SUREFIRE RESOURCES NL PROPOSED TIMETABLE

PROPOSED TIMETABLE

Lodgement of Prospectus with the ASIC and ASX 24 March 2017
Opening Date of Offer 27 March 2017
Closing Date of Offer 31March 2017
Expected Date of Official Quotation of Shares 10 April2017

This timetable is indicative only and subject to change. The Company reserves the right to vary the above dates including the Closing Date, subject to the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act, without notice.

1. Details of the Offer

1.1. The Offer

By this Prospectus, the Company invites investors identified by the Directors to apply for up to 100,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.002 per Share payable in full on application to raise $200 (before expenses).

All of the Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to Section 4.1 for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares.

1.2. Objectives

The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $200 (before expenses) under this Prospectus and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital.

The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions that may be attached to Shares issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date.

Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:

  • (a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that were quoted securities at all times in the 3 months before the day on which the relevant securities were issued;
  • (b) trading in that class of securities on a prescribed financial market on which they were quoted was not suspended for more than a total of 5 days during the shorter of the period during which the class of securities were quoted, and the period of 12 months before the day on which the relevant securities were issued;
  • (c) the Company has not been exempted by ASIC from the continuous disclosure provisions at any time during the relevant period referred to in paragraph (b);
  • (d) the Company or any person as director or auditor of the body has not been exempted from or received an instrument of modification in relation to the financial reporting provisions at any time during the relevant period referred to in paragraph (b); and
  • (e) (relevantly) the Company gives the relevant market operator for the Company a notice that complies with Section 708A(6) of the Corporations Act before the sale offer is made.

The Company has been suspended for more than 5 days during the past 12 months and may not therefore rely on Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act.

However, Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:

  • (a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body; and
  • (b) either:
    • (i) a prospectus is lodged with the ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
    • (ii) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the Prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and
  • (c) the Prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

1.3. Opening and Closing Dates

The Opening Date of the Offer will be 27 March 2017 and the Closing Date will be 5.00pm WST 31 March 2017. The Directors reserve the right to close the Offer early or extend the Closing Date (as the case may be), should it be considered by them necessary to do so, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.

1.4. Application

Applications for Shares must only be made by investors at the direction of the Company and must be made using the Application Form accompanying this Prospectus. The Directors reserve the right to issue Shares pursuant to the Offer at their absolute discretion. Accordingly, do not submit an Application Form unless directed to do so by the Directors.

Payment for the Shares must be made in full at the issue price of $0.002 per Share.

Completed Application Forms and accompanying cheques must be mailed or delivered to:

Surefire Resources NL c/: Wembley Corporate Services 63 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008

Cheques should be made payable to "Surefire Resources" and crossed "Not Negotiable". Completed Application Forms must reach the address set out above by no later than the Closing Date.

If you are paying by cheque, your completed Application Form and cheque must reach the Company's registered office no later than 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays.

1.5. Application Form

Acceptance of a completed Application Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the accepted subscription amount. The Application Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of your subscription amount.

If the Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat the acceptance of an Application Form as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.

1.6. Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.

1.7. Underwriter

The Offer is not underwritten.

1.8. Allotment of Shares and Application Money

Shares will be issued only after all Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the Shares to be quoted. It is expected that Shares will be issued on 3 April 2017 and trading of the Shares on ASX is expected to commence on 10 April 2017. Holding statements for Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after their issue.

All Application Money received before Shares are issued will be held in a special purpose account for the purpose of depositing Application Money. This account will be established and kept by the Company in trust for each Applicant. Any interest earned on the Application Monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by the Company irrespective of whether grant takes place and each Applicant waives the right to claim any interest.

The Directors will determine the allottees of all the Shares the subject of the Offer in their sole discretion. The Directors reserve the right to reject any application or to allot any Applicant fewer Shares than the number applied for.

Where the number of Shares allotted is less than the number applied for, the surplus monies will be returned by cheque as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Where no allottment is made, the amount tendered on application will be returned in full by cheque as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Interest will not be paid on monies refunded.

1.9. ASX quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for Official Quotation of the Shares

offered under this Prospectus. If approval for Official Quotation of the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus is not granted within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application Monies without interest as soon as practicable.

The fact that ASX may agree to grant Official Quotation of the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares. ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.

1.10. CHESS

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS for those investors who have a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with separate statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1.11. Restrictions on the Distribution of the Prospectus

This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

Residents of countries outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any government or other consents are required, or whether any formalities need to be observed should they wish to make an application to take up Shares on the basis of this Prospectus. It is the responsibility of any Applicant to ensure compliance with any laws of a country relevant to their application. The return of a duly completed Application Form will be taken to constitute a representation and warranty that there has been no breach of such laws and that all approvals and consents have been obtained.

1.12. Market price of Shares

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and its Shares are enhanced disclosure securities quoted on ASX.

The highest, lowest and last market sale prices of the Company's Existing Shares on the ASX, which are on the same terms and conditions as the Shares being offered under this Prospectus, during three months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC and the respective dates of those sales were:

3 month high 3 month low Last market sale price
Existing Shares $0.004 $0.001 $0.004

1.13. Rights and Liabilities attaching to the Shares

The Shares will rank equally in respect of dividends and in all other respects as Existing Shares. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares is set out in Section 4.1.

1.14. Risk factors

An investment in Shares should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are summarised in detail in Section 2.

1.15. Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation consequences. The Company, its advisers and its officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, potential Applicants should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.

1.16. Major activities and financial information

A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company is included in the 2016 Annual Financial Report which was lodged with ASX on 30 September 2016.

The Company's continuous disclosure notices (i.e. ASX announcements) since 30 September 2016 are listed in Section 4.4.

Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. Directors strongly recommend that Shareholders review these and all other announcements prior to deciding whether or not to participate in the Offer.

1.17. Enquiries concerning Prospectus

Enquiries concerning the Application Form and the Prospectus should be directed to the Company Secretary by telephone on (08) 9382 8822.

You can also contact your stockbroker or professional adviser with any queries in relation to the Offer.

2. Risk Factors

Activities in the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company's future performance.

The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which Shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and risks of increasing your investment in the Company. The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus.

2.1 Specific Risks associated with the Company

(a) Going concern

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the Company raising additional capital. The Board is currently sourcing further funding opportunities to enable the Company to continue as a going concern, however there is a risk that the Company may not be able to raise sufficient funds to fully pay creditors' claims, in which case the Company will seek to defer creditors' claims until sufficient funds can be raised.

(b) Additional Requirements for Funding

The Company's funding requirements depend on numerous factors including the Company's ability to generate income from its project, future exploration and work programs and the acquisition of new projects.

It is likely that the Company will require further equity or debt (or a combination of both) funding to finance its future activities. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to procure that funding in a timely manner on terms acceptable to it. If that additional funding cannot be obtained, the Company may need to reduce the scope of its activities, which may adversely affect its business and its financial performance and condition.

Additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to Shareholders and at lower prices than the current market price. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion.

(c) Exploration Risk

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.

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

(d) No JORC Compliant Resource

There is no JORC compliant resource in relation to any of the Company's assets and there is no guarantee that a JORC code compliant resource in relation to any of the Company's assets will be achieved in the future.

(e) Resource Estimates

In the event that the Company successfully delineates a JORC compliant resource on any of the tenements in which it has an interest, that resource estimate will be an expression of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company's operations.

(f) Directors and Senior Management

The Board is aware of the need to have sufficient management to properly supervise the exploration of the Company's projects and the Board will continually monitor the management roles in the Company. The Company does not at present have any executive directors. The Company will continue to source appropriately qualified personnel to assist the Company to carry out its stated objectives.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to secure personnel with the relevant experience at the appropriate time which may impact on the Company's ability to complete all of its preferred exploration programmes in its preferred timetable.

2.2 Mineral Industry Risks

(a) Exploration and development risks

The exploration for, and development of, mineral deposits involves a high degree of risk. Few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterised by a number of significant risks, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits, but also from finding mineral deposits that, although present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond the control of the Company and that cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on investment capital.

Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, metal prices, which fluctuate widely, and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The combination of these factors may result in the Company expending significant resources (financial and otherwise) on a property without receiving a return. There is no certainty that expenditures made by the Company towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries of an economically viable mineral deposit.

The Company has relied on and may continue to rely on consultants and others for mineral exploration and exploitation expertise. The Company believes that those consultants and others are competent and that they have carried out their work in accordance with internationally recognised industry standards. However, if the work conducted by those consultants or others is ultimately found to be incorrect or inadequate in any material respect, the Company may experience delays or increased costs in developing its properties.

(b) Resource estimates

Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on drilling results, past experience with mining properties, knowledge, experience, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Ore estimation is an interpretive process based on available data and interpretations and thus estimations may prove to be inaccurate.

The actual quality and characteristics of ore deposits cannot be known until mining takes place, and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop resources. Further, Ore Reserves are valued based on future costs and future prices and consequently, the actual Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources may differ from those estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect on operations.

(c) Payment obligations

Under the exploration permits and licences and certain other contractual agreements to which the Company is or may in the future become party, the Company is or may become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, the permit holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the permits and licences. Failure to meet these work commitments will render the permit liable to be cancelled. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of interests held by the Company.

(d) Sovereign risks

The Company's exploration activities are be conducted in both onshore and offshore areas in Tanzania, which is a developing country. Due to the location of the exploration assets, the Company will be exposed to the political, security and social risks.

There can be no assurance that the current systems of government in any country will remain stable and conducive to foreign investment. Any changes in government policy may result in changes in laws affecting various factors including the ownership of exploration assets, taxation regime, environmental protection, labour relations, and repatriation of income, amount of royalty and return of capital. A change in these factors may in turn affect the Company's ability to undertake exploration and development activities in the manner currently contemplated.

(e) International Operations

International sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including:

  • i. potential difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign local systems;
  • ii. potential difficulties in protecting intellectual property;
  • iii. increases in costs for transportation and shipping; and
  • iv. restrictive governmental actions, such as imposition of trade quotas, tariffs and other taxes.

Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

(f) Operating risks

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

These risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

(g) Commodity price volatility and exchange rates

The revenue the Company will derive through the sale of commodities it produces, exposes the potential income of the Company to the iron ore DSO fines price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in US dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

(h) Insurances

Insurance of all risks associated with exploration and production is not always available and, where it is available, the cost may be high.

The business of the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Company maintains insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations and insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability, particularly as the Company is seeking to acquire new projects which are located in other jurisdictions or involve a new commodity.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

(g) Infrastructure

The marketability of the Company's production depends in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of infrastructure such as ports, railways, pipelines, power and processing facilities. Federal and state regulation of resources production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand and general economic conditions all could adversely affect the ability to produce and market mineral commodities.

2.3 Environmental risks

(a) General

The operations and activities of the Company are subject to regulations concerning the environment. The Government and other authorities that administer and enforce environmental laws determine these requirements. As with all exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if mine development proceeds. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws.

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidents or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

(b) Water access

The Company's operations are heavily dependent on water. Depending on water availability, there is the potential that the Company will be unable to access as much water as it desires. There is also the potential that the Company will be either unable to pump water for its operations or the cost of obtaining water increases or becomes prohibitive, with a consequent adverse impact on the Company's financial position.

2.4 General Risks

(a) Securities investments

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Shares trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.

Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for mining and exploration companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. There can be no guarantee that these trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares regardless of the Company's operational performance.

(b) Share market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • general economic outlook;
  • interest rates and inflation rates;
  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular countries;
  • global media reports;
  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
  • other external factors whether real or perceived by the market.

The market price of the Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c) Economic Risk

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 general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, the rate of growth of gross domestic product in Australia, or any other country in which the Company may operate, interest rates and the rate of inflation.

(d) Changes in Government Policies and Legislation

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

2.5 Investment Speculative

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