4165, E80/4166 and E80/4167 (Mt Webb Project) and M36/670 (Bronzewing South Project) (exemption pending in respect of each).

There is a risk that E53/1305 may be liable for forfeiture for under expenditure because the exemption application was refused (in this regard, we note that ADX has lodged an application for non-forfeiture, which is yet to be determined).

There is also a risk that M31/157, M31/145, E80/4165, E80/4166, E80/4167 and M36/670 may be forfeited if the pending exemption applications are not granted.

Part 1 of the Schedule provides further details of the under expenditure.

(d) ( Applications for Forfeiture ): P77/3727 and P77/3728 (Dulcie Project) were each subject to applications for forfeiture. The reason cited in each application is ‘failure to comply with the expenditure conditions’, however it is noted that these tenements are fully expended. We understand that these applications have been set down for a first mention hearing on Tuesday, 23 November 2010 and that responses to these applications were lodged by Gondwana Resources Ltd with the Southern Cross Registrar on 1 October 2010.

  • (e) ( Third party interests ):

  • (i) ( Royalty ): As discussed in Section 12.9.4 of the Prospectus, ADXM has entered into an agreement with St Barbara Limited ( SBM ) pursuant to which ADXM agrees to grant SBM a 2% gross revenue royalty in relation to all minerals extracted from E77/1793 ( Overlapping Tenement ) in consideration for SBM’s undertaking to withdraw its application for a mining lease over the same ground (being MLA77/1078). In addition to the royalty proposed to be payable to SBM, ADXM will pay International Royalty Corporation (an entity incorporated in Colorado, USA) a further 1.5% gross revenue royalty in respect of minerals extracted from the Overlapping Tenement.

  • (ii) ( Farm-in interest ): As discussed in Section 12.9.4 of the Prospectus, ADX, Navigator (Bronzewing) Pty Ltd ( Navigator ) and Hot Holdings Pty Ltd ( Hot Holdings ) are parties to a Joint Venture Agreement in relation to E36/215 and E36/623 (Bronzewing South) and E36/509 (Kara) ( Original Tenements ) ( Joint Venture Agreement ) pursuant to which Navigator is entitled to earn:

    • (A) a 51% joint venture interest in the Original Tenements by incurring expenditure of $1.5 million on the Original Tenements before 31 August 2011; and

3

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

  • (B) a further 19% joint venture interest (to acquire a total joint venture interest of 70%) by incurring further expenditure of $1 million on exploration and feasibility studies in its own time.

As at the date of this Report, Navigator has not yet satisfied the earn-in commitment to acquire an interest in the Original Tenements.

The parties intend to terminate the Joint Venture Agreement and propose that Navigator, ADXM (instead of ADX) and Hot Holdings enter into a new agreement which is proposed to include E36/734 (Delaney Well) and M36/670 (Bronzewing South) in addition to the Original Tenements ( New Joint Venture Agreement ). Under the New Joint Venture Agreement, it is proposed that Navigator will be entitled to earn:

  • (C) a 51% joint venture interest ( Initial Interest ) by incurring expenditure of $1 million on the Tenements within 4 years from the commencement date of the New Joint Venture Agreement; and

  • (D) a further 19% joint venture interest (to acquire a total joint venture interest of 70%) by incurring further expenditure of $1 million on exploration within 2 years of earning the Initial Interest.

As at the date of this Report, the New Joint Venture Agreement has not been signed as the parties are still negotiating the terms.

  • (iii) ( Free carried interest ): As discussed in Section 12.9.1 of the Prospectus, Galtrad Pty Ltd ( Galtrad ) is entitled to a 10% free carried interest in relation to the portions of former exploration licences 52/592 and 52/594 that are contained within E52/2394 and E52/2395 (Mary Mia Project). The free carry continues up to a decision to mine, whereby Galtrad will contribute in accordance with its equity interest or dilute pro rata. Galtrad agrees to dilute its free carried interest to a 5% interest in relation to nickel and associated minerals should ADXM negotiate a joint venture with a third party for those commodities.

  • (f) ( Native title ): 11 of the Tenements are subject to native title claims or determinations. The native title claimants and holders of native title under the determinations are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act Provisions. Refer to Section 7.3 of this Report and Section 12.9 of the Prospectus for further information.

  • (g) ( Access ): The Cheritons Find exploration licence application E77/1793 lies within the Jilbadji Nature Reserve. As such, the application process is more stringent and this application may be granted with additional conditions imposed to regulate access arrangements by the Company/ADXM and more onerous conditions to regulate activity on the tenement area.

  • (h) ( Material agreements ): We have identified numerous material agreements in relation to the Tenements, further details of which are provided in Section 12 of the Prospectus.

5. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS

The Tenements comprise Exploration, Mining and Prospecting tenements granted or applied for under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) ( Mining Act ). Schedule I provides a list of the Tenements.

The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of these types of mining tenements as set out in the Mining Act.

5.1 Prospecting Licence

Application : A person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the Mining Act. The mining registrar or warden decides whether to grant an application for a prospecting licence. An application for a prospecting licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.

Rights : The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of prospecting for minerals.

Term : A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status is granted (as discussed below), by further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.

Retention Status : The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the prospecting licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of a prospecting licence applied for or granted before 10 February 2006 can apply for a retention licence.

Conditions : Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in the Schedule. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.

Priority to apply for a Mining Lease: The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

Transfer : There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.

Reversion Application : The Mining Act allowed the holder of a prospecting licence who had applied for a mining lease before 10 February 2006 to lodge an application between 11 February 2006 and 10 February 2007 for an exploration licence or prospecting licence in lieu of the grant of the mining lease. The Mining Act provides that reversion applications are deemed to be transferred to a transferee of the underlying prospecting licence.

5

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

5.2 Exploration Licence

Application : A person may lodge an application for an exploration licence and the Minister decides whether to grant the application. An application for an exploration licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.

Rights: The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of exploration for minerals.

Term : An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term where:

  • the exploration licence was granted before 10 February 2006, by a further period or periods of 1 or 2 years; and

  • the exploration licence was granted after 10 February 2006, by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years.

Where an exploration licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.

Retention Status : The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource within the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of an exploration licence applied for or granted before 10 February 2006, can apply for a retention licence.

Conditions : Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.

Relinquishment : The holder of an exploration licence granted or applied for before 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than half of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the third year. A further relinquishment of not less than half of the remaining blocks is required at the end of the fourth year. The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year.

Priority to apply for Mining Lease : The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

Transfer : No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealing.

6

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

Reversion Application : The Mining Act allowed the holder of an exploration licence who had applied for a mining lease before 10 February 2006 to lodge an application between 11 February 2006 and 10 February 2007 for an exploration licence or prospecting licence in lieu of the grant of the mining lease. The Mining Act provides that reversion applications are deemed to be transferred to a transferee of the underlying exploration licence.

5.3

Mining Lease

Application : Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.

The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a “mineralisation report” indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report” will only be approved where the Director, Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.

Rights : The holder of a mining lease is entitled to enter the land and undertake operations for the purposes of mining and extracting minerals. The holder has exclusive rights to the land for mining purposes.

Term : A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.

Conditions : Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. Mining leases granted or applied for before 10 February 2006 are subject to a condition that a mining proposal is lodged and approved before mining operations commence. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. These standard conditions are not detailed in the Schedule.

Transfer : The consent of the Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.

6. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE

We have undertaken searches of the online register of Aboriginal heritage sites maintained by the Department of Indigenous Affairs in Western Australia ( DIAWA ) to ascertain if any Aboriginal sites or objects have been registered in the vicinity of the Tenements. As at 7 October 2010, there were a number or areas and objects of Aboriginal heritage registered on the Tenements. Key details of these Aboriginal heritage sites are set out in Part I of the Schedule.

The following Tenements contain Aboriginal heritage sites:

Prospecting
Licences
Exploration
Licences
Mining Leases
Nil E36/623 Nil
E36/734
E45/2763

7

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

Prospecting
Licences
Exploration
Licences
Mining Leases
E77/1223
E80/4429
E80/4167
E36/215

There is no obligation under the relevant legislation to register sites or objects. Furthermore, the exact location of Aboriginal sites cannot always be ascertained from such searches.

The Company must ensure that it does not breach the Commonwealth and applicable State legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage as set out below. To ensure that it does not contravene such legislation, it would be prudent for the Company (and it would accord with industry practice and Aboriginal expectations) to conduct heritage surveys to determine if any Aboriginal sites or objects exist within the area of the Tenements. Any interference with these sites or objects must be in strict conformity with the provisions of the relevant legislation. It may also be necessary for the Company to enter into separate arrangements with the traditional owners of the sites.

6.1 Commonwealth Legislation

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.

Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.

It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.

6.2

Western Australian Legislation

Tenements are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ).

The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons.

The Minister’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site.

Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is no requirement for a site to be registered and the WA Heritage Act protects all registered and unregistered sites.

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

7. NATIVE TITLE

7.1 Introduction

This section of the Report examines the effect of native title on the Tenements.

The existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians was first recognised in Australia in 1992 by the High Court in the case Mabo v. Queensland (no.2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 ( Mabo no.2 ).

Mabo no. 2 held that certain land tenure existing as at the date of that case, including mining tenements, where granted or renewed without due regard to native title rights, were invalid.

As a result of Mabo no. 2, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ) was passed to:

  • (a) provide a process for indigenous people to lodge claims for native title rights over land, for those claims to be registered by the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ) and for the Courts to assess native title claims and determine if native title rights exist. Where a Court completes the assessment of a native title claim, it will issue a native title determination that specifies whether or not native title rights exist;

  • (b) provide (together with associated State legislation) that any land tenures granted or renewed before 1 January 1994 were valid despite Mabo no. 2. This retrospective validation of land tenure was subsequently extended by the NTA to include freehold and certain leasehold (including pastoral leases) granted or renewed before 23 December 1996; and

  • (c) provide that an act that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) carried out after 23 December 1996 (a Future Act ) must comply with certain requirements for the Future Act to be valid under the NTA. These requirements are called the Future Act Provisions .

The Future Act Provisions are summarised in Section 7.2 below, following which the Report identifies:

  • (a) native title claims and determinations that are registered against the Tenements (see Section 7.3);

  • (b) Tenements which have been retrospectively validated under the NTA as being granted before 23 December 1996 (see Section 7.4);

  • (c) Tenements which have been granted after 23 December 1996 and as such will need to have been granted following compliance with the Future Act Provisions to be valid under the NTA. This Report assumes that the Future Act Provisions have been complied with in relation to these Tenements (see Section 7.4); and

  • (d) Tenements which are yet to be granted and which may need to comply with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA (see Section 7.4).

Note that the grant of a Tenement does not need to comply with the Future Act Provisions if in fact native title has never existed over the land covered by the Tenement, or has been validly extinguished prior to the grant of the Tenement. We have not undertaken the extensive research needed to determine if in fact

9

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

native title does not exist, or has been validly extinguished in relation to the Tenements.

Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (e.g. in relation to freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the Future Act Provisions when granting a Tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid in the event a court determines that native title rights do exist over the land subject to the Tenement and as such, the Future Act Provisions apply.

Where a Tenement has been retrospectively validated or validly granted under the NTA, the rights under the Tenement prevail over any inconsistent native title rights.

7.2 Future Act Provisions

The Future Act Provisions vary depending on the Future Act to be carried out. In the case of the grant of a mining tenement, typically there are three alternatives: the Right to Negotiate, an Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( ILUA ) and the Expedited Procedure. These are summarised below.

Right to Negotiate

The Right to Negotiate involves a formal negotiation between the State, the applicant for the Tenement and any registered native title claimants and holders of native title rights. The aim is to agree the terms on which the Tenement can be granted. The applicant for the Tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the Tenement (e.g. in relation to heritage surveys).

If agreement is not reached to enable the Tenement to be granted, the matter may be referred to arbitration before the NNTT, which has six (6) months to decide whether the Tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions. The NNTT usually requires the parties to have had at least 6 months of negotiations before it will accept a referral for arbitration.

ILUA

An ILUA is a contractual arrangement governed by the NTA. Under the NTA, an ILUA must be negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The State and the applicant for the Tenement are usually the other parties to the ILUA.

An ILUA must set out the terms on which a tenement can be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders of native title in return for the grant of the Tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.

Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even though they may not be parties to it.

Expedited Procedure

The NTA establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a Future Act that is unlikely to adversely affect native title rights ( Expedited Procedure ). The grant of a tenement can occur under the Expedited Procedure if:

10

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

  • (a) the grant will not interfere directly with the carrying on of the community or social activities of the persons who are the holders of native title in relation to the land;

  • (b) the grant is not likely to interfere with areas or sites of particular significance, in accordance with their traditions, to the persons who are holders of native title in relation to the land; and

  • (c) the grant is not likely to involve major disturbance to any land or waters concerned or create rights whose exercise is likely to involve major disturbance to any land.

If the State considers the above criteria are satisfied, it commences the Expedited Procedure by giving notice of the proposed grant of the Tenement in accordance with the NTA. Persons have until three (3) months after the notification date to take steps to become a registered native title claimant or native title holder in relation to the land to be subject to the Tenement.

If there is no objection lodged by a registered native title claimant or a native title holder within four (4) months of the notification date, the State may grant the Tenement.

If one or more registered native title claimants or native title holders object within that four (4) month notice period, the NNTT must determine whether the grant is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines that the Expedited Procedure applies, the State may grant the Tenement. Otherwise, the Future Act Provisions (e.g. Right to Negotiate or ILUA) must be followed before the Tenement can be granted.

The State of Western Australia currently follows a policy of granting prospecting and exploration licences under the Expedited Procedure where the applicant has entered into a standard aboriginal heritage agreement with the relevant registered native title claimants and native title holders. The standard heritage agreement (and ancillary agreements) usually provide for payment of compensation by the applicant for the tenement and conditions that apply to activities carried out within the tenement.

Tenements renewed after 23 December 1996

Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA.

Our searches indicate that the following Tenements have been renewed after 23 December 1996, and as such, may need to have complied with the Future Act Provisions to be validly renewed. We have assumed that the Future Act Provisions were complied with to the extent necessary.

Tenement Date of Grant Date of Renewal
E36/215 05/12/2002 10/03/2010
E36/404 06/07/2000 20/01/2010

Renewals of Tenements in the future will need to comply with the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA. The registered native title claimants and holders of native title identified in Section 7.3 of this Report will need to be involved as appropriate under the Future Act Provisions.

8. QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS

This Report is subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:

  • (a) we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of all Tenement searches, register extracts and other information or responses which were obtained from the relevant department or authority, including the NNTT;

  • (b) we assume that the registered holder of a Tenement has valid legal title to the Tenement;

  • (c) this Report does not cover any third party interests, including encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements that are not apparent from our searches and the information provided to us;

  • (d) we have assumed that any agreements provided to us in relation to the Tenements are authentic, were within the powers and capacity of those who executed them, were duly authorised, executed and delivered and are binding on the parties to them;

  • (f) with respect to the granting of the Tenements, we have assumed that the State and the applicant for the Tenements complied with the applicable Future Act Provisions;

  • (g) we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of any instructions or information which we have received from the Company or any of its officers, agents and representatives;

  • (h) unless apparent from our searches or the information provided to us, we have assumed compliance with the requirements necessary to maintain a Tenement in good standing;

  • (i) with respect to the application for the grant of a Tenement, we express no opinion as to whether such application will ultimately be granted and that reasonable conditions will be imposed upon grant, although we have no reason to believe that any application will be refused or that unreasonable conditions will be imposed;

14

3087-1/Due Diligence/413538v1

  • (j) references in the Schedule to any area of land are taken from details shown on searches obtained from the relevant department. It is not possible to verify the accuracy of those areas without conducting a survey; and

  • (k) the information in the Schedule is accurate as at the date the relevant searches were obtained. We cannot comment on whether any changes have occurred in respect of the Tenements between the date of the searches and the date of the Prospectus.

Nothing has come to our attention to lead us to believe that such assumptions are not correct, but we have not made any independent investigation with respect to the matters the subject of our assumptions.

9. CONSENT

11. RISK FACTORS

11.1 Introduction

An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

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

Specific risks

11.2 Tenure risk

The Company’s Projects comprise a number of granted exploration licences and applications for the grant of exploration licences. Three of the granted exploration licences have not been transferred from their current holders into the name of ADXM as they have been granted for less than 12 months and are therefore unable to be transferred to ADXM without Ministerial consent. These 3 tenements are held on trust by their current holders (being OldCity Nominees in respect of E77/1223 and ADX in respect of E52/2394 and E52/2395) for the benefit of the Company and will not be transferred to ADXM until the 12-month anniversary of their grant date. There is a risk that these exploration licences may not be transferred to ADXM and that it may therefore not obtain registered legal title to them.

11.3 Risk of non-renewal of tenements

The Company cannot guarantee that the granted exploration licences will be renewed beyond their current expiry date and there is a risk that, in the event the Company is unable to renew the tenements beyond their current expiry date, the Company’s proposed interest in those Projects will be relinquished. Three of the tenements have expiry dates of 13 months or less from the date of this Prospectus, being: E36/215 – 4 December 2011, E36/404 – 5 July 2011, and E36/509 – 4 July 2011.

11.4

Application risk

There is a risk that the applications for exploration licences may never be granted, in which case the Company will not be able to undertake exploration activities on these tenements.

11.5 Access risk

There is a risk that access to certain tenements and areas within certain tenements may be restricted due to environmental and heritage related issues and that exploration and mining activities may not be possible in such areas.

11.6

Applications for forfeiture

As at the date of this Prospectus, Millrose Project tenement E53/1305 and Dulcie Project tenements P77/3727 and P77/3728 are the subject of applications for forfeiture. An application for non-forfeiture of E53/1305 has been lodged with the Department of Mines and Petroleum and is yet to be determined. The

40

forfeiture applications in respect of the two Dulcie Project tenements set out above are listed to be heard in the Warden’s Court on 23 November 2010. There is a risk that some or all of these tenements may be liable to forfeiture if Department of Mines and Petroleum declines the application for non-forfeiture and/or the Warden’s Court makes an adverse ruling in respect of the Dulcie tenement forfeiture applications (however it is noted that the Dulcie Project tenements are fully expended). None of the three tenements the subject of forfeiture applications, are considered material to the Company’s ongoing operations.

11.7 Cheritons Find Project tenure risk

The Cheritons Find exploration licence application E77/1793 lies within the Jilbadji Nature Reserve. As such, the application process is more stringent and this application may be granted with additional conditions imposed to regulate access arrangements by the Company/ADXM and more onerous conditions to regulate activity on the tenement area.

11.8

Exploration success

The Projects described in this Prospectus are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.

There can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s Projects, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

11.9

Operating risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

11.10 Title risk and Native Title

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. The Company could lose title to or its interest in its tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

The Company’s tenements extend over areas in which legitimate common law native title rights of indigenous Australians exist. The ability of the Company to

41

gain access to its tenements and to conduct exploration, development and mining operations remains subject to native title rights and the terms of registered native title agreements.

The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

11.11 Exploration budgets

The exploration costs of the Company described in Section 6 and in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 8 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 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 viability of the Company’s Projects. In addition to this, exploration programmes phased and subsequent programmes are based results and outcomes of previous programmes. Programmes will not necessarily be carried out of results do not warrant it.

11.12 Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

11.13 Environmental risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company on its Projects are subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

The Company may become liable for environmental damage caused by previous owners of any claims the Company holds an interest in or acquires in the future. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could reduce or eliminate funds available for acquisitions, exploration and development.

The Cheriton/Cheritons Find tenements are known to lie within the boundaries of the Conservation of Flora and Fauna Reserve 24049 or Jilbadji Class C Reserve. The ability of the Company to gain access to its tenements and to conduct exploration, development and mining operations remains subject to relevant environmental laws and requirements related to such reserves.

42

A portion of the Charteris Creek licence is known to lie within an area the Department of Environment proposes to purchase as a conservation park. The ability of the Company to gain access to its tenements and to conduct exploration, development and mining operations remains subject to relevant environmental laws and requirements related to such reserves.

11.14 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 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 denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be reported 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.

11.15 Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. In the future, the Company is likely to require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. 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 exploration programmes as the case may be.

11.16

Legal risk

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern the Company’s operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares.

11.17

Insurance risks

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 against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

43

General risks

11.18 Economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s proposed exploration activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

11.19 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:

  • (a) general economic outlook;

  • (b) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (c) currency fluctuations;

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

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

  • (f) 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. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

11.20

Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

11.21

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. 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 speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
