Appendix B – Key Risks
==> picture [171 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
The future performance of the Company and the value of its shares may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and its directors. Key risks associated with the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates as well as general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities generally are described below.
Exploration and Operating Risk
The mineral exploration licences comprising the Araxa Project are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences 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 or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, 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 being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration licences comprising the Project and obtaining all required approvals for their contemplated activities. In the event that exploration programmes prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Project, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral exploration licences comprising the Project.
Tenure
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations in Brazil and the discretion of the relevant mining authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing mineral tenements in Brazil and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. Tenements 832.150/1989 and 831.436/1988 are subject to renewal and extension applications to ANM (the relevant mining authority). There is no certainty that the renewal and extension requests will be granted or granted on conditions that are acceptable. Tenement 831.972/1985 is an application for a mining concession that is progressing through the application process. There is no certainty that the application will be granted or granted on conditions that are acceptable.

Appendix B – Key Risks (continued)
==> picture [171 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
The future performance of the Company and the value of its shares may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and its directors. Key risks associated with the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates as well as general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities generally are described below.
Access
The tenements comprising the Araxa Project are situated on private land. Access to the tenements to carry out exploration and potential mining operations must be agreed with the landowners, being the Government owned CODEMIG and CBMM. Access arrangements have been agreed in the past to allow drilling and other exploration to be carried out on the tenements. There is no certainty as to the timing of further access arrangements.
The suppression of vegetation at the Araxa tenements requires approval from a number of Government authorities. These kind of approvals have been granted previously for exploration and mining at the Barreiro Carbonatite. There is no certainty that similar approvals will be granted in the future or granted on conditions that are acceptable..
Grant of future authorisations to explore and mine
If the Company discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that it then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require various approvals, licences and permits before it will be able to mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be materially adversely affected.
Environment
The operations and proposed activities of the Company at the Araxa Project 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 mine 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.
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.
Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.

Appendix B – Key Risks (continued)
==> picture [171 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
The future performance of the Company and the value of its shares may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and its directors. Key risks associated with the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates as well as general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities generally are described below.
Environmental Risk
Some areas within the project site are a listing and preservation zone by the municipality, according to the current master plan, recognized by Brazil and the State of Minas Gerais, according to the Geoenvironmental Study of Hydromineral Sources/Araxá Project conducted by CPRM/Geological Service of Brazil. This classification is designed to protect water resources and vegetation within the designated area. Approvals are required from the relevant authorities to conduct exploration and mining activities in these areas, presenting a significant environmental management risk to the project. There is no certainty that approvals will be granted in the future or granted on conditions that are acceptable
Additional capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Company will require further financing in the future to meet the remaining payments to the vendor of the Araxa Project as well as to continue exploration and development activities. 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 relinquish the Araxa Project to the vendor, reduce the scope of its operations and/or scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
