Investment Overview

This Section is intended to highlight key information for potential investors. It is an overview only, and is not intended to replace the Prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus in full before deciding to invest in Quoted Options.

Key Information FurtherInformation
Transaction specific prospectusThis Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of options to acquirecontinuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been preparedin accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same levelof disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in thisProspectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for thepurposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to beknown to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult. Section 5.4
Risk factorsPotential investors should be aware that subscribing for Quoted Options in the Companyinvolves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are setout in Section 4.1 and 4.2, including (but not limited to) risks in respect of: Section 4
Limited history risk: The Company has limited operational and financial history onwhich to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Companymust beconsidered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered bycompanies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineralexploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty.
Future capital requirements: The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikelyto generate any operating revenue unless and until its projects are successfullydeveloped and production commences. The future capital requirements of theCompany will depend on many factors including its business development activities.
Conflicts of interest: The Company's Directors are also directors of other companiesengaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions.Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which the Directorsbecomes aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the firstinstance. Although the Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to theCompany, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these personsand situations could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, other companiescould detract from their efforts on behalf of the Company.
Grant risk for exploration licence application: Tenements E 38/3616 and E 38/3618(Collurabbie North projects) are applications for exploration licences which must begranted to the Company before the Company may acquire 100% legal and beneficialinterest in the tenements. Whilst the Company has no reason to believe theapplications will not be granted, there is a risk that the applications may not be grantedor only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.
Tenement title: As at the date of this Prospectus the Company holds the Tenements.The Company's title to the Tenements (and if applicable, once granted) will generallyrequire the Company to continue to satisfy its expenditure or work commitments. This
Key Information FurtherInformation
cannot be guaranteed. The Company could therefore lose title to or its interest intenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meetexpenditure commitments as and when they arise.
Exploration and developmental risk: Mineral exploration and development is a highrisk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of acquired projects orany other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in thediscovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified,there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
Resource estimation risks: At present none of the Projects host a mineral resourceor reserve estimate. Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activitieswith the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the explorationwill result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, noassurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted.
Tenure and access risk: The Company's rights in tenements may be obtained bygrant by regulatory authorities or be subject to contracts with third parties.
In the event the applications for E 38/3616 and E 38/3618 (Collurabbie North project)tenements are granted, E38/3616 and E38/3618 (Collurabbie North) will encroachpartially on the Windidda Pastoral Lease (N049460). As the holder of the pastorallease has not lodged objections to the grant of E38/3616 and E38/3618, it is unlikelythat the Company will enter into an access and compensation agreement with respectto the Company's activities on the pastoral lease. EPM14309 (Paperbark Project) issubject to a Conduct and Compensation Agreement with the owners of YeldhamStation in relation to the conduct of exploration activities and overlaps with an'Authority to Prospect' petroleum tenement granted under the Petroleum Act 1923(Qld) and the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 (Qld). There is arisk that a dispute or difference with the holder of the overlapping petroleum title couldarise in relation to each party's operations on the area of EPM14309. If this was tooccur, this could result in delays, increased costs or operational restrictions on theCompany's activities in that area.
Any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully ornot and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and accessto any, or all, of the tenements. Third parties may also default on their obligationsunder the contracts which may lead to termination of the contracts.
Additionally, the Company may not be able to access the tenements due to naturaldisasters or adverse weather conditions, political unrest, hostilities or failure to obtainthe relevant approvals and consents
Market conditions: The market price of the Company's Shares, and following issue ofQuoted Options under this Prospectus, its Quoted Options, can fall as well as rise andmay be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities ingeneral and resource exploration stocks in particular.

1 Details of the Offers

1.1 Entitlement Offer

The Company is making a non-renounceable pro rata offer of Quoted Options at an issue price of $0.001 each to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of 1 Quoted Option for every 2 Shares held at 5.00pm (WST) on the Record Date (Entitlement Offer). Each Quoted Option will have an exercise price of $0.20 and will expire on 16 June 2025.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has on issue 34,950,000 Shares and 3,000,000 Unquoted Options.

Assuming no Unquoted Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the Entitlement Offer is for a maximum of 17,475,000 Quoted Options to raise up to approximately $17,475 (before costs).

Up to 18,975,000 Quoted Options could be issued under the Entitlement Offer to raise up to approximately $18,975 if all the existing Unquoted Options are exercised between the date of the Prospectus and the Record Date.

Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a Quoted Option, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole Quoted Option.

Refer to Section 5.1 for a summary of the terms and conditions of the Quoted Options under the Entitlement Offer. Shares issued upon exercise of the Quoted Options will be fully paid and will rank equally with the Company's existing Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares is in Section 5.2.

Please refer to Section 2 for details on how to apply for Quoted Options under the Entitlement Offer.

1.2 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (if any) will form the Shortfall Offer.

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three (3) months following the Entitlement Offer Closing Date (or such shorter period as determined by the Directors). All Shortfall Options shall be issued on the same terms as the Quoted Options being offered under the Entitlement Offer (including the issue price).

The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Options at their absolute discretion, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. As such there is no guarantee that Applicants under the Shortfall Offer will receive any Shortfall Options applied for under the Shortfall Offer. The Directors reserve the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Options than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject an Application for Shortfall Options, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall Options. In that event, Application Monies will be refunded by the Company (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

Please refer to Section 2.6 for details on how to apply for Quoted Options under the Shortfall Offer.

1.3 Opening and Closing Dates

In terms of the Entitlement Offer, the Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms from the Record Date for determining Eligible Shareholders' Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer until 5.00pm WST on Tuesday, 7 June 2022 or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules (Entitlement Offer Closing Date).

The Shortfall Offer will remain open for up to three (3) months following the Entitlement Offer Closing Date unless closed earlier at the Directors' discretion (Shortfall Offer Closing Date).

1.4 Withdrawal of Offers

The Company reserves the right not to proceed with the Offers at any time before the issue of Quoted Options. If the Offers do not proceed, the Company will return all Application Monies, without interest, as soon as practical after giving notice of its withdrawal.

1.5 No rights trading

The Entitlements to Quoted Options under the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you may not dispose of your Entitlement to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to Quoted Options under the Entitlement Offer by the Entitlement Offer Closing Date, the offer to you will lapse.

1.6 Application Monies held on trust

All Application Monies received for the Quoted Options under the Offers 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 Quoted Options are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the Quoted Options are not issued.

1.7 ASX quotation

Application has been made to the ASX for Official Quotation of the Quoted Options.

The Quoted Options will only be admitted to Official Quotation by ASX if the conditions for quotation of a new class of securities are satisfied (which include, amongst other things, there being a minimum of 100,000 Quoted Options on issue, with at least 50 holders with a marketable parcel (within the meaning of the Listing Rules)).

The fact that ASX may agree to grant official quotation of the Quoted Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Quoted Options. ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.

If official quotation of the Quoted Options is not granted by ASX within three months of the date of this Prospectus, any issue or transfer of the Quoted Options (or Shares issued on exercise of the Quoted Options) will be void and the Application Monies will be refunded in full without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.

1.8 Issue date

The Quoted Options will be issued only after all Application Monies have been received and the ASX has granted permission for the Quoted Options to be quoted. It is expected that Quoted Options will be issued on Tuesday, 14 June 2022 and trading of the Quoted Options on the ASX is expected to commence on Tuesday, 14 June 2022.

Security holder statements will be dispatched at the end of the calendar month following the issue of the Quoted Options under the Offers.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Quoted Options. Applicants who sell Quoted Options before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

1.9 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

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

If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Limited will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will specify the number of Quoted Options 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 Quoted Options, including a notice to exercise the Quoted Options.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of Quoted Options 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.

1.10 Ineligible Foreign Shareholders

No offer will be made to Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand.

This Prospectus, and any accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer of Quoted Options in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus or the Quoted Options.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the Offers to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. The Company has formed this view having considered:

  • (a) the number and value of the Quoted Options that would be offered to those Ineligible Foreign Shareholders; and
  • (b) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.

Accordingly, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Offers.

1.11 New Zealand offer restrictions

The Quoted Options are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Eligible Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand on the Record Date.

This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

1.12 Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Entitlement Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offers is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

1.13 Risk factors

An investment in Securities should be regarded as highly speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are certain specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are detailed in Section 4.

1.14 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Quoted Options.

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

1.15 Major activities and financial information

A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company for the half-year ended 31 December 2021, can be found in the Company's Half-Year Accounts announced on ASX on 11 March 2022. The Company's continuous disclosure notices (i.e. ASX announcements) since listing on ASX on 21 December 2021 are listed in Section 5.5. Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. The Directors strongly recommend that Applicants review these and all other announcements prior to deciding whether or not to participate in the Offers.

1.16 Underwriting and minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offers and the Offers are not underwritten.

1.17 Effect on control of the Company

The Company is of the view that the Offers will not affect the control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company. No investor or existing Shareholder will have a voting power greater than 20% as a result of the completion of the Offers.

1.18 Privacy

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your Securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company's share registry.

By submitting an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the share registry, the Company's related bodies corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to ASX and regulatory authorities.

3 Effect of the Offers

3.1 Capital structure on completion of the Offers

Assuming that no existing Unquoted Options are exercised before the Record Date, the effect of the Offers on the Company's issued capital as at the date of this Prospectus is as shown in the following table:

Shares QuotedOptions1 UnquotedOptions2
Balance at the date of thisProspectus 34,950,000 Nil 3,000,000
Maximum Quoted Options to beissued pursuant to theOffers Nil 17,475,000 Nil
Total 34,950,000 17,475,000 3,000,000

Notes:

    1. Assumes the Offers are fully subscribed.
    1. Comprised of 3,000,000 Unquoted Options exercisable at $0.25 each on or before 21 January 2024 on the terms set out in section 7.2 of the IPO Prospectus.

3.2 Use of funds

Up to approximately $17,475 will be raised as a result of theOffers.

The Company will receive $0.20 for each Quoted Option exercised. If all Quoted Options offered are issued and exercised, the Company will receive approximately $3,495,000. There is no certainty that any Quoted Options will be exercised and the proportion exercised will depend on the Share price relative to the exercise price during the exercise period. It is currently intended that any funds raised by the exercise of the Quoted Options will be used for exploration and development on the Company's existing projects, evaluation of new opportunities and for working capital. Working capital includes but is not limited to corporate administration and operating costs and may be applied to additional directors' fees or executive fees, ASX and share registry fees, legal, tax and audit fees, insurance and travel costs.

The Company notes there are extra costs associated with the Quoted Options. The Company intends to use a portion of the funds raised from the Offers towards any payments associated with the exercise of Quoted Options issued under the Offers.

The application of funds will depend on when Quoted Options are exercised and the status of the Company's projects and requirements at the relevant time.

The above is a statement of current intentions at the date of this Prospectus. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

3.3 Financial effect of the Offers

The Offers will have an effect on the Company's financial position of decreasing the cash balance by approximately $17,525, being receipt of funds of approximately $17,475, less expenses of the Offers of approximately $35,000. As the issue of the Quoted Options 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 Offers has not been included in this Prospectus.

Please refer to Section 5.12 for further details on the estimated expenses of the Offers.

3.4 Market price of Shares

The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the three months immediately preceding the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC and the respective dates of those sales were:

Lowest: $0.17 on 13 May 2022

Highest: $0.22 on 19 April 2022

The latest available market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC was $0.17 per Share on 13 May 2022.

4 Risk Factors

As with any securities investment, there are risks involved. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the potential risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Quoted Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

4.1 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Limited operational history

The Company has limited operational history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses.

(b) Future capital requirements

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until a Project or Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the its recent IPO offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in the IPO Prospectus.

In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or exercise price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

No assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the Tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.

(c) New projects and acquisitions

The Company will actively pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.

The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of

comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.

(d) Conflicts of interest

The Company's Directors are also directors of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which the Directors becomes aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although the Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons and situations could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, other companies could detract from their efforts on behalf of the Company.

4.2 Mining Industry Risks

(a) Grant risk for Exploration Licence Applications

As noted in the Company's IPO Prospectus, tenements E38/3616 and E38/3618 (Collurabbie North) are applications for an exploration licence which must be granted to the Company before the Company may acquire 100% legal and beneficial interest in those tenements.

Whilst the Company has no reason to believe these applications will not be granted, there is a risk that the applications may not be granted or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.

If an application is not granted, the Company will not acquire an interest in that particular tenement. The tenement application therefore should not be considered as an asset of the Company. Information in respect of the tenement applications is provided in this Prospectus to provide investors with sufficient information about each in the event such applications are granted.

(b) Tenement title

As at the date of this Prospectus the Company holds the Tenements. The Company's title to Tenements (and if applicable, once granted) will generally require the Company to continue to satisfy its expenditure or work commitments. This cannot be guaranteed.

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by federal and state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences. Each licence is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance, such as satisfaction of statutory payments (including land taxes and statutory duties) and compliance with work programmes and public health and safety laws. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise.

Further, exploration licences, once granted, are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenement renewals will be approved. Renewal of the term of a granted tenement is at the discretion of the relevant government authority and may include additional or varied expenditure or work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of the areas comprising the Company's projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

The Tenements may be relinquished either in total or in part even though a viable mineral deposit may be present, in the event that:

  • (i) exploration or production programmes yield negative results;
  • (ii) insufficient funding is available;
  • (iii) such a tenement is considered by the Company to not meet the risk/reward or other criteria of the Company;
  • (iv) its relative perceived prospectivity is less than that of other tenements in the Company's portfolio, which take a higher priority; or
  • (v) a variety of other reasons.

(c) Exploration and development risks

Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource.

Exploration in terrains with existing mineralisation endowments and known occurrences may slightly mitigate this risk.

Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding, adverse government policy, geological conditions, commodity prices or other technical difficulties.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its projects.

(d) Operating risk

Should the Company be successful in developing a Project or Projects, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including 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.

(e) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

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

(f) Resource estimation risks

At present none of the Projects host a mineral resource or reserve estimate. Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. The calculation and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company's operations.

(g) Payment obligations

Pursuant to the licences comprising the Company's Projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the Tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the Tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in the Projects.

(h) Metals and currency price volatility

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities may expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. The price of base metals fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, such as industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of metals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. Future serious price declines in the market values of some base metals, and other minerals could cause the development of, and eventually the commercial production from, the Company's projects and the Company's other properties to be rendered uneconomic. Depending on the prices of commodities, the Company could be forced to discontinue production or development and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of its properties. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of base metals are produced, a profitable market will exist for it.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

In addition to adversely affecting any potential future reserve estimates of the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.

(i) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.

Some of the Company's competitors 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 other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

(j) Land access risk

Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and access to the surface rights. Minerals rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining licences is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential. The Company may not be successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary licences to conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the Tenements.

(k) Native title risks

A number of the Tenements overlap with areas of determined native title, and one Tenement overlaps an area of an unregistered native title claim.

There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Tenements or in the vicinity.

The existence of native title or native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements (or a subsequent determination of native title over the area), will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (Native Title Act).

However, if any Tenement was not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities. There is nothing in the Company's enquiries to indicate that any of the Tenements were not validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.

The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

In addition, determined native title holders may seek compensation under the Native Title Act for the impacts of acts affecting native title rights and interests after the commencement of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) on 31 October 1975.

The State of Western Australia has passed liability for compensation for the impact of the grant of mining tenements under the Mining Act onto mining tenement holders pursuant to section 125A of the Mining Act. Outstanding compensation liability will lie with the current holder of the Tenements at the time of any award of compensation pursuant to section 125A of the Mining Act or, in the event there is no holder at that time, the immediate past holder of the relevant Tenement(s).

Compensation liability may be determined by the Federal Court or settled by agreement with native title holders, including through Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs) (which have statutory force) and common law agreements (which do not have statutory force). At this stage, the Company is not able to quantify any potential compensation payments, if any.

(l) Heritage Risk

In addition to the registered Aboriginal sites and other heritage sites identified in Part D of the Legal Report on Mining Tenements at Annexure B to the IPO Prospectus, there remains a risk that other Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.

Further, a number of the Tenements overlap land included in the National Heritage List, which recognises natural, historic and Indigenous places of outstanding heritage significance to Australia. Permission from the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment is required for actions that may have a significant impact on National Heritage Register listed sites. The assessment and approval process may take 18-24 months or longer. There is a risk such approvals are not provided, which would limit the amount of activity that could be undertaken on a particular tenement.

(m) Third party risks

Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation (as applicable), the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests which overlay areas within the Tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements.

As noted in Company's IPO Prospectus, E38/3616 and E38/3618 (Collurabbie North) will encroach partially on the Windidda Pastoral Lease (N049460). As the holder of the pastoral lease has not lodged objections to the grant of E38/3616 and E38/3618, it is unlikely that the Company will enter into an access and compensation agreement with respect to the Company's activities on the pastoral lease.

Access and compensation agreements with pastoral leaseholders can be useful to ensure that the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any future disputes arising in relation to amounts of compensation which may be applicable. In the absence of an agreement, the Mining Warden's Court determines compensation payable by the Company to the pastoral lessee. There is a risk the Company may be required to pay compensation to the pastoral lessee.

EPM14309 (Paperbark Project) is subject to a Conduct and Compensation Agreement with the owners of Yeldham Station in relation to the conduct of exploration activities and overlaps with an 'Authority to Prospect' petroleum tenement granted under the Petroleum Act 1923 (Qld) and the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 (Qld). There is a risk that a dispute or difference with the holder of the overlapping petroleum title could arise in relation to each party's operations on the area of EPM14309. If this was to occur, this could result in delays, increased costs or operational restrictions on the Company's activities in that area.

In addition, there are numerous leasehold interests underling the tenements located in private land in Queensland. A tenement holder is not permitted to enter private land for the purpose of accessing or carrying out an activity it is authorised to carry out on the tenement unless the holder has given each owner and occupier of the land an entry notice.

Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

(n) Environmental risk

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to Australian laws and regulations concerning the environment. The costs of complying with these laws and regulations may impact the development of economically viable projects. 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 field 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 cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

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

Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

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

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

(o) Tenure and access risk

The Company's rights in the Tenements may be obtained by grant by regulatory authorities or be subject to contracts with third parties.

Any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the tenements. Third parties may also default on their obligations under the contracts which may lead to termination of the contracts.

Additionally, the Company may not be able to access the Tenements due to natural disasters or adverse weather conditions, political unrest, hostilities or failure to obtain the relevant approvals and consents.

(p) Regulatory risk

The Company will need to obtain regulatory approvals and licences to undertake its operations. There is no guarantee that such approvals and licences will be granted. In addition, various conditions may be imposed on the grants of such regulatory approvals and licences which may impact on the cost or the ability of the Company to mine the tenements.

(q) Reliance on key personnel

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.

It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

4.3 General Risks

(a) Economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward-selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

(b) Market conditions

The market price of the Company's securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;
  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
  • (iii) currency fluctuations;
  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment;
  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

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

(c) Contractual risk

If the Company enters into agreements with third parties for the acquisition or divestment of equity interests in mineral exploration and mining projects there are no guarantees that any such contractual obligations will be satisfied in part or in full.

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties of obligations under certain agreements. If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

(d) Force majeure

The Company's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.

(e) Government and legal risk

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.

The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.

(f) Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position.

The Company is currently not engaged in any litigation.

(g) 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.

(h) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Quoted Options under this Prospectus.

(i) Unforeseen expenditure risk

The Company may be subject to significant unforeseen expenses or actions, which may include unplanned operating expenses, future legal actions or expenses in relation to future unforeseen events. The Directors expect that the Company will have adequate working capital to carry out its stated objectives however there is the risk that additional funds may be required to fund the Company's future objectives.

(j) Climate change risks

Climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:

  • (i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
  • (ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.

(k) Infectious diseases

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.

The Company's securities prices may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.

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 Quoted Options offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Quoted Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, and any Shares issued on exercise of those Quoted Options, carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Quoted Options. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Quoted Options pursuant to this Prospectus.
