Important information for New Zealand investors

This Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act and regulations made under that Act. In New Zealand, this is subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 .

This Offer and the content of the offer document are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act and the regulations made under that Act set out how the offer must be made.

There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.

The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.

Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to this offer. If you need to make a complaint about this offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz). The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.

The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products.

The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.

If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

Currency

Unless otherwise stated, the currency referred to in this Prospectus is Australian dollars.

B. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

1 September 2015

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you, as a valued Shareholder of Silver Mines Limited ACN 107 452 942 ( SVL or the Company ), to participate in a 4-for-1 fully underwritten renounceable pro rata rights issue to subscribe for new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.001 per New Share with attaching free options offered on the basis of 1 New Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for. Each New Option will be exercisable for 1 Share at $0.003 and will expire on 13 October 2017. The Company will also apply to the ASX for these New Shares and New Options to be quoted.

Before the date of the issue of securities under the Rights Issue, the Company also proposes to seek shareholder approval for a placement of approximately 947,000,000 Shares and approximately 428,500,000 options which will include the issue of shares and options to related parties. The subscription monies for the placement shares will be offset against outstanding directors' fees owing to directors of the Company and loans owed by the Company to various parties and is thereby intended to reduce the liabilities of the Company. Please refer to section 3.6 for further information.

The Company will also issue 225,000,000 shares to Ochre Group Holdings Limited for the consultancy services in relation to the Conrad Silvers Project. These shares will only be issued once the acquisition of the Conrad Silver Project is complete and the subscription monies payable upon exercise will be offset against the consultancy fee. The Company is also seeking shareholder approval in relation to the issue of these shares. Please refer to section 3.6 for further information.

The Company has been active in managing its wholly owned Webbs silver project as well as evaluating and pursuing other opportunities in the silver sector. To this end, the Board was very pleased to be in a position to announce the transaction recently entered into with Malachite Resources Limited, whereby the Company has exercised its option to purchase the Conrad Silver Project. This transaction was announced to ASX on 11 May 2015. On or about 31 August 2015, the Company entered into a binding Heads of Agreement to update the payment terms of the acquisition. Please refer to section 2.3 for further information.

On 22 July 2015, the Company also entered into a binding Heads of Agreement whereby the Company agreed to provide funding to White Rock Minerals Limited with a view to work towards a possible merger, acquisition or other combination of the parties' businesses. On 30 August 2015, the Company and White Rock Minerals Limited updated funding terms of the arrangement. Please refer to section 2.5 for further information.

Additionally, the Company recently applied for Exploration Licenses surrounding the large-scale Bowden silver project. The Company is of the opinion that significant potential for further silver mineralisation exists surrounding Bowden and looks forward to advancing its tenement holding in the area when and if the Exploration Licenses are granted.

Future direction

While the market for junior exploration companies remains exceedingly tough, the Company is confident in its ability to execute a strategy to accumulate significant silver assets on very attractive pricing structures. The price of silver is currently trading near multi-year lows, however the Board remains of the opinion that there are sufficient factors to provide encouragement that the price of silver will recover in the years to come.

Page 9 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

In the light of this belief, the Company remains firmly committed to its strategy of acquiring silver projects and moving them towards development in anticipation of higher silver prices. The Board believes that successful execution of this strategy will leave SVL in a unique position as one of only a handful of 'pure-play' silver companies on ASX.

It is proposed that the net proceeds raised under the Rights Issue will be used to execute the abovementioned strategy, settle the purchase of the Conrad Silver Project, make an investment in White Rock Minerals Limited, pursue further silver opportunities, reduce debt, pay creditors, meet the expenses of this Rights Issue, and provide working capital.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by DJ Carmichael Pty Limited and Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd on the terms and conditions of the respective Underwriting Agreements with each party. Each Underwriter will underwrite their Respective Proportions. DJ Carmichael Pty Limited is underwriting to a maximum of $2,050,000 and Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd is underwriting to a maximum of $721,771.

I encourage you to read this Prospectus carefully before deciding whether to participate in the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue will substantially reduce a Shareholder's interest in the Company if they do not take up their Right under the Rights Issue. As the Rights Issue is renounceable, Shareholders may be able to sell their Right to the extent they choose not to take them up.

Only Eligible Shareholders are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue. Furthermore, and to satisfy applicable Listing Rule requirements, the Company expects to appoint a nominee and will issue that nominee with the rights to subscribe for New Shares and New Options that would otherwise have been available for subscription by Ineligible Shareholders. The nominee will arrange for the sale of those rights to certain institutional investors before the Closing Date and will work with the Company to distribute any Premium (net of expenses and withholdings required by law) proportionately to Ineligible Shareholders.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to take up all or part of your Right, please:

  • (a) use the BPAY® facility as outlined in the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form; or

  • (b) forward the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with your cheque or bank draft for the amount shown on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form in the reply paid envelope to reach the Company’s Share Registry, so that it is received by no later than 5pm AEST on the Closing Date, 6 October, 2015, or such later date as the Directors determine.

Refer to section 6 for further information.

Shareholders should also consider the specific risks and general factors relating to the investment set out in section 5.

Accompanying this Prospectus is a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which contains details of your Right. If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to accept your Right under this Rights Issue, you must complete the attached personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and return it together with the requisite application monies to the Company’s Share Registry before 5pm (AEST) on the Closing Date of 6 October, 2015.

Further information on the Rights Issue and the Company's business is detailed in this Prospectus. If there is any matter on which you require further information, you should consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant, and/or other professional advisor as you see fit.

We also encourage you to contact Vaz Hovanessian, Company Secretary on +61 2 8188 2556 for further information.

4.4 Dilutionary impact

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Underwriters and accordingly all New Shares and New Options offered under the Rights Issue will be taken up. On this basis, if an Eligible Shareholder takes up their full Right under the Rights Issue, their percentage interest in the Company will only be reduced to the extent of the Underwriter Shares issued to the Underwriters in part consideration for the underwriting. If a Shareholder does not take up their Right under the Rights Issue or is otherwise not eligible to participate in the Rights Issue, the Shareholder's interest in the Company will be reduced by 85.14%.

If, however, the placements are approved by Shareholders such that the Company issues an additional 947,000,000 Placement Shares, 428,500,000 Placement Options and 225,000,000 Ochre Placement Shares, then Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Right under the Rights Issue, but do not participate in the Placement and Ochre Placement, their interest in the Company will be reduced up to a maximum of 25.68%.

4.5 Effect on control

(a) Substantial Shareholders

There are no substantial shareholders of the Company who hold more than 5% of the voting power of the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not expect that the Rights Issue will have a material effect on the control of the Company.

(b) Underwriters

Other than the Underwriters, no person is permitted to increase its voting power in the Company from a starting point below 20% to more than 20% or from a starting point above 20% and below 90% as a result of this Rights Issue.

DJ Carmichael Pty Limited and Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd have each agreed with the Company to underwrite a portion of the Rights Issue in their Respective Proportion. A summary of the underwriting agreements (which are in substantially identical form) is set out in section 7.7 .

DJ Carmichael Pty Limited has agreed to underwrite the Rights Issue up to a maximum amount of approximately $2,050,000 of any shortfall on the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. In addition to a cash fee, DJ Carmichael Pty Limited will be issued 25,000,000 New Shares and 150,000,000 New Options in consideration for underwriting and managing the Rights Issue.

DJ Carmichael Pty Limited does not hold any securities in the Company and there are no other agreements or arrangements which it has with respect to the securities in the Company. Neither DJ Carmichael Pty Limited nor any of its associates will participate in the Placement or Ochre Placement.

Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd has agreed to underwrite the Rights Issue up to an amount of approximately $721,771 of any shortfall on the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

Raxigi Pty Ltd is the ultimate holding company of Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd. Vaz Hovanessian, the Company's company secretary, is the sole director and company secretary of Raxigi Pty Ltd. Vaz Hovanessian is an associate of Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd as he is also the director and company secretary of Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd.

As a result of the underwriting arrangements, each of DJ Carmichael Pty Ltd's and Fern Street Partners Pty Ltd's voting power in the Company may increase above 20%. Relevantly, the Underwriters' voting power in the Company may increase above 20% in reliance on the underwriting exception in section 611(item 13) of the Corporations Act.

5. RISK FACTORS

5.1 Introduction

Any investment carried out under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Due to the nature of the Company’s business activities and mineral exploration interests, increasing your investment in the Company carries with it risks reasonably expected of an investment in a business of this type. Prospective investors should read the whole Prospectus, consider the risk factors described within it and all other relevant material including our public announcements. If Eligible Shareholders are in any doubt, or require clarification or further additional information, they should contact their stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other professional adviser.

Additional risks are detailed below. These risk factors described below should not to be taken as being exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or an investment in the Company. The risk factors described below, and others not specifically referred to below, may, in the future, affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of an investment in the Company.

5.2 Specific Risks

In addition to the general market and economic risks noted in Section 5.3, investors should be aware of the risks specific to an investment in the Company. The major risks are described below:

Dilution Risk

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Underwriters and accordingly all New Shares and New Options offered under the Rights Issue will be taken up. On this basis, if an Eligible Shareholder takes up their full Right under the Rights Issue, their percentage interest in the Company will only be reduced to the extent of the Underwriter Shares paid to the Underwriters in part consideration for the underwriting. If a Shareholder does not take up their Right under the Offer or is otherwise not eligible to participate in the Offer, the Shareholder's interest in the Company will be reduced by 85.14%.

If, however, the Placement and Ochre Placement is approved by Shareholders such that the Company issues an additional 947,000,000 Placement Shares, 428,500,000 Placement Options and 225,000,000 Ochre Placement Shares, then Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Right under the Rights Issue, but do not participate in the Placement and Ochre Placement, their interest in the Company will be reduced by up to a maximum of 25.68%.

Changes in commodity price

In the event that the Company proceeds to a production scenario, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price risks. Commodity prices (including for silver) fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for commodities, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Operational risk

If the Company decides to develop and commission a mine, the operations of the Company including mining and processing may be affected by a range of factors. These include failure to achieve predicted grade in exploration, mining and processing, technical difficulties encountered in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure, metallurgical problems which affect extraction rates and costs, adverse or seasonal weather conditions, adverse geological conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increase in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment and inability to obtain or maintain any necessary consents or approvals.

Page 36 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Financing

The Company's ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds in the future. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures.

The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

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

Mineral resources estimates risk

Mineral 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.

Native Title risks

Both the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), related State Native Title legislation and Aboriginal land rights and Aboriginal heritage legislation may affect the Company’s ability to gain access to prospective exploration areas or obtain production titles. Compensatory obligations may be necessary in settling Native Title claims if lodged over any tenements acquired by the Company.

In New South Wales, the Native Title legislation imposes a duty of care which requires persons, including the Company, to take all reasonable and practical measures to avoid damaging or destroying Aboriginal cultural heritage. This obligation applies across the State and requires the Company to develop suitable internal procedures to discharge its duty of care in order to avoid exposure to substantial financial penalties if its activities damage items of cultural significance. Under this legislation, indigenous people can exercise control over land with respect to cultural heritage without necessarily having established the connection element (as required under native title law). This creates a potential risk that the tenement holder may have to deal with several indigenous individuals or corporations, where no native title has been established, to identify and manage cultural heritage issues. This could result in tenement holders requiring lengthy lead times to manage cultural heritage for their projects.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company has a small team of executives, consultants and senior personnel. It is possible that the estimated timing and cost of the Company’s future exploration plans could be dramatically influenced by the loss of existing key personnel or by the failure to retain additional key personnel as the Company’s exploration program develops. The resulting impact from such loss would be dependent upon the quality and timing of the employee’s replacement.

Although the key personnel of the Company have a considerable amount of experience and have previously been successful in their pursuits of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral projects, there is no guarantee or assurance that they will be successful in their objectives pursuant to this Prospectus.

Page 37 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Liquidity and volatility

The Company is a small company in terms of market capitalization with a relatively limited number of shareholders. As a consequence, there may be relatively few buyers or sellers of securities on the ASX at any given time and the market price may be highly volatile (particularly in times of share market turbulence or negative investor sentiment). This may present difficulties for shareholders seeking to liquidate their holdings.

Exploration risk

There can be no guarantee that planned exploration programs will lead to positive exploration results and the discovery of a commercial deposit or further, a commercial mining operation. By its nature the business of mineral exploration, which the Company will be undertaking, contains risks. For its part, exploration is a speculative endeavour and can be hampered by the unpredictable nature of mineral deposits, particularly with respect to predicted extrapolations to depth from known mineralisation, poor drilling techniques, incorrect grade estimates, unforeseen and adverse ground conditions, flooding, inclement weather, poor equipment availability, force majeure circumstances and cost overruns from unforeseen events. Resource estimates themselves are necessarily imprecise and depend upon interpretations that can prove to be inaccurate. Any future successful mining operation will depend on exploration success, mineral resource calculations, appropriate economic circumstances, ore reserve calculations, successful statutory planning approvals, mine design and the construction of efficient processing facilities, competent operation and management and efficient financial management.

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, 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 exploration licences, and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of tenements.

Environmental risk

The Company’s operations and projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. 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 the Company for damages, clean up costs, or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of property acquired by the Company or its subsidiaries, or non compliance with environmental laws or regulations.

Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires, may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.

Page 38 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

The Company proposes to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and where possible, by carrying appropriate insurance coverage.

Contractual risks

As in any contractual relationship, the ability for the Company to ultimately be registered as a holder of an interest in the tenements is dependent upon the relevant vendor complying with its contractual obligations to deliver title. To the extent that such third parties default in their obligations under the option contracts, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a Court to seek a legal remedy. Such legal action may be costly and no guarantee can be given by the Company that a legal remedy will ultimately be granted on appropriate terms.

Land access risk

Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed. In all cases the acquisition of prospective tenements is a competitive business, in which propriety knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential.

Regulatory Risk

The Company’s mining operations, exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the tenements.

Government policy

The availability and rights to explore and mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy that are beyond the control of the Company. The New South Wales Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy conducts reviews from time to time of policies in connection with the granting and administration of mining tenements. At present the Company is not aware of any proposed changes to policy that would affect its tenements.

Changing attitudes to environmental, land care, cultural heritage and indigenous land rights’ issues, together with the nature of the political process, provide the possibility for future policy changes. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company’s exploration plans or, indeed, its rights and/or obligations with respect to the tenements.

Title

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective State Government legislation and are evidenced by the granting of tenements through the issuing of a lease or licence. Each lease or licence 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

Page 39 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

interests in, tenements if licence conditions are not met or if sufficient funds are not available to meet expenditure commitments.

Any failure to comply with the expenditure conditions, or with the other conditions of the mining lease (ML) or the exploration licences (ELs) expose the licence to forfeiture. In the event that the Company is successful in the discovery of an economic body of mineralisation within any EL, the Company will have the right to apply for a mining lease. Such tenements will only be granted on the terms and conditions that the relevant Minister considers appropriate. Once granted, such leases are liable to forfeiture on breach of any conditions.

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, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

Competition

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Some of the competing companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. While 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. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with these companies.

5.3 General Risks

A summary of the major general risks are described below:

Share market risk

There are a number of factors (both domestic and international) that may affect the share market price and neither the Company nor its Directors may have control over such factors. The market price of securities can be expected to rise and fall in accordance with general market conditions and factors specifically affecting the Australian resources sector and exploration companies in particular.

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

General economic conditions

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that economic climate include the general level of economic activity, interest rates, inflation, supply and demand, industrial disruption, investor sentiment toward particular market sectors, terrorism or other hostilities and other economic factors. The price of commodities and level of activity within the mining industry will also be of particular relevance to the Company. These factors are beyond the control of the Company and the Company cannot, with any degree of certainty, predict how they will impact the Company.

Legislative change

Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance or the current and proposed operations generally of the Company.

Exchange rate risk

The revenues, earnings, assets and liabilities of the Company may be exposed adversely to exchange rate fluctuation. Whilst the Company currently raises all of its funds in Australian dollars and all

Page 40 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

services are paid for in Australian dollars, commodities are frequently traded in USD on international markets. As such in a production off-take scenario, the Company in the future may be exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.

Industrial risk

Industrial disruptions, work stoppages, safety issues and accidents in the course of the Company’s operations could result in losses and delays, which may adversely affect profitability.

No profits to date

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

Investment risk

The New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business. There is no guarantee as to payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the New Shares. In particular, the prices at which an investor may be able to trade New Shares may be above or below the price paid for them.

Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

Insurance

The Company intends to adequately insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or only partially covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

Further, insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available. Further, where coverage is available, the costs may be prohibitive.

Other

Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non-insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk and other matters that may interfere with the business or trade of the Company.

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 shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.

Page 41 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

5.4 Additional risks associated with the Options

Value of the New Options

The New Options that are issued as part of the Rights Issue are issued for no additional consideration but require the exercise price of $0.003 to be paid at the time of exercise. If the prevailing trading price of the Company's Shares during the New Option exercise period is lower than the exercise price of the New Options, then it is likely that the New Options will not be exercised. In this case, for investors, the unexercised New Options will not have value and will lapse on the New Option expiry date of 13 October, 2017.

If the New Options are not exercised, or only some of the New Options are exercised, then the Company may not receive the proceeds that would otherwise be generated if the New Options were exercised and holders paid the exercise price.

Liquidity

Although the New Options are proposed to be quoted on the ASX, there can be no guarantee that there will be a liquid market for trading of the New Options.

Quotation

The Company will apply for quotation of the New Options on the ASX within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus. If Eligible Shareholders do not take up their Rights under the Rights Issue there may not be a sufficient number of holders of New Options to satisfy ASX's quotation requirements and quotation may not be granted.

6. HOW TO APPLY

6.1 What Eligible Shareholders may do

Eligible Shareholders may accept their Right either in whole or in part.

The number of New Shares and New Options to which you are entitled is shown in the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

In determining Rights, any fractional right will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may participate in the Rights Issue as follows:

  • (a) take up all or part of your Right (and renounce the balance) (see section 6.2(a) below);

  • (b) sell all or part of your Right:

  • (i) on ASX; or

  • (ii) by transferring it directly to another person; or

  • (c) do nothing, in which case you will be deemed to have renounced your Right (see section 6.2(d) below).

6.2 How to participate

  • (a) If you decide to take up all or part of your Right

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to take up all or part of your Right, please:

  • (i) use the BPAY® facility as outlined in the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form; or

  • (ii) forward the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with your cheque or bank draft for the amount shown on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form in the reply paid envelope to reach the Company’s Share Registry, so that it is received by no later than 5pm AEST on the Closing Date, Tuesday, 6 October 2015, or such later date as the Directors determine.

The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares (and New Options) as your payment will pay for in full up to your full Right.

If you take up and pay for all of your Right, before the close of the Rights Issue, you will be issued your New Shares and New Options on Tuesday, 13 October 2015.

Any surplus Application Monies received for more than your Right will be refunded after the close of the Rights Issue on or around 15 October 2015 (except for where the amount is less than $2.00, in which case it will be donated to a charity chosen by the Company). No interest will be paid to Eligible Shareholders on any Application Monies received or returned (wholly or partially).

The Company also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders if their claims prove to be incorrect or overstated or if they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

To participate in the Rights Issue, your payment must be received no later than the close of the Rights Issue, being 5pm (AEST) on 6 October 2015. Eligible Shareholders who wish to pay via cheque, bank draft or money order will need to also ensure that their completed

Page 43 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form is also received by that time using the reply paid envelope provided with this Prospectus or otherwise.

(b) If you decide to sell all or part of your Right on ASX

If you decide to sell all or part of your Right on ASX, you should instruct your stockbroker and provide details as requested from your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You should allow sufficient time for your instructions to be carried out by your stockbroker.

Rights trading on ASX is expected to start at 10am (AEST time) on 3 September 2015 (ASX code: SVL) and ceases at 4pm (AEST time) on 28 September 2015.

Prices obtainable for Rights may rise and fall over the Rights Trading Period and will depend on many factors including the demand for and supply of Rights on ASX and the value of Shares relative to the Issue Price. If you sell your Right in the Rights Trading Period, you may receive a higher or lower amount than a shareholder who sells their Right at a different time in the Rights Trading Period. You may incur brokerage costs if you choose to sell your Right on ASX. There is no guarantee that there will be a liquid market in traded Rights. A lack of liquidity may impact your ability to sell your Right on ASX and the price you may be able to achieve.

The Company assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to you if you trade your Right before the Rights are issued, or before you receive your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company or the Share Registry or otherwise.

If you wish to sell part of your Right on ASX and renounce the balance, follow the procedures above in respect of the part of your Right you wish to sell on ASX, and do nothing in respect of the balance.

(c) If you wish to transfer all or part of your Right other than on ASX

If you wish to transfer all or part of your Right other than on ASX, you must forward a completed Renunciation and Transfer Form together with the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and the transferee’s Application Monies to the Share Registry in relation to the part of your Right that you wish to transfer.

If you hold issuer sponsored securities, you can obtain a Renunciation and Transfer Form by contacting the Share Registry on (02) 9290 9600 (within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9600 (from outside Australia) at any time from 9.00am to 5.00pm (AEST) Monday to Friday during the Rights Trading Period. The Renunciation and Transfer Form together with Application Monies and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be received by the Share Registry at the mail or hand delivery address in section 6.3 no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on 6 October 2015. If the Share Registry receives both a completed Renunciation and Transfer Form and an application for New Shares in respect of the same Right, the transfer will be given effect in priority to the application.

If you hold broker / CHESS sponsored securities, you should request a Renunciation and Transfer Form from your stockbroker.

If you wish to transfer part of your Right and renounce the balance, follow the procedures above in respect of the part of your Right you wish to transfer, and do nothing in respect of the balance.

Prices obtainable for Rights other than on the ASX will likely differ from those quoted on ASX from time to time over the Rights Trading Period. If you sell your Rights in the Rights Trading Period other than on the ASX, you may receive a higher or lower amount compared to a

Page 44 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Shareholder who sells their Rights on the ASX or at a different time in the Rights Trading Period on ASX.

If you sell your Right, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares and New Options had you taken up that Right. Your percentage shareholding in the Company will also be reduced.

You may only transfer your Right in this way to a purchaser whose address is in Australia or New Zealand, or otherwise qualify as an 'Eligible Person' . Persons in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States will not be eligible to purchase Rights on the ASX or take up Rights purchased on the ASX or otherwise. You should inform any transferee of these restrictions.

(d) Do Nothing

You may do nothing, in which case you will be deemed to have renounced your Right.

You should also note that, if you do not take up your Right, then although you will continue to own the same number of Shares, your percentage shareholding in the Company will decrease. See section 4.4 regarding the reduction of the percentage of your shareholding in the Company.

6.3 Payment methods

Payment will only be accepted in Australian currency and cheques, bank drafts, money orders and BPAY® payments must be drawn on an Australian bank.

(a) Payment by cheque/bank draft

Cheques and bank drafts, in Australian currency, should be made payable to “Silver Mines Limited” and crossed “not negotiable”. You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the Application Money. If the amount of your cheque for Application Money is insufficient to pay in full for the number of whole New Securities for which you have applied in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Securities which equates to your cleared Application Money (and to have that number of New Securities on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form). If your cheque does not clear due to insufficient funds in your account, your Application will be rejected.

(b) BPAY®

If you intend to pay for the New Securities by BPAY®, there is no need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form (but you must ensure that your payment is received by no later than 5.00pm AEST on the Closing Date, being 6 October 2015,or such later date as the Directors determine). You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cutoff times with respect to electronic payment and you should take this into account when making payment. If you elect to make payment using BPAY®, you must contact your bank, credit union or building society to make payment of the Application Money from your cheque or savings account. Refer to the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the Biller Code and Customer Reference Number. Eligible Shareholders who have multiple holdings will have multiple Customer Reference Numbers. Please note that BPAY® payments must be drawn on an Australian bank.

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

  • (m) Other than pursuant to term (l), an Option does not confer the right to a change in exercise price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the option can be exercised.

  • (n) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and Option holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities of the Company offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 4 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • (o) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of shares in the Company, the number of shares over which the Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (p) The terms of the Options shall only be changed if holders of ordinary shares in the Company who are not excluded from voting approve of such a change. However, the terms of the Options cannot be changed to reduce the exercise price, increase the number of Options or change any period for exercise of the Options.

  • (q) If at any time a meeting of holders of Options is required or proposed, the rules applicable to the convening and holding of, and voting at, a general meeting of the Company will apply so far as they are capable of application (and with all necessary changes) to that meeting on the basis that on a poll a holder is entitled to 1 vote for each Option held.

7.4 Trading of Rights and New Shares and New Options

It is expected that trading of Rights on ASX will commence at 10 am on 3 September 2015 until 4 pm 28 September 2015.

The Company will have no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for negligence) to persons who trade Rights before the New Shares and New Options are quoted on a normal ('T+3') settlement basis on ASX or before they receive their confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company or the Share Registry, the Underwriters or otherwise or who otherwise trade or purport to trade Rights in error or which they do not hold or are not entitled.

If you are in any doubt as to these matters, you should first consult with your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

7.5 Rounding of Rights

Where fractions arise in the calculation of Rights, they will be rounded up to the next whole number of New Shares.

7.6 Ineligible Shareholders

The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make an offer under the Rights Issue to Shareholders whose registered address is not in Australia or New Zealand or who are otherwise ineligible under applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Rights Issue having regard to the number of Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of Shares held by the Ineligible Shareholders and the cost of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in each of those jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Rights Issue is not being extended, and New Shares and New Options will not be issued, to Ineligible Shareholders.

Page 50 of 66

==> picture [151 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Only Eligible Shareholders are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue. However, to satisfy applicable Listing Rule requirements, the Company expects to appoint a nominee and will issue that nominee with the Rights to subscribe for New Shares that would otherwise have been available for subscription by Ineligible Shareholders. The nominee will arrange for the sale of those Rights to certain institutional investors to be conducted before the Closing Date and will work with the Company to distribute any Premium (net of expenses and withholdings required by law) proportionately to Ineligible Shareholders.
