PARTIALLY UNDERWRITTEN NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS OFFER

ORPHEUS ENERGY

The directors of Orpheus Energy Limited (ASX:OEG) (Orpheus or the Company) are pleased to announce a partially underwritten non-renounceable entitlement issue to raise approximately A\$1,120,000 (before costs and expenses of the offer) (Rights Offer).

Details and the timetable for the Rights Offer are set out below.

Rights Offer details

Rights Offer and price

Under the Rights Offer, eligible shareholders who hold Orpheus shares at 5.00pm AEST on the record date of 27 November 2014 (Record Date) may subscribe for one (1) fully paid ordinary share in the Company (New Share) for every three (3) ordinary shares held on the Record Date, at an issue price of A\$0.02 (2 cents) per New Share (Price).

The Price represents a:

  • $(a)$ 9% discount to Orpheus's closing price of A\$0.022 (2.2 cents) on 20 November $2014$ ; and
  • $(b)$ 23% discount to Orpheus's share price of A\$0.026 (2.6 cents) calculated based on a 3 month volume weighted average price (VWAP) ending 20 November 2014,

being the last business day before this announcement.

Underwriting and shortfall

The Directors have committed to taking up their full Entitlements under the Rights Offer in the sum of \$318,129.

Additionally, the Rights Offer is underwritten up to A\$181,871 by the Directors.

Therefore the total commitment by Directors is A\$500,000 representing approximately 45% of the total Rights Offer. \$4.00 is being charged for the underwriting.

Shareholders may apply for additional New Shares in excess of their entitlement at the same issue price of A\$0.02 (2 cents) per New Share. Allocation of additional New Shares applied for will be at the discretion of the Board of Orpheus.

The Rights Offer is being undertaken pursuant to a prospectus issued under section 713 of the Corporations Act (Prospectus). Full details of the Rights Offer can be found in the Prospectus and Appendix 3B lodged with ASX today. Orpheus anticipates that the Prospectus and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be dispatched to eligible shareholders on 25 November 2014.

Eligible shareholders

Orpheus has determined that only those shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand will be eligible to participate in the Rights Offer.

Use of funds

The capital raised from the Rights Offer will be directed towards extinguishing an Orpheus debt, relating to its coal business, working capital (which includes funds required to recover outstanding money owed to Orpheus by Mr Nugroho Suksmanto and PT Mega Coal) and to pay the costs of the Rights Offer.

Lodgement and listing

This Prospectus is dated 21 November 2014 and a copy of this Prospectus was lodged with ASIC on that date.

Orpheus will apply to the ASX for quotation of the New Shares on the ASX within seven days after the date of this Prospectus

Neither ASIC nor the ASX or their officers take any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or for the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

Notice to Applicants

The information in this Prospectus is not financial product advice and does not take into account your investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. This Prospectus should not be construed as financial, taxation, legal or other advice.

This Prospectus is important and should be read in its entirety prior to deciding whether to invest in New Shares. There are risks associated with an investment in the New Shares and the New Shares offered under this Prospectus must be regarded as a speculative investment. Some of the risks that should be considered are set out in "Risk factors" at Section 8. You should carefully consider these risks in light of your personal circumstances including financial and taxation issues. There may also be risks in addition to these that should be considered in light of your personal circumstances.

If you do not fully understand this Prospectus or are in doubt as to how to deal with it, you should seek professional guidance from your stockbroker, lawyer, accountant or other professional advisor before deciding whether to invest in the New Shares.

No person named in this Prospectus guarantees Orpheus's performance or any return on investment or any return of capital made pursuant to this Prospectus.

Overseas Shareholders

The Offer is made only to those Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand and only those Eligible Shareholders will be offered New Shares. In making this Offer to Eligible Shareholders in New Zealand, Orpheus is relying on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand), by virtue of which this Prospectus is not required to be registered in New Zealand.

Orpheus has not investigated the regulatory requirements that may prevail in any country in which the Orpheus's Shareholders may reside outside of Australia and New Zealand. 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 those restrictions. Any failure to comply with restrictions might constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

The Offer may only be accepted by Eligible Shareholders and does not constitute an offer in any place in which or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to make such an offer.

Orpheus has decided that it is unreasonable to make an Offer to Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand having regard to the number of Shareholders in those places, the number and value of the New Shares they would be offered and the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those places. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended to, and does not qualify for distribution or sale by, and no New Shares will be issued to Shareholders having registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand.

Notice to United States residents

The New Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (US Securities Act) and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the US Securities Act and applicable United States securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. In addition, any hedging transactions involving these securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the US Securities Act.

Given the Options are performance based option, these Options will not be exercisable during the period of the Offer. These Options are currently out of the money.

$3.14$ Foreign Shareholders

Orpheus has not made investigations as to the regulatory requirements that may prevail in the countries, outside of Australia and New Zealand, in which Orpheus's Shareholders reside.

Orpheus has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under this Offer Statement to Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand having regard to the small number of these Shareholders, the small number and value of the New Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in the relevant overseas jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended to, and does not qualify for distribution or sale by, and no New Shares will be issued to Shareholders having registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of New Shares in any place outside Australia and New Zealand in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus. Where the Prospectus has been dispatched to Shareholders domiciled in a place outside Australia and New Zealand, the Prospectus is provided for information purposes only. No Entitlement and Acceptance Forms will be sent to these foreign Shareholders. The distribution of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus and the accompanying Form should seek advice on and observe those restrictions. Any failure to comply with those restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

In particular, this Prospectus does not constitute an offer for sale of New Shares or any rights to a security into the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined for the purposes of the U.S. Securities Act 1933). The New Shares and rights have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act 1933 and must not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons unless they are registered under the US Securities Act 1933 or exemption from the registration required under the U.S. Securities Act 1933 is available.

By lodging a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, the applicant is taken to have warranted to and for the benefit of Orpheus that it is able to participate in the Offer without breaching any law or regulation in the applicant's jurisdiction.

In making this Offer to Eligible Shareholders in New Zealand, Orpheus is relying on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand), by virtue of which this Prospectus is not required to be registered in New Zealand.

Allocation of any Additional New Shares will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Orpheus (or their delegate for this purpose) in accordance with the following policy:

  • The Directors reserve the right, as contemplated within the Listing Rules and $(a)$ subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, to allocate any Shortfall of New Shares in their discretion in consultation with the Underwriter (which may include to subscribers for Additional New Shares) so as to ensure a maximum amount of funds is raised.

  • $(d)$ Additional New Shares will be issued at the same time as all other New Shares are issued under the Offer.

the Share Registry receives a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and a $(a)$ cheque for the full amount due in respect of the New Shares by 5:00pm (AEST) on the Closing Date of 19 December 2014, and there are sufficient funds in the

5. Company overview

$5.1$ Sale of coal assets

As detailed in the address by the Chairman at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, 2014 has been a vear of re-calibration for Orpheus. Low coal production and sales for the year. capital constraints, an unusually bad year for inclement weather, continued issues with illegal mining near Orpheus's concession border and the closure of the nearby SKJM Port for four months (and all surrounding ports) by the police, meant coal production was substantially below projections as a result of factors beyond Orpheus's control.

Recent developments in the Indonesian coal sector provided further impetus for the Board to make the decision to carefully re-evaluate Orpheus's future in the coal sector. These included:

  • $(a)$ New Government regulations require all existing miners to re-apply for export mining permits, with the intent by the Government to control the payment of all back taxes. The approval process will take time, restricting the operations of many export miners:
  • The new rules have the intention of reining in illegal operations, forcing coal miners $(b)$ to register with the central government and make royalty payments upfront before they are allowed to export, and as reported by the Indonesian Coal Mining Association, this will affect exports significantly;
  • $(c)$ The government has also announced that it will proceed with plans to cap the production of coal next year, a move aimed not only at protecting the environment but also at helping stem a decline in global coal prices;
  • Data in early September from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) showed that $(d)$ non-performing loans to the mining sector had more than doubled to 2.49 percent in June from 0.99 percent a year before, showing the impact of the downturn in prices; and
  • The ongoing lack of clarity on the process of obtaining mining licenses. $(e)$

In this environment, the Board implemented an asset rationalisation and cost reduction strategy as determined through the comprehensive strategic review of the Orpheus' asset base and cost structure in late 2013. Apart from executing an aggressive cost-reduction strategy to reduce the Company's monthly administration costs, including wholesale staff redundancies and deferred Directors' and Executives' fees and salaries, the Board looked at a number of geographically and geologically diverse potential near-term cash-flow opportunities.

On 1 July 2014, Orpheus announced it had signed agreements with Mr Nugroho Suksmanto, PT Mega Coal and related parties regarding the sale of Indonesian assets for total proceeds of approximately US\$8.2million to be effected by the sale of Orpheus's 51% equity in six entities, namely:

  • PT Daya Mega Citra and PT Daya Mega Pelita (Papua tenements); $(a)$
  • $(b)$ Pt Pelita Dian Petangi (B3);
  • $(c)$ PT Pelita Kharisma Kenanga (B4);
  • $(d)$ PT Alam Duta Kalimantan (ADK); and
  • PT Citra Bara Prima (CBP), $(e)$

(Transaction).

As required by ASX Listing Rules 11.2, Shareholders approved the Transaction by way of ordinary resolution at the General Meeting of Orpheus on 14 August 2014 on the basis that completion of the Transaction will deliver a number of key benefits to OEG Shareholders including:

  • a significant cash return to Orpheus of approximately US\$8.2 million with a total $(a)$ profit of approximately US\$3.9 million.
  • the sale of non-performing assets will allow Orpheus to consider alternative asset $(b)$ acquisition that the Directors' believe will add value to shareholders.

$5.2$ Alternative asset acquisition strategy - Gold processing technology

The sale of the non-performing coal assets has allowed the Company to progress an alternative asset acquisition strategy that the Directors believe will add value to shareholders and grow the Company. One of these projects is a potentially industry changing gold processing technology. To this end, on 31 October 2014, Orpheus announced that one of the projects being investigated by the Board is a potentially industry changing gold processing technology (Project). Orpheus has significantly progressed its due diligence and negotiations, which commenced a number of months ago, on this technology. Orpheus anticipates being in a position in the very near term to announce details of this matter to shareholders.

$5.3$ Letter received from the ASX on 7 November 2014

Given that Orpheus has no main undertaking as at the date of this Prospectus, on 7 November 2014 the ASX issued a letter to Orpheus (ASX Letter). In this ASX Letter, the ASX noted that Listing Rule 12.1 provides that the level of Orpheus's operations must, in ASX's opinion, be sufficient to warrant the continue quotation of Orpheus's securities and its continued listing.

The ASX further stipulated in the ASX Letter that if Orpheus proposes to enter into any transactions it must consult with the ASX so that the ASX may consider the application of Listing Rule 11.1 (proposed change to nature or scale of activities) and in particular Listing Rule 11.1.3 (which allows the ASX to require an entity to meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the entity were applying for admission to the Official List of the ASX.

The ASX noted in the ASX Letter that it will afford Orpheus a period of 6 months from the date of the ASX Letter to demonstrate to the ASX that it is compliant with Listing Rule 12.1. If Orpheus does not demonstrate compliance with this Listing Rule the ASX's satisfaction by 7 June 2015, the ASX may suspend Orpheus's securities from official quotation,

Orpheus will make a further announcement to the market in the very near term in regards to the Project. In regards to the ASX Letter, Orpheus will consult with the ASX and ensure the market is advised at all times in regards to progress with the Project, Listing Rule 11.1 implications and requirements of the ASX and its progress in demonstrating compliance with Listing Rule 12.1.

$5.4$ Debt recovery

Collections of the US\$8.2million as a result of the sale of Orpheus's 51% equity in the 6 entities listed in Section 5.1 have been slow. To date only US\$965,853 has been paid leaving an outstanding balance of US\$7,234,147 Consequently, consultation with Orpheus's Indonesian legal advisors, Orpheus extracted a personal legal undertaking from Mr Nugroho Suksmanto, majority owner of PT Mega Cola Group and related parties, whereby Mr Suksmanto personally committed to settle all outstanding debts by Mr Suksmanto, PT Mega Coal and related parties, and to indemnify Orpheus and related

parties against cost, loss or liability, suffered by Orpheus or related parties in the case of a breach of the project sales agreements.

The Orpheus Board has initiated action to expedite the recovery of outstanding monies owed by Mr Suksmanto and PT Mega Coal and Orpheus will keep shareholders updated.

Refer to Sections 5.1 and 5.4 for further detail on this liability. **Costs of the Offer include the Underwriter's fees, legal fees, administrative expenses, ASX fees, ASIC fees and Share Registry fees. Refer to Section 9.15 for further details of the estimated expenses of the Offer.

In the event that circumstances change or other opportunities arise, the Directors reserve the right to vary the proposed use of funds to maximise benefits to Shareholders.

In the event Shareholders do not take up the Entitlement, the Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Entitlements Offer, subject to the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable law. However, there is no guarantee that investors will be able to be identified. If Orpheus is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

$6.2$ Effect of the Offer

To illustrate the effect of the Offer on Orpheus, the pro-forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared based on the audited Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2014. The pro-forma assumes that the Offer is fully subscribed.

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the pro-forma consolidated balance sheet are consistent with the policies adopted and as described in Orpheus's financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.

The significant effects of the Offer (assuming the Offer is fully subscribed) will be to:

  • increase cash reserves by approximately \$1.080 million (after cash expenses of the $(a)$ Offer which are estimated to be \$41,000).
  • increase the number of Shares by 56,085,423 to 224,341,694, assuming a \$0.02 $(b)$ per New Share subscription price.

If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up their Entitlement in full it will result in their percentage holding in Orpheus being diluted by the Offer.

The financial information has been prepared by management and adopted by the Board. The Board is responsible for the inclusion of all financial information in the Prospectus.

The historical and pro-forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of Australian Accounting Standards and Orpheus's significant accounting policies.

$7.3$ Potential effect of the Offer on control

The Offer is a pro-rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements and none of the Option holders exercise their existing options and participate in the Offer, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Offer on the control of Orpheus.

However, the proportional shareholdings of Shareholders who are not resident in Australia or New Zealand may be diluted as those Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Offer. Additionally, if an Eligible Shareholder does not take up their Entitlement in full, there may be a dilutionary effect on that Shareholder's proportional shareholdings.

The Offer is partially underwritten by the Directors. Details of the Underwriting Agreement are contained in Section 9.10.

Depending on the take up of the Offer by existing Shareholders, the shareholding percentage of Directors in Orpheus may increase from 28.36% to a maximum, as a result of the Offer, of 35.15% under Scenario 2 below.

The following tables set out the voting power in Orpheus's Shares for the Directors under various scenarios of take-up of Entitiement and under the Underwriting Agreement.

Scenario 1 - 100% take up

Under Scenario 1, all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer and the Offer is fully subscribed. In this case, the Directors would maintain their existing interest in Orpheus.

Orpheus understands that, should the Directors holding increase upon completion of the Offer, its present intentions are to procure that Orpheus will:

  • $(a)$ generally continue the business of Orpheus;
  • $(b)$ not make any material changes to the business of Orpheus; and
  • continue the employment of Orpheus's present employees. $(c)$

$7.4$ *Takeovers provisions

Orpheus understands that Directors intend to rely on the "underwriting of fundraising" exception to section 606 of the Corporations Act (which prohibits certain acquisitions of relevant interests in a company's voting shares) in the event that their voting power in Orpheus increases as outlined above. In any event, the Directors will ensure their relevant interests in Orpheus's voting shares do not exceed 19.99% of all of the Shares in Orpheus after completion of the Offer.

Risk factors 8.

$8.1$ Introduction

There are risks which may impact on the operating and financial performance of Orpheus and, therefore, on the value of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus. Some of these risks can be mitigated by Orpheus's systems and internal controls, but many are outside of the control of Orpheus and the Board. There can be no guarantee that Orpheus will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward-looking statements will eventuate. An investment in a business with limited operating history, such as Orpheus, is considered highly speculative and an investor could lose most or all of any investment. There are also general risks associated with any investment in shares.

More specifically, the risks are that:

  • $(a)$ the price at which the applicant is able to sell the New Shares is less than the price paid due to changes in market circumstances;
  • $(b)$ the applicant is unable to sell the New Shares;
  • Orpheus is placed in receivership or liquidation making it reasonably foreseeable $(c)$ that Shareholders could receive none, or only some of their initial investment; and
  • $(d)$ Orpheus fails to generate sufficient profit in order to pay dividends.

In the event of insolvency, the holders of fully paid ordinary Shares would not normally be liable to pay money to any person. An exception could occur where a distribution, such as a dividend, has been made to Shareholders in circumstances where Orpheus was unable at that time to meet the solvency test set out in the Corporations Act. In that case, a liquidator may call for a return of such distributions.

Potential investors should therefore carefully consider all associated risks before applying for New Shares under this Prospectus and should consider their personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek advice from their stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other professional advisers before deciding whether to invest.

A number of material risk factors which may adversely affect Orpheus and the value of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus are set out in this Section. This is not an exhaustive list and there may be other factors which have an adverse effect on Orpheus and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

8.2 Risks

Risk from no current main undertaking $(a)$

As at the date of this Prospectus, Orpheus has no main undertaking.

In a letter issued by the ASX on 7 November 2014, the ASX stipulated that if Orpheus proposes to enter into any transactions it must consult with the ASX so that the ASX may consider the application of Listing Rule 11.1 (proposed change to nature or scale of activities) and in particular Listing Rule 11.1.3 (which allows the ASX to require an entity to meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the entity were applying for admission to the Official List of the ASX).

Consequently there is a risk that the acquisition of a new main undertaking will require Orpheus Shareholder approval or Orpheus to meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the entity were applying for admission to the Official List of the ASX, i.e. like a back-door listing. In the event Orpheus is

required to meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and is not successful Orpheus will be delisted from the ASX. In the event Orpheus Shareholder approval is not forthcoming, Orpheus will need to identify a new main undertaking.

Listing Rule 12.1 provides that the level of Orpheus's operations must, in ASX's opinion, be sufficient to warrant the continue quotation of Orpheus's securities and its continued listing.

The ASX has advised that it will afford Orpheus a period ending on 7 June 2015 to demonstrate to the ASX that it is compliant with Listing Rule 12.1.

Consequently there is a risk that if Orpheus does not demonstrate compliance with this Listing Rule to the ASX's satisfaction by 7 June 2015, the ASX may suspend Orpheus's securities from official quotation. This could result in Orpheus being delisted.

Orpheus has progressed its due diligence and negotiations, which commenced a number of months ago, on this technology. Orpheus anticipates being in a position in the very near term to announce details of this matter to shareholders. On this matter, Orpheus is currently in discussions with the ASX in regards to the application of Listing Rule 11.1.

Debt owed to PT Baraindo $(b)$

Orpheus owes PT Baraindo of \$850,000.

As disclosed in Section 6.1, receipt of funds equal to the Underwritten Amount underwritten by the Directors and the Directors taking up their full Entitlement will not provide sufficient funds to enable Orpheus to extinguish the debt of \$850,000 owed to PT Baraindo (in the event no funds are received from Mr Nugroho Suksmanto and PT Mega Coal pursuant to the terms of the sales agreements signed on 1 July 2014) and Orpheus will require additional funding. The Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Entitlements Offer, subject to the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable law. However, there is no guarantee that investors will be able to be identified. If Orpheus is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

Litigation against Mr Nugroho Suksmanto and PT Mega Coal $(c)$

Suksmanto and PT Mega Coal owe Orpheus US\$7,234,147.

As detailed in Section 5.4, the Orpheus Board has initiated action to expedite the recovery of outstanding monies owed by Mr Suksmanto and PT Mega Coal and Orpheus will keep shareholders updated. To this end, on 13 November 2014 Orpheus issued 17 notices to Mr Suksmanto and the Mega Coal Group for the payment of the balance amount owing. In the event the balance remains unpaid, Orpheus has clearly indicated in the notices that it will commence legal proceedings in Indonesia against Mega Coal Group and/or their managements (both civil and criminal), including but not limited to filing (i) a petition for declaration of bankruptcy; (ii) a notice of arbitration and/or (iii) a police report, in accordance with the prevailing laws and regulations. Such litigation may provide time consuming and costly. To this end, however, Orpheus has allocated part of the proceeds of the Offer allocated to 'working capital' to meet such costs.

Industry downturn $(d)$

Orpheus's possible future financial performance will be sensitive to the level of demand within the gold industry. The level of activity in the industry can be cyclical and sensitive to a number of factors beyond the control of Orpheus. In addition,

Orpheus may not be able to predict the timing, extent or duration of the activity cycles in the industry.

$(e)$ Environment risks

Orpheus's future operations are likely to be subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters, including the discharge of any hazardous wastes or materials. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality and provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to remediate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Significant liability could be imposed on Orpheus or any of its subsidiaries for damages, clean-up costs, or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. Orpheus proposes to minimise this possible risk by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and accepted industrial practices.

$(f)$ Changes in commodity price

Orpheus's possible future revenues will likely be derived mainly from the sale of resources or commodities and products derived from tenements. Consequently, Orpheus's potential future earnings could be closely related to the price of these commodities. Gold prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous industry factors including demand for forward selling producers, production cost levels in major producing regions and macroeconomic factors, eg. inflation, interest rates and currency exchange rates. If the market price of derivatives sold by Orpheus were to fall below the costs of production and remain at such a level for any sustained period, Orpheus would experience losses and could have to limit or suspend some or all of its proposed mining activities. In such circumstances, Orpheus would also have to assess the economic impact of any sustained lower commodity prices on recoverability.

Unforeseen expenditure risk $(g)$

There is a risk that there may be an unforseen increase in costs for the items of the use of funds as set out in this Prospectus. Any increase in the actual costs may impact Orpheus's ability to fully undertake the work that it proposes to undertake as set out in this Prospectus.

$(h)$ Insurance

Orpheus'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 Orpheus.

$(i)$ Economic

The financial performance and value of Orpheus may be influenced by various economic factors such as commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, domestic and international economic growth, taxation policies, legislative change, political stability, stock market conditions in Australia and elsewhere, changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors, exchange rate fluctuations and acts of terrorism.

Market $(i)$

The market price of Orpheus's securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, mining and mining services stocks, which may be unrelated to the operating

performances of such companies. Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Neither Orpheus nor the Directors warrant the future performance of Orpheus or any return on an investment in Orpheus.

Future capital requirements $(k)$

While the Directors believe that Orpheus will have sufficient funds to fund its activities in the short term, there can be no assurance that Orpheus will not seek to exploit business opportunities of a kind which will require it to raise additional funding from equity or debt sources. There can be no assurance that Orpheus will be able to raise such funding on favourable terms or at all.

Any additional equity raising may dilute the interest of Shareholders and any debt financing may involve financial covenants which limit Orpheus's operations. If Orpheus is unable to obtain such additional funding, Orpheus may be required to reduce the scope of any expansion, which could adversely affect its financial performance.

$(1)$ Reliance on key personnel and employees

Orpheus's prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management's discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

To manage its operations and future growth. Orpheus needs to retain its existing key personnel and may need to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, corporate and operational personnel. The loss of key personnel, or the failure to recruit high calibre additional personnel, could have a materially adverse effect on Orpheus.

$(m)$ Liquidity and realisation

There can be no quarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be a relatively limited number of buyers, or a relatively large number of sellers, on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less than the price paid for their Shares.

$(n)$ Changes in government policies and legislation

Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia or any other country where Orpheus may acquire economic interests may affect the viability and profitability of Orpheus.

The above list of risk factors is not an exhaustive list of the risks relevant to Orpheus. These risks (and others not specifically referred to above) may materially affect the financial performance of Orpheus and the value of its Shares.

$9.$ Additional information

  • set out in the Constitution of Orpheus; and $(a)$
  • $(b)$ in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules (formerly the ASTC Settlement Rules) and the general law.

The following is a broad summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to all Shares including New Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

Voting

At a general meeting of Orpheus on a show of hands, every member present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote and upon a poll, every member present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every Share held by them.

Dividends

The Shares will rank equally with all other issued Shares in the capital of Orpheus and will participate in dividends out of profits earned by Orpheus from time to time. Subject to the rights of holders of Shares of any special preferential or qualified rights attaching thereto, the profits of Orpheus are divisible amongst the holders of Shares in proportion to the Shares held by them irrespective of the amount paid up or credited as paid up thereon. The

Directors may from time to time pay to Shareholders such interim dividends as in their judgement the position of Orpheus justifies.

Winding up

Upon paying the application monies, Shareholders will have no further liability to make payments to Orpheus in the event of Orpheus being wound up pursuant to the provisions of the Corporations Act.

Transfer of securities
