1. Details of the Offer
1.1
Summary of the Offer
The Company is offering, pursuant to this Prospectus 1,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.015 each to raise $15.00 (before costs) ( Offer ).
The Offer will only be extended to specific parties unrelated to the Company on invitation of the Directors. An Application Form will only be provided by the Company to these parties, together with a copy of this Prospectus.
Shares issued under the Offer will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue. Refer to Section 4.1 for a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares under the Offer.
1.2
Purpose of the Offer
Generally, section 707(3) of the Corporations Act requires that a prospectus is issued in order for a person to whom securities were issued without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act to on-sell those securities within 12 months of the date of their issue.
The Corporations Act provides an exception to section 707(3) where an entity issues a 'cleansing' notice under section 708A(5) within 5 days of the date of issue of the securities. Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides another exemption from the general requirement under section 707(3) where:
-
(a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on ASX;
-
(b) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:
-
(i) on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
-
(ii) before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and
-
(c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to comply with section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to remove any trading restrictions that attach to Shares issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date, so that subscribers of those Shares may, if they choose to, sell those Shares (as applicable) within twelve months from the date of their issue without the issue of a prospectus. These include:
- (a) the 125,000,000 Shares to be issued to sophisticated and professional investors on Friday, 11 June 2021 without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act ( Placement Shares ). The Placement Shares were issued under the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity at an issue price of $0.015 per Share, to raise approximately $1,875,000 (before costs) ( Placement ); and
Page 6
Doc ID 842469343/v1
- (b) any other Shares the Company may issue between the date of this Prospectus and the Closing Date (including but not limited to any Shares issued upon the exercise of Options).
Apart from the issue of Shares outlined in Section 1.1, no other securities will be issued under the Offer. Accordingly, this Prospectus is being lodged to comply with 'Case 2' of section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act and cleanse the Placement Shares.
1.3
Closing Date
The Closing Date for the Offer is Wednesday, 16 June 2021. The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to extend the Closing Date without prior notice. If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
1.4
Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.
- 1.5
Application Forms
The Offer is being extended to investors who are invited by the Company to subscribe for Shares and is not open to the general public. The Company may determine in its discretion whether to accept any or all of the Applications.
Applications must be made using the Application Form attached to this Prospectus. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors will have discretion over which Applications to accept.
Completed Application Forms, together with application monies, must be received by the Company prior to the Closing Date. Application Forms should be delivered to the Company in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form. If you are in doubt as to the course of action, you should consult your professional advisor.
Acceptance of a completed Application Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Shares accepted by the Company. The Application Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of the Shares under the Offer.
If the Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat the acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.
1.6
Issue and dispatch
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company intends to issue the Shares under the Offer on or about Friday, 11 June 2021. Shareholder statements will be dispatched as soon as possible after the issue of the Shares under the Offer.
1.7
Application Monies held on trust
All Application Monies received for the Shares under the Offer will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the Shares are not issued.
Page 7
Doc ID 842469343/v1
1.8 ASX quotation
Application will be made to ASX no later than 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for official quotation of the Shares under the Offer. If permission is not granted by ASX for the Official Quotation of the Shares offered by this Prospectus within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as the ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.
1.9
CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System, known as CHESS, operated by ASX Settlement Pty Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares. If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Limited will send you a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will set out the number of Shares issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares.
If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be dispatched by Computershare and will contain the number of Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

2. Risk factors
The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend that investors consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, and consult their professional advisers, before deciding whether to apply for Shares.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. Some can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.
2.1 Material Risks
- (a) Exploration, Geological and Development Risks
Mineral exploration and development is a speculative and high-risk undertaking that may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the control of the Company. Success in this process involves (amongst other things):
-
(i) discovery and proving-up, or acquiring, an economically recoverable resource or reserve;
-
(ii) access to adequate capital throughout the acquisition/discovery and project development phases;
-
(iii) securing and maintaining title to mineral exploration projects;
-
(iv) obtaining required development consents and approvals necessary for the acquisition, mineral exploration, development and production phases; and
-
(v) accessing the necessary experienced operational staff, the applicable financial management and recruiting skilled contractors, consultants and employees.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Kingman Project or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource. Even if an apparently viable mineral resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The exploration activities of the Company may be adversely affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, operational risks (as outlined in the next paragraph) and changing government laws and regulations. Further, whether positive income flows result from projects on which the Company will expend exploration and development capital is dependent on many factors including successful exploration, establishment of production facilities, cost control, commodity price movements, successful contract negotiations for production and stability in the local political environment.
In addition, significant expenditure may be required to establish necessary metallurgical and mining processes to develop and exploit any mineral reserves
Page 11
Doc ID 842469343/v1
identified on the Kingman Project. There is no assurance that the Company will have sufficient working capital or resources available to do this.
In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful, the Kingman Project may diminish in value, there will be a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and relinquishment of part or all of the Kingman Project may occur.
(b)
Future Profitability
The Company’s profitability will be impacted by, among other things, the success of its exploration and mining activities, economic conditions in the markets in which it operates, competition factors and any regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits (if any) and the time required to achieve sustained profitability are uncertain and cannot be reliably predicted.
(c)
Operational risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including:
-
(i) failure to locate or identify mineral deposits;
-
(ii) failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining;
-
(iii) operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining;
-
(iv) insufficient or unreliable infrastructure, such as power, water and transport;
-
(v) political or civil unrest, including outbreaks of violence or other hostilities;
-
(vi) difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment;
-
(vii) mechanical failure or plant breakdown;
-
(viii) unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs;
-
(ix) adverse weather conditions;
-
(x) industrial and environmental accidents and disputes; and
-
(xi) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be adversely affected.
(d)
Access to Tenements
The right of the holder of an exploration license to enter onto the license to explore for minerals is subject to the consent of the occupier of the land and, where the land is proximate to certain specified locations, the ministry responsible for the protection of such locations. Immediate access to tenements cannot in all cases be guaranteed.
The Company currently has an interest in the relevant licenses and approvals required to access and mine the Kingman Project, however these licenses and approvals are subject to change.
Page 12
Doc ID 842469343/v1
(e) Availability of drilling rigs
The Company’s exploration activities are partly dependent on the availability of drilling rigs. The Company continues to monitor rig availability. The Company may have difficulty in gaining access to drilling rigs or adequate supplies of drilling rigs at appropriate prices and in a timely manner. Any of these factors may adversely affect the Company's exploration activities.
(f)
Tenure Risk
The Kingman Project tenements are granted under and governed by the laws of Arizona and are granted subject to conditions, including minimum annual expenditure commitments and reporting commitments. Similar conditions may be applied to future mining permits acquired by the Company or its subsidiaries. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in forfeiture of the Kingman Project tenements.
Further, the Kingman Project tenements (and any additional future mining permits held by the Company) are subject to periodic renewal. Whist there is no reason to believe that such renewals will not be granted, the Company cannot guarantee that this will occur. New conditions may also be imposed on the Kingman Project tenements (and any additional future mining permits held by the Company) under the renewal process which may adversely affect the Company.
In addition, the acquisition of the Kingman Project is reliant upon certain of the Kingman Project tenement applications being approved. If this does not occur it may, in some instances, impede the Company’s acquisition of the Kingman Project.
(g)
Government and Regulatory Risk
Operations by the Company may require approvals, consents or permits from government or regulatory authorities, including renewals of existing mining permits or title transfer to newly acquired mining permits, which may not be forthcoming or which may not be able to be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
Whilst there is no reason to believe that necessary government and regulatory approvals will not be forthcoming (other than as outlined above in respect of the Kingman Project operations), the Company cannot guarantee that those required approvals will be obtained. Failure to obtain any such approvals could mean the ability of the Company to prove-up, develop or operate any project or to acquire any project, may be inhibited or negated.
(h) Commodity Price and Currency Exchange Risks
As the Company’s potential earnings will be largely derived from the sale of mineral commodities, the Company’s future revenues and cash flows will be impacted by changes in the prices and available markets of these commodities. Any substantial decline in the price of those commodities or in transport or distribution costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of its Shares.
Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include current and expected future supply and demand, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major mineral producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates.
Page 13
Doc ID 842469343/v1
Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars while the Company cost base will be in Australian dollars. Consequently, changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate will impact on the earnings of the Company. The exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including international markets, interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.
(i)
Resource and Reserve Estimates
Estimates which were valid when originally made may change appreciably when further information becomes available. Such resource estimates are by nature imprecise, depending on interpretations which may, with further exploration, prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, should the Company encounter ore bodies or formations which differ from those suggested by past sampling and analysis, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and any production plans altered accordingly which may adversely impact the Company’s plans.
(j)
Result of Studies
Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Kingman Project (in addition to those already completed since the Company acquired an interest in the Kingman Project). These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive feasibility and bankable feasibility studies.
These studies will be completed within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the Kingman Project within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Kingman Project or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a scoping study).
Even if a study confirms the economic viability of the Kingman Project, there can be no guarantee that the Kingman Project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study (e.g. operational costs and commodity prices) once production commences. Further, the ability of the Company to complete a study may be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise further funds to complete the study if required.
(k) Agents and Contractors
The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default or the insolvency of any of the contractors which will be used by the Company in any of its activities or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity. Any default or insolvency is outside the Company’s control and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
(l)
Insurance
The Company intends to adequately 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.
Page 14
Doc ID 842469343/v1
Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available. Further, where coverage is available, the costs may be prohibitive.
(m) Environmental
The Company’s activities are subject to the environmental laws inherent in the mining industry and those specific to Arizona. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. However, the Company may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability.
In addition, environmental approvals may be required from relevant government or regulatory authorities before activities may be undertaken which are likely to impact the environment. Failure or delay in obtaining such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its planned activities. Further, the Company is unable to predict the impact of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
(n)
Rehabilitation of Tenements
In relation to the Company’s proposed operations, issues could arise from time to time with respect to abandonment costs, consequential clean-up costs, environmental concerns and other liabilities. In these instances, the Company could become subject to liability if, for example, there is environmental pollution or damage from the Company’s exploration activities and there are consequential clean-up costs at a later point in time.
(o)
Climate Change Regulation
Mining of mineral resources is relatively energy intensive and is dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. Increased regulation and government policy designed to mitigate climate change may adversely affect the Company’s cost of operations and adversely impact the financial performance of the Company.
The efforts of the American government to transition towards a lower-carbon economy may also entail extensive policy, legal, technology and market changes to address mitigation and adaption requirements related to climate change that could significantly impact the Company. Depending on the nature, speed and focus of these changes, transition risks may pose varying levels of financial and reputational risk to the company.
Furthermore, the physical risks to the Company resulting from climate change can be event driven (acute) or longer-term shifts (chronic) in climate patterns. These physical risks may have financial implications for the Company, such as direct damage to assets and indirect impacts from supply chain disruption.
(p)
Contract Risk
The operations of the Company will require the involvement of a number of third parties, including joint venture parties, suppliers, contractors and customers. With respect to joint venture parties, this includes complying with any contractual obligations (including completion obligations) under any joint venture arrangements. In
Page 15
Doc ID 842469343/v1
addition and despite applying best practice in terms of pre-contracting due diligence, the Directors are unable to completely avoid the risk of:
-
(i) financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company or its subsidiaries may become a party;
-
(ii) insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by any of the operators and contractors used by the Company or its subsidiaries in its exploration activities; or
-
(iii) insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by any other service providers used by the Company or its subsidiaries or operators for any activity.
Financial failure, insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by such third parties may have a material impact on the Company’s operations and performance. Whilst best practice pre-contracting due diligence is undertaken for all third parties engaged by the Company, it is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself completely against all such contract risks.
- (q)
Credit Risk
There is the credit risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation, resulting in the Company incurring a financial loss. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents (e.g. deposits and investments held with banks and financial institutions), favourable derivative contracts (derivative assets), and receivables, guarantees given on behalf of others and commitments granted but not drawn down at the end of the reporting period.
- (r)
Acquisitions
The Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies or assets that are complementary to its business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies or assets, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving mineral exploration success and retaining key staff.
- (s)
Safety
Safety is a fundamental risk for any exploration and production company in regards to personal injury, damage to property and equipment and other losses. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in legal proceedings against the Company and substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, damage or destruction of property, regulatory investigation, and penalties or suspension of operations. Damage occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against the Company.
(t)
Litigation
The Company may in the ordinary course of business become involved in litigation and disputes, for example with service providers, customers or third parties infringing the Company’s intellectual property rights. Any such litigation or dispute could involve significant economic costs and damage to relationships with contractors, customers or
Page 16
Doc ID 842469343/v1
other stakeholders. Such outcomes may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, reputation and financial performance.
(u)
Share Market
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. The market price of the Shares may be subject to fluctuation and may be affected by many factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) mineral/commodity price fluctuations;
-
(v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital;
-
(vii) terrorism or other hostilities; and
-
(viii) other factors beyond the control of the Company.
(v)
Commercialisation Risk
Even if the Company discovers commercial quantities of minerals, there is a risk the Company will not achieve a commercial return. The Company may not be able to transport any minerals extracted from its operations at a reasonable cost or may not be able to sell the minerals to customers at a rate which would cover its operating and capital costs. There is also a risk that necessary regulatory approvals may not be obtained.
The mineral resources industry is competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities are discovered, a profitable market will exist for sales of such commodities. There can be no assurance that the quality of the commodity will be such that the properties in which the Company holds and interest can be mined at a profit.
(w) Future Capital Needs
Additional funding beyond the funds raised under the Placement may be required by the Company to support its ongoing operations and development of the Kingman Project. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms to the Company or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance and ability to take advantage of opportunities to develop projects.
Further, any additional funding raised by issue of equity will be dilutive to the then current Shareholders. Equally, debt funding, if available in the future, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities of the Company and its subsidiaries.
(x) Changes to Laws and Regulations
Page 17
Doc ID 842469343/v1
The Company may be affected by changes to laws and regulations (in Australia, the United States of America and other countries in which the Company may operate) concerning property, the environment, superannuation, taxation trade practices and competition, government grants, incentive schemes, accounting standards and other matters. Such changes could have adverse impacts on the Company from a financial and operational perspective.
(y)
Economic Risks
The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the exploration and mining industries including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(i) general economic conditions;
-
(ii) changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;
-
(iii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the commodities (resources) sector;
-
(iv) movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates; and
-
(v) natural disasters, social upheaval, pandemic or war.
(z) Force Majeure Risk
Events may occur within or outside the markets in which the Company operates that could impact upon the global, American and Australian economies and the operations of the Company. These events include acts of terrorism, outbreaks of international hostilities, fires, pandemics, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease such as pandemics, and other man-made or natural events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s services and its ability to conduct business. Given the Company has only a limited ability to insure against some of these risks, its business, financial performance and operations may be materially adversely affected if any of the events described above occurs.
- (aa)
COVID-19 Risk
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption impacting global economic markets. As a result of governmental actions to combat the spread of COVID-19, the Company may experience delays and/or cost increases. However, the extent to which COVID19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, operations, and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including:
-
(i) the duration and scope of the pandemic;
-
(ii) governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the pandemic and the impact of those actions on global economic activity;
-
(iii) the actions taken in response to economic disruption;
Page 18
Doc ID 842469343/v1
-
(iv) the impact of business disruptions;
-
(v) the increase in business failures that we may utilise to source our supplies from and the customers we may serve;
-
(vi) uncertainty as to the impact of staff availability during and post the pandemic; and
-
(vii) the Company’s ability to provide services, including as a result of its employees or customers and suppliers working remotely and/or closures of offices and facilities.
2.2 Other Risks
This list of risk factors above is not an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The risk factors described in this Section 2 as well as risk factors not specifically referred to above may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares. Therefore, the Shares offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or their market value.
Investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under this Prospectus.

3.2 Financial effect of the Offer
After paying the expenses of the Offer of approximately $15,128 there will be no proceeds from the Offer. The expenses of the Offer (exceeding any amounts raised under the Offer, which is a maximum of $15.00) will be met from the Company's existing cash reserves. The Offer is expected to have a nominal effect on the Company's financial position of reducing the cash balance by $15,113, being receipt of funds of $15.00, less expenses of the Offer of $15,128.
As the issue of the 1,000 Shares under this Prospectus will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, a pro-forma statement of financial position of the Company showing the financial effect of the Offer has not been included in this Prospectus.
Please refer to Section 4.14 for further details on the estimated expenses of the Offer.
3.3
Effect of the Offer on control of the Company
The Company is of the view that the Offer will not affect the control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company. No new investor or existing Shareholder will have a voting power greater than 20% as a result of the completion of the Offer, (see Section 4.8).

4. Additional information
4.1
Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.
(a) General Meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b) Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder will, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares will have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c)
Dividend Rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which will be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
No dividend will carry interest as against the Company.
Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as are referred to in the resolution and which plan provides for any dividend
Page 21
Doc ID 842469343/v1
which the Directors may declare from time to time and payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, to be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of ordinary fully paid Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
(e) Shareholder Liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f)
Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
(g)
Variation of Rights
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(h)
Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
4.2
Company is a disclosing entity
The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under both the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making the information available to the stock market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions), to notify ASX once it is, or becomes aware of
Page 22

information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Shares.
