4.6 Kalimantan Coal Agreement (4)

By a cooperation agreement dated 24 November 2005 between Fast Scout Operations Pty Limited (FSO) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), PT Indo Batubara (Indo Coal) (an Indonesian incorporated Company which represent FSO's interests in Indonesia). PT Kaltim Jaya Coal (KJC) and Pt Kaltim Jaya Mineral (KJM), KJC and KJM have offered to assign to Indo Coal the legal right to exclusively conduct general survey activities, explore for, exploit, mine and sell all coal in the concession areas covered by KP1, KP2 and KP3 (assuming that KP3 is granted by the relevant Indonesian authorities) respectively, and FSO has agreed, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the agreement, to procure that Indo Coal accepts such assignment; as described in 13.4 of the Company's prospectus dated 23 December 2005 (the Kalimantan Coal Agreement) (Kalimantan Coal Project).

Coal Concession KP 2

The Company has conducted 1676 metres of preliminary core and open-hole drilling on this coastal concession as part of its on going due diligence.

This drilling has indicated the presence of six coal seams of between one and five metres thickness. The majority of this drilling has taken place in the north-east corner of the concession. These seams have been encountered in the Balikpapan Formation that extends for more than 10 kilometres within the concession. Analyses of these seams indicate thermal coal comparable in quality to seams 1 to 3 disclosed in the Independent Geological Report at page 49 of the December 2005 Prospectus.

The Company is encouraged by these preliminary results but notes that further due diligence drilling is required to confirm the strike extension of the seams along the 10 kilometre coalbearing formation within the concession.

$\Lambda$ The information in this section that relates to exploration results has been compiled by Mr Hem Shanker Madan who is a Member of The Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Madan is the Managing Director of the Company. Mr Madan has in excess of 5 years experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation under consideration and qualifies as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code)." Mr Madan consents to the inclusion in this section of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The Company also notes that it has not vet conducted drilling on seams 4 and 5 of higher quality thermal coal located in the Pulau Balang Formation within the concession (as disclosed in the Independent Geological Report at page 49 of the December 2005 Prospectus). As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company had not commenced drilling in this formation due to a delay in obtaining consent for access from land owners.

The Company has secured an extension of time to 15 July 2006 in order to complete its due diligence on KP 2. This will include further drilling in both the Balikpapan and Pulau Balang Formations together with engineering and marketing studies.

Coal Concession KP 1

Based upon preliminary drilling and other due diligence, the Company advises that it will not be proceeding with this inland concession.

Amendments to Kalimantan Coal Agreement

The Company has agreed with the vendor of KP 2 to revise the royalty and payment schedule for the acquisition of the mining rights to this concession as follows:

The gross production royalty of US$1.50/tonne payable to the vendor has been $(1)$ replaced with a 20% after tax net profits royalty.

The Company believes that this new arrangement provides a more beneficial basis for underpinning the project (if it proceeds) as it replaces an overriding royalty on gross revenues (payment of which was not dependent on the profitability of the project) with a royalty directly linked to the profitability of the project.

$(2)$ FSO is to make an additional payment of US$75,000 to the vendors (KJC and KJM) by 22 March 2006 but has secured a US$73,000 reduction to Payment 1 and an alteration to the schedule of further payments in relation to the relevant KP (if satisfactory due diligence is declared) as follows;

Milestones Amount
Payment 1: Upon execution of a deed of assignment in relation to the relevantKP, such date not being prior 15 July 2006 in relation to KP2 US$60,000
Payment 2: Upon the grant of an Exploration Right in relation to the relevant KP.but not prior to three months after Payment 1 US$133,000
Payment 3: Latter of nine months after Payment 1, and/or three months afterthe granting of the Exploitation Right in relation to the relevant KP US$67,000
Payment 4: Latter of 12 months after Payment 1, and three months aftercommencement of Mining Activities under the relevant KP US$66,000
Total (One KP) US$326,000
Total (Two KPs) US$652,000

$(3)$ Subject to completion of technical, financial, operational and legal due diligence into the KPs, the KP Holders, and any other matter considered relevant by FSO and/or Indo Coal and KP2 having been upgraded to an Exploitation Right, FSO shall procure that production commences within 24 months as of 1 January 2006. If for any reason production does not commence within 24 months of 1 January 2006, then FSO may request consent for an extension for the period of commencement of production from the relevant KP Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Coal Concession KP 3

The Company confirms that this concession has not yet been granted and accordingly no due diligence work has been conducted.

$\mathbf{R}$ Ranking of Share Allotted on Exercise of Option

Each Share allotted as a result of the exercise of an Option will, subject to the Constitution of the Company, rank in all respects equally with the existing Shares in the capital of the Company on issue at the date of allotment.

$\overline{4}$ . Notification to Option Holders

A registered owner of an Option ("Option Holder") will be entitled to receive and will be sent all reports, accounts and notices required to be given to the members of the Company but will not be entitled to attend or vote at any meeting of the members of the Company unless they are, in addition to being Option Holders, members of the Company.

5. Transfer of an Option

Each Option is transferable at any time prior to the Option Expiry Date. This right is subject to any restrictions on the transfer of an Option that may be imposed by the ASX.

6. Method of Exercise of an Option

Attached to or endorsed on the reverse side of each certificate or holding statement will be a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options the subject of the certificate or holding statement ("Notice of Exercise of Options"). Options may be exercised by the Option Holder completing the Notice of Exercise of Options and forwarding the same to the Secretary of the Company. The Notice of Exercise of Options must state the number of Options exercised and the consequent number of ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company to be allotted: which number of Options must be a multiple of 2.000 if only part of the Option Holders total Options are exercised, or if the total number of Options held by an Option Holder is less than 2,000. then the total of all Options held by that Option Holder must be exercised.

  • 6.2 The Notice of Exercise of Options by an Option Holder must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of Shares being subscribed, being an amount of $0.20 per Share.

  • 6.3 Subject to Clause 6.1 hereof, the exercise of less than all of an Option Holders Options will not prevent the Option Holder from exercising the whole or any part of the balance of the Option Holders entitlement under the Option Holders remaining Options.

  • 6.4 On exercise of Options, the Option Holder must surrender to the Company the Option Holders option certificate or holding statement with respect to those Options being exercised.

  • 6.5 If the Option Holder exercises less than the total number of Options then registered in the Option Holders name:

    • $6.5.1$ the Option Holder must surrender the option certificate or holding statement with respect to the Option Holders Options to the Company; and
    • 6.5.2 the Company must cancel that option certificate or holding statement and issue to the Option Holder a new certificate or holding statement with respect to the balance of the Option Holders unexercised Options.
  • 6.6 Within 14 days from the date the Option Holder properly exercises Options held by the Option Holder, the Company shall issue and allot to the Option Holder that number of Shares in the capital of the Company so subscribed for by the Option Holder.

  • 67 The Company will (subject to any escrow restrictions imposed by the ASX) within three (3) business days from the date of issue and allotment of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, apply to the ASX for, and use its best endeavours to obtain, Official Quotation of all such Shares, in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules of the ASX.

$\overline{7}$ . Reconstruction

8. Participation in New Share Issues

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in any new issues of capital which may be made or offered by the Company to its Shareholders from time to time prior to the Option Expiry Date unless and until the Options are exercised. The Company will ensure that during the exercise period of the Options, the Record Date for the purposes of determining entitlements to any new such issue, will be at least 9 Business Days after such new issues are announced in order to afford the Option Holder an opportunity to exercise the Options held by the Option Holder.

9. Change of Options Exercise Price or Number of Underlying Shares

If the Company makes a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) to the $9.1$ holders of ordinary Shares, the exercise price of each Option shall be reduced in accordance with the following formula:

$$ O' = O - \frac{E[P-(S+D)]}{N+1} $$

Where:

the new exercise price of the Option. $\Omega' =$

  • $\Omega =$ the old exercise price of the Option.
  • $E =$ the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable.
  • the average market price per Share (weighed by reference to volume) of the $P =$ underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the exrights date or the ex entitlements date.
  • $S =$ the subscription price for a Share under the pro rata issue.
  • any dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except $D =$ those to be issued under the pro rata issue).
  • $N =$ the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.

No change will be made pursuant to the application of the above formula to the number of Shares to which the Option Holder is entitled.

  • 9.2 The reduction of the exercise price of each Option in accordance with the above formula shall be subject to the provisions of the Listing Rules of the ASX.
  • 9.3 If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities convertible into ordinary Shares pro rata to holders of ordinary Shares the number of Shares issued on exercise of each Option will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Option had been exercised by the Option Holder prior to the books closing date for bonus Shares.
