Continuous Disclosure

This is a Prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) of the Company and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.

Restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus

The Securities being offered under this Prospectus pursuant to the Rights Issue are being offered to Eligible Shareholders, being Shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand at 7.00 pm on the Record Date.

1

any such restrictions. A failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities or to otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities, outside Australia and New Zealand. The Securities may not be offered in a jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand where such an offer is not made in accordance with the laws of that place.

More detail regarding restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus, and limitations upon the jurisdictions in which the offers under the Prospectus are made, is set out in section 1.12.

New Zealand Notice

The Offer to New Zealand investors pursuant to this Prospectus are regulated offers made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth). In New Zealand, this is Part 5 of the Securities Act 1978, Securities Regulations 2009 and the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008.

The Offer and the content of this Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. The Australian Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) set out how the Offer must be made. There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for collective investment schemes is different under the Australian regime. The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian securities may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand securities.

Both the Australian and New Zealand securities regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to the Offer. If you need to make a complaint about the Offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, Wellington, New Zealand. The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.

The taxation treatment of Australian securities is not the same as for New Zealand securities.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the Securities is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the Securities will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant. If you expect the Securities to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

The Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of the Securities offered under this Prospectus. If quotation is granted, the Securities offered under this Prospectus will be able to be traded on the ASX. If you wish to trade the Securities through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the Securities on your behalf. As the ASX does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the Securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.

The Company is required under Part 1 of the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings – Australia) Regulations 2008 to provide an Eligible Shareholder with copies of the Company's Constitution on request and free of charge.

Risk factors

This Prospectus does not take into account your investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs. In particular, you should consider the risk factors that could affect the performance of the

2

Company. You should carefully consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek professional guidance before deciding whether to invest. A number of key risk factors that you should consider are outlined in section 4.

If quotation approval is not granted, the New Options will not be quoted, however, the Company will apply for the quotation of any resultant Shares issued by the Company on exercise of each New Option. If the New Options receive quotation approval, quotation is expected to commence on or about 14 February 2013.

1.10 Market prices of Shares on ASX

1.12 Shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand

General Restrictions

This Prospectus and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Entitlements or Securities, or to otherwise permit an offering of the Entitlements or Securities, outside Australia and New Zealand.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and therefore persons who come into possession of this document should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. A failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any Entitlement and Acceptance Form that appears to have been submitted by an Ineligible Shareholder.

It is the responsibility of any applicant to ensure compliance with any laws of the country relevant to their Application.

  • (a) the cost of complying with legal and regulatory requirements outside Australia and New Zealand;

1.13 Shortfall Offer

New Shares not taken up by Eligible Shareholders (including pursuant to applications for Additional Shares) will form part of the Shortfall Offer. The issue price of any Shares offered pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be 1 cent each, being the same price as the New Shares offered to Eligible Shareholders pursuant to the Offer. Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Offer is undersubscribed. In such circumstances, the Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Offer, subject to the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable law.

8

Apply for Additional Shares and Additional Options

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to take up your Entitlement in full, you may also apply for Additional Shares (and Additional Options) in excess of your Entitlement.

Any such Application for Additional Shares will be dealt with as follows:

10

  • (a) An Eligible Shareholder, to apply for any Additional Shares (and Additional Options), must first have taken up all of their Entitlement.

  • (b) An Eligible Shareholder will not be entitled to any Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options) to the extent the issue and allotment of those Additional Shares will result in a breach of any law or an Eligible Shareholder obtaining voting power in Shares of greater than 20%.

  • (c) As to whether all or any Additional Shares (and Additional Options) are allocated to Eligible Shareholders who have applied for Additional Shares (and Additional Options) is at the discretion of the Directors.

The Company does not guarantee that you will receive any of the Additional Shares (and Additional Options) that you may apply for.

The application price for Additional Shares is 1 cent per Additional Share, the same price as New Shares are offered under the Rights Issue.

If you wish to apply for Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options), insert the number of Additional Shares you wish to apply for in the Acceptance Payment Details section on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You must also provide payment with your Entitlement and Acceptance Form to cover all of the Additional Shares for which you are applying.

Payment should be made, and the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form should be forwarded to the Share Registry, in accordance with the instructions for the payment for New Shares in section 2.2.

If you are not allocated all or any of the Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options) that you have applied for, you will be provided with a refund of the balance of the Acceptance Moneys as well as your allocated Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options).

The number of Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options) available to Eligible Shareholders applying for Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options) will be determined within 3 Business Days of the Closing Date.

If you have applied for Additional Shares, you will be notified of the number of Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options) to be issued to you at the time of despatch of holding statements for Securities under the Rights Issue.

Securities (including Additional Shares (and attaching Additional Options)) are expected to be issued and allotted and holding statements despatched by 13 February 2013. It is the responsibility of Shareholders to confirm the number of Securities allotted to them prior to trading on ASX. Shareholders who sell their Securities before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

2.4 Not accepting any part of your Entitlement

The Entitlements you are entitled to may be valuable. You will receive no benefit for Entitlements which lapse. Accordingly it is important that you consider taking action to accept your Entitlements.

To the extent that you do not accept your Entitlement, then New Shares and New Options representing your Entitlement may be sold to an Eligible Shareholder who applies for Additional Shares or to persons under the Shortfall Offer.

You should also note that, if you do not take up your Entitlement, then although you will continue to own the same number of Shares, your percentage shareholding in the Company will fall.

The above tables are a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the proceeds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way proceeds are applied on this basis.

3.2 Capital structure

As at the date of this Prospectus:

  • (a) The Company has 533,276,517 Shares on issue.

  • (b) The Company has 21,250,000 unquoted Options on issue, and each Option is exercisable into one Share for an exercise price of 5 cents (and each Option, if not exercised, expires on 1 December 2014).

The holders of the Options will not be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue unless they exercise their Options under the terms of their issue and they do so prior to the Record Date. It is unlikely any of the Options will be exercised before the Record Date, as the exercise price of the

13

Options exceeds the closing Share price on the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus.

If all of the Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer in full, a total of approximately 533,276,517 New Shares and 533,276,517 New Options will be issued under this Prospectus as a result of the Rights Issue, assuming that no Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options on or before the Record Date.

The following table shows the proposed capital structure of the Company on completion of the Rights Issue where all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer in full:

Security Number at date of this Number following
Prospectus Completion of Offer*
Shares 533,276,517 1,066,553,034
Options 21,250,000 554,526,517
  • The above table assumes that no Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of any of the Options on or before completion of the Rights Issue.

3.3 Details of substantial holders

Based on publicly available information as at the date of this Prospectus, those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the shares on issue are as set out below:

Shareholder Shares %

50,000,000 9.376%

In the event all Entitlements are accepted there will be no change to the substantial holders on completion of the Offer.

3.4 Effect on control of Company

The Offer is not expected to have any material impact on control of the Company.

3.5 Financial effect of Offer on Company - Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position

Introduction

The effect of the Offer on the Company's financial position, if all of the Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements in full, will be to increase consolidated net assets and consolidated total equity by up to $5,135,765 after payment of the cash expenses of the Rights Issue which are estimated at $197,000.

  1. RISK FACTORS

4.1 Introduction

An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk and should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s activities. There are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating and financial performance.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company's business. In addition, there are general risks. While some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of appropriate safeguards and systems, many are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Whilst the Company intends to continue to adopt prudent management techniques to minimise these risks to Shareholders, they should still be carefully considered by potential investors when evaluating an investment in the Company.

Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus and the risks identified in this section should be considered carefully and in detail. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of.

4.2 Risks specific to the Company

Exploration Risk

By its nature, the business of exploration is a highly speculative endeavour and involves significant risks. The Company’s performance depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of resources or reserves, competent operational management and efficient financial management. The Company undertakes sampling, geophysics and drilling programs, and the outcomes of these programs will dictate the future performance of the Company. Further, the nature of exploration can sometimes result in industrial accidents and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.

There can be no assurances that the Company’s exploration programs will result in the discovery of a significant mineral target. Even if a significant target is identified, there is no guarantee that it will be viable for economic exploration.

Ultimate success depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable mineral resources, establishment of efficient exploration operations, obtaining necessary titles and access to projects, as well as government and other regulatory approvals.

The exploration and mining activities of the Company may be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to geological conditions, seasonal weather patterns, technical difficulties and failures, continued availability of the necessary technical equipment, plant and appropriately skilled and experienced technicians, adverse changes in government policy or legislation and access to the required level of funding.

Additional Requirements for Capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the outcome of the Company’s exploration programs, the Company will require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programs. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be diminished. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company and such circumstances will adversely affect the Company.

Feasibility and Development Risks

Given the early stage of the Company’s projects, there will be a complex, multidisciplinary process to be undertaken to complete a feasibility study to support any development proposal. There is a risk that the feasibility study and associated technical works will not achieve the results expected.

17

There is also a risk that even if a positive feasibility study is produced, the projects may not be successfully developed for commercial or financial reasons.

Exploration Targets

The geological characteristics of the Company’s exploration targets appear to have similar characteristics to locations where established exploration and mining operations are being successfully conducted. Similarity of geological characteristics is not determinative of any similarity in actual mineral resources. Whilst those characteristics may encourage explorers like the Company to commit expenditure to drilling programs, it must be appreciated that a substantial and real risk still exists that no viable resource will be identified. As such, it is important that geological similarities be appreciated in the context that they only provide an indication rather than any determinative evidence of any viable outcome.

The Company’s Interests in Mineral Tenements

Changes in Australian laws and regulations will have a significant effect on the Company’s exploration operations, especially changes to environmental, mining, grant or renewal of concessions and taxation.

The Company’s investments in other companies

The Company has significant equity investments in other exploration companies. Similar risk factors apply to those other companies as to the Company and could therefore similarly impact upon the value of the Company’s investments in those other companies.

Tenement interests

To the extent that the Company’s interests in its tenements are contractual only, there is a risk that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to comply with the terms of the relevant contracts. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain adequate damages or specific performance in the case of such default and this may have a material impact on the value of the Company and its securities.

Contractors

The Company is dependent on contractors and suppliers to supply vital services to its operations. The Company is therefore exposed to the possibility of adverse developments in the business environments of its contractors and suppliers. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company.

Reliance on Key Personnel

In formulating its exploration programs, the Company relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Directors and management.

These persons possess knowledge of many of the Company’s tenements through extensive personal experience of prospecting in those areas.

Although information concerning the Company’s tenements has been chronicled, the loss of one or more of these key personnel may adversely affect the Company’s prospects of pursuing its exploration programs within the timeframes and within the cost structure currently envisaged.

There is no guarantee or assurance that these key personnel will be successful in their objectives pursuant to this Company.

Tenements

A failure to adhere to the statutory expenditure requirements in relation to the Company’s mineral tenements will, unless an exemption is granted, make one or more of the tenements subject to possible forfeiture and the loss by the Company of the associated rights to the tenements.

Native Title, Aboriginal Heritage and Heritage

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises certain rights of indigenous Australians over land where those rights have not been extinguished. These rights, where they exist, may impact on the ability of the Company to carry out exploration and in future, mining activities, or obtain exploration

18

or mining licences in Australia. In applying for licences over crown land, the Company must observe the provisions of Native Title legislation.

In carrying out exploration and/or mining operations, the Company must observe Native Title legislation (where applicable), Aboriginal heritage legislation and heritage legislation which protects sites and objects of significance and these may delay or impact adversely on the Company’s operations in Australia.

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 renewal of tenements will be approved.

The Company’s tenements are subject to numerous specific legislative conditions. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement in Australia is subject to 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.

Joint Ventures

The Company may wish to develop its projects or future projects through joint venture arrangements, while some projects are already the subject of joint venture agreements. Any joint ventures entered into by, or interests in joint ventures assigned to the Company could be affected by the failure or default of any of the joint venture participants.

4.3 General risk factors

Investment and economic risk

Economic factors both in Australia and internationally beyond the control of the Company, such as changes in commodity prices, interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, taxation, changes in government policy and legislation, may negatively impact on the operational performance of the Company.

The Company’s revenues, expenses and cash flows could be negatively affected by any of these factors, which in turn may affect the price of the New Shares.

No assurances can be made that the Company’s performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors. None of the Company or its Directors or any other person guarantees the performance of the Company or the market price at which its Shares trade.

The New Shares are to be quoted on the ASX where their price may rise or fall.

The New Shares issued under the Rights Issue carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they trade on ASX. The value of the New Shares will be determined by the market and will be subject to a range of factors beyond the control of the Company and its Directors including the demand and availability of Shares.

There can be no guarantee than an active market in New Shares will develop or the market price of the Shares will not decline. An investment in New Shares should be considered speculative.

Government policy

The Company’s capacity to explore and mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy which may be beyond the control of the Company.

Commodity price risk

The demand for and price of commodities are highly dependent on a variety of factors, including the level of forward selling by producers, costs of production, general economic conditions, inflation levels, interest rates and exchange rates.

19

These factors may adversely impact on the Company’s ability to fund operations, exploration, evaluation and development activities.

Future capital needs and additional funding

The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional capital to meet future funding requirements.

Any inability to obtain additional finance, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its financial condition and performance.

Taxation risk

Variations in the taxation laws of Australia could impact the Company’s financial performance and interpretation of taxation law could change, leading to a change in taxation treatment of investments or activities.

Changes in regulator environment

Changes to laws and regulations or accounting standards which apply to the Company from time to time could adversely impact the operating and financial performance and cash flows of the Company.

4.4 Speculative Nature of Investment

The above risk factors are not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may materially affect the future financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

The Securities issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to payment of dividends, return of capital or market value. Potential investors should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to take up or otherwise deal with their Entitlements.

  1. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

6.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares

The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the New Shares.

The New Shares will have the same rights and liabilities as the Existing Shares. The following is a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Existing Shares (and the New Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue). It is not intended to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders, which can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. Applicants who wish to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities that attach to the New Shares in any specific circumstance should seek their own professional advice.

Voting

At a general meeting of the Company, each shareholder present in person or by proxy or attorney has one vote on a show of hands and on a poll has one vote per Share they hold.

Where there are two or more joint holders of a Share, the holder whose name appears first in the Company’s register of members is entitled to vote as holder of that Share to the exclusion of other joint holders.

Dividend rights

The Directors may in accordance with the Corporations Act, declare a dividend. The dividend is payable as soon as it is declared unless the Directors specify a later time for payment. The Directors may authorise such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified.

(The Company has yet to declare and pay any dividends, and the Board is not able to indicate when and if dividends will be paid in the future, as payment of any dividend will depend on future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.)

Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, divide the Company’s property among the shareholders and may for that purpose set such a value as the liquidator considers fair and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the shareholders according to their rights and interests in the Company.

Transfer of Shares

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.

The Directors of the Company may refuse to register any transfer of Shares, (other than a market transfer) where the Company is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Company must not prevent, delay or interfere with the registration of a proper market transfer in a manner which is contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Variation of rights

The rights attached to a class of shares in the Company may be varied or abrogated in any way with the consent in writing of three quarters of the holders of shares of that class or by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of holders of the shares of that class. This does not apply if the terms of shares in a class state otherwise.

Beneficial ownership of Shares

Except as required by law, the Company must not recognise a person as holding a Share upon any trust.

22

The Company, unless otherwise provided by the Constitution or by law, is not bound by or compelled in any way, to recognise any equitable, future or partial interest in any Share or unit of a Share, or any other rights in respect to the Share, except an absolute right of ownership in the registered holder.

Meetings of the Company’s members

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company must hold an annual general meeting at least once each year.

Any Director may, whenever he or she thinks fit, call a meeting of the Company’s members. The Directors must convene a meeting of the Company’s members on request of members in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act.

No business will be transacted at any meeting of the Company’s members unless a quorum is present. Three members constitute a quorum.

Alteration to the constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the votes of the Shareholders present and voting at a general meeting. At least 28 days written notice must be given of the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution.

ASX Listing Rules

Because the Company is listed on the ASX, notwithstanding anything in the Constitution, if the ASX Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. If the ASX Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done, and if a provision is required in the Constitution by the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution will be treated as containing that provision. If any provision of the Constitution becomes inconsistent with the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution will be treated as not containing that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

6.2 Rights and liabilities of the New Options

The New Options will be issued on the following terms and conditions.

Entitlement to Shares

Subject to and conditional upon any adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below, each New Option entitles the holder, when validly exercised, to one Share upon payment of the exercise price prior to the expiry date.

Exercise price

The exercise price of each New Option shall be 2.5 cents (" Exercise Price ").

Exercise period and expiry date

The New Options may be exercised at any time on or before 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on 30 June 2014 (" Expiry Date ") by lodging with the Company before the Expiry Date a written notice of exercise specifying the number of New Options being exercised (" Exercise Notice "), accompanied by a bank cheque for payment of the Exercise Price for that number of New Options being exercised, at the address below:

The Directors Goldsearch Limited Level 4 20 Loftus Street SYDNEY NSW 2000

An Exercise Notice is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cleared funds.

New Options not exercised by the Expiry Date lapse.

23

Quotation of New Options

The Company will apply for quotation of the New Options on the ASX.

Freely transferable

New Options which have not been exercised are freely transferable in whole or in part at any time prior to the Expiry Date.

Quotation of Shares on exercise

All Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Options will rank equally in all respects with the Company's then existing fully paid ordinary shares and will be issued within 10 business days following receipt of the Exercise Notice and the Exercise Price (in cleared funds). The Company will apply for quotation of all Shares issued upon exercise of the New Options within 10 business days after the date of allotment of those Shares.

Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders of the New Options will not be entitled to participate in any new issues of securities which may be offered to shareholders of the Company from time to time prior to the Expiry Date. However, before the record date to determine entitlements to any such new issue of securities, the Company will notify the holders of the New Options of the proposed new issue in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

Participation rights

The New Options confer on their holders a right to a change in the Exercise Price where there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares. In such circumstances, the Exercise Price of the New Options may be reduced according to the formula set out in Listing Rule 6.22.

Dividend rights

The New Options do not confer on their holders any right to participate in dividends until Shares are allotted pursuant to the exercise of the New Options, after which, such Shares will qualify for any dividend paid on the fully paid ordinary shares in the Company with a record date after the date of allotment of the Shares.

Reconstruction of capital

In the event of a reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, return or reduction of the issued capital of the Company), the rights of the holders of New Options shall be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

Bonus issues

If, from time to time, before the expiry of the New Options, the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares to the holders of Shares for no consideration (a " Bonus Issue "), the number of Shares over which a New Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the New Option had been exercised prior to the record date for calculating entitlements to the Bonus Issue. The exercise price of the New Options shall not change as a result of any such Bonus Issue.

Calculations

Any calculations of a change in the Exercise Price or a change to the number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the New Options required under these terms and conditions will be made by the Company, notified to the holders of the New Options in writing and will be binding on the holders of the New Options.

6.3 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

24

6.4 Expenses of the Rights Issue

The estimated cash expenses of the Rights Issue are approximately $197,000 (exclusive of GST). This includes a provision of $70,000 (exclusive of GST) payable to the Broker to the Rights Issue on the placement of any Shortfall Shares, on account of fees that may become payable by the Company as outlined in paragraph (a) of section 5.1 of the Prospectus.

6.8 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under both the Corporations Act and Listing Rules. Copies of the documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office.

These reporting and disclosure obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the market. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it becomes aware concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities in the Company. All announcements made by the Company are available on the Company's website www.goldsearch.com.au or on the ASX’s website www.asx.com.au.

The board of Directors have adopted a policy on compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have a material effect on the Company's securities and the consequences of non compliance.

6.9 Legal framework of this Prospectus

This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" and is issued in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. In general terms, a transaction specific prospectus is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. 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.

28

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 enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the requirements of ASX as applicable to disclosing entities from time to time, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

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 ASX maintains files containing publicly disclosed information for all listed companies. The Company's file is available for inspection at ASX during normal working hours. In addition, copies of documents lodged by, or in relation to, the Company with ASIC may be obtained from, or inspected at, any regional office of ASIC.

6.10 Documents available to investors

The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC both yearly and half yearly financial statements accompanied by a Directors' statement and report and an auditor's report. These reports are released to ASX and published on the Company and ASX websites.

During the period that the Rights Issue remains open, the Company will provide on request from any person, a copy of the following documents (without charge):

  • (a) the Company’s audited annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012; and

  • (b) any continuous disclosure notices (including those listed below) given by the Company to ASX after the lodgement of the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012 and before the date of this Prospectus.

The following documents were lodged with ASX after the date of lodgement of the Company's financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012 most recently lodged with ASIC before the lodgement of a copy of this Prospectus with ASIC:

Dear Shareholder

Non-renounceable rights issue

This letter is to notify you that on 28 December 2012 Goldsearch Limited (the " Company " or " Goldsearch ") lodged a Prospectus (" Prospectus ") with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for a 1 for 1 non-renounceable rights issue (" Rights Issue ") of fully paid ordinary shares (" New Shares ") at an issue price of 1.0 cent per New Share together with 1 attaching New Option exercisable at 2.5 cents on or before 30 June 2014 for every 1 New Share issued. You will receive your copy of the Prospectus shortly.

The New Shares will rank equally with existing shares. Goldsearch has applied for official quotation of the New Shares and the New Options.

A copy of the Prospectus has also been lodged with ASX Limited (" ASX ") and can be viewed on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) and on Goldsearch's website (www.goldsearch.com.au).

Trading of the New Shares, once issued, will commence on the ASX on 6 February 2013, on a deferred settlement basis. Normal trading of the New Shares is expected to commence on 14 February 2013.

The New Options will only commence trading on the ASX if the ASX approves the quotation of the New Options. It is expected that the Company will be able to advise if the ASX approves the quotation of the New Options by 15 February 2013.

This rights issue offer is only made to shareholders with an address inside Australia or New Zealand. Eligible shareholders may also apply for additional New Shares over and above their entitlement in the event of a shortfall.

This offer is not underwritten.

The key information and dates are set out below for your information.

Summary of key information

Type of offer: 1 for 1 non-renounceable Rights Issue of 533,276,517 New Shares (and 1 attaching New Option for every 1 New Share issued) to security holders with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand as at the Record Date.

Proposed timetable

The current proposed timetable for the Rights Issue is as follows:

Prospectus date: 28 December 2012
Date existing shares quoted ex-rights 3 January 2013
Record Date: 9 January 2013
Prospectus mailing date: 15 January 2013
Closing Date for receiving applications 5 February 2013
Despatch date – issue of New Shares and 13 February 2013
New Options

The above dates are subject to change and are therefore indicative only. The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to amend the indicative timetable and in particular, to extend the Closing Date or to withdraw the Rights Issue without prior notice. Any extension of the Closing Date will have a consequent effect on the date of allotment and issue of New Shares and New Options.

Eligible Shareholders

The shareholders who are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue are those shareholders registered as holders of shares at the Record Date (Wednesday 9 January 2013) and with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.

All shareholders who are not eligible shareholders, are ineligible shareholders.

Ineligible Shareholders

Ineligible shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue. The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Rights Issue to ineligible shareholders having regard to the number of securities held by ineligible shareholders and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of securities to ineligible shareholders in various jurisdictions. We trust you understand the Company's position on this matter.

Boardroom Pty Limited

Telephone: 1300 737 760 (from within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9600 (from outside of Australia)

The directors of the Company urge you to read the Prospectus carefully and seek advice from your professional advisers if you have any questions. This letter is to inform you of the Rights Issue. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter.

Yours faithfully GOLDSEARCH LIMITED

Notice is hereby given to you in your capacity as a holder of the options (" Your Existing Options ") that GSE is proposing to make a non-renounceable rights issue of new ordinary shares in GSE to shareholders in GSE on the basis of offering 1 new ordinary share for every 1 ordinary share held in GSE as at 7.00 pm on 9 January 2012 at 1.0 cent per new share (together with 1 attaching new option exercisable at 2.5 cents on or before 30 June 2014 for every 1 new share issued).

If you wish to be entitled to participate in the proposed renounceable rights issue in respect of Your Existing Options, then you must exercise Your Existing Options prior to the record date of 7.00 pm on 9 January 2013.

Dear Overseas Shareholder

Non Renounceable Rights Issue of New Shares and Attaching New Option

The directors of Goldsearch Limited advise that they have on 28 December 2012 lodged a Prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for a 1 for 1 non renounceable Rights Issue of approximately 533,276,517 New Shares at an issue price of 1.0 cent per New Share (together with 1 attaching New Option for every 1 New Share issued exercisable at 2.5 cents on or before 30 June 2014) to raise approximately $5.3 million.

Only shareholders registered with addresses in Australia and New Zealand will receive an entitlement to the Rights Issue on the basis of 1 New Share for every 1 ordinary share registered in their name at 7.00 pm on 9 January 2013. Our records indicate that you are a shareholder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand and therefore you are an ineligible shareholder. As an ineligible shareholder you are unable to participate in the Rights Issue under the Prospectus.

The directors have decided that it is unreasonable to extend the offer to shareholders with addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand having regard to:

  1. the small number of shareholders in the place where the offer would be made;

  2. the fact that those shareholders hold a relatively small number of shares in aggregate which would involve a relatively small entitlement to the Rights Issue in both number and value; and

  3. the cost of complying with legal requirements and the requirements of the regulatory authorities in each of the relevant countries.

If you wish to participate in the Rights Issue it will be necessary for you to transfer your shares to a nominee with an address in Australia or New Zealand by 9 January 2013 which is the Record Date for the Rights Issue provided that does not breach any law in your country.
