3. RISK FACTORS
-
Introduction
An investment in the securities the subject of this Prospectus is highly speculative. The Company is a resource exploration and development company. The Company's key project is the Speewah Specialty Metals Project in the East Kimberley of Western Australia where it has partially completed a Prefeasibility Study based on scaling the Project to produce high purity alumina (HPA). Vanadium (V2O5), titanium (TiO2) and iron (Fe oxide) will be investigated as co-products at a later stage. The Company additionally has the Mt Remarkable Project in Western Australia prospective for gold and the Tennant Creek Project in the Northern Territory prospective for iron oxide copper-gold. All Projects are 100% owned by the Company.
The resource exploration and development activities of the Company are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. The following is a non- exhaustive list of the risks that may have a material effect on the financial position and performance of the Company and the value of its securities, as well as the Company's exploration, development and any mining activities and an ability to fund those activities.
The specific risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a specific nature by reason of its proposed involvement in the resources industry. The general investment risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a general economic nature. - Specific risks
Future capital needs and additional funding
The Company's ability to raise capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including the success of the exploration and development programs, feasibility studies, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.
One of the future matters requiring further funding is likely to be funding a leaching precipitation plant at the Speewah Specialty Metals Project to produce high purity alumina (HPA). This will likely require significant funding.
No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to further develop its Projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Results of Studies
Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to the Projects. These studies may include scoping, prefeasibility and definitive bankable feasibility studies. Currently, the Company has partly completed a Prefeasibility Study on the Speewah Specialty Metals Project.
Such studies need to be completed within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the Projects within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Projects or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (eg the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a scoping study).
10
Even if a study confirms the economic viability of a Project, there can be no guarantee that the Project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study (eg operational costs and commodity prices) once production commences. Further, the ability of the Company to complete a study may be dependent on the Company's ability to raise further funds.
Exploration
The Company intends to undertake further exploration at its Projects which is a high risk undertaking. In particular, the Company will focus on high priority gold targets at the Mt Remarkable Project and iron-oxidecopper-gold targets at the Tennant Creek Project.
There can be no assurance of success from the Company's exploration activities.
Development and mining
Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company's Projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/or delineate economically recoverable ore bodies, unfavourable geological conditions, failing to receive the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, unseasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, unexpected shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, risk of access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from any third parties providing essential services.
In the event that the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions and other accidents.
HPA and commodity price volatility
The Company's primary Project is the Speewah Specialty Metals Project that is reliant on the price of HPA as well as featuring vanadium, titanium and iron. The Mt Remarkable and Tennant Creek Projects rely on the price of gold and copper and gold respectively.
The prices of HPA as well as gold, copper, vanadium, titanium and iron fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include worldwide and regional supply and demand, forward selling by producers and production cost levels, general world economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors on both a regional and global basis. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company's development and production plans and activities, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
Reliance on key personnel
The Company's success largely depends on the core competencies of its Directors and any management and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate in, the resource and development industries.
11
Resource and Reserve estimates
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, Resource and Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made.
Additionally, Resource and Reserve estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. If the Company encounters mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, Resource and Reserve estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company's operations.
Title
All of the tenements or licences in which the Company has or may earn an interest in will be subject to applications for renewal or grant (as the case may be). The renewal or grant of the terms of each tenement or licence is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority.
Additionally, tenements are subject to a number of State and Territory specific legislative conditions including payment of rent and meeting minimum annual expenditure commitments. The inability to meet these conditions could affect the standing of a tenement or restrict its ability to be renewed.
If a tenement or licence expires, is not renewed or granted, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.
Native title and land access
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is a significant uncertainty associated with native title in Australia and this may impact upon the Company's operations and future plans.
It is important to note that the existence of a native title claim is not an indication that native title in fact exists to the land covered by the claim, as this is a matter ultimately determined by the Federal Court. 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 Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of mining operations.
Environmental
The Company's Projects are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. The Governments and other authorities that administer and enforce environmental laws and regulations determine these requirements. As with all exploration projects and any subsequent mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral
12
deposits.
Further, the Company may require additional approvals from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
COVID-19 pandemic risk
The COVID-19 pandemic has and, until development of a vaccine, may continue to significantly adversely affect world economic conditions including economic conditions for companies with projects in Australia.
Various governments have imposed restrictions on the movement of people and goods as a measure to seek to slow and contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Social distancing measures have and may continue to be implemented. Various stages of restriction could be implemented.
Development of the Company's Projects may be delayed or curtailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or measures to contain it.
Insurance
The Company may maintain insurance within ranges of coverage that it believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. However, it is not always possible to cost-effectively insure against all risks associated with such activities. The Company may decide not to take out insurance against certain risks as a result of high premiums or for other reasons. Should liabilities arise on uninsured risks, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and the market price of the Shares may be materially adversely affected.
Legal Proceedings
Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the business of the Company. As at the date of this Prospectus, there are no material legal proceedings affecting the Company and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company.
Climate Change Regulation
Mining of mineral resources is relatively energy intensive and is dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. Increased regulation and government policy designed to mitigate climate change may adversely affect the Company's cost of operations and adversely impact the financial performance of the Company.
3.3 General investment risks
Securities investments and share market conditions
There are risks associated with any securities investment. The trading prices of securities trade fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may
13
materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company's operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.
Economic risk
Changes in both Australia and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.
Legislative
Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and government policies in Australia may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.
