LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
21 March 2011
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors of Radar Iron Ltd ( Radar Iron or Company ), I am pleased to invite eligible shareholders to subscribe for New Options at an issue price of $0.02 each under this Prospectus.
In the Radar Iron IPO prospectus dated November 5, 2010 the Company proposed to proceed with an option entitlement issue within three (3) months after Official Quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX.
This Offer fulfils that commitment by allowing Eligible Shareholders to obtain one (1) Option for every three (3) Shares held at the Record Date. You may apply for Options using the Application Form attached to this Prospectus.
Exploration for iron ore has commenced by Radar Iron as anticipated with the results of the first two drilling campaigns released to the market in recent months. The primary objective of the Company remains to rapidly complete targeted exploration programs with a view to defining a JORC compliant iron ore resource in 2011.
Please read this Prospectus carefully before deciding whether or not to invest. An investment in Radar Iron contains specific risks which you should consider before making that decision. If there is any matter on which you require further information, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor.
On behalf of the Directors, I thank you or the support in Radar Iron to now and commend this investment opportunity to you.
I look forward to your continuing support.
Yours sincerely
Alan Tough Chairman

A non-renounceable pro rata entitlements issue to Eligible Shareholders of approximately 20,626,704 New Options (assuming no Options are exercised before the Record Date) on the basis of 1 New Option for every 3 Shares held as at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.02 each to raise up to $412,534 before issue costs.
1.2 No Minimum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.
1.3 Underwriting
The Offer is not underwritten.
1.4 Entitlement to Offer
Eligible Shareholders who are on the Company's Share Register at the close of business on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Offer.
Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Options. For this purpose, holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements. If the Company considers that holdings have been split to take advantage of rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Entitlements.
An Application Form setting out your Entitlement to New Options accompanies this Prospectus.
1.5 Acceptances
This Offer may be accepted in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date subject to the rights of the Company to extend the Offer period or close the Offer early.
Instructions for accepting your Entitlement are set out in section 3 and on the Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus.
1.6 Rights Trading
The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that the Rights of Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for New Options under this Prospectus are not transferable and there will be no trading of Rights on ASX. Eligible Shareholders who choose not to take up their Rights will receive no benefit and their shareholding in the Company will be diluted as a result.
1.7 Shortfall
A Shortfall will arise if the Applications received for New Options under the issue are less than the number of New Options offered.
The Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, to place any Shortfall Options within 3 months after the Closing Date. Shortfall Options will be issued at a price not less than the issue price of New Options under the Offer.
Applications for Shortfall Options can only be made on a personalised application form that accompanies this Prospectus. Applicants will need to follow the procedures advised to them by the Company for applications for Shortfall Options.
4
1.8 Application for quotation of New Options on ASX
Application will be made within seven days of the date of issue of this Prospectus for the New Options to be granted Official Quotation by ASX. If such an application is not made within these seven days, or official quotation of the New Options is not granted by ASX within three months of the date of this Prospectus, then the Company will not allot or issue any New Options and all Application Money received pursuant to this Prospectus will be repaid as soon as practicable, without interest.
If the New Options are not quoted by ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will refund all Application Money in full.
The fact that ASX may agree to grant Official Quotation of the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Options. ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus.
1.9 Allotment and Application Money
All Application Money received before New Options are issued will be held in a special purpose account until the New Options are issued.
Subject to ASX granting official quotation of the New Options, it is expected that New Options will be issued on 2 May 2011 and normal trading of the New Options on ASX is expected to commence on 3 May 2011.
1.10 Issue Outside Australia
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Shares in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Offer.

This document is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America (including its territories and possessions, any state of the US and the District of Columbia).

No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.
1.11 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders
The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia because of the small number of such Shareholders, and the cost of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia. The Prospectus is sent to those Shareholders for information only.
The Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand).

If you are broker sponsored, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Options issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number and give the participation identification number of the sponsor.
If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company’s share registrar and will contain the number of New Options issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
1.15 Rights and Liabilities attaching to the New Options
A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options is set out in section 4.
Shares issued on exercise of New Options will rank equally in respect of dividends and in all other respects (e.g. voting, bonus issues) as Existing Shares.
1.16 Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer or Shareholders applying for New Options under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Issue. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Issue.

6

If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

Interest may not be paid by the Company in respect of any dividend, whether final or interim.
(d) Winding-Up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as
14
between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability. Where an order is made for the winding up of the Company or it is resolved by special resolution to wind up the Company, then on a distribution of assets to members, Shares classified by ASX as restricted securities at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other Shares.
(e) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
(f) Variation of Rights
Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued Shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class.

5 RISK FACTORS
5.1 Overview
An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Securities.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risks factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
5.2. Risks Specific to the Company
5.2.1. Infrastructure Risk
Iron ore development is largely dependent on access to major infrastructure to enable the export of the bulk commodity. Any development on Radar Iron’s tenements will require road and rail haulage and a port with capacity. Haul roads can generally be constructed through a defined approval process. The rail line to the south of the Company’s tenements is publically accessible, subject to capacity constraints that can generally be overcome by increasing passing bays or upgrading the axle weight capacity of the line. Improvements such as these would most likely require a capital contribution from Radar Iron. Iron ore is currently exported through Esperance and is planned to commence from Kwinana (Fremantle Port) in 2011. There is limited capacity for new exporters to access these ports at present without a major capital and capacity upgrade. While there are plans to increase the capacity and hence availability to new bulk commodity exporters at both ports, there is no certainty of these progressing nor on the timing of any such development. Any upgrade is likely to be keenly sought by other potential producers, so even with an increase in capacity there is no certainty of allocation to Radar Iron.
5.2.2. Environmental Risks
The Company’s Evanston and Die Hardy projects lie inside existing conservation parks or proposed conservation and mining reserves. Both forms of tenure currently permit exploration and mining activity subject to the normal approval processes. The current proposed park boundaries were announced by the WA State Government on 1 September 2010 after a comprehensive review. The previous Government had a different approach and, had they remained in Government, it was possible that the portion of the region classified in a manner to prevent mining activity would have been greater.
A change of direction by the current or future State Governments could lock up potential tenure over which Radar Iron currently has access. This could include expansion of proposed park boundaries to include the Company’s Johnston Range project that is currently outside any proposed park or reserve.
In addition, there is potential that approvals for exploration or development in the park and reserve areas will be subject to a higher degree of scrutiny that may take longer and potentially be more costly.
16
Further, the Company’s operations will have an impact on the environment and there are inherent risks associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products.
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. Priority Flora species have been reported from prior biological surveys of the Company’s tenements. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.
The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive.
Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.
5.2.3. Exploration and Development Success
The tenements held by the Company have had limited prior exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements, or any other licenses that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The Company has not yet published resource estimates for any prospects. There is no assurance that exploration or project studies by the Company will result in the definition of an economically viable mineral deposit.
The budgeted 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.
The terms of some of the Company’s tenements currently do not allow for exploration for iron ore. The Company will need to obtain authorisation under Section 111 of the Mining Act 1978 (WA) in order to be able explore for iron on
17
these tenements. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in obtaining such an authorisation.
5.2.4. Title Risks and Native Title
Although the Company has investigated title to all of its tenements, the Company cannot give any assurance that title to such tenements will not be challenged or impugned. The tenements may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or title may be affected by undetected defects or native title claims.
It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.
In addition, some of the tenements in which the Company has or will have an interest are currently in the application stage. The Company will not be able to commence exploration on these tenements until they are granted. There is no guarantee that these applications will become granted tenements.
Further, some of the Company’s tenements are subject to agreements with third parties and, in some cases, the tenements are held by the third parties with the Company having rights to iron ore found on the tenements. As announced to ASX on 16 February 2011, the Company has agreed to acquire iron ore rights from Southern Cross Goldfields Limited. Mineral rights have counterpart risk. If any of these third parties default in their obligations under those agreements, Radar Iron may not be able to enforce its rights to iron ore on those tenements and have a detrimental effect on the Company’s operations.
Exploration licences and prospecting licences only permit the Company to undertake exploration on the Company’s tenements. In the event that the Company successfully delineates an economic resource on any of the Company’s tenements, it will need to apply for a mining lease to undertake development and mining on the tenement. There is no guarantee that the Company will be granted a mining lease if one is applied for.
5.2.5.
Tenure and Access
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved.
The Company’s tenements are subject to the Mining Act 1978 (WA) . The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
18
5.2.6. Failure to Satisfy Expenditure Commitments
Interests in tenements in Western Australia are governed by the Mining Act 1978 (WA) and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the Company’s tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
Currently, the minimum annual expenditure commitments for each of the granted Company’s tenements have been met, except for E77/1168 which has had no expenditure lodged for 2010.
5.2.7. Taxation Risk
Any change in the Company’s tax status or the tax applicable to holding Shares or in taxation legislation or its interpretation, could affect the value of the investments held by the Company, affect the Company’s ability to provide returns to Shareholders and/or alter the post–tax returns to Shareholders.
5.2.8. Aboriginal Heritage
Archaeological and ethnographic surveys in the Company’s tenements have identified a number of sites of significance which have been registered with the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Approvals are required if these sites will be impacted by exploration or mining activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.
5.2.9. Changes in Government Policy
Adverse changes in Federal or Western Australian government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. In addition, there is a possibility that the Company’s agreements with governments or joint venture partners may be unenforceable against such parties.
5.2.10. 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 and 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.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its license interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
19
5.2.11. Resource Estimates
In the event that the Company successfully delineates a JORC compliance resource on any of its tenements, 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.
5.2.12. Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity 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 United States 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.
5.2.13. Additional Requirements for Capital
At the completion of the Initial Public Offering (IPO), the Company’s cash reserves were considered sufficient to meet the exploration and evaluation objectives of the Company at that time. Since the IPO, the Company has acquired a significant package of iron mineralisation rights from Southern Cross Goldfields Limited. Additional funding is likely to be required to appropriately assess the potential of this project area.
Additional funding may be also be required in the event exploration costs exceed the Company’s estimates. And to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of further opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur, additional financing will be required.
The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on the Company’s properties or even loss of a property interest. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
Further, the Company, in the ordinary course of its operations and developments, is required to issue financial assurances, particularly insurances and bond/bank guarantee instruments to secure statutory and environmental performance undertakings and commercial arrangements. The Company’s ability to provide such assurances is subject to external financial and credit market assessment, and its own financial position.
20
Loan agreements and other financing rearrangements such as debt facilities, convertible note issue and finance leases (and any related guarantee and security) that may be entered into by the Company may contain covenants, undertakings and other provisions which, if breached, may entitle lenders to accelerate repayment of loans and there is no assurance that the Company would be able to repay such loans in the event of an acceleration. Enforcement of any security granted by the Company or default under a finance lease could also result in the loss of assets.
5.2.14. Reliance on Key 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. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.
5.3. General Risks
5.3.1. Insurance Risks
The Company has appropriate insurance policies in place 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.
Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
5.3.2. Competition Risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although 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, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.
5.3.3. Regulatory Risk
The Company’s mining operations and exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.
Obtaining necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in
21
suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of the Company’s tenements.
5.3.4. Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(a) general economic outlook;
-
(b) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(c) currency fluctuations;
-
(d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(f) terrorism or other hostilities.
5.3.5.
General Resource Sector Risk
In common with other entities undertaking business in the natural resources sector, certain risks are substantially outside the control of the Company. These risks include abnormal stoppages in production or delivery due to factors such as industrial disruption, major equipment failure, accident, power failure or supply disruption, unforeseen adverse geological or mining conditions and/or changes to predicted ore or mineral quality, the state of supply and demand for gold in Australia and overseas markets and the effect of the gold price, changes in government regulations (including environmental regulations) and government imposts such as royalties, rail freight charges and taxes and risks to land titles, mining titles and the use thereof as a result of native title claim.
5.3.6.
Trading Risks
The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on ASX is subject to fluctuations in response to variations in operating performance and general operations and business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the Directors and the Company have no control, such as movements in iron ore and exchange rates, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation and other events or factors.
There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company’s securities will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase.
There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or below the price that Shareholders paid.
22
5.3.7. Force Majeure
The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
5.3.8. Litigation Risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
5.3.9. 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 securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
6.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111 AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities.
This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Options on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Options. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) the financial statements of the Company for the period from 21 September 2010 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2010 being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(ii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgment of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus
24
in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be obtained free of charge from the Company’s registered office during normal office hours.
