1. Details of the Offers

1.1 Entitlement Offer

The Company is making a non-renounceable pro rata offer of Shares at an issue price of $0.045 each to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of one Share for every two Shares held at 5:00pm (WST) on the Record Date, plus one free attaching New Option for every two Shares issued pursuant to this offer ( Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer will raise up to $1,084,817.

The Company has as at the date of this Prospectus 42,354,003 Shares and 33,885,329 Options on issue. On the basis that the Placement (see Section 1.2 below) is fully subscribed and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the Entitlement Offer is for a total of 24,107,052 Shares and 12,053,526 free attaching New Options (subject to rounding differences).

The market price of Shares at the date of this Prospectus is such that it is unlikely that any of the existing Options will be exercised before the Record Date.

Where the determination of the entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a Share or an attaching New Option, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share or attaching New Option.

Further details on the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares under the Entitlement Offer are contained in Section 5.2. The terms and conditions of the attaching New Options under the Offers are contained in Section 5.3.

1.2

The Shares subscribed for under the Placement are anticipated to be issued on or about Monday 20 May 2013 to these sophisticated and professional investors. The New Options attaching to these Shares form part of the Offers made under this Prospectus. Subject to meeting ASX requirements, the New Options will be listed on ASX.

The issue of the New Options under the Placement is conditional on the receipt of Shareholder approval. The Company intends to hold a general meeting on or about 17 June 2013 to seek Shareholder approval for, amongst other things, the ratification of the issue of the Shares under the Placement, and the issue of the New Options under the Placement ( General Meeting ).

By way of incentive, the Brokers may be eligible to receive up to 4,000,000 New Options ( Broker Offer ). Subject to meeting ASX requirements, the New Options will be listed on ASX.

Shortfall Offer

If you do not wish to take up your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, you are not required to take any action. If you wish to only take up part of your Entitlement, you may do so in accordance with Section 2.1(c). Any part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall and will be dealt with in accordance with this Section. In these circumstances, you will receive no benefit for the part of your Entitlement that you did not take up. Accordingly, it is important that you take action if you want to accept your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions in Section 2.1.

The offer of any Shortfall Securities is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open after the Entitlement Offer Closing Date. Shortfall Securities will be offered at an issue price of $0.045 per Share, which is the issue price at which the Entitlement Offer has been made to Eligible Shareholders, together with one free attaching New Option for every two Shares subscribed for. The Shares issued as Shortfall Securities will have the same rights as the Shares set out in Section 5.2. The terms and conditions of the attaching New Options issued as Shortfall Securities are set out in Section 5.3.

Shortfall Securities may be allocated to any Eligible Shareholder who applies for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer at the absolute discretion of the Directors and subject to compliance with the Listing Rules.

The Directors do not represent that any application to participate in the Shortfall Offer will be successful. The Company reserves the right to issue to an applicant for Shortfall Securities a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than the number applied for or reject an application or not proceed with the issuing of the Shortfall Securities or part thereof. If the number of Shortfall Securities issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on any Application Monies refunded.

If Shareholders wish to apply for Shortfall Securities they should complete the relevant section of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Refer to Section 2.1(c) for instructions as to how to apply for Shortfall Securities.

The Directors reserve the right to separately place any Shortfall which is not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer within 3 months after the Entitlement Offer Closing Date. These Shortfall Securities will be issued at the same price as offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer.

1.9

No rights trading

The rights to Securities 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.

1.10 Forms

Acceptance of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form (in the case of the Entitlement Offer) or Application Form (in the case of the Placement or Broker Offer) by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Securities accepted by the Company.

4. Risk factors

4.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.

Whilst the Directors recommend that Shareholders take up their Entitlement, there are numerous risk factors involved. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which the Securities will trade.

The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports. This summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

4.2 Specific risks associated with operations in Burkina Faso

A number of specific risk factors arising due to the Company's operations in Burkina Faso that may impact the future performance of the Company are described below. Shareholders should note that this list is not exhaustive.

(a) Sovereign risks associated with Burkina Faso

The Company’s operations in Burkina Faso are subject to the risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Burkina Faso that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company and its projects.

Burkina Faso has had a short democratic history with a series of elections, constitutions and coups.

North Africa has recently experienced elements of civil unrest and what have been described as terrorist activities and insurgencies, particularly in Mali, the country immediately to the north of Burkina Faso. No assurance can be given that such activities will not cross over the border into Burkina Faso or that

12

insurgents will not attempt to create unrest in neighbouring countries, including Burkina Faso.

The Company undertakes all recommended actions to ensure that its employees and contractors operating in Burkina Faso are kept safe from such activities and insurgencies.

While a new constitution was adopted by Burkina Faso in 1991 and the country has seen political stability since, the possibility of instability in the near future and the adoption of substantially different policies cannot be ruled out.

(b) Legal system in Burkina Faso

The legal system operating in Burkina Faso may be less developed than more established countries, which may result in risks such as political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute, a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies, the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations including, in particular, as regards local taxation and property rights, inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions, and relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in such matters.

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

Investors should note that the Burkina Faso government currently retains a 10% free carried interest in all exploitation permits, that is, permits issued to companies wishing to commence production on their tenements.

(c) Ability of the Company to renew its tenements in Burkina Faso

The Company’s mining exploration activities are dependent upon the maintenance (including renewal) of its tenements. Although the Company has no reason to think that its tenements will not be renewed, 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.

4.3 Specific risks associated with the Company's exploration operations

  • (a) Contract and joint venture risk - The Company’s primary assets are interests held pursuant to joint venture agreements. The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company may become a party, insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in its exploration activities.

13

  • (b) Status of tenements - The Company cannot guarantee that its granted exploration licences will be renewed beyond their current expiry date and there is a material risk that, in the event the Company is unable to renew the granted tenements beyond their current expiry date, the Company’s proposed interest in the projects will be relinquished. The Company also cannot guarantee that any of its applications for exploration licences will be granted.

  • (c) Exploration risk - Potential investors should understand that gold exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of acquired projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

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

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

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

  • (f) Exploration cost estimate - The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain estimates and assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially

14

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

  • (g) Title risks and Native Title - Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective state or territory's legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if license conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations, may be adversely affected.

  • (h) Additional requirements for capital - The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programs as the case may be.

  • (i) Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks - The price for gold will depend on available markets at acceptable prices and transmission and distribution costs. Any substantial decline in a commodity or an increase in transmission or distribution costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 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. Due to the Company's operations in Burkina Faso, a portion of the Company's revenue and expenditure will be domiciled in currencies other than Australian dollars and as such the Company is further exposed to foreign exchange movements, which may have a positive or negative influence on the Australian dollar equivalent of such revenue and expenditure.

  • (j) Environmental risks - The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or 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.

In this regard, the Department of Mines and Petroleum of Western Australia from time to time, reviews the environmental bonds that are placed on permits.

15

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. The Directors are also not in a position to state whether amendments to the applicable environmental laws and regulations in Burkina Faso are likely or what the likely effect of any such amendments would be.

  • (k) Insurance risks - Insurance coverage of all risks associated with minerals exploration, development and production is not always available and, where available, the cost can be high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company’s needs. The Company will not be insured against all possible losses, either because of the unavailability of cover or because the Directors believe the premiums are excessive relative to the benefits that would accrue. The Directors believe that the insurance they have in place is appropriate. The Directors will continue to review the insurance cover in place to ensure that it is adequate.

  • (l) Competition risk - The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. 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.

  • (m) Reliance on key management - The responsibility of overseeing the day-today operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance that there will not be a detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees or consultants cease their involvement with the Company.

4.4 General risks

The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.

  • (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 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 oil and gas, 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.

16

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.

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

  • (c) 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 securities.

4.5

Speculative nature of investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as an exhaustive summary 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 this Prospectus. Therefore, 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 the 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.
