MANAGING DIRECTOR'S LETTER

26 October 2017

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board I am pleased to present Inca Minerals Limited's (Inca or Company) Prospectus for an Entitlement Offer to Shareholders.

The Entitlement Offer is a non-renounceable entitlement issue of 1 New Share for every 4 Shares held by Shareholders at an issue price of $0.006 per New Share -this represents a 33% discountto both the market price and the 10-day VWAP as at the end of trading on 25 October 2017.

This Entitlement Offer is made to all Inca Shareholders with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand and Germany on the Record Date and will raise up to approximately $3,456,685 (before associated costs).

Use of Funds Raised – Two Exciting Zinc-Focussed Projects

With our latest news announcing exceptionally strong zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) grades at Cerro Rayas, this is an exciting time to be an Inca shareholder. In short, the Company can now anticipate drilling at two projects, a maiden campaign at Cerro Rayas and a Phase 2 campaign at Greater Riqueza, in late 2017/early 2018.

Cerro Rayas has grabbed the most recent headlines with multiple plus-50% combined Zn + Pb assay values being recorded. From the 78 channel samples taken to date:

  • the top-10 Zn results are all >30% and average 37%
  • the top-10 Pb results are all >20% and average 28%
  • peak values include 42% Zn, 46% Pb and 229g/t silver (Ag) and
  • average values for the entire program include: 9% Zn and 8% Pb.

These are extremely strong grades and, importantly, are from channel samples, which are a good indication of the in situ grades.

The Zn-Pb-Ag occurrences at Cerro Rayas strongly suggest Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) mineralisation albeit the grades at Cerro Rayas to date are significantly above the average for MVT deposits (the latter being 8% combined Zn + Pb).

Excitingly, with only first-pass exploration performed at Cerro Rayas to date, there are a total of 27 breccias known already. These breccias are similar to those containing strong mineralisation and the vast majority remain untested. The Greater Riqueza Project (Riqueza) has also recently produced very positive results across a number of concurrent exploration programs: channel sampling, reconnaissance sampling and Phase 1 drilling.

Mineralisation exposed in the largest underground mine working at the Humaspunco Prospect was recently channel sampled. Two large veins exposed in the galleries and stopes returned values from several channels ranging 2% > 22% Zn, 50g/t > 240g/t Ag, and 2% > 18% Pb.

In reconnaissance sampling several new mineralised veins have been identified, among them, a vein with 3.75% Zn, 136g/t Ag and 3.13% Pb, and another vein with 6.52g/t gold (Au) and 194g/t Ag. In recent drilling, grades associated with manto and vein mineralisation have been positive. In drill holes RDDH-013 & 14, manto mineralisation, occurring at shallow depths and almost parallel to the surface, has returned values of circa 4% Zn, 100g/t Ag and 4% Pb. In several earlier holes, vein mineralisation with varying grades, up to 13% Zn, is now known from surface to depth of >400m. Disseminated mineralisation has also been identified in holes drilled into a large structure (the Callancocha Structure).

The strong belief from exploration conducted at Riqueza so far is that Inca has discovered a very large 5km x 5km intrusive-related mineralised system, including carbonate hosted replacement Zn-Ag-Pb mineralisation (Humaspunco prospect), epithermal Au-Ag-Zn-Pb mineralisation (Uchpanga and the new Colina Roja prospects) and skarn copper (Cu) mineralisation (Pampa Corral prospect). Ten mines within 50km of Riqueza exploit deposits with this type of mineralisation.

The Company intends using funds raised under the Entitlement Offer to conduct exploration at both the Cerro Rayas and Riqueza projects, with remaining funds to provide the Company with additional working capital. It is the intention to drill at both projects as soon as possible. In the case of Cerro Rayas, to commence our maiden drilling program. In the case of Riqueza, to commence Phase 2 drilling.

Please read this investment opportunity and Prospectus carefully. An investment in the Company contains specific risks which you should consider before deciding to invest. If you are unsure, or require further information, you should obtain the appropriate professional advice.

The Board looks forward to reporting strong exploration results from both Cerro Rayas and Riqueza in the near future and looks forward to your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Ross Brown Managing Director

1. Details of the Offers

1.1 The Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is a non-renounceable pro rata entitlement issue of 1 New Share for every 4 Shares held by Shareholders on the Record Date at an issue price of $0.006 per New Share (Entitlement Offer) to raise up to approximately $3,456,685 (before associated costs).

Under this Prospectus, Eligible Shareholders on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

At the date of this Prospectus, the Company has 2,304,456,867 Shares on issue. Accordingly, the Entitlement Offer is for the issue of up to approximately 576,114,217 New Shares.

Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Shareholder results in a fraction of a New Share, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share. Refer to Section 5.1 for a summary of the rights attaching to New Shares. Any New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that are not applied for will form the Shortfall Shares. The offer to issue Shortfall Shares is a separate offer under this Prospectus (Shortfall Offer).

1.2 Reasons for the Offers and Funding Allocation

The purpose of the Entitlement Offer and the Shortfall Offer (Offers) is to raise up to approximately $3,456,685 (before associated costs).

Funds raised under the Offers will allow the Company to conduct exploration programs at the Company's Cerro Rayas and Riqueza projects in Peru and provide the Company with additional working capital. Funds raised under the Offers are proposed to be expended as follows:

Description of Cash Outflows (A$)(1) (A$)(2) (A$)(3)
Riqueza and Cerro Rayas ExplorationProgrammes 2,713,823 2,071,013 1,429,317
Associated Costs of the Offers 82,862 81,501 79,026
Working Capital 660,000 440,000 220,000
Total Funds Raised Under the Offers $3,456,685 $2,592,514 $1,728,343

Notes:

  1. Assumes the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed.

  2. Assumes the Entitlement Offer is 75% subscribed.

  3. Assumes the Entitlement Offer is 50% subscribed.

Actual expenditure may differ significantly from the above estimates due to a number of factors including market conditions, $US/$A exchange rates, the development of new opportunities, the results obtained from the staged approach to exploration, appraisal and development activities and other factors (including the risk factors outlined in Section 4).

In addition to the above listed associated costs of the Offers the Company reserves the right to pay a commission of up to 6% (exclusive of goods and services tax) of amounts subscribed through any licensed securities dealers or Australian financial services licensee in respect of any valid Applications lodged and accepted by the Company (further information is provided in Section 6.8). Payment will be subject to the receipt of a proper tax invoice from the licensed securities dealer or Australian financial services licensee.

If less than $3,456,685 (before associated costs) is raised pursuant to the Offers, the Company will firstly pay the associated costs of the Offers and then scale back funds available for exploration activities and working capital.

1.3 Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offers.

1.4 Opening and Closing Dates

The Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms in respect to the Entitlement Offer from Eligible Shareholders from the Opening Date until 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.

1.5 Shortfall Offer

Any New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that are not applied for will form the Shortfall Shares. The offer to issue Shortfall Shares is a separate offer under this Prospectus.

Under this Prospectus, the Company offers to issue the Shortfall Shares to an investor at the same price of $0.006 per New Share as that offered under the Entitlement Offer. The Shortfall Shares will have the same rights as the New Shares as detailed in Section 5.1.

Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares by completing the relevant section of their Entitlement and Acceptance Form (refer to Section 3.4 for further details).

Other investors may also apply for Shortfall Shares by completing the Shortfall Application Form upon invitation from the Company.

Shortfall Shares may be allocated to any Eligible Shareholder or to other investors who apply for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer, at the absolute discretion of the Directors.

Shortfall Shares will not be issued to any Applicant if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that Applicant's voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

An Application for Shortfall Shares accompanied by payment of the Application Monies does not guarantee the allotment of any Shortfall Shares. The Shortfall Shares will be allocated within three months after the Closing Date.

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

1.6 Underwriting

The Offers are not underwritten.

1.7 Entitlements Trading

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable which means that Eligible Shareholders who do not exercise all or some of their Entitlements may not then otherwise sell, transfer or dispose of their remaining Entitlements to any other party. If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up their Entitlements to New Shares on or before the Closing Date then the Entitlement Offer to that Eligible Shareholder will lapse and their shareholding will be diluted with no compensating benefits. New Shares which are not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders will become Shortfall Shares.

1.8 Risks of the Offers

As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. However, having regard to the matters detailed in Section 1.2 and the risk applicable to the Company and its business detailed in Section 4, Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment for the Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative and there exists a risk that you may, in the future, lose some or all of the value of your investment.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety, including the specific risks associated with an investment in the Company (detailed in Section 4), and should consider all factors in light of their personal circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.

1.9 Application Forms and BPAY® Payments

Acceptance of a completed Application Form, or alternatively, a BPAY® payment, by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of New Shares accepted by the Company. The Application does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of New Shares.

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.

1.10 Issue and Despatch

New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are expected to be issued, and security holder statements despatched, on or before the date in the Indicative Timetable. Shortfall Shares may be issued within three months after the Closing Date.

It is an Applicant's responsibility to determine their allocation before trading in New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before receiving their holding statements do so at their own risk.

1.11 Application Monies Held on Trust

All Application Monies 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 New Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the New Shares are not issued.

1.12 ASX Quotation

Application will be made to ASX no later than seven days after the date of this Prospectus for Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares offered by this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as the ASX allows), no New Shares will be issued or allotted under the Offers and the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.

ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.13 Effect on Control

The Company has not appointed a nominee in respect of the Entitlements of Foreign Shareholders pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the exemption to the 20% takeovers threshold under item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act is not available to Shareholders taking up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

No New Shares will be issued to any Shareholder or Applicant pursuant to this Prospectus if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that Shareholder's or Applicant's voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

The Offers are not expected to give rise to control implications for the Company albeit that the effect of the Offers on the voting power in the Company, for the purposes of the Corporations Act, is dependent upon the number of New Shares taken up.

1.14 Withdrawal

The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Offers, in which case, the Company will return all Application Monies (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

1.15 CHESS

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

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Securities. If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of Securities 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 Securities.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored subregister, your statement will be despatched by Advanced Share Registry Services and will contain the number of Securities 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.

1.16 Foreign Shareholders

The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to any Shareholders whose registered address is outside Australia, Germany or New Zealand. The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders outside Australia, Germany and New Zealand, having regard to:

  • (a) the number of those Shareholders;
  • (b) the number and value of Shares to be offered to those persons; and
  • (c) the cost of complying with overseas legal requirements.

The Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer other than for Shareholders in Australia, Germany and New Zealand. The Company is not required to make offers under the Prospectus to Shareholders other than in Australia, Germany and New Zealand. Where the Prospectus has been despatched to Shareholders domiciled outside Australia, Germany or New Zealand and where the country's securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the offer contemplated by the Prospectus, the Prospectus is provided for information purposes only. Shareholders resident in Australia, Germany and New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

Germany

Information in this Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that all offers of entitlements and New Shares will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Directive 2003/71/EC (Prospectus Directive), as amended and implemented in Germany, from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities.

  • to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors within the meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Company or any underwriter for any such offer; or

  • in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of securities shall result in a requirement for the publication by the Company of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

4. Risk factors

The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative and carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends or returns of capital. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend that potential investors consult their professional advisers and consider the risks factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

The following list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of all the risks faced by the Company or by Shareholders. The proposed future activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks and other factors which may impact its future performance. Some of these risks can be managed and mitigated by planning and the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside the control of the Company or the Directors and cannot be mitigated.

4.1 Company Specific Risk

(a) General

The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the future operating and financial performance of the Company. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the Company. The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can be effectively managed is limited.

(b) Additional Requirements for Capital

Since its inception the Company's principal activity has been and remains the exploration for commercially exploitable mineral deposits and the Company does not as yet generate revenue from its principal activity. Accordingly, the Company requires continual equity or debt funding to meet existing and future expenditure requirements and there is no guarantee the Company will secure sufficient funding to implement its exploration intentions as outlined in the Prospectus. Should the Company require additional funding there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. An inability to obtain additional funding, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and performance and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

(c) Permit Risk

The Company's main exploration projects are located in Peru. While not all exploration activities on the Company's projects require permits, some exploration activities involving drilling cannot be conducted without the requisite government permits. There is a risk of delay or that applicable laws, regulations or the governing authorities will change or that such changes will result in additional material expenditures or time delays. There is also a risk that the necessary land acquisitions, permits, certificates, consents, authorisations and agreements required to implement future exploration, project development, or mining of the Company's projects may not be obtained under conditions or within time frames that make such plans economic.

(d) Operating Risk

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors not within its control. Funds raised under the Offers are intended to be used to conduct exploration programs at the Company's Cerro Rayas Project and Greater Riqueza Project in Peru and as additional working capital where warranted. The operations of the Company may be affected by failure to locate or identify commercially viable mineral deposits, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect eventual extraction costs, possible seismic activity, operational and technical difficulties encountered in drilling and exploration, operating and maintaining plant and equipment, mechanical failure, industrial and environmental accidents, labour shortages, industrial and environmental disputes, obtaining government approvals, adverse weather conditions, fire, explosions, rock falls, unusual or unexpected rock formations, and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment or labour. The Company's projects are located within Peru's Andes mountain range and there is a risk that heavy snow fall or rain may adversely impact the Company's exploration activities. These risks and hazards could also result in damage to or destruction of property, plant and equipment, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. The Company may become subject to liability for accidents, pollution or other hazards against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of premium costs or for other reasons, or in amounts which exceed policy limits.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through exploration success and exploitation of its projects and, until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operational losses.

(e) Social Licence Risk

Engagement with and approval from traditional communities with surface rights and interests in the Cerro Rayas Project and the Greater Riqueza Project is an important requirement for continued operations in Peru. If local communities become dissatisfied or feel their rights are being abrogated, this can cause delays to permitting, operations or indeed cessation of a project.

(f) Project Access Risk

The Cerro Rayas Project and the Greater Riqueza Project are accessed by a national arterial highway, sealed roads and gravel tracks in Peru. Seismic activity or extreme weather may result in closure of the highway, roads or tracks thereby delaying access to these projects.

(g) Sovereign Risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the government in Peru will remain stable or supportive of the mining and resources sector and existing ownership structures. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee ongoing access, surety of title and tenure of its Peruvian based assets. Outcomes in Peruvian courts may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or its subsidiary in Peru.

(h) Government Policies and Legislation

Any material adverse changes in government policies, legislation or shifts in political attitude in Australia or Peru that affect mineral exploration activities, tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidies and environmental issues may affect the viability of a project, projects or the Company.

No assurance can be given that amendments to current laws and regulations or new rules and regulations will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could substantially limit or affect the Company's exploration and operating activities.

(i) Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risk

The Company's Cerro Rayas Project and Greater Riqueza Project are prospective, inter alia, for zinc, silver, lead and gold. The market price of these commodities 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 metal producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates. Fluctuations in commodity prices may impact on the commercial attractiveness or viability of the Company's projects.

Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars and the Company's cost base will be in a combination of Australian dollars, United States dollars and Peruvian sol. Consequently, changes in these exchange rates may impact on the expenditure of the Company and the Company's purchasing capacity. The exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

(j) Environmental Risk

The Company's projects are subject to Peruvian and Australian laws and regulations concerning the environment. The Company's activities are expected to have some impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development were to occur in the future. 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, in future, require additional approval from authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals may prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws and regulations would materially increase the Company's costs of doing business or affect its operations in any area. If the Company's projects prove to be large scale projects, the resulting development of such a large scale project could require a substantial environmental footprint that may demand operating restrictions that could act to make the project uneconomic.

(k) No Profit to Date

The Company has incurred losses since its inception. It is therefore not possible to evaluate its prospects based on past performance. Since the Company intends to continue investing in its exploration programs the Directors anticipate making further losses in the foreseeable future. While Directors have confidence in the future potential of the Company, there can be no certainty that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from its operating activities.

4.2 Industry Risk

(a) Mining and Exploration Risk

The business of mineral exploration, development and production is subject to risk by its nature. The success of the business depends, inter alia, on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, securing and maintaining title to concessions and tenements, successful design, construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and mining are speculative undertakings which may be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining problems. Increased costs, lower output or high operating costs may all contribute to make a project less profitable than expected at the time of the development decision. There is no assurance that the Company's attempts to exploit its exploration activities will be successful.

The Company's exploration activities to date are not advanced to a stage where reliable reserve or resource estimates can be made. Reserve and resource estimates, if made in the future, are judgments based on drilling results, past experience with mining properties, knowledge, experience, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Ore estimation is an interpretive process based on available data and interpretations and, thus, estimations may prove inaccurate.

The actual quality and characteristics of ore deposits cannot be known until mining takes place, and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop reserves. Further, reserves are valued based on future costs and future prices and, consequently, the actual reserves and resources may differ from those estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect.

No assurance can be given that commercial tonnages, grades or recovery will be achieved or realised. Commodity price fluctuations, increased production costs, or reduced recovery rates, may render possible reserves containing relatively lower grades uneconomic and may result in a restatement of such reserves. Moreover, shortterm operating factors relating to possible reserves, such as sequential development of ore bodies and processing of new or different ore types or grades, may cause mining operations to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.

There is a risk that unforeseen geological and geotechnical difficulties may be encountered if and when developing and mining reserves. In this event, a loss of revenue may be caused due to the lower than expected production and/or higher than anticipated operation and maintenance costs and/or on-going unplanned capital expenditure in order to meet production targets.

(b) Title

The Company's mining exploration activities are dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance of appropriate licenses, which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintaining of license, obtaining renewals, or getting licenses granted, often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals for its proposed activities and that the licenses, concessions, tenements, leases, permits or consents it holds will be renewed as and when required. There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith.

(c) Results of Studies

Subject to the results of future exploration and testing programs, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Company's current or new projects. These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility and bankable feasibility studies.

These studies will be completed within certain parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the Company's current or new projects within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Company's current or new projects 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).

Further, even if a study determines the economics of the Company's current or new projects, there can be no guarantee that the current or new projects will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study once production commences including but not limited to operation costs, mineral recoveries and commodity prices. In addition, 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.

(d) Metallurgy

Metal or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature processing contains elements of significant risk such as:

  • (i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal or concentrate;
  • (ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal or concentrate; and
  • (iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

No assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery from mineral resources or reserves will in fact be realised or that a mineral resource will ever qualify as commercially viable which can be legally and economically exploited.

(e) Economic and Government Risks

Economic and legislative changes in either Australia or Peru may affect the future viability of the Company. The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting the performance of all industries, not just the exploration and mining industries. These factors include, but are not limited to:

  • (i) General economic conditions in Australia, Peru and their respective major trading partners.
  • (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.
  • (v) Natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia, Peru and other countries.

Industry profitability can be affected by changes in government within Peru, Australia and other jurisdictions, which are outside the control of the Company. The Company's activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration for and mining of minerals, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment and interests of native and/or indigenous peoples. Permits from regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. There is no assurance that permits will be obtained when sought or that unfavourable conditions will not be imposed. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in development of the Company's tenements, the extent of which cannot be predicted.

(f) 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 involvement with the Company.

(g) Competition

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While the Company undertakes all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company has no influence or control over the activities of competitors and these activities may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.

(h) Insurance

Insurance of all risks associated with exploration is not always available and, where it is available, the cost may be high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company's needs.

The business of the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as extreme weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties, buildings, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Company maintains insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations and insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability, particularly if the Company seeks to acquire new projects which are located in other jurisdictions or involve a new commodity.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

4.3 General Risk

(a) Securities investments

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for mining and exploration companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Securities regardless of the Company's operational performance.

(b) Share Market Conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are 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 price fluctuations.

  • (v) Changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors.

  • (vi) The demand for, and supply of, capital.

  • (vii) Terrorism or other hostilities.

  • (viii) Other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The market price of the Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource 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.

(c) Economic Risk

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, the rate of growth of gross domestic product in Australia, Peru or any other country in which the Company operates, interest rates, exchange rates and the rate of inflation.

(d) Competition

The Company will compete with other companies, including other mineral exploration and mining companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and produce other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

4.4 Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors and others not specifically referred to above, may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under the Prospectus.

The Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

5. Rights attaching to Securities

5.1 Rights attaching to New Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution which is available online or at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting rights

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

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.

(c) Payment of Dividend

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the rights of any persons entitled to shares with special rights to dividend, the Directors may determine that a dividend is payable, fix the amount and the time for payment of the dividend and authorise the payment or crediting of the dividend by the Company to, or at the direction of, each Shareholder entitled to that dividend. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, 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. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other Securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to the Constitution and to any restrictions attached to a Share, a Shareholder may transfer any of the Shareholder's Shares by:

  • (i) a proper ASTC transfer;
  • (ii) a written transfer in any usual form or in any other form approved by the Directors; or
  • (iii) any other electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules.

(f) Future increase in capital

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

(g) Variation of rights

Under Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (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) Changes to Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the members present and voting at a general meeting of the Company. At least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

(i) Meetings and Notices

Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations and the Listing Rules.

5.2 Dividend Policy

The Company does not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the immediately foreseeable future.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the sole discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

6. Additional Information

6.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act, and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities. The New Shares which will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are in the same class as Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the three months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities, or operation to acquire securities, in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, the financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the closing date of the Offers:
    • (i) the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 being the most recent annual report of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and

(ii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the lodgement of its annual report on 25 October 2017:
