3. INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This Section 3 provides a summary only of the Offers and is not intended to provide full information. Investors should read and consider this Prospectus in its entirety before making a decision on whether or not to invest in the Company.

3.1

The Company

The Company is a mineral exploration company currently subject to a deed of company administration ( DOCA ). The Company is listed on the ASX however its securities have been suspended from trading since 11 February 2009.

As part of the administration process the Company has sold or otherwise disposed of essentially all of its assets except for its application for mining lease M58/272 ( Windimurra Tenement ) located in Western Australia which is prospective for vanadium. Reinstatement to trading on the ASX is subject to, among other things, the Windimurra Tenement being granted which the Company expects to occur within 2 Business Days of the Closing Date.

In addition, the Company has recently entered into an option agreement under which the Company has an opportunity to acquire numerous exploration licenses located in Sri Lanka which are prospective for heavy mineral sands. Exercise of the option is subject to several conditions including Shareholder approval and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if the Company were applying for admission to the Official List of the ASX.

Further details of the Company’s history and its current and potential projects are set out in Section 6 .

3.2

  • Strategic Offer : The offer to the Strategic Investors of 30,000,000 Shares (6,000,000 Shares each) for nil consideration to facilitate completion of the Recapitalisation Proposal.

However, of this amount, approximately $240,000 has already been paid by the Company, leaving the Company with approximately $345,000 (plus any GST) to pay on expenses using the funds raised under the Public Offer.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

9

GH153662

Whilst the Directors are satisfied that upon completion of the Offers the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its stated objectives, investors should be aware that the Company may use and expend its cash reserves more quickly than contemplated. This may or may not leave the Company in a negative cash flow situation which may ultimately affect the value of the Company’s Shares.

Further, any future investments that may be contemplated by the Company may exceed the current or projected working capital of the Company. Accordingly, any such acquisition may need to be funded by debt and/or equity issues, as required and may be subject to Shareholder approvals (if required).

3.7

Business model

Following the onset of the Company’s financial difficulties leading to its administration in 2009, the Company has undergone a significant restructure which has, among other things, seen the Company sell or otherwise dispose of nearly all of its previously held assets and enabled the Company to isolate the liabilities connected with its previous operations to those under the DOCA. Upon ASX Reinstatement, the Company will have fully satisfied those liabilities and it will no longer be subject to the DOCA, essentially giving the Company a fresh platform from which to build its business.

The Company’s business model is to enhance Shareholder wealth by undertaking exploration work programmes on mineral projects it holds or intends to acquire an interest in, while continuing to evaluate additional exploration projects both within Australia and overseas. These projects may be in commodities other than vanadium and mineral sands.

The Company currently has interests in the following 2 projects which it intends to explore and evaluate in line with its business model:

Windimurra Project

The Company has retained its 100% interest in the application for Western Australian mining lease M58/272 ( Windimurra Tenement ) located in the Murchison Goldfield in Western Australia. Under the ASX’s conditions to the Company’s ASX Reinstatement, the Company is required to obtain the grant

13

GH153662

of the Windimurra Tenement prior to ASX Reinstatement which it anticipates achieving within 2 Business Days of the Closing Date.

Upon ASX Reinstatement, the Company will deploy a suitable management team to explore and potentially develop the Windimurra Tenement. The management team will also investigate the value of the Windimurra Tenement in light of its proximity to the vanadium mine ( Windimurra Vanadium Mine ) currently owned by Atlantic Limited. The Directors note, however, that a significant fire occurred at the Windimurra Vanadium Mine in February 2014 and it is understood that it may take approximately 9 months for the plant to be re-built.

The geological features upon which the Windimurra Vanadium Mine is located extend into the Windimurra Tenement. As a result of its strategic location, the Company intends to conduct exploration activities on the Windimurra Tenement with a view to determining whether or not an economic resource exists. In the event that an economic resource is defined on the Windimurra Tenement, the Company will consider the possibility of processing the ore at the Windimurra Vanadium Mine or selling the ore to the owners of the Windimurra Vanadium Mine on a mine gate sale basis.

Further information on the Windimurra Tenement can be found in Section 6.2 .

Sri Lankan Project

The Company has entered into an option agreement ( Option Agreement ) with Cuprum Holdings Limited ( Cuprum ) under which Cuprum has granted the Company the sole and exclusive option to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Srinel Holdings Limited ( Srinel ). Srinel is an unlisted company registered in Mauritius which owns 13 mining tenements prospective for heavy mineral sands in Sri Lanka ( Sri Lankan Project ).

Following ASX Reinstatement, the Company intends to continue its due diligence investigations into the Sri Lankan Project. If the Company is satisfied with its findings, the Company will seek the approval of Shareholders and regulatory authorities to exercise the Call Option. The Company has been advised by ASX that, prior to exercising the Call Option, the Company is required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if it were applying for admission to the Official List of ASX. Whilst the Company is proceeding on the basis that re-compliance is required, it intends to re-confirm ASX’s position on this requirement closer to the time of any proposed exercise of the Call Option.

The Sri Lankan Project spans approximately 14% of Sri Lanka’s entire coastline. Previous auger drilling has been conducted on parts of the Sri Lankan Project which has identified the existence of heavy mineral enrichment and the potential for high grade mineral sands resources. There is potential for the auger drilling to enable a JORC resource calculation and, therefore, it is expected that limited further exploration is required to achieve this outcome.

The key terms of the Option Agreement are set out in Section 11.4 and further information on the Sri Lankan Project can be found in Section 6.3 as

14

GH153662

well as the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 8 and the Lawyer’s Report on Sri Lankan Tenements in Section 9 .

3.8 Key risks

Before deciding on whether to apply for Shares under this Prospectus, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and consider the key risk factors summarised in the table below. The table below should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company. Investors should refer to the risk factors set out in full in Section 7 before making a decision on whether or not to subscribe for Shares under this Prospectus.

Risk Description Section
Termination of
the DOCA
If the terms and conditions of the DOCA are not
satisfied then the Company may be placed back into
administration or proceed to being wound up. Any
Application monies received would be returned to
applicants in accordance withSection 5.8.
7.1(a)
Grant of the
Windimurra
Tenement
If the Windimurra Tenement is not granted then the
Company will fail to satisfy the conditions to ASX
Reinstatement and Application Monies will be
returned to applicants in accordance withSection
5.8.
7.1(b)
Re-compliance
with Chapters
1 and 2
ASX has advised that the Company is required to re-
comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules
prior to exercising the Call Option. If the Company is
unable to satisfy this requirement then the Call
Option may lapse and the Company will forfeit the
Option Fee.
In order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 the
Company may be required to raise additional funds
to satisfy the “assets test”. These may require the
Company to issue additional Shares which would
dilute Shareholders. Further, the Company’s issued
Share capital may need to be consolidated so that its
Shares can be re-listed on the ASX at a price no less
than $0.20 each.
The requirement to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2
would incur additional costs for the Company which
would in turn reduce its cash reserves.
7.2(a)
Dilution and
reduced cash
reserves
The acquisition of the Sri Lankan Project will
potentially
result
in
a
significant
dilution
of
Shareholders and a significant reduction in the
Company’s cash reserves as a result of paying the
consideration. The Company may also be required
to raise additional capital in order to make the cash
payments which may further dilute then existing
Shareholders.
In addition, following ASX Reinstatement the
7.2(b)

15

GH153662

Company will seek Shareholder approval to the
issue of Shares under the Third Convertible Note
Agreement (summarised inSection 11.5). If
Shareholders do not approve the issue of Shares
then the Company may be required to use its
placement capacity under the Listing Rules to issue
the Shares and repay the balance in cash, or
otherwise repay the whole amount advanced in
cash. This will potentially reduce the Company’s
cash reserves and, if applicable, deplete its
placement capacity under the Listing Rules which
will in turn affect the Company’s ability to raise
capital.
Sri Lankan
country risk
If the Call Option is exercised, the Company will be
subject to the risks associated with operating in Sri
Lanka, including various levels of political, economic
and other risks and uncertainties.
Sri Lanka had been subject to a 26 year civil war
which concluded in May 2009. Since the end of this
conflict the government has enacted an ambitious
program of economic development projects. In
addition to efforts to reconstruct the economy, the
government has resettled more than 95% of those
civilians displaced during the final phase of the
conflict and released the vast majority of the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) combatants
captured by the Government Security Forces.
7.2(c)
Access to Sri
Lankan
Tenements
The right of the holder of a Sri Lankan exploration
license to enter onto the license to explore for
minerals is subject to the consent of the occupier of
the land and, where the land is proximate to certain
specified locations, the ministry responsible for the
protection of such locations.
7.2(d)
Windimurra
Vanadium Mine

A significant fire occurred at the Windimurra
Vanadium Mine in February 2014 and it is
understood by the Company that it may take
approximately 9 months for the plant to be re-built.
This may impact on the Company’s ability to benefit
from the Windimurra Tenement’s proximity to the
Windimurra Vanadium Mine.

7.3(a)

3.9 Key financial information

On 11 February 2009, the securities of the Company were suspended from official quotation on the ASX and on 18 February 2009 the Administrators were appointed as administrators of the Company.

At a meeting of the Creditors on 9 December 2009, the Creditors resolved that the Company enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement which was executed on 31 December 2009 ( Initial DOCA ). In or about March 2010, Trident Capital made a

16

GH153662

proposal to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company substantially on the terms of the Recapitalisation Proposal.

At a meeting of the Creditors on 6 May 2010, the Creditors resolved to vary the Initial DOCA in light of Trident Capital’s proposal. Accordingly, on 27 May 2010, the Company and the Administrators executed a Deed of Company Arrangement ( DOCA ) to vary and supersede the Initial DOCA and the Administrators became the administrators of the DOCA ( Deed Administrators ).

The DOCA remains in effect at the date of this Prospectus and, accordingly, the Company has limited relevant trading history and financial performance information. As a result, the Company is not in a position to disclose any key financial ratios other than its balance sheet which is included in the Investigating Accountant’s Report in Section 10 .

It is not possible to evaluate the Company’s future prospects based on past performance. The Directors are confident that the Company’s past performance will not impact on the future operations of the Company.

4. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present you with this Prospectus and an opportunity to become a Shareholder of Windimurra Vanadium Limited.

The Company has successfully obtained the approval of Shareholders to a number of resolutions to give effect to the Recapitalisation Proposal. Once completed, the Recapitalisation Proposal will give the Company a new capital structure with new working capital, and the Company will no longer be subject to the Deed of Company Arrangement ( DOCA ).

The Offers pursuant to this Prospectus are subject to various conditions which are summarised in Section 5.2 .

Since falling into administration, the Company has raised an aggregate of $1,095,000 by issuing the Convertible Notes. These funds have been applied to:

  • the Option Fee to obtain the Call Option to acquire the Sri Lankan Project;

  • due diligence investigations into the Sri Lankan Project;

  • the costs of Native Title negotiations with the Claimant Group to progress the application for the Windimurra Tenement;

  • the costs of preparing the Company’s audited half yearly and annual financial accounts for each financial period since 31 December 2008; and

  • various other costs including other costs associated with the Offers and the Recapitalisation Proposal.

The Company proposes to raise $2,500,000 under the Public Offer. These funds will be used to:

  • facilitate the reinstatement of the Company’s securities to trading on the ASX;

  • pay various costs associated with the Offers;

  • pay the consideration payable to the Claimant Group under the Deferred Mining Agreement as part of the process for obtaining the grant of the Windimurra Tenement;

  • pay the amounts payable to the Deed Administrators under the DOCA to terminate the DOCA and fully release the Company from its liabilities to the Creditors; and

  • implement the Company’s expenditure plans outlined in Section 3.4

The Company has retained the Windimurra Tenement which, by ASX Reinstatement, is expected to be a fully granted mining lease. The Company intends to explore the Windmurra Tenement to assess its value, particularly in light of its proximity to the neighbouring Windimurra Vanadium Mine.

21

GH153662

In addition, the Company recently entered into the Option Agreement which provides the Company with an exciting opportunity to acquire a suite of mineral sands assets in Sri Lanka. Following ASX Reinstatement, the Company will continue its due diligence investigations into the Sri Lankan Project with a view to completing the acquisition by the end of 2014 in the event that the Company exercises the Call Option.

Details about the risks of investing in the Company are contained in Section 7 and we recommend that investors read these carefully and obtain any necessary professional advice before deciding to invest.

If you do decide to invest in the Company then I would like to welcome you as a Shareholder.

Yours faithfully,

6. COMPANY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW

6.1 Background

(a) History

The Company was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 22 December 1988 as Precious Metals Australia Limited.

By 1998, the Company had commenced development of the Windimurra vanadium project in joint venture with Xstrata (now Glencore Xstrata) ( JV Project ). In 2000 the Company sold its 49% interest in the JV Project to Xstrata following a sharp decline in the vanadium price along with delays in the ramp up of the project.

Xstrata operated the mine between 2000 and 2003 before deciding to close the mine in 2004. The Company disputed Xstrata’s right to close the mine under the terms of the sale of its interest in the JV Project and in 2005 the parties came to an agreement under which, among other things, the Company acquired 100% of the JV Project.

After completing the reacquisition of the JV Project in August 2005, the Company worked to recommence operation of the mine and processing plant. By December 2008 the Company had commenced mining and the plant was to recommence progressive commission in January 2009.

On 9 February 2009, the Company announced that it was negotiating a capital raising and requested a trading halt on its securities. The securities were subsequently suspended on 11 February 2009 as the negotiations continued. As a result of, among other things, the Global Financial Crisis the Company was unable to raise additional capital and on 18 February 2009 the Company was placed into administration.

(b) Administration

On 18 February 2009, the Administrators were appointed as the administrators of the Company pursuant to section 436A of the Corporations Act. The Company’s securities have been suspended from official quotation on the ASX since 11 February 2009.

At a meeting of the Company’s Creditors on 9 December 2009 it was resolved that the Company enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement. On 31 December 2009 the Company and the Administrators executed the Initial DOCA and the Administrators became the administrators of the Initial DOCA.

In or about March 2010, Trident Capital made a proposal to reconstruct and recapitalise the Company substantially on the terms of the Recapitalisation Proposal.

Pursuant to a resolution at a meeting of Creditors held on 6 May 2010 under section 445F of the Corporations Act to consider the variation or termination of the Initial DOCA in light of Trident Capital’s proposal, the Creditors resolved pursuant to section 445A of the Corporations Act that the Company vary the Initial DOCA. On 27 May 2010 the Company and the Administrators executed

30

GH153662

the DOCA to vary and supersede the Initial DOCA and the Administrators became the administrators of the DOCA.

(c) Shareholder approval

On 26 February 2013, the Company convened the Initial General Meeting at which Shareholders were asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass resolutions in respect of the following matters:

  • (i) Consolidation of capital : The consolidation of the Company’s Share capital on a 1 for 8 basis.

  • (ii) Reduction of capital : The capital reduction of the Company by applying an amount of accumulated losses against Share capital which is considered permanently lost.

  • (iii) Issue of Shares under the Conversion Offer : The issue of 100,000,000 Shares to the First Noteholders pursuant to the conversion of the First Notes.

  • (iv) Issue of Shares under the Public Offer : The issue of 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 each to raise $2,000,000 under this Prospectus.

  • (v) Directors participation in the Public Offer : The right of the Directors to subscribe for up to 2,000,000 Shares each under the Public Offer.

  • (vi) Issue of Shares under the Strategic Offer : The issue of 30,000,000 Shares to the Strategic Investors to facilitate completion of the Recapitalisation Proposal.

All resolutions in respect of the above matters were approved by Shareholders at the Initial General Meeting. However, due to unforeseen costs and circumstances including extensive negotiations with the Claimant Group in relation to the grant of the Windimurra Tenement and the requirement on the Company to prepare financial reports for each period since its administration, the Company determined that it was necessary to increase the amount to be raised under this Prospectus to $2,500,000 to ensure that it had sufficient cash reserves to satisfy ASX’s conditions to ASX Reinstatement.

Accordingly, on 14 August 2013, the Company convened the General Meeting at which Shareholders were asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass resolutions in respect of the following matters:

  • (i) Issue of Shares under Conversion Offer : The issue of 100,000,000 Shares to the First Noteholders.

  • (ii) Issue of Shares under Public Offer : The issue of 250,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 each to raise $2,500,000 under this Prospectus.

  • (iii) Directors participation in Public Offer : The right of the Directors to subscribe for up to 2,000,000 Shares each under the Public Offer.

31

GH153662

(iv) Issue of Shares under Strategic Offer : The issue of 30,000,000 Shares to the Strategic Investors.

All resolutions in respect of the above matters were approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting.

(d) ASX waivers

The Company has obtained a waiver from ASX in respect of Listing Rule 10.13.3 to extend the time within which the Company may issue Shares to Trident Capital and the Directors (as related parties) from 1 month from the date of the General Meeting to 3 months from the date of the General Meeting. Additional waivers have been obtained to further extend the time by which these Shares must be issued until 30 April 2014. The terms of the ASX waivers were announced to ASX on 11 July 2013, 8 October 2013 and 2 December 2013 respectively.

6.2 Windimurra Project

(a) Retained asset

The Company has retained ownership of its 100% interest in the application for Western Australian mining lease M58/272 ( Windimurra Tenement ) located in the Murchison Goldfield in Western Australia. ASX Reinstatement is conditional on, among other things, the Company obtaining the grant of the Windimurra Tenement. The Company anticipates that the Windimurra Tenement will be granted within 2 Business Days of the Closing Date.

(b) Application process

The Windimurra Tenement is currently at the application stage and is pending grant by the Minister. Although the mining registrar recommended the Windimurra Tenement for grant on 22 January 1998, the land comprising the Windimurra Tenement is subject to a native title claim by the Claimant Group. Therefore, before the Windimurra Tenement can be granted by the Minister, the Company and the Claimant Group are required to comply with the ‘Right to Negotiate’ process under the Native Title Act.

This process requires the parties to negotiate the terms upon which the Windimurra Tenement may be granted. The Company and the Claimant Group have completed their negotiations in accordance with the Native Title Act and, as a result, have entered into the Deferred Mining Agreement (please see Section 11.3 for a summary of the Deferred Mining Agreement).

In accordance with the Deferred Mining Agreement, the Company will pay $300,000 to the Claimant Group in return for the executed State Deed. This document confirms that the parties have come to an agreement with respect to the grant of the Windimurra Tenement. The Company will then immediately lodge the State Deed with the DMP for the document to be registered with the National Native Title Tribunal.

Upon receiving the State Deed, the DMP will also notify the Minister who will consider the grant of the Windimurra Tenement. Although the Minister has discretion over whether or not to grant the Windimurra Tenement under the Mining Act, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that would

32

GH153662

provide grounds for the Minister to reject the Company’s application. If granted, the Windimurra Tenement will be subject to conditions. Please refer to Section 7.4(d) for further information on this risk.

As the Company is required to obtain the grant of the Windimurra Tenement prior to ASX Reinstatement, the Company will be unable to directly use the funds raised under the Public Offer to pay the $300,000 to the Claimant Group for the State Deed. Accordingly, the Company will enter into a loan agreement with a lender to borrow the amount of $300,000 for the period of time between paying the Claimant Group and obtaining the grant of the Windimurra Tenement. This period of time is estimated to be 1 Business Day. The loan would be on simple terms and only nominal, if any, interest will be payable by the Company to the lender. The loan would be repaid using the funds raised under the Public Offer.

(c) Overview of the Windimurra Tenement

The Windimurra Tenement covers an area of 6.7 square kilometres and is located 80 kilometres east-southeast of Mount Magnet along the Youanmi to Mount Magnet Road in the Murchison Goldfield in Western Australia. The Windimurra Tenement shares three boundaries with Midwest Vanadium Pty Ltd’s tenement, M58/178, which is the source of ore for the Windimurra vanadium mine currently owned by Atlantic Limited ( Windimurra Vanadium Mine ). The Directors note, however, that a significant fire occurred at the Windimurra Vanadium Mine in February 2014 and it is understood that it may take approximately 9 months for the plant to be re-built.

The Windimurra complex is a bowl-shaped, ultramafic to gabbroic intrusion approximately 85 kilometres long (north to south) and 35 kilometres wide (east to west). The complex is cut by a sill-like feature known as the Shepherds Discordant Zone ( SDZ ) which is approximately 600 metres thick, dips 45 degrees west and extends over a strike length of 45 kilometres. The SDZ hosts approximately 50 laterally-continuous bands of vanadiferous and titaniferous magnetite 0.02 to 2.0 metres thick of which the main ore zone is the 80 metre thick basal-interval.

The vanadiferous and titaniferous prospective portion of the SDZ commences 1.5 kilometres along the strike from the Windimurra Vanadium Mine and extends for 600 metres in length however it has yet to be drill tested.

Figure 1 – Windimurra Vanadium Mine regional geology.

As indicated in Figure 1 , the geological features upon which the Windimurra Vanadium Mine is located extend into the Windimurra Tenement. As a result of its strategic location, the Directors believe that it is in the Company’s interests to conduct exploration activities on the Windimurra Tenement with a view to determining whether or not an economic resource exists. In the event that an economic resource is defined on the Windimurra Tenement, the Company will consider the possibility of processing the ore at the Windimurra Vanadium Mine and/or selling the ore to the owners of the Windimurra Vanadium Mine on a mine gate sale basis.

6.3 Sri Lankan Project

(a) Option to acquire Srinel Holdings Limited

The Company recently entered into an option agreement ( Option Agreement ) with Cuprum Holdings Limited ( Cuprum ) under which Cuprum has granted the Company the sole and exclusive option to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Srinel Holdings Limited ( Srinel ). Srinel is an unlisted company registered in Mauritius which owns 13 exploration licenses in

34

6.4 Future acquisitions

A portion of the Company’s assets will be comprised of cash. As such, disclosure is required regarding the expertise of the current Directors and, more specifically, how this level of expertise will assist the Company in making investment decisions.

The Directors have a broad range of commercial and public company experience. The Directors also have broad experience in project development, finance and corporate transactions for various listed and non-listed entities, which will be relevant to the assessment of potential projects for the Company. The Directors consider that their contacts and relevant experience will provide assistance in attracting and securing new projects for investment and acquisition.

The Directors are committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and they will make themselves readily available to meet the requirements of the Company and its operations going forward. The Directors will ensure that they devote sufficient time, attention and skill to the duties of their position and the Company’s business.

Investment strategies may be adopted as and when suitable opportunities are identified by the Board. The Company may be subject to additional risks in the future relating to these investments that cannot be identified as at the date of this Prospectus.

37

GH153662

7. RISK FACTORS

As with any share investment, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The numerous risk factors are both of a specific and a general nature. Some can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated.

This Section 7 identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

7.1

Risks to ASX Reinstatement

(a) Termination of the DOCA

As the Company is currently subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement, there is a risk that if the terms and conditions of the DOCA are not satisfied then the Company may proceed into liquidation. The terms and conditions of the DOCA are summarised in Section 11.1 . However, if the DOCA is not terminated then investors will be repaid their Application Monies in accordance with Section 5.8 .

(b) Grant of the Windimurra Tenement

ASX requires the Company to obtain the grant of the Windimurra Tenement prior to being reinstated to the ASX (please refer to Section 6.2(b) for further information). Although the Directors are not aware of any reason why the Minister would reject the application for the Windimurra Tenement, the Minister has discretion under the Mining Act to grant or refuse a mining lease as it thinks fit.

In addition, if the Company is unable to obtain a short term loan for the amount of $300,000 to be paid to the Claimant Group in accordance with Section 6.2(b) then it will not receive the State Deed and the Windimurra Tenement will not be granted.

In any event, however, if the Windimurra Tenement is not granted then investors will be repaid their Application Monies in accordance with Section 5.8 .

(c) Deadline to issue Shares

The Company has obtained waivers from ASX to extend the time within which the Company must issue the Shares offered under this Prospectus to 30 April 2014. The terms of the ASX waivers were announced to ASX on 11 July 2013, 8 October 2013 and 2 December 2013. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Directors anticipate that Shares will be issued under this Prospectus on 29 April 2014. However, if circumstances arise which are likely to make it difficult or impossible for the Company to issue the Shares by 30 April 2014 (such as delays caused by external factors or ASIC extending the Exposure Period), then the Company will need to apply to ASX for a waiver in

38

GH153662

respect of the Listing Rules to extend this deadline further. There is no guarantee that ASX would grant such a waiver.

In the event that the Company is unable to issue the Shares by 30 April 2014, and ASX does not grant a waiver, the Company may be required to return to Shareholders to refresh the approvals for issuing the Shares offered under this Prospectus. In any event, however, if the Shares are not issued and quoted on the ASX within 3 months of the date of this Prospectus then applicants will be repaid their Application Monies in accordance with Section 5.9 .

(d) Deadline to complete Reconstruction Deed

On 27 May 2010, the Company entered into a reconstruction deed ( Reconstruction Deed ) with the Administrators and Trident Capital to document the proposed structure of the Recapitalisation Proposal. Under the Reconstruction Deed, the Company is required to complete the Public Offer and obtain conditional approval from ASX to ASX Reinstatement by 30 April 2014. If circumstances arise which are likely to make it difficult or impossible for the Company to satisfy these conditions by 30 April 2014 (such as delays caused by external factors or ASIC extending the Exposure Period), then the Company will need to request an extension of this deadline from the Administrators. There is no guarantee that the Administrators would agree to such an extension.

In the event that the Company is unable to satisfy the conditions to the Reconstruction Deed by 30 April 2014, and the Administrators do not agree to an extension, the Company may proceed into liquidation. In any event, however, if the Shares are not issued and quoted on the ASX within 3 months of the date of this Prospectus then applicants will be repaid their Application Monies in accordance with Section 5.9 .

7.2 Risks of the Sri Lankan Project

(a) Shareholder approval and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2

The Company holds an option to acquire the Sri Lankan Project under the Option Agreement (summarised in Section 11.4 ). Exercise of the Call Option is subject to the Company obtaining the approval of Shareholders and all necessary regulatory authorities. ASX has advised that, prior to exercising the Call Option, the Company is required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if it were applying for admission to the Official List of ASX. If the Company is unable to obtain Shareholder approval to the acquisition, or is unable to meet the requirements of re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2, then the Call Option may lapse and the Company will forfeit the Option Fee.

In order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2, the Company may be required to raise additional funds to satisfy the “assets test”. These funds would likely be raised via the issue of Shares which would dilute Shareholders. Further, the Company’s issued Share capital may need to be consolidated so that its Shares can be re-listed on the ASX at a price that is no less than $0.20 each.

The requirement to obtain Shareholder approval will require the Company to prepare and issue a notice of meeting to convene a general meeting of

39

GH153662

Shareholders. This will also require the Company to commission experts to prepare expert reports for inclusion in the notice of meeting. Further, the requirement to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules will require the Company to satisfy a number of potentially onerous conditions which will likely require the Company to engage the services of its professional advisers. As a result, both processes will incur additional costs for the Company which will in turn reduce its cash reserves.

In addition, Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares if the Company is suspended from trading until such time as it does re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2.

(b) Dilution and reduced cash reserves

The consideration payable under the Option Agreement is a combination of Shares and cash, subject to certain performance milestones being satisfied. Therefore, the acquisition of the Sri Lankan Project will potentially result in a significant dilution of then existing Shareholders and a significant reduction in the Company’s cash reserves. The Company may also be required to raise capital in order to make the cash payments which may further dilute then existing Shareholders.

In addition, following ASX Reinstatement the Company will seek Shareholder approval to the issue of Shares under the Third Convertible Note Agreement (summarised in Section 11.5 ). If Shareholders do not approve the issue of Shares then the Company may be required to use its placement capacity under the Listing Rules to issue the Shares and repay the balance in cash, or otherwise repay the whole amount advanced in cash. This will potentially reduce the Company’s cash reserves and, if applicable, deplete its placement capacity under the Listing Rules which will in turn affect the Company’s ability to raise capital.

(c) Sri Lankan country risk

The Sri Lankan Project is located in Sri Lanka and, if the Call Option is exercised, the Company will be subject to the risks associated with operating in that country, including various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties.

Sri Lanka had been subject to a 26 year civil war which concluded in May 2009. Since the end of this conflict the government has enacted an ambitious program of economic development projects. In addition to efforts to reconstruct the economy, the government has resettled more than 95% of those civilians displaced during the final phase of the conflict and released the vast majority of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) combatants captured by the Government Security Forces.

More general risks include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

40

GH153662

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

Outcomes in courts in Sri Lanka may be less predictable than in Australia, which could affect the enforceability of contracts entered into by the Company or its subsidiaries in Sri Lanka.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations or profitability of the Company.

(d) Access to Sri Lankan Tenements

As noted in section 7 of the Lawyer’s Report on Sri Lankan Tenements, the right of the holder of an exploration license to enter onto the license to explore for minerals is subject to the consent of the occupier of the land and, where the land is proximate to certain specified locations, the ministry responsible for the protection of such locations.

Under Sri Lankan legislation, the Company may be required to enter into an agreement with the relevant landowner or occupier for the purpose of securing this consent prior to commencing any exploration activities on the affected areas within the Sri Lankan Tenements.

(e)

Restricted areas within Sri Lankan Tenements

Under the conditions of the Sri Lankan Tenements, the holder is not permitted to conduct exploration activities within forest boundaries (for certain licenses), nor any area specifically designated as ancient or protected monuments, archaeological reserves, national heritage wilderness areas, strict natural reserves, national parks, nature reserves, jungle corridors or botanical gardens.

Whilst the Company is not aware of the existence of any such restricted areas within the Sri Lankan Tenements, there is a risk that the Company’s proposed exploration activities on the Sri Lankan Tenements may be affected if any areas within them fall within the above restricted categories.

(f)

Counterparty risk

The Company’s option to acquire the Sri Lankan Project is granted under the Option Agreement. The ability of the Company to complete on the acquisition of the Sri Lankan Project will depend on the performance by Cuprum of its obligations under the Option Agreement. If Cuprum or any other counterparty defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to institute court proceedings to seek a legal remedy. Legal action instituted in Australia or overseas can be costly.

(g) Currency risk

If the Company acquires the Sri Lankan Project, the Company will be exposed to the volatility and fluctuations of the exchange rate between the United States dollar, the Sri Lanka rupee and the Australian dollar.

41

GH153662

7.3 Risks of the Windimurra Project

(a) Windimurra Vanadium Mine

A significant fire occurred at the Windimurra Vanadium Mine in February 2014 and it is understood by the Company that it may take approximately 9 months for the plant to be re-built. This may impact on the Company’s ability to benefit from the Windimurra Tenement’s proximity to the Windimurra Vanadium Mine.

Additionally, even if or once the Windimurra Vanadium Mine is rebuilt, there is no guarantee that the Company will be in a position to take advantage of its strategic location if, for instance, the Company and the owner of the mine are unable to agree to terms of access and use. This may ultimately impact on the value of the Windimurra Tenement.

(b) Native title

The Native Title Act recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people according to their traditional laws and customs. The risks arising because of native title and aboriginal land rights may affect the Company’s ability to gain access to prospective exploration areas to obtain production titles.

Compensatory obligations may be necessary in settling native title claims lodged over any tenements acquired by the Company. The level of impact of these matters will depend, in part, on the location and status of the tenements acquired by the Company. Restrictions that will be placed on the Company will be customary in the industry.

The Windimurra Tenement is subject to a native title claim by the Badimia Native Title Claimant Group ( Claimant Group ). The Company has entered into the Deferred Mining Agreement to set out the compensation payable to the Claimant Group and the permissible conduct on the Windimurra Tenement. Prior to commencing productive mining on the Windimurra Tenement, the Company must also negotiate a comprehensive mining agreement with the Claimant Group and there is no guarantee that an amicable agreement will be reached. Please refer to Section 11.3 for a summary of the Deferred Mining Agreement.

7.4 Other specific risks

(a) Exploration risks

Mineral exploration and development is a speculative and high-risk undertaking that may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the control of the Company. Among other things, success in this process involves:

  • discovery and proving-up, or acquiring, an economically recoverable resource or reserve;

  • access to adequate capital throughout the acquisition/discovery and project development phases;

42

GH153662

  • securing and maintaining title to mineral exploration projects;

  • obtaining required development consents and approvals necessary for the acquisition, mineral exploration, development and production phases; and

  • accessing the necessary experienced operational staff, the applicable financial management and recruiting skilled contractors, consultants and employees.

There can be no assurance that exploration of the Windimurra Tenement or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future (including, for example, the Sri Lankan Tenements) will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource. Even if an apparently viable mineral resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The exploration activities of the Company may be adversely affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, operational risks and changing government laws and regulations. Further, whether positive income flows result from projects on which the Company will expend exploration and development capital is dependent on many factors including successful exploration, establishment of production facilities, cost control, commodity price movements, successful contract negotiations for production and stability in the local political environment.

In addition, significant expenditure may be required to establish necessary metallurgical and mining processes to develop and exploit any mineral reserves identified on the Company’s tenements. There is no assurance that the Company will have sufficient working capital or resources available to do this.

(b) Resource estimates

The Company does not currently have any JORC compliant resources. Should a JORC compliant resource be delineated in the future, any resource estimate will be an expression of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which are valid when originally made may change appreciably when further information becomes available. Such resource estimates are by nature imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations which may, with further exploration, prove to be inaccurate. If the Company encounters ore bodies or formations which differ from those suggested by past sampling and analysis, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and any production plans altered accordingly which may adversely impact the Company’s plans.

(c)

Operations 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 and mining;

  • operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining;

43

GH153662

  • insufficient or unreliable infrastructure, such as power, water and transport;

  • political or civil unrest, including outbreaks of violence or other hostilities;

  • 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.

(d)

Title risk

The Windimurra Tenement will be granted under and governed by the laws of Western Australia and will be subject to conditions, including minimum annual expenditure commitments and reporting requirements. Similar conditions may be applied to future mining tenements acquired by the Company, including the Sri Lankan Tenements which are subject to such conditions. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in forfeiture of the tenement.

Further, as is generally the case with mining tenements, the Windimurra Tenement and the Sri Lankan Tenements are subject to periodic renewal. Whist there is no reason to believe that such renewals will not be granted, the Company cannot guarantee that this will occur. New conditions may also be imposed on the Company’s tenement interests under the renewal process which may adversely affect the Company.

(e) Breaches of financial reporting obligations

The Company went into administration on 18 February 2009 following which it failed to comply with its ongoing financial reporting obligations under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act. The Company has since lodged all outstanding financial reports with ASIC as announced to ASX on 3 December 2013. Investors should be aware, however, that although the Company is now up to date with its financial reporting requirements, for a significant period of time during its administration the Company was in breach of these obligations which may attract liability under the Corporations Act.

(f) Future profitability

The Company has incurred significant losses in the past, ultimately resulting in the appointment of the Administrators. It is not possible to evaluate the Company’s future prospects based on past performance. The past performance should not impact on the future opportunities of the Company.

44

GH153662

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.

The Company intends to invest in the exploration and development of the Windimurra Tenement and any other mineral interests that it may acquire in the future, such as the Sri Lankan Project. Therefore, it is anticipated that the Company will make losses in the foreseeable future.

(g)

Future acquisitions

Going forward, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, other projects in line with its business model. Such transactions are inherently accompanied by risk. In addition, an acquisition may be subject to Shareholder and regulatory approvals, which may include re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as with the proposed acquisition of the Sri Lankan Project.

(h) Government and policy changes

Government action or policy changes, both in Australia and Sri Lanka, particularly in relation to lands and infrastructure, compliance with environmental regulations, taxation and royalties, may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial performance.

(i) Regulatory approvals

Regulatory approvals are generally required prior to any work being undertaken on mining tenements. The granting of such approvals may take time and there is no assurance that the approvals will be granted at all.

(j)

Commodity prices and exchange rates

As the Company’s potential earnings will be largely derived from the sale of mineral commodities, the Company’s future revenues and cash flows will be impacted by changes in the prices and available markets of these commodities. Any substantial decline in the price of those commodities or in transport or distribution costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of its Shares.

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include current and expected future supply and demand, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major mineral producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates.

Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars while the Company’s cost base will be in Australian dollars and, if applicable, Sri Lankan rupee. Consequently, changes in the exchange rate of these currencies will impact on the earnings of the Company. The exchange rate is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including international markets, interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

45

GH153662

(k) Environment

The proposed activities of the Company are subject to the laws and regulations concerning the environment. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. However, complying with environmental laws may be costly and results in delays to the Company’s activities. Further, the Company may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could subject it to extensive liability.

(l) Insurance

The Company intends to 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 fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

7.5 General risks

(a) Economic risks

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of factors which may affect the performance of all industries and not just the exploration and mining industries including, but not limited to, the following:

  • general economic conditions;

  • changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;

  • the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world and, in particular, investment sentiment towards the commodities sector;

  • movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates; and

  • natural disasters, social upheaval or war.

(b)

Investment risks

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

Prospective investors must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate to their own circumstances.

(c) Share market risks

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. The market price of the Shares may be subject to fluctuation and may be affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • general economic outlook;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • commodity price fluctuations;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

There is also no guarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of Shares on the ASX at any particular time.

(d) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. 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, and such activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

(e) Future capital needs

Further funding of projects may be required by the Company to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and, consequently, its performance.

(f) Dependence on personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. The Company may be detrimentally affected if one or more of the key management or other personnel cease their engagement with the Company.
