Section 1<br />

Key Points<br />

• The Company’s objective is to become a profitable producer. Initially the Company will be a<br />

single project company developing the underground Sand Queen Gold Mine in joint venture<br />

with Reed Resources Limited. The Joint Venture is currently only over the underground<br />

mining potential of the Joint Venture tenement area (Initial Tenements) and all reference to<br />

the Sand Queen Gold Mine is a reference to the underground gold and silver potentials of<br />

such tenements.<br />

• The Company will issue a total of 26,250,000 Shares, 11,000,000 Convertible Notes<br />

(a total of $2,200,000 face value) and repay moneys under the Asset Sale Agreement and<br />

associated debt conversion agreements in order to acquire the Joint Venture interest and<br />

discharge various debt.<br />

• The Company is aiming for the Sand Queen Gold Mine to be in full scale commercial<br />

production in the first quarter of 2008 based on the resources outlined in the Independent<br />

Geologist’s Report and the development work carried out to date.<br />

• The resource outlined in the Joint Venture area is 190,498 tonnes at 12.1 grams of gold per<br />

tonne (JORC Code category indicated resources) and 169,707 tonnes at 11.4 grams of gold<br />

per tonne (JORC Code category inferred resources), giving an in ground resource of 136,518<br />

ounces of gold. In accordance with JORC Code requirements the Independent Geologist has<br />

rounded these resources to 360,200 tonnes at 12 grams of gold a tonne for a total of 136,500<br />

ounces of gold.<br />

• The Company’s joint venture interest in this resource will be 50%. To earn this 50% the<br />

Company must pay all costs of mining. Under a similar arrangement for the area below<br />

the 243 metre level the Company will earn 60% of the gold. Details of the joint venture<br />

obligations are in Schedule 2 to the Solicitor’s Report in section 10.<br />

• The Company will also seek to pursue complementary opportunities that the Directors<br />

consider have the potential to add value.<br />

• The Company has a Board with mining, exploration, project evaluation and corporate skills<br />

to oversee developments as they arise, however it may seek additional skilled personnel to<br />

ensure maximum benefit for Shareholders.<br />

• An investment in the Shares the subject of this <strong>Prospectus</strong> is highly speculative as a result of<br />

the nature of the Company’s business as an early stage production company. No investment<br />

should be made if the loss of that investment would have a temporary or permanent material<br />

effect on the personal financial circumstances of the investor.<br />

• Specific and general risk factors are outlined in section 7. Significant risks for a producing<br />

company are that there can be no assurance that the resources to be mined will maintain the<br />

forecast grade and tonnage and that treatment will achieve the forecast recovery of gold. By<br />

the Joint Venture Agreement the Company will be at risk to lose its Joint Venture interest<br />

if the gold production milestone of 25,000 ounces of gold is not achieved by 31 May 2009.<br />

The actual price of gold in the future cannot be forecast with any certainty. Development of<br />

further resources, either within the Comet Vale Joint Venture area or in new projects is also<br />

inherently uncertain, as are all input costs and the availability of skilled personnel.<br />

This information is a selective overview only and should be read in conjunction with the more<br />

detailed information appearing elsewhere in this <strong>Prospectus</strong>. Investors should read this <strong>Prospectus</strong><br />

in its entirety and not rely solely on this overview.<br />

Section 2<br />

Chairman’s Letter<br />

Dear Investor,<br />

On behalf of the Directors of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited, it is my pleasure to invite you to become a<br />

Shareholder in the Company.<br />

The Company’s objective is to become a successful producer of gold. Our first project is to continue the<br />

underground development of the Sand Queen Gold Mine at Comet Vale in Western Australia. The Comet<br />

Vale Joint Venture interest which the Company will acquire is a significant asset; the Joint Venture has already<br />

produced gold from ore mined during development and has a current stockpile of ore ready to be processed.<br />

The Sand Queen Gold Mine is a high grade underground project which has been re-developed as a producing<br />

mine over the last two years.<br />

The Company’s joint venture partner, Reed Resources Ltd, has carried out significant exploration on the<br />

mining leases on which the Sand Queen Gold Mine is situated.<br />

Indicated and Inferred resources identified to date include 360,200 tonnes at an average of 12 g/t. Three<br />

parcels of mainly development ore have been processed at the toll treatment facility and subsequently sold.<br />

Recovered ounces totalled, 643ozs, 1,006ozs and 1,529ozs respectively. Our share was 50% less a 2% royalty<br />

resulting in net revenue to the Company of $611,602. New development on the 3 level continues to open up<br />

stoping blocks thereby enabling the extraction of anticipated higher grade ore tonnage in subsequent milling<br />

parcels.<br />

Under the terms of the Joint Venture interest being acquired, the Company is responsible for all costs of<br />

developing and mining of the ore. Reed Resources Ltd is responsible for all transport and treatment costs as<br />

well as tenement management. If 25,000 ounces of gold is recovered by May 2009 then the Company will have<br />

earned and be registered as 50% owner of the Joint Venture tenements.<br />

The project is described in greater detail in the Company and Project Overview section and the Independent<br />

Geologist’s Report. Risks of exploration, development, mining and treatment are addressed in further detail in<br />

the Risks section.<br />

The Board brings together technical and corporate experience in the fields of mining, exploration and project<br />

evaluation.<br />

The Board has experience in running public companies in a cost effective manner to ensure that maximum<br />

benefit is gained from company funds. Day-to-day mining and development will be carried out by Westralmen<br />

Pty Ltd. The personnel of Westralmen Pty Ltd are currently working at the Sand Queen Gold Mine. Corporate<br />

management activities will be carried out by David Hatch as managing director and, where necessary, the<br />

Board as a whole.<br />

The Company will be actively reviewing and assessing other projects. The Company is seeking to raise<br />

$6,000,000 at Full Subscription.<br />

Details of our interest in the Comet Vale Joint Venture, our proposed activities and the investment risks are<br />

contained in this <strong>Prospectus</strong>. Please study this document carefully and seek professional advice if necessary to<br />

make an informed decision.<br />

On behalf of the Directors, I commend this Offer to you and look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder<br />

in the Company.<br />

Yours sincerely<br />

John Morris<br />

Chairman<br />

significant proportion of such Shares will be restricted securities and subject to ASX escrow restrictions.<br />

of this <strong>Prospectus</strong> in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into<br />

possession of this <strong>Prospectus</strong> should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply<br />

with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities law. No action has been taken to<br />

register or qualify the Shares or otherwise permit a public offering of the Shares the subject of this <strong>Prospectus</strong><br />

in any jurisdiction outside Australia.<br />

It is the responsibility of Applicants outside Australia to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment<br />

and issue of Shares under this <strong>Prospectus</strong>. The return of a completed Application Form will be taken by the<br />

Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all relevant approvals have been<br />

4.9 CHESS<br />

The Company will apply to participate in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS). CHESS<br />

statement of their holdings in the Company. If an investor is broker sponsored, ASTC will send a CHESS<br />

statement.<br />

4.10 Privacy Act<br />

Application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments (if made) and send corporate<br />

communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.<br />

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders<br />

for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office,<br />

authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Share Registry.<br />

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the<br />

Company or the Share Registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this <strong>Prospectus</strong>.<br />

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including<br />

the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASTC Settlement Rules.<br />

You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the Application Form, the Company<br />

may not be able to accept or process your Application and, accordingly, you may not be allotted any Shares.<br />

4.11 No Prospective Financial Forecasts<br />

The Directors have considered the matters outlined in ASIC Policy Statement 170. Given that the Company<br />

is an early stage gold production company and the highly speculative nature of development and production,<br />

the Company considers that it is unable to provide potential investors with any reliable revenue, profit or cash<br />

flow projections or forecasts.<br />

• To become a successful gold miner, exploiting narrow vein, high grade projects.<br />

• To seek to generate cash flows so that the Company may continue to acquire and develop projects that<br />

most suit the Company portfolio.<br />

The project the Company will use to initiate these strategies will be the underground Sand Queen Gold Mine in<br />

Western Australia. The Company is proposing a development spend of approximately $2,500,000 in the next 2<br />

years.<br />

The Directors are confident that the proposed program is realistic and that modern mining techniques will be<br />

applied to seek to obtain maximum benefit from the Company’s funds.<br />

Other complementary resource projects will be considered for acquisition if they have the potential to add value<br />

to the Company. Any such acquisition may or may not bring their own experienced management person(s).<br />

Commencement of the Joint Venture<br />

In May, 2005 the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust entered into a joint venture agreement to develop two mining leases and<br />

one miscellaneous licence collectively called the Comet Vale Joint Venture.<br />

The joint venture agreement required the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust to develop the mine. Reed Resources Ltd is<br />

responsible for exploration, toll treatment and transport of the ore. Since May 2005 a significant amount of<br />

development work has occurred and ore recovered during development has been processed and further ore<br />

is awaiting processing. The development ore processed to date has been sold resulting in net revenue to the<br />

Company of $611,602 (reflecting the Company’s 50% share less a 2% royalty.<br />

Acquisition of the Joint Venture interest<br />

The Company will acquire the joint venture interest of the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust by way of a deed which<br />

will place the Company in the same position as the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust. The Company will maintain<br />

existing personnel and equipment and seamlessly continue the development work previously carried out.<br />

The Company has engaged Westralmen Pty Ltd to conduct day to day mining and development. The senior<br />

personnel of Westralmen are currently employees of the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust. The Company will have access<br />

to required information from both Reed Resources Ltd in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement and the<br />

information held by the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust.<br />

Joint Venture and Transaction Details<br />

The initial May 2005 joint venture between Reed Resources Ltd and the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust will continue as<br />

a joint venture between Reed Resources Ltd and <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited by way of the Asset Sale Agreement<br />

between the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust and <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited and a Deed of Assumption between the<br />

relevant parties.<br />

The Joint Venture Agreement as amended provides that the Company is responsible for all costs of developing<br />

and mining of the ore. Reed Resources Ltd is responsible for all transport and treatment costs as well as<br />

tenement management. Reed Resources Ltd has acknowledged that it is responsible for surface exploration of<br />

the tenements. This means that the Company’s exploration costs are limited to any underground exploration<br />

and mine development costs.<br />

The Company will be entitled to 50% of the gold produced within the project area up to and including a depth<br />

of 243 metres. The Company’s product entitlement in respect of gold ore produced within the project area from<br />

a depth exceeding 243 metres will be 60% whilst Reed Resources Ltd’s product entitlement will be 40%.<br />

By the Joint Venture Agreement as amended a gold production milestone of 25,000 ounces of gold ore is to<br />

be achieved by 31 May 2009. If the Company achieves this milestone, it will be issued with a 50% registered<br />

interest in the Initial Tenements. If the gold production milestone is not met, Reed Resources Ltd may terminate<br />

the agreement, in which case, the Company’s Joint Venture interest will be reduced to zero.<br />

Section 5<br />

Company and Project Overview<br />

Reed Resources Ltd will extend to the Company a first right of refusal over all the Comet Vale Tenements to<br />

form a joint venture in similar nature to that formed over the Initial Tenements.<br />

This right is subject to the following:<br />

• The rights are to be over gold and silver.<br />

• The rights exclude any open pitable ore down to a depth of 50 metres from the surface.<br />

• <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Ltd must complete at least 500 metres of level development on level 4 or level 5 of<br />

the Sand Queen Gold Mine by 31 May 2009 to earn this right. No development on these levels have<br />

been completed to date.<br />

• <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Ltd earns no right to equity in the title of any tenements other than the Initial<br />

Tenements.<br />

Reed Resources Ltd has also agreed that it will not commence open pit operation at any place that would<br />

jeopardise or limit underground mining reasonably expected to occur given the underground resources<br />

identified at the time of commencing any open pit mine.<br />

Details of the material contracts and their terms are set out in Schedule 2 to the Solicitor’s Report in section 10<br />

and section 11.<br />

Development to date<br />

The <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust commenced the development program in May 2005. Since then it has rehabilitated<br />

the Sand King and the Sand Queen shaft to level 3, just above the water table and pushed out development<br />

faces along level 2 (about 487 metres) and along level 3 (about 392 metres along strike).<br />

The <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust has established a Return Airway/Secondary Means of Exit from surface down to<br />

the 2 level, near the old Sand King workings. The shaft has been rehabilitated down to level 3 with the water<br />

being held 10m below level 3 (i.e a total of 110m below surface). All surface infrastructure is in place.<br />

An operational hoist - (A 25kW Robbins MAN-09) and service hoist is in place. The winder is capable of<br />

moving a large amount of ore under continuous operation, but mining constraints mean the shaft is limited<br />

to a calculated maximum capacity of 192t of material a day or 5,800t per month. The mine development plan<br />

takes into account these restraints, and reflects an anticipated production capacity of 5,500t per month when<br />

level 4 comes on line with a second haulage winder established over the central shaft compartment.<br />

The Company currently employs 6 to 7 miners on site, and expects to stay on 2 shifts once level 3 production<br />

comes on line. <strong>Mining</strong> is conducted using pneumatic airleg drilling tools. The mine is a fully mechanized mine<br />

using battery powered locomotives hauling ore cars on a rail network throughout the Sand Queen Gold Mine.<br />

The current working level has 120m of rail development in ore along with 90m of sublevel development ready<br />

for stoping. This opens the mine to potentially bring online a 10,500 tonne gallery stope. The further 90m<br />

of rail development scheduled for completion in November means two further 10,000 tonne stopes can be<br />

developed to come online. Current sampling of the orebody indicates potential upside to the block modelled<br />

grade.<br />

Investors are referred to the Independent Geologist’s Report for a geological overview of the Comet Vale Joint<br />

Venture.<br />

Royalty<br />

MTAB Pty Ltd holds a 2% gross revenue royalty over the gold production of the Joint Venture area. MTAB Pty<br />

Ltd is a company related to certain directors of Reed Resources Ltd. The board and management of <strong>Kingsrose</strong><br />

<strong>Mining</strong> Limited have no interest in MTAB Pty Ltd. <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited will be required to pay its<br />

proportion of royalty costs from gold credited to its account by the Joint Venture.<br />

Personnel<br />

The successful exploitation of the mine to full capacity will require sourcing additional skilled miners. The<br />

Company has already sourced a number of overseas miners and they are scheduled to arrive in January 2008.<br />

Headframe at dusk. The Company owns the headframe and associated mining equipment.


As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope the implementation of additional corporate<br />

governance structures will be given further consideration.<br />

The Board sets out below its “if not, why not” report in relation to those matters of corporate governance<br />

where the Company’s practices depart from the recommendations.<br />

Recommendation<br />

Reference –<br />

ASX Guidelines<br />

2.1<br />

Notification of Departure<br />

No Majority of<br />

Independent Directors.<br />

Explanation for Departure<br />

The Board considers that the Company is not currently of<br />

a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the<br />

appointment of a majority of independent non-executive<br />

Directors.<br />

The Board believes that the individuals on the Board can<br />

make, and do make, quality and independent judgements<br />

in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues.<br />

Directors having a conflict of interest in relation to a<br />

particular item of business must absent themselves from<br />

the Board meeting before commencement of discussion on<br />

the topic.<br />

Mr Hatch as managing director and Mr Phillips as<br />

a substantial shareholder are not considered by the<br />

Board to be independent in terms of the ASX Corporate<br />

Governance Council’s definition of independent director.<br />

2.4<br />

A separate Nomination<br />

Committee has not been<br />

formed.<br />

The Board considers that the Company is not currently of<br />

a size to justify the formation of a nomination committee.<br />

The Board as a whole undertakes the process of reviewing<br />

the skill base and experience of existing Directors to<br />

enable identification or attributes required in new<br />

Directors. Where appropriate, independent consultants<br />

will be engaged to identify possible new candidates for the<br />

Board.<br />

4.1, 4.2, 4.3<br />

A separate Audit<br />

Committee has not been<br />

formed.<br />

The Board considers that the Company is not of a size,<br />

nor are its financial affairs of such complexity to justify<br />

the formation of an audit committee. The Board as a<br />

whole undertakes the selection and proper application of<br />

accounting policies, the integrity of financial reporting,<br />

the identification and management of risk and review of<br />

the operation of the internal control systems.<br />

8.1<br />

There is no separate<br />

Remuneration Committee.<br />

The Board considers that the Company is not currently of<br />

a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the<br />

formation of a remuneration committee. The Board as a<br />

whole is responsible for the remuneration arrangements<br />

for Directors and executives of the Company and<br />

considers it more appropriate to set aside time at Board<br />

meetings each year to specifically address matters that<br />

would ordinarily fall to a remuneration committee.<br />

Section 7<br />

Risk Factors<br />

7.1 Introduction<br />

An investment in the Shares the subject of this <strong>Prospectus</strong> is highly speculative as the Company is a gold<br />

mining company. The Board recommends that investors consider the risks described below and information<br />

contained elsewhere in this <strong>Prospectus</strong>, as well as consulting with their professional advisers before deciding<br />

whether or not to apply for the Shares.<br />

The following is a non-exhaustive list of the risks that may have a material effect on the financial position and<br />

performance of the Company and the value of its securities, as well as the Company’s development and mining<br />

activities and an ability to fund those activities.<br />

The risks below are some of the risks specific to the Company including by reason of its involvement in the<br />

resource industry. The general investment risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a general<br />

economic nature.<br />

7.2 Specific Risks<br />

Development and <strong>Mining</strong><br />

Possible future development of mining operations at any of the Company’s projects is dependent on a<br />

number of factors and avoiding various risks including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/or delineate<br />

economically recoverable ore bodies, unfavourable geological conditions, failing to receive the necessary<br />

approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, unseasonal weather patterns, excessive seasonal weather<br />

patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production<br />

activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, unexpected shortages or increases in the price<br />

of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, risk of access to the required level of<br />

funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.<br />

In production, operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the Company’s<br />

control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual<br />

or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather<br />

conditions and fires, explosions and other accidents.<br />

By the Joint Venture Agreement the Company will be at risk to lose its Joint Venture interest if a gold<br />

production milestone of 25,000 ounces of gold is not achieved by 31 May 2009.<br />

Resource Estimations<br />

Resources estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As<br />

such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made.<br />

Additionally, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the<br />

Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling,<br />

sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect<br />

the Company’s operations. In particular, high grade, quartz vein mines of which the Sand Queen Gold<br />

Mine is an example do not have uniform grade throughout their resources and resource width, indicated by<br />

mineralized drill intersections cannot always be extrapolated between holes.<br />

Exploration<br />

Investors should understand that gold exploration, development and mining is by its nature a high risk<br />

undertaking. There can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration of its existing projects or any other<br />

exploration or mining projects that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of a significant<br />

mineral resource. Even if a further significant mineral resource is identified, there can be no guarantee that it<br />

can be economically exploited or that the Sand Queen Gold Mine will be economically viable.<br />

Title<br />

All of the tenements or licences in which the Company has or may earn an interest in will be subject to<br />

applications for renewal or grant (as the case may be). The renewal or grant of the terms of each tenement or<br />

licence is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority.<br />

Page 14


Additionally, tenements are subject to a number of State specific legislative conditions including payment of<br />

rent and meeting minimum annual expenditure commitments. The inability to meet these conditions could<br />

affect the standing of a tenement or restrict its ability to be renewed.<br />

If a tenement or licence is not renewed or granted, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of<br />

the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.<br />

The Company currently has a contractual joint venture interest in the tenements listed in Schedule 1 to the<br />

Solicitor’s Report in section 10. For further information on these tenements, refer to the Solicitor’s Report in<br />

section 10.<br />

Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage<br />

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and<br />

Torres Straight Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There<br />

is a significant uncertainty associated with native title in Australia and this may impact upon the Company’s<br />

operations and future plans.<br />

Native title can be extinguished by valid grants of land or waters to people other than the native title holders<br />

or by valid use of land or waters. It can also be extinguished if the indigenous group has lost their connection<br />

with the relevant land or waters. Native title is not necessarily extinguished by the grant of mining licences,<br />

although a valid mining lease prevails over native title to the extent of any inconsistency for the duration of<br />

the title.<br />

All tenements granted prior to 1 January 1994 are valid or validated by the Native Title Act. For tenements to<br />

be validly granted (or renewed) after 1 January 1994 the future act regime established by the Native Title Act<br />

must be followed.<br />

It is important to note that the existence of a native title claim is not an indication that native title in fact exists<br />

to the land covered by the claim, as this is a matter ultimately determined by the Federal Court. If native<br />

title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of<br />

any relevant landowner) or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of<br />

operations may be adversely affected.<br />

The Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage<br />

survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of mining operations.<br />

A discussion of native title and the claims is contained in the Solicitor’s Report in section 10 of this <strong>Prospectus</strong>.<br />

Contractual Risk<br />

The Company is party to the Joint Venture Agreement and the mining contract service agreement which are<br />

summarised respectively in Schedule 2 to the Solicitors Report and in section 11. The Company is reliant upon<br />

the contractual parties complying with their obligations.<br />

Environmental<br />

The Company’s projects are subject to Commonwealth and State laws and regulations regarding environmental<br />

matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company’s<br />

projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development<br />

of any of the Company’s projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and,<br />

where required, being approved by government authorities.<br />

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance<br />

with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may<br />

compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications. The<br />

Company has a joint obligation with Reed Resources Ltd to comply with environmental and rehabilitation<br />

obligations while it is a party to the joint venture.<br />

Page 15


Section 7<br />

Risk Factors<br />

Commodity Price Volatility<br />

It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of gold or other<br />

precious and base metals. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of<br />

those commodities and the terms of any offtake agreements which it enters into.<br />

Gold and metal prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company.<br />

These factors include world demand for gold and metals, forward selling by producers and production cost<br />

levels in major mineral-producing regions.<br />

Moreover, gold and metal prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding<br />

inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, gold or the relevant metal (as the<br />

case may be) as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the<br />

Company’s development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.<br />

Reliance on Key Personnel<br />

The Company’s success largely depends on the core competencies of its Directors and management and their<br />

familiarisation with, and ability to operate in, the metals and mining industry and the Company’s ability to<br />

retain its key executives. The efficient exploitation of the mine also requires the Company to access additional<br />

skilled miners. The Company has already sourced a number of overseas miners and they are scheduled to<br />

arrive in January 2008.<br />

Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding<br />

The funds raised by the Offer will be used to carry out the Company’s objectives (as detailed in this<br />

<strong>Prospectus</strong>). The Company’s ability to raise further capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of<br />

a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors,<br />

including:<br />

• prospectivity of projects (existing and future);<br />

• the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining;<br />

• stock market and industry conditions; and<br />

• the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.<br />

No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at<br />

all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to further develop<br />

its projects and it may impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.<br />

Limited Operational History<br />

While the Company’s management has significant experience and has previously carried out or been exposed<br />

to exploration and production activities, (including the Sand Queen Gold Mine) while employed or engaged<br />

by other companies, the Company will only have beneficial interest in the Joint Venture following settlement<br />

of the acquisition of the Joint Venture interest. Accordingly, the Company has limited historical, financial or<br />

operating information. The Company’s ability to achieve its objectives depends on the ability of its Directors<br />

and officers to implement current plans and to respond to any unforeseen circumstances that require changes<br />

to those plans.<br />

Competition<br />

The Company competes with other companies, including major mineral exploration and mining companies.<br />

These companies will likely have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may<br />

be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. Many of the Company’s competitors not<br />

only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out downstream operations on these and other products<br />

on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these<br />

companies.<br />

Page 16


Potential Acquisitions<br />

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in other<br />

resource projects. Any such transactions would be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in making<br />

such acquisitions.<br />

7.3 General Risks<br />

Securities Investments and Share Market Conditions<br />

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may<br />

fluctuate in response to a number of factors.<br />

Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may<br />

experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating<br />

performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the<br />

securities of the Company regardless of the Company’s operational performance. Neither the Company nor<br />

the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.<br />

Economic Risk<br />

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial<br />

performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level<br />

of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, the rate of growth of gross<br />

domestic product in Australia, interest rates and the rate of inflation.<br />

Legislative<br />

Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and government policies may<br />

adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

The <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited Sand<br />

Queen Project is a joint venture with Reed<br />

Resources Ltd over part of their Comet Vale<br />

project.<br />

The Reed Resources Ltd Comet Vale<br />

Project comprises 20 separate tenements<br />

covering an area of approximately 37 km 2<br />

is located about 100 km north-northwest<br />

of Kalgoorlie within the Norseman-Wiluna<br />

Greenstone Belt, Eastern Goldfields region,<br />

Western Australia Figure 1 (map of WA)<br />

and Figure 2. The main gold exploration<br />

targets currently being developed are<br />

extensions to and strike repetitions of the<br />

gold lode originally marked as the Sand<br />

Queen – Gladsome Mines, along a host<br />

structure referred to as the “Comet Vale<br />

Shear Zone”. The initial discovery, made<br />

in 1893, quickly led to a gold rush in the<br />

area that was followed by the discovery of<br />

a significant number of auriferous reefs, as<br />

well as, alluvial deposits that were worked<br />

by dryblowing. In addition to the Sand<br />

Queen and Gladsome mines a number of<br />

other gold mines were worked with Mines<br />

Department rewards showing that, between<br />

1910 – 1920, some 118,000 tonnes of<br />

ore was treated for a recovery of 101,675<br />

ounces of gold at an average grade of 26<br />

oz/t Au.<br />

The <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited Farm<br />

in and Joint Venture agreement is over<br />

the underground resources of the three<br />

tenements containing the high grade<br />

portion of the ore which has been identified<br />

(currently 2007) as Indicated and Inferred<br />

Resources from the Sand George/ Sand<br />

Queen underground mine workings totals<br />

360,200 tonnes at a weighted average grade<br />

of about 12g/t Au for a recoverable 136,500<br />

ounces of gold.<br />

The tenements the subject of this joint venture are M29/321, M29/52 and Miscellaneous Licence L29/67, (the<br />

“Initial Tenements”).<br />

The Comet Vale Project comprising three tenements (M29/52,M29/321 and L29/67) covering an area of<br />

approximately 106 ha is located about 100 km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie within the Norseman-Wiluna<br />

Greenstone Belt, Eastern Goldfields region, Western Australia ( Figure 1).<br />

The current (2007) identified Indicated and Inferred Resources from all lodes the Sand George/ Sand Queen<br />

underground mine workings totals some 360,200 tonnes having a weighted average grade of approximately<br />

12g/t Au for 136,500 ounces of gold.<br />

Section 8<br />

Independent Geologist’s Report<br />

Drill investigation below the Sand Queen /Gladsome and to the north confirms that this mineralisation is open<br />

both along strike and at depth to at least 400m below ground level. Drilling of the newly identified Princess<br />

Grace resource, located adjacent to the Sand Prince West lode, some 250m southwest of the Sand George<br />

mineralisation is still in progress.<br />

2. Location and Access<br />

The Comet Vale Project is centered about 100km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Menzies District of the<br />

North Coolgardie Mineral Field, Western Australia . The project is located on the old mining centre of Comet<br />

Vale, and is readily accessible by way of the Goldfields Highway, that passes north from Kalgoorlie to Leonora,<br />

through the centre of the project area.<br />

Most of the workings are located west of the main road where access within the various leases is provided by<br />

numerous tracks and cleared areas resulting from previous mining and exploration activity.<br />

Exploration tracks and gridlines provide access to the eastern side of the project area.<br />

4. Regional Geology<br />

The Comet Vale Project area is underlain by mafic-ultramafic volcanic rocks of the Ora Banda Domain together<br />

with intrusive granitoids of the Goongarrie Monzogranite to the west and the Comet Vale Monzogranite to the<br />

north (Figure 2).<br />

The Ora Banda Domain is one of six tectono-stratigraphy domains that make up the Kalgoorlie Terrain and<br />

is host to extensive gold mineralisation in gold mining centres that include Ora Banda and Mt Pleasant.<br />

Mafic-ultramafic volcanic and metasedimentary rocks together with mafic igneous sills, within the Ora Banda<br />

Domain are referred to as Ora Banda sequence. (see Table 2 below).<br />

Investment Summary<br />

5. Project Geology (after Collins 2003, Swager 1994)<br />

5.1 Ora Banda Sequence at Comet Vale<br />

Mafic-ultramafic volcanic rocks in the Comet Vale area are a continuation of the lower part of the Ora Banda<br />

Sequence, though generally with reduced thickness.<br />

The mafic-ultramafic volcanics at Comet Vale is divided into three formations that are correlated with the<br />

Missouri Basalt, Walter Williams Formation and Siberia Komatiite.<br />

Only the Missouri Basalt and Walter Williams Formations outcrop in the vicinity of and along strike from the<br />

Sand Queen – Gladsome mine.<br />

The Wongi Basalt at the base of the Ora Banda Sequence is not apparent as outcrop within the project area,<br />

however younger formations may underlie the eastern part of the project area.<br />

The Missouri Basalt is the basal formation in the Comet Vale area consists of massive, fine to medium-grained<br />

metabasalt having a possible thickness in the vicinity of 500-1000m. The Missouri Basalt is conformably<br />

overlain to the east by ultramafic rocks of the Walter Williams Formation (Table 2).<br />

The Missouri Basalt may be divided into two distinct units, the upper and lower basalt. The boundary<br />

between them being about 200m below (and structurally above) the boundary of the Walter Williams<br />

Formation (Holla 2001). The Walter Williams Formation is dominated by serpentenised dunite and minor<br />

peridotite that outcrop east of the Goldfields Highway.<br />

The boundary between the Missouri Basalt and Walter Williams Formation appears to be a zone of shearing in<br />

talc-carbonate-chlorite altered ultramafics.<br />

5.2 Granitic Rocks<br />

There are two granitoids within the Comet Vale area.<br />

1. The Goongarrie Monzogranite forming the western margin of the Menzies Greenstone belt and<br />

underlying the western part of the project area.<br />

2. The Comet Vale Monzogranite, is a late tectonic granitoid that has intruded the greenstone belt<br />

intersecting the eastern margin of the Googarrie Monzogranite. This granitoid is circular in shape and<br />

truncates the mafic-ultramafic volcanic sequence in the northern part of the project area.<br />

The basaltic sequence has been intruded by several narrow porphyry dykes (or sills) that are generally subparallel<br />

to the stratigraphy. Most of these porphyry dykes occur at the top of the Missouri Basalt within some<br />

60m of its boundary with the overlying Walter Williams Formation, however some narrow dykes occur in the<br />

Walter Williams Formation.<br />

5.3 Structural Geology<br />

Comet Vale is on the western limb of the regional-scale north-south trending. Googarrie-Mt Pleasant<br />

anticline. The Googarrie Monzogranite is in the core of this south-plunging anticline, enclosed by rocks of<br />

the Ora Banda Domain. The mafic-ultramafic rocks of the Comet Vale Area are therefore part of the same<br />

sequence that is host to the Grants Patch, Ora Banda and Mt Pleasant gold mining centres on the southern and<br />

western limbs of this anticline (Figure 4).<br />

Close to its southern margin emplacement of the late-tectonic Comet Vale Monzogranite has caused distortion<br />

of the Missouri Basalt and Walter Williams Formation from a NNW-SSE trend to a more NW-SE trend. The<br />

Siberia komatiite appears to have been deflected in the opposite direction resulting in a NE-SW trend.<br />

Emplacement of the monzogranite appears to have been accommodated by faults and shear zones that are subparallel<br />

to the contact between the granitoid and the greenstone belt. These WNW-ESE-trending structures<br />

host some of the smaller gold deposits in the Comet Vale area, namely the Happy Jack, Lake View and Lady<br />

Margaret mines (Witt, 1990).<br />

In contrast, the largest gold deposit at Comet Vale, the Sand Queen-Gladsome mine, occurs in a NNW-SSE<br />

trending, steeply-west dipping structure which is sub-parallel to the boundary between the Missouri Basalt<br />

and Walter Williams Formation. Although the exact nature of this structure is not known it is not thought to<br />

be related to the emplacement of the Comet Vale Monzogranite.<br />

Page 24


6. Past Exploration up to 1998<br />

The initial discovery of gold in the area<br />

was made in 1893 with gold mining<br />

continuing in the Comet Vale area until<br />

the early 1900’s.<br />

Between 1935 and 1936, the West<br />

Australian Department of Mines carried<br />

out surface and underground drilling<br />

in an attempt to locate extensions or<br />

additions to the Comet Vale lode, however<br />

no significant gold intersections were<br />

reported.<br />

In 1965, Western <strong>Mining</strong> Corporation<br />

Ltd (“WMC”) explored the ultramafic<br />

successions to the east of the Comet Vale<br />

Lode for nickel mineralisation, there are<br />

no records of their exploration results.<br />

Between 1970 and 1985, the Comet Vale<br />

project was investigated by Minplex<br />

Resources Ltd on behalf of a consortium<br />

comprising Valiant Consolidated Ltd.,<br />

Queen Margaret Gold Mines NL and<br />

Spargos Exploration NL. During this<br />

period both ground and airborne<br />

magnetic surveys were carried out,<br />

together with the drilling of 251 RAB and<br />

10 RC holes.<br />

Between 1986 and 1988, Aberfoyle carried<br />

out a program of geochemical sampling,<br />

RAB and RC drilling, over projected<br />

extensions of the Comet Vale lode and<br />

Happy Jack Lake View shears.<br />

During the 1980’s, Conex explored a<br />

group of mineral claims surrounding<br />

the Lady Margaret and Lady Mack gold<br />

workings. A total of 21 RAB holes were<br />

Figure 4. Structural Geology<br />

drilled. Also during the 1980’s, Delta<br />

Gold NL and JV partner BP Minerals<br />

Australia Pty Ltd drilled 94 holes over several prospecting licences west of the project area (south of Coonega)<br />

and northeast of the main Comet Vale mine leases. Delta Gold also completed 19 follow-up RAB holes. The<br />

results of this work are not known.<br />

Between 1985 and 1988, Hill Minerals NL evaluated the Coonega mine workings, completing 32 RC drill<br />

holes and one diamond drill hole.<br />

Between 1988 and 1989; and 1991 to 1993, Valiant Consolidated Limited completed six diamond drill holes<br />

and five wedges to evaluate the main Comet Vale lode in the vicinity of the Sand Queen-Gladsome mine.<br />

Between 1989 and 1991, Ashton Gold (WA) Ltd explored the Comet Vale lode at the Sand Queen – Gladsome<br />

mine completing ground magnetics and a geochemical survey. Eight RC and one deep diamond drill hole<br />

were completed.<br />

Between 1993 and 1998, Destra Corporation Ltd completed 115 RAB holes to the north of the project area,<br />

148 RAB holes surrounding the Coonega deposit, 6 RC holes over the Coonega East gold workings, northeast<br />

of the Sand Queen mine, 6 RC holes along projected extensions of the Comet Vale lode, 39 RC holes north<br />

Page 25


Section 8<br />

Independent Geologist’s Report<br />

and south of the Sand Prince mine workings, 13 RC holes over the Sand Queen East gold in soil anomaly, one<br />

diamond drill hole to evaluate the southern plunge of the Comet Vale lode, one RC hole and two diamond<br />

drill holes at Coonega.<br />

7. Exploration by Reed Resources Ltd ( 1998 – 2007)<br />

In September 1998, Mr David Reed acquired Destra Corporation’s 100% interest in the Comet Vale project.<br />

Since that time exploration has been directed at defining extensions to, or repetitions of, the Sand Queen-<br />

Gladsome gold mineralisation. This exploration program has met with a great deal of success, with the<br />

identification of new zones of gold mineralisation that have significantly added to Reed Resource’s resource<br />

inventory.<br />

7.1 Exploration 1998 – 2002 (after Collins, PLF)<br />

1999: Two deep diamond drill holes (CV11 and CV12) with RC pre-collars (DRC1, 2) were drilled in July-<br />

August 1999 to test for possible depth extensions of the Comet Vale lode to the north of the Gladsome<br />

mine. A third RC drill hole (DRC3) was drilled to test a gold in soil anomaly at the Sand Queen East<br />

prospect.<br />

2000: Exploration focused on prospective ground to the south of the Sand Queen-Gladsome mine, with<br />

5,983m of drilling in 66 RC percussion drill holes (DRC4-DRC69). This work resulted in the discovery<br />

of two, closely-spaced, sub-parallel, high-grade gold lodes, referred to as the ‘Sand George prospect, and<br />

centred about 300m south of the Sand Queen shaft. Preliminary tonnage and grade estimates indicated<br />

a resource of the order of 115,000 tonnes grading 12g/t Au.<br />

2001: Exploration included an evaluation of the results of the 1999-2000 drilling programs along the<br />

Gladsome-Sand Queen-Sand George-Sand Prince ‘line’ of lodes, 3-D geological modelling of the Sand<br />

George lode, and an estimation of a mineral resource. Resource modelling indicated 85,549 tonnes<br />

grading 14.2g/t Au in the main Sand George lode. Environmental and hydro-geological studies were<br />

completed in preparation for dewatering of the Sand Queen main shaft.<br />

2002: Surface exploration focused on the Sand George deposit and the potential for repetition of highgrade<br />

lodes elsewhere along the Comet Vale lode structure. In addition a comprehensive data base<br />

was established for all current and previous exploration. Work commenced on dewatering and<br />

rehabilitation of the Sand Queen main shaft to gain underground access to source any remnant ore, for<br />

geological mapping, and to assess use of the shaft as a means of underground access to the Sand George<br />

deposit.<br />

7.2 Exploration 2003 – 2007 (after Potter, D)<br />

2003: Dewatering and rehabilitation of the Sand Queen main shaft to below No. 4 Level was completed and<br />

geological mapping/sampling of the 4 Level south drive revealed a change in structural position of the<br />

lode below 4 Level. Infill RC drilling at the southern end of the Sand Queen identified an Indicated<br />

Mineral Resource of 6,500 tonnes at 19.7g/t Au (4,100 ounces of contained gold). Exploration of the<br />

Comet Vale lode structure at the Sand George prospect included diamond drilling to test the deeper<br />

lode positions, re-assessment of the geological model, and recalculation of the Mineral Resource<br />

(155,000 tonnes at 11.6g/t Au, 58,052 ounces gold). Drilling also identified a shallow, flat-lying<br />

structure referred to as the Sand Prince West lode with a resource (undefined) of 77,000 tonnes grading<br />

3.9g/t Au.<br />

2004: Exploration at the Comet Vale project during 2004 continued to target the area’s gold potential with<br />

most of the work being confined to M29/52 and M29/321. Most exploration has focussed on definition<br />

of a mineable resource at the Sand George deposit together with an evaluation of various mining<br />

options for feasibility studies for development of a mine. A new resource of 205,160 tonnes grading<br />

10.6g/t for 70,000 ounces was calculated using a 2g/t cut-off grade.<br />

2005: Development focussed on Sand Prince West where a total of 93 RC holes were drilled and a resource of<br />

34,881t grading 2.94g/t for 3,300 ounces was defined.<br />

2006: Exploration at the Comet Vale project during 2006 involved:<br />

Comet Vale exploration data base<br />

During 2006/2007, significant work has taken place to locate, evaluate and validate previous exploration data.<br />

This data is in the process of being compiled into a single data base now managed by Reed Resources.<br />

All data files have been updated with the results from the 2006 work campaigns.<br />

Sand Prince Prospect<br />

Assays of the quartz lode intersections returned some high-grade gold intervals with assays in excess of 10g/t<br />

Au, including:<br />

• 1m @ 15.24g/t Au from 93m in JVC001, within 3m @ 6.32g/t (92-95m)<br />

• 1m @ 17.30g/t Au from 20m in JVD001<br />

• 0.98m @ 14.02g/t Au in JVD003 (155.29-156.28)<br />

The mineralisation remains open at depth (400m) and along strike to the south where previous shallow<br />

drilling intercepted 1m @ 4.2g/t Au a further 400 metres south and 1m @ 7.3g/t Au and 1m @ 6.3g/t Au in the<br />

same hole 800 metres further south of the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> JV boundary. A further 1.5 km of the Comet Vale shear<br />

that hosts the Sand Queen/Sand George gold mineralisation remains untested.<br />

A diamond drill hole targeted to infill between previously drilled intersections of the Sand George lodes<br />

intersected the SG1 and SG2 lodes below the current mine (JVD006). Further drilling to test the depth<br />

potential of both the Sand Queen and Sand George lodes will be undertaken from planned underground<br />

development.<br />

A new resource estimate was reported by Reed Resources for the Sand George and Sand Queen lodes as<br />

follows. After review I have adopted these resource figures.<br />

Significant Results<br />

The successful completion of the Comet Vale Resource Extension drilling program has doubled the strike<br />

extent of the Sand George resource.<br />

The Resource Extension drilling has extended the potential reserves for a further 500m, down to a vertical<br />

depth of 250m with significant drill intersections being made at depths up to 400 metres below ground level.<br />

A new lode of 8m @ 3.60g/t Au was intercepted beneath the Sand Prince West orebody in the precollar of<br />

JVD006 which was planned to test depth continuity of the Sand George orebodies.<br />

Mineralised wide lode intersections which contain narrow high-grade intervals with assays in excess of 15g/t<br />

9 . Conclusions<br />

The Comet Vale project is located in an area that has a history of gold mining dating back to 1893.<br />

Between 1904-1948, the Sand Queen-Gladsome lodes produced some 192,000 ounces of gold from 253,154<br />

tonnes of ore at an average grade of 23.5g/tAu.<br />

The current total Indicated and Inferred Resources are 360,200 tonnes grading 12g/t for 136,500 ounces of<br />

gold.<br />

The Sand Queen/Sand George lodes, are open both to the north and south and to depth of at least 400 metres.<br />

Development faces have advanced into ore zones and at least 10,000 tonnes of ore can now be accessed for<br />

mining from these faces.<br />

Directly below the current mine workings, exploratory drilling has intersected significant gold mineralisation<br />

in overlapping lodes, namely 2.45m grading 28.55g/tAu, 3m grading 14.14g/tAu and 1m grading 9.96g/tAu at<br />

depths of between 350m and 400m below ground level.<br />

Along strike to the north, drill investigation below the Sand Queen-Gladsome lodes returned the following.<br />

From RD9, 1m grading 15.45g/tAu, CV1W2, 0.4m grading 21.5g/tAu, and CV2W1, 0.25m grading 5.26g/tAu.<br />

Dear Directors<br />

INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON HISTORICAL AND<br />

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION<br />

1. Introduction<br />

This investigating accountant’s report has been prepared at your request to report on certain historical and<br />

pro forma financial information in respect of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited. The report has been prepared<br />

for inclusion in a prospectus ("the prospectus") to be dated on or about 31 October 2007 relating to the<br />

proposed issue by <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited of 30,000,000 ordinary shares at 20 cents each to raise a total of<br />

$6,000,000.<br />

2. Basis of Preparation<br />

This investigating accountant’s report has been prepared to provide investors with information on historical<br />

results and assets and liabilities of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited. The historical and pro forma financial<br />

information is presented in an abbreviated form and does not include all of the disclosures required by the<br />

Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial reports in accordance with the Corporations<br />

Act 2001. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Equivalents to<br />

International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). This report does not address the rights attaching to the<br />

securities to be issued in accordance with the prospectus, nor the risks associated with investment. Mack &<br />

Co has not been requested to consider the prospectus for <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited, the securities on offer<br />

and related invoicing issues, nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder and accordingly,<br />

has not done so, nor purports to do so. Mack & Co accordingly takes no responsibility for these matters or for<br />

any matter or omission in the prospectus, other than responsibility for this report.<br />

3. Background<br />

The company was incorporated as <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Pty Ltd on 6 January 2005. On 25 October 2005 the company<br />

changed its name to <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Pty Ltd. On 12 July 2007 the company converted from a private<br />

company to a public company with the name of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited and a new constitution.<br />

From 11 January 2005 to 25 May 2007 the company acted as trustee for the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust. On 25 May<br />

2007 the company was removed as trustee of the trust and was replaced by a new trustee.<br />

On and since incorporation and up to the date of this report the Company has issued the following shares:<br />

• Issue of 1 fully paid subscriber share on incorporation. This was redeemed on 10 January 2005.<br />

• Issue of 20 ordinary fully paid shares on 10 January 2005 for $20.<br />

• Issue of 8,800,000 fully paid ordinary shares on 3 October 2007 for $63,000.<br />

Page 38


Under the terms of an asset sale agreement dated October 2007 the Company will acquire certain assets and<br />

liabilities of the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust based on the financial statements prepared for the trust at 20 April<br />

2007 for a consideration of $10,000 to be satisfied by the issue of 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in<br />

the Company. The agreement is subject to the seller obtaining the prior written consent of parties to a joint<br />

venture agreement to which the seller is a party to have the Company stand in its place and the Company<br />

completing a capital raising under the IPO prospectus and receiving conditional approval for admission to the<br />

official list of the Australian Securities Exchange by 31 December 2007 or such later date as the parties agree<br />

in writing. Details of the assets and liabilities the subject of this agreement are set out in appendix 1.<br />

Under the amended terms of the farm-in and joint venture agreement in order for <strong>Kingsrose</strong> to have a share of<br />

the tenement interests transferred to its name the joint venture must produce not less than 25,000 ounces of<br />

gold by 31 May 2009.<br />

The operations carried on by the Kingrose Unit Trust have continued from 20 April 2007 and have been<br />

accounted for from that date as if they were carried on by <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited. The data set out in<br />

Appendix 2 under the heading “Unaudited 31 August 2007” is a summary of these operations for the period<br />

20 April 2007 to 31 August 2007 and the balance sheet as at 31 August 2007.<br />

4. Scope<br />

We have conducted an independent review of the following:<br />

4.1 The income statement of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust for the period from 11 January 2005 to 30 June 2005, the<br />

year ended 30 June 2006 and the period 1 July 2006 to 20 April 2007.<br />

4.2 The balance sheet of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust as at 30 June 2005, 30 June 2006 and 20 April 2007.<br />

4.3 The balance sheet of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited as at 31 August 2007 and the income statement from<br />

20 April 2007 to 31 August 2007 prepared on the basis that the company conducted the business for<br />

this period and had acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities set out in the asset sale agreement.<br />

4.4 The pro-forma income statement, balance sheet and statement of changes in equity of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong><br />

Limited at 31 August 2007 which adjusts these statements to include the financial effects of:<br />

(a) the proposed issue pursuant to the prospectus of 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to raise<br />

$6,000,000.<br />

(b) the estimated capital raising costs of the issue of $400,000.<br />

(c) the issue on 3 October 2007 of 8,800,000 fully paid ordinary shares for $63,000 cash.<br />

(d) the proposed issue of $2,200,000 of convertible notes to retire loans owed by the company.<br />

(e) the proposed issue of 6,250,000 fully paid ordinary shares in satisfaction of $1,250,000 of loans owed<br />

by the company.<br />

(f) the proposed payment by cash from the proceeds of the issue of the balance of the loan accounts<br />

totalling $631,472.<br />

(g) the proposed payment by cash from the proceeds of the issue of the bank equipment loans of $251,212.<br />

(h) the proposed payment of the estimated stamp duty on the asset sale agreement of $144,000.<br />

The company data has been presented using the going concern basis. This basis assumes that expenses<br />

incurred and revenues earned in the ordinary course of business will be paid and received on a timely basis.<br />

Accordingly receivables and payables of this nature have not been included in the proforma adjustments listed<br />

above.<br />

All of the financial information referred to above has not been audited. The directors of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong><br />

Limited are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the historical and Proforma financial<br />

information including the determination of the pro-forma transactions.<br />

Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standard ASRE 2410<br />

and was limited to inquiries and discussions with the directors of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited, reading of<br />

directors minutes and relevant contracts, review of publicly available information and review of work papers,<br />

accounting records and other documents for <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited and the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust.<br />

Page 39


Section 9<br />

Investigating Accountant’s Report<br />

Our review also determined whether the pro-forma transactions formed a reasonable basis for the preparation<br />

of the pro-forma balance sheet.<br />

These review procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level<br />

of assurance provided is less than that given in an audit. We have not performed an audit on the historical<br />

financial information and the pro-forma balance sheet and accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on<br />

the historical financial information and the pro-forma financial information set out in Appendix 2.<br />

5. Review Opinion<br />

Based on the scope of our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us<br />

to believe that the historical information, as set out in Appendix 2, does not present fairly, in accordance<br />

with the recognition and measurement requirements, but not all of the disclosure requirements of applicable<br />

accounting standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, the following:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

The balance sheet of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited at 31 August 2007, the statement of changes in equity,<br />

the income statement and the statement of cash flows from 20 April 2007 to 31 August 2007 prepared<br />

on the basis set out in 4.3 above.<br />

The pro-forma balance sheet of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited at 31 August 2007, the proforma statement<br />

of changes in equity, the pro-forma income statement and the proforma statement of cash flows from 20<br />

April 2007 to 31 August 2007 had the transactions as set out in section 4.4 of this report taken place as<br />

at 31 August 2007.<br />

6. Subsequent Events<br />

6.1 In September 2007 the company entered into a mining services agreement with Westralmen Pty Ltd,<br />

Darren Phillips and Michael Green by which Westralmen Pty Ltd agreed to perform mining services for<br />

a period of 2 years for a fee of $418,000 per annum inclusive of GST payable in instalments monthly in<br />

arrears.<br />

6.2 In October 2007 the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr D F Hatch whereby Mr<br />

Hatch will be employed as managing director of the Company. Employment will commence from the<br />

date the Company shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange for a period of three years at<br />

a commencing salary of $300,000 per annum plus 9% superannuation and the use of a Company motor<br />

vehicle. Mr Hatch has been issued 3,000,000 free options with an exercise price of 25c per option<br />

expiring on 31 December 2012.<br />

6.3 In October 2007 the Company issued 2,500,000 free options to the following:<br />

- 1,000,000 to Mr JC Morris<br />

- 1,000,000 to Mr MJ Andrews<br />

- 500,000 to Abillo Pty Ltd as trustee for the MR Smith Family Trust.<br />

Each option will entitle the holder to one fully paid share in the Company at an exercise price of 25c at<br />

any time up to 31 December 2012.<br />

7. Disclosure<br />

At the date of this report Mack & Co does not have any pecuniary interest in <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited that<br />

matter. Mack & Co will receive a professional fee for the preparation of this report.<br />

Mack &Co consents to the inclusion of this report (including Appendix 1 and Appendix 2) in the <strong>Prospectus</strong><br />

Investigating Accountant’s Report<br />

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

AS AT 31 AUGUST 2007<br />

1. FINANCIAL REPORTING FRAMEWORK<br />

Basis of preparation of Proforma Financial Information<br />

The Proforma Financial Information of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited has been prepared in accordance with the<br />

recognition and measurement, but not all of the disclosure requirements of applicable Accounting Standard<br />

and other authoritative pronouncements of the AASB.<br />

Significant Accounting Policies<br />

(a) Exploration, evaluation, development and restoration costs<br />

Exploration and evaluation expenditure<br />

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is stated at cost and is accumulated in respect of each<br />

identifiable area of interest.<br />

Such costs are only carried forward in respect of areas of interest for which the rights of tenure are<br />

current and where:<br />

- such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of<br />

the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or<br />

- activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment<br />

of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant<br />

operations in, or in relation, to the area are continuing.<br />

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing<br />

to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Where carried- forward expenditure does not<br />

satisfy the policy stated above it is written off to the income statement in the period in which it is<br />

incurred.<br />

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off to the income statement in the<br />

period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.<br />

Mine development costs<br />

Costs incurred in bringing the operation to a mining stage have been capitalised as mine development<br />

costs. The company will determine an appropriate amortisation policy in respect of these costs.<br />

Rehabilitation, restoration and environmental costs<br />

Long-term environmental obligations are based on the company's environmental management plans, in<br />

compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements.<br />

The costs include obligations relating to reclamation, waste site closure, plant closure and other costs<br />

associated with the restoration of the site.<br />

Full provision is made based on the net present value of the estimated cost of restoring the environment<br />

disturbance that has been incurred as at the balance date. Increases due to additional environmental<br />

disturbance (to the extent that it relates to the development of an asset) are capitalised and amortised<br />

over the remaining lives of the mines.<br />

Annual increases in provision relating to the change in the present value of the provision are accounted<br />

for in earnings.<br />

The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes<br />

in legislation, technology or other circumstances. Cost estimates are not reduced by the potential<br />

proceeds from the sale of assets or from plant clean-up at closure.<br />

Page 46


(b)<br />

(c)<br />

(d)<br />

(e)<br />

(f)<br />

(g)<br />

Income tax<br />

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax<br />

bases and of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.<br />

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the<br />

deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not<br />

a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable<br />

profit or loss.<br />

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of<br />

unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be<br />

available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax<br />

assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the<br />

deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction<br />

that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting<br />

profit nor taxable profit or loss.<br />

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced<br />

to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or<br />

part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.<br />

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the<br />

year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates of (and tax laws) that have<br />

been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.<br />

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the<br />

income statement.<br />

Cash and cash equivalents<br />

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term<br />

deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.<br />

For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash<br />

equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.<br />

Inventory<br />

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.<br />

Property, plant and equipment<br />

Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.<br />

Depreciation is calculated on plant and equipment using the diminishing value basis.<br />

Rates used are:<br />

Class of Fixed Asset<br />

Depreciation Rate<br />

Headframe and property improvements 5% - 7.5%<br />

Plant and equipment 10% - 20%<br />

Motor vehicles 18.75%<br />

Low value pooled items 37.5%<br />

Goods and services tax<br />

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount<br />

of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office ("ATO"). In these circumstances<br />

the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as<br />

applicable.<br />

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.<br />

Impairment<br />

At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be<br />

impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the company makes a formal estimate of the<br />

recoverable amount.<br />

Page 47


Section 9<br />

Investigating Accountant’s Report<br />

Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired<br />

and is written down to its recoverable amount.<br />

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for<br />

each individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less<br />

costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets<br />

or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to<br />

which the asset belongs.<br />

(g)<br />

(h)<br />

Impairment<br />

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a<br />

pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value or money and the risks<br />

specific to the asset or group of assets being assessed.<br />

Payables<br />

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether<br />

or not billed to the company. Trade accounts are normally settled within 60 days.<br />

Payables to related parties are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised<br />

cost.<br />

(i)<br />

(j)<br />

(k)<br />

Employee benefits<br />

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by<br />

employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been<br />

measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on costs.<br />

Revenue recognition<br />

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the<br />

company and revenue can be reliably measured.<br />

Issued capital<br />

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.<br />

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a<br />

reduction of the proceeds received.<br />

2. PROFORMA TRANSACTIONS<br />

Dear Sirs<br />

SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON WESTERN AUSTRALIAN TENEMENTS<br />

This Solicitor’s Report (the “Report”) is prepared for inclusion in a <strong>Prospectus</strong> to be dated on or about 31<br />

October 2007 (“<strong>Prospectus</strong>”) for the issue by <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> Limited (the “Company”) of 30,000,000<br />

Shares at an issue price of 20 cents per Share.<br />

The Report relates to 2 mining leases and 1 miscellaneous licence in Western Australia (the “Tenements”),<br />

details of which are set out in the attached tenement schedule - Schedule 1 (“Tenement Schedule”) and<br />

summaries of the material agreements (“Material Agreements”) relevant to acquiring an interest in the<br />

Tenements as set out in the attached Schedule 2 (“Material Tenement Agreements Schedule”), which forms<br />

part of this Report.<br />

Words and expressions that are defined in this <strong>Prospectus</strong> have the same meanings when used in this Report,<br />

unless the contrary intention is expressed.<br />

1. SEARCHES OF THE TENEMENTS<br />

We have caused to be conducted the following searches at or obtained the following reports from the relevant<br />

Western Australian or Commonwealth government departments:<br />

(a) Tenements searches of the Tenements conducted on 19 September 2007;<br />

(b)<br />

(c)<br />

“Quick Appraisal” reports summarising information available on the Western Australian “TENGRAPH”<br />

system to determine native title claims upon the Tenements were obtained on 19 and 20 September<br />

2007; and<br />

a search of the Register of Native Title Claims maintained by the National Native Title Tribunal in<br />

respect of registered native title claims upon the Tenements which were conducted on 20 September<br />

2007.<br />

On the basis of the searches, materials and information supplied to us by the Company, subject to our<br />

qualifications set out below, we consider that this Report provides an accurate statement of the status of the<br />

Tenements as at the date on which they were searched and the Company’s interest in the Tenements as at the<br />

date of this Report.<br />

2. TENEMENTS GENERALLY<br />

The Tenements comprise of mining leases and a miscellaneous licence granted under the <strong>Mining</strong> Act 1978<br />

(WA). Details are provided in the Tenement Schedule. We provide below a brief summary of certain types of<br />

tenements in Western Australia.<br />

Page 52<br />

The impact of native title on the Tenements is set out in section 3 below, however, assuming each government<br />

department complied with native title legislative requirements, we are of the opinion that each granted<br />

Tenement has been validly granted with respect to native title. The valid grant of any application for a<br />

tenement and which may be affected by native title will require compliance with the application provisions<br />

and processes of the native title legislation set out in section 3.


2.1 Western Australia<br />

Tenements in Western Australia are granted subject to various conditions prescribed by the <strong>Mining</strong> Act<br />

1978 (WA), including payment of rent, expenditure and reporting requirements and each tenement is<br />

granted subject to standard conditions which regulate the holder’s activities or are designed to protect the<br />

environment. These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report.<br />

The holder of a granted prospecting licence, exploration licence or mining lease is required to spend, or cause<br />

to be spent, a set amount per hectare or, in the case of exploration licences, per block in each tenement year<br />

on exploration or mining activities and a “Form 5” expenditure report must be lodged within 60 days after the<br />

anniversary date of the mining tenement. The Tenement Schedule sets out the details of the current minimum<br />

expenditure obligations for each granted Tenement. The Company may apply for exemption from compliance<br />

with the minimum expenditure requirements on certain grounds set out in section 102(2) of the <strong>Mining</strong> Act<br />

1978 (WA) or at the discretion Minister. A failure to comply with the expenditure requirements renders the<br />

mining tenement open to forfeiture.<br />

The holder of a mining tenement wishing to access private land or certain areas within a pastoral lease may<br />

have to agree the terms of compensation for the rights to access and work the land. We express no opinion on<br />

whether such arrangements are required or have been obtained.<br />

2.2 Prospecting Licences<br />

A prospecting licence entitles the holder, to the exclusion of others, to explore for minerals in the area of the<br />

licence but not to conduct commercial mining. A prospecting licence may cover a maximum area of 200<br />

hectares and remains in force for up to 4 years but does not include a right of renewal.<br />

The holder of a prospecting licence has the right to apply for one or more mining leases over any of the land<br />

the subject of the prospecting licence prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. A prospecting licence,<br />

subject to a conversion application to a mining lease, remains in force pending the determination of the<br />

application for that mining lease.<br />

There is no restriction on the assignment of a prospecting licence.<br />

2.3 Exploration Licences<br />

An exploration licence entitles the holder, to the exclusion of others, to explore for minerals in the area of<br />

the licence but not to conduct commercial mining. The maximum area of an exploration licence in Western<br />

Australia is 70 graticular blocks (between 196 and 231 square kilometres depending on the latitude).<br />

An exploration licence remains in force for up to 5 years and may be extended in certain circumstances by 2<br />

further periods of 1 or 2 years on application. The prescribed circumstances where the Minister is satisfied<br />

that delays or difficulties in carrying out an exploration program or the marking-out of a mining lease could<br />

not be undertaken, completed or was subject to impracticable conditions. In exceptional circumstances, the<br />

Minister may extend the term for an additional further period or periods of 1 year. An exploration licence<br />

remains in force pending a decision to extend its term. If an extension of term is granted then the minimum<br />

annual expenditure is increased as follows:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

to $50,000 during the 6 th and 7 th years; and<br />

to $100,000 during the 8 th , 9 th and any subsequent years.<br />

An exploration licence is subject to statutory relinquishment of not less than half of the blocks at the<br />

expiration of the third year of the five year term. At the end of the fourth year half of the remaining blocks<br />

must also be relinquished.<br />

The holder of an exploration licence has the right under the <strong>Mining</strong> Act 1978 (WA) to peg and apply for one or<br />

more mining leases over any of the land the subject of the licence prior to the expiry of the licence. That part<br />

of an exploration licence, subject to a conversion application to a mining lease, remains in force pending the<br />

determination of that mining lease.<br />

An exploration licence can only be assigned during the first year of its term with Ministerial approval.<br />

Page 53


Section 10<br />

Solicitor’s Report<br />

2.4 <strong>Mining</strong> Leases<br />

A mining lease entitles the holder, to the exclusion of others, to work, mine and take minerals won from the<br />

mining lease, subject to obtaining certain approvals. A mining lease covers a maximum of 1,000 hectares and<br />

remains in force for 21 years. The holder has the right, subject to complying with the <strong>Mining</strong> Act 1978 (WA),<br />

to an extension of a further 21 years and at the end of the second 21 year term may apply to the Minister for<br />

Mines for an extension of a further 21 years. As with other mining tenements granted under the <strong>Mining</strong> Act<br />

1978 (WA), a mining lease is granted subject to conditions regulating the conduct of activities. In particular,<br />

the holder of a mining lease cannot commence developmental or productive mining unless the approval of the<br />

State <strong>Mining</strong> Engineer is first obtained.<br />

It is a breach of the conditions of a mining lease to assign it without the prior written consent of the Minister<br />

for Mines.<br />

2.5 Miscellaneous Licences<br />

A miscellaneous licence may be granted over any land, including any land the subject of an existing mining<br />

tenement whether held by the applicant or another person or company for purposes directly connected with<br />

mining operations such as a road, a pipeline licence, a water licence or for any prescribed purpose such as a<br />

bore or communications to service a mining facility.<br />

An application fee and rent is payable in respect of all miscellaneous licences. A miscellaneous licence is<br />

subject to prescribed terms and conditions which are specified in the miscellaneous licence. There is no limit<br />

to the number of the miscellaneous licences a person or company may hold.<br />

The term of a miscellaneous licence granted after 6 June 1998 is 21 years and may be renewed for further<br />

terms. A miscellaneous licence can be applied for over, and can co-exist with, other mining titles.<br />

3. OVERVIEW OF NATIVE TITLE<br />

3.1 General Overview<br />

For the purposes of this Report and for the purposes of reviewing native title issues in respect of the<br />

Tenements, we assume that the Tenements have been validly granted (apart from potential invalidity on native<br />

title grounds).<br />

Native title refers to the unique title held by Australian indigenous peoples over Australian land or waters<br />

(“Native Title”), first recognised in Australia in the landmark Mabo v Queensland (“Mabo”) case on 3 June<br />

1992.<br />

To establish Native Title, a claimant group must show that they have historically enjoyed certain customary<br />

rights and privileges and a traditional connection in respect of a particular area of land. Native Title may be<br />

extinguished either by voluntary surrender to the Crown, death of the last survivor of a community entitled<br />

to Native Title, abandonment of the land in question by that community or the granting of an “inconsistent<br />

interest” in the land by the Crown.<br />

The Commonwealth Parliament responded to the Mabo decision by passing the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (the<br />

“Native Title Act”) which:<br />

(a)<br />

recognised Native Title rights;<br />

(b) validated ‘past acts’, including the grant of mining tenements and ancillary titles granted before 1<br />

January 1994;<br />

(c) provided for the protection of Native Title in ‘future acts’, including the grant of certain titles after 31<br />

December 1993; and<br />

(d)<br />

provided for the procedures to claim and register Native Title and to claim compensation for the<br />

extinguishment or impairment of Native Title.<br />

The Native Title Amendment Act 1998 (Cth) (the “Amendment Act”) extensively amended the Native Title Act.<br />

The Amendment Act validated titles which may have been invalidly granted over pastoral leases and certain<br />

other leasehold interests during the period 1 January 1994 to 23 December 1996. The Amendment Act also<br />

Page 54


included a revised threshold test for the acceptance of Native Title claims, confirmation of extinguishment<br />

of Native Title by the grant of “exclusive possession” pastoral leases and certain other leasehold interests and<br />

provisions intended to deal with overlapping claims.<br />

Anyone who claims to hold Native Title, either alone or with others, may lodge a claim with the Native Title<br />

Registrar. However, the claimants must establish the claim before Native Title can exist in the area. We also<br />

advise that the absence of Native Title claims in an area does not mean that Native Title does not exist in an<br />

area. If the claimants satisfy the Native Title Registrar that the claim meets the legislative requirements, then<br />

the claim will be registered by the National Native Title Tribunal (“NNTT”) on the Register of Native Title<br />

claims. This registration entitles the claimants to procedural rights. Importantly, it entitles the claimants to<br />

the ‘right to negotiate’.<br />

Native Title claims that are not registered by the NNTT are recorded on the Schedule of Applications Received.<br />

Claims entered on the Schedule of Applications Received can, at a later date, be properly registered if the<br />

claimant provides additional information and the Native Title Registrar is satisfied that the claimants rights<br />

and interests can prima facie be established.<br />

3.2 Standing of Titles as a result of Native Title<br />

The Standing of Titles as a Result of the advent of Native Title is as set out below.<br />

(a) Pre 1994 Tenements<br />

Tenements that were granted or renewed before 1 January 1994 are valid. Where a Native Title claim<br />

is determined to exist over an area subject to such tenements, the tenements will remain valid for the<br />

duration of its term. Native Title holders may be entitled to compensation from the State Government<br />

for the effect of that grant on Native Title rights.<br />

M29/52 was granted during this period.<br />

(b) Tenements Granted After 1994 and Until 23 December 1996<br />

Some States and Territories including the Western Australian Government granted mining tenements<br />

during the period between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996 without complying with the<br />

requirements of the Native Title Act. Accordingly, there was a risk that some of the tenements granted<br />

in this period may be invalid as a result of non-compliance with the Native Title Act. This risk has been<br />

removed by the Amendment Act and corresponding West Australian legislation so far as tenements<br />

were granted over land, which is the subject of a pastoral lease, or other prescribed leasehold land.<br />

(c) Tenements Granted after 23 December 1996<br />

(d)<br />

Tenements granted or renewed since 23 December 1996 will be valid provided that the Native Title Act<br />

has been complied with.<br />

M29/321 and L29/67 were granted during this period.<br />

Applications and Renewals<br />

Future tenement grants including the valid grant of any Tenements that may affect Native Title<br />

will require full compliance with the provisions of the Native Title Act, being in effect successful<br />

negotiation with registered Native Title claimant groups. The ‘conversion’ of a prospecting licence or<br />

an exploration licence in Western Australia to one or more mining leases is a future act, giving rise to a<br />

‘right to negotiate’.<br />

Any renewal of a granted Tenement validly created on or before 23 December 1996 will not be subject<br />

to the ‘right to negotiate’ unless the renewal seeks to extend the area of the tenement, is for a longer<br />

term than the previous term or confers greater rights than the previous grant.<br />

3.3 The Right to Negotiate<br />

The right to negotiate under the Native Title Act consists of a statutory period of negotiation between the<br />

Government party, the Native Title party and the grantee party.<br />

The parties must negotiate in good faith and if no agreement is reached, and at least six months have passed<br />

since the notification day, the matter is referred to the arbitral body for determination. The arbitral body then<br />

Page 55


Section 10<br />

Solicitor’s Report<br />

determines whether the act can be done, not done or done subject to conditions. A right then exists for a State<br />

or Territory Minister to overrule the determination of the arbitral body if it considers it to be in the interest of<br />

the State or Territory.<br />

The Native Title Act authorises the entering of Indigenous Land Use Agreements (“ILUAs”), which provide<br />

for Native Title claimants or holders and the grantee party to enter into agreements, which once registered<br />

at the NNTT, can serve to validate tenements that have already been granted and that may be invalid. ILUAs<br />

can also be used to obtain the Native Title claimant’s or holder’s consent to the granting of current tenement<br />

applications and to obtain the Native Title claimants or holders consent for future tenement applications<br />

within a certain area.<br />

Similarly, the grantee party and Native Title claimant groups can negotiate and enter into agreements covering<br />

heritage protocols for exploration and/or mining, which will facilitate the grant of tenement applications.<br />

Such agreements are not registered under the Native Title Act but serve more as a contract between the mining<br />

company and the relevant Aboriginal group.<br />

4. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE AND ABORIGINAL SITES<br />

4.1 Commonwealth<br />

There is Commonwealth heritage legislation, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act<br />

1984 (Cth) (“National Heritage Act”), which applies to the Tenements. The Act is aimed at the preservation<br />

and protection of significant Aboriginal areas and objects through their use in a manner inconsistent with<br />

Aboriginal traditions. There may be sites of Aboriginal heritage or significance that are subject to such<br />

legislation that are located on the land on which the Tenements are situated. This may affect exploration or<br />

mining activities on the Tenements.<br />

In respect of any Aboriginal sites or places of Aboriginal heritage that are on the Tenements or may be<br />

identified on the Tenements, the Company will need to ensure that any interference with Aboriginal sites is in<br />

strict conformity with the provisions of the National Heritage Act.<br />

4.2 Western Australia<br />

The Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) also applies to the Tenements (“WA Heritage Act”). This Act makes it<br />

an offence to alter or damage an Aboriginal site or object on or under an Aboriginal site. An ‘Aboriginal site’<br />

is defined to include any sacred, ritual or ceremonial site which is of importance and special significance to<br />

persons of Aboriginal descent.<br />

Although the WA Heritage Act states that the Minister has a duty to keep a record of Aboriginal sites,<br />

there is no requirement for an Aboriginal site to be registered in any public manner or, indeed, in any way<br />

acknowledged as an Aboriginal site for it to qualify as an Aboriginal site for the purposes of the WA<br />

Heritage Act.<br />

We have not undertaken searches to ascertain if any Aboriginal sites have been registered in the vicinity of the<br />

Tenements under either the National Heritage Act or the WA Heritage Act as there is no obligation to register<br />

sites and in any event the exact location of the sites is not ascertainable from such searches.<br />

In respect of any Aboriginal sites or places of Aboriginal heritage that are on the Tenements or may be<br />

identified on the Tenements, the Company may need to ensure that any interference with Aboriginal sites is in<br />

strict conformity with the provisions of the WA Heritage Act and the National Heritage Act.<br />

Page 56<br />

5. QUALIFICATIONS<br />

Our Report is based on, and subject to, the assumptions and qualifications set out below and as otherwise<br />

specified elsewhere in this Report:<br />

• We have relied upon information provided by third parties, including government departments and<br />

have relied upon that information being accurate, complete and up to date as at the date of its receipt.<br />

• References to areas in the Tenement Schedule are taken from the searches and we have not yet verified<br />

the accuracy of such areas. We have not conducted positioning and spacial searches of the Tenements<br />

on the “TENGRAPH” system to determine the exact areas of the Tenements or the locations of any<br />

limitations or excisions upon the Tenements.


• Compensation may have to be agreed and/or paid to the owner and occupier of private land situated<br />

within the Tenements and we express no opinion whether such arrangements are in place or need to be<br />

put into place.<br />

• We cannot comment on any agreements that are not registered as a dealing, encumbrance or otherwise<br />

noted in the searches of the Tenements.<br />

• Native Title or Aboriginal heritage sites or objects may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements. We<br />

have conducted searches to ascertain what Native Title claims, if any, have been registered over these<br />

areas, but we have not conducted any independent investigations regarding the likely existence or nonexistence<br />

of Native Title, Aboriginal heritage sites or objects.<br />

• Where Ministerial consent is required in relation to the Tenements or to the transfer the Tenements, we<br />

express no opinion as to whether such consent will be granted, or the consequences of consent being<br />

refused, although we are not aware of any matter which would cause consent to be refused.<br />

• We have assumed that the other than as may otherwise be noted in our Report the Tenement holders<br />

and the Company (where appropriate) have complied with all applicable provisions of the <strong>Mining</strong><br />

Act 1978 (WA), and all other legislation or regulations relating to the Tenements and we note that the<br />

interest or rights of the Company in relation to the Tenements is subject to the current registered<br />

holders or the Company as the case may be, continuing to comply with all the applicable provisions<br />

of the <strong>Mining</strong> Act 1978 (WA), and other legislation or regulations relating to the Tenements and any<br />

conditions specifically applicable to the Tenements. We express no opinion on any compliance not<br />

disclosed on the face of the searches conducted for the purposes of this Report.<br />

• We have assumed that all instructions or information which we have received from the Company or<br />

any of its officers, agents, or representatives is accurate and complete in all respects.<br />

• This Report relates solely to the laws of Western Australia, to the extent applicable to the Tenements.<br />

We do not express or imply any opinion on, and have made no investigation of the laws of any other<br />

jurisdiction.<br />

Solicitor’s Report<br />

MATERIAL TENEMENT AGREEMENTS SCHEDULE<br />

(Schedule 2 to Solicitor’s Report)<br />

1. Asset Sale Agreement<br />

In October 2007 the Company entered into the Asset Sale Agreement with the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust under<br />

which the Company agreed to acquire various assets and assume various liabilities from the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit<br />

Trust.<br />

The assets acquired by the Company will be the interest of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust in the Joint Venture<br />

Agreement, various plant and equipment, the benefit of mining expenditure and cash and term deposits. The<br />

<strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust and the Company have also separately agreed that the Company will receive the benefit<br />

of gold ore present upon the Comet Vale Joint Venture area including the recent sale of development gold ore<br />

resulting in net revenue to the Company of $611,602.<br />

The liabilities to be assumed by the Company total $3,382,630. Of this sum, $2,250,000, will be satisfied<br />

by the issue of 6,250,000 Shares at 20 cents per Share (satisfying $1,250,000 of liability) and the issue of<br />

5,000,000 Convertible Notes at an issue price of 20 cents each (satisfying $1,000,000 of liability). These<br />

Shares and Convertible Notes are to be issued by agreement to Airedale (Asia) Limited, a company associated<br />

with JW Phillips, a director of <strong>Kingsrose</strong> <strong>Mining</strong>. The Company has also separately agreed with JW Phillips<br />

to issue him with 6,000,000 Convertible Notes at an issue price of 20 cents each to satisfy and discharge<br />

$1,200,000 of liability owed by the Company. The terms of the Convertible Notes are detailed in section 12.5.<br />

The Company will issue 20,000,000 Shares in the capital of the Company to the <strong>Kingsrose</strong> Unit Trust as<br />

consideration for acquisition of the sale interests.<br />

Completion of the transaction will occur within 3 business days of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent.<br />

The agreement is conditional upon the Company completing a capital raising constituted by this <strong>Prospectus</strong><br />

and receiving conditional approval to be admitted to the official list of the ASX on conditions acceptable to the<br />

Company and receiving consent from Reed Resources Ltd to the sale of the interests under the Joint Venture<br />

Agreement. The consent of Reed Resources Ltd has been received in terms of the deed of consent, assumption<br />

and variation as summarised below.<br />

KRM provides various warranties as to the sale interests including that the assets are not subject to any<br />

encumbrances and that it has complied with all its obligations under the Joint Venture Agreement.<br />

The agreement is governed by the laws of Western Australia.<br />

2. Joint Venture Agreement and Deed of Consent, Assumption and Variation<br />

In conjunction with the Asset Sale Agreement, the Company entered into a deed of consent, assumption and<br />

variation by which, amongst other things, it will be treated as a party to the Joint Venture Agreement.<br />

By reason of the Joint Venture Agreement and the deed of consent, assumption and variation, the Company<br />

and Reed Resources Ltd are bound by the Joint Venture Agreement.<br />

By the Joint Venture Agreement as amended, Reed Resources Ltd and the Company will be treated as parties<br />

to an unincorporated joint venture to mine for gold and other minerals in respect of the area covering mining<br />

leases M 29/52 and M 29/321 and miscellaneous licence L 29/67 (“Tenement Area”). The Tenement Area<br />

includes the area of the Sand George mine.<br />

Reed Resources Ltd is the registered holder of the joint venture tenements. <strong>Kingsrose</strong>, upon receiving an<br />

assignment of an interest from KRM, will have a 50% participating interest in the joint venture.<br />

The Company will be the operator of the joint venture and will be solely responsible for all mining and<br />

development expenditure in connection with the mining of ore including funding approved work programs.<br />

The Company’s expenditure responsibility includes the employment or engagement of any personnel and<br />

the maintaining of relevant insurances concerning the operations and the joint venture. Reed Resources Ltd<br />

will be solely responsible for all expenditure in connection with the transport and treatment of ore produced<br />

from the Tenement Area together with all surface exploration conducted on the Tenement Area. All other<br />

Page 60


expenditure will be borne by the parties in accordance with their participating 50% interests.<br />

The product entitlement of the joint venture parties is each of the Company and Reed Resources Ltd will be<br />

entitled to 50% of the product from shallow ore being gold ore produced within the Tenement Area up to and<br />

including a depth of 243 metres. The product entitlement in respect of deep ore, being gold ore produced<br />

within the Tenement Area from a depth exceeding 243 metres, is the Company will be 60% entitled to the<br />

product whilst Reed Resources Ltd will be 40% entitled to the product.<br />

The agreement provides for a gold production milestone of at least 25,000 ounces of gold ore by 31 May<br />

2009. If the gold production milestone is not satisfied, Reed Resources Ltd may terminate the agreement by<br />

notice in writing to the Company with the consequence that the participating interest of the Company in the<br />

joint venture will be deemed to be zero. Additionally, if the gold production milestone is not satisfied, the<br />

Company becomes insolvent or withdraws from the joint venture, then Reed Resources Ltd may purchase<br />

various office and mining equipment owned by the Company at the then written down value. If the gold<br />

production milestone is satisfied, Reed Resources Ltd is obliged to transfer 50% of its registered interest in the<br />

joint venture tenements to the Company.<br />

Surface resources amenable to open pit mining are excluded areas from the joint venture and are reserved for<br />

the benefit of Reed Resources Ltd. Reed Resources Ltd cannot commence open pit operation on any part of<br />

the Tenement Area where the Company reasonably expects that open pit operations would detrimentally affect<br />

current or future underground mining activities.<br />

The Company has a first right of refusal to form a joint venture with Reed Resources Ltd in respect of all gold<br />

and silver mineralisation occurring upon the Comet Vale Tenements on terms similar to the joint venture<br />

however the Company will earn no right to a registered holding in the Comet Vale Tenements. The Comet<br />

Vale Tenements constitute mining leases M 29/85, M 29/185, M 29/186, M 29/270, M 29/35, M 29/197, M<br />

29/198, M 29/199, M 29/200, M 29/201, M 29/232, M 29/233, M 29/235, exploration licences E 29/614, E<br />

29/603 and E 29/670 and prospecting licence P 29/1764.<br />

The joint venture will be conducted on a day to day basis by the Company as the operator subject to<br />

instructions of the management committee. Each party at the management committee level is entitled to<br />

votes equalling its participating share in the joint venture. While there are two parties to the joint venture, all<br />

management committee decisions must be unanimous.<br />

No party may assign its rights or obligations under the agreement without the written consent of the other<br />

party.<br />

The agreement otherwise features clauses common in mining joint venture agreements including withdrawal,<br />

default, pre-emptive right, force majeure and dispute resolution clauses. The agreement is governed by the<br />

laws of Western Australia.<br />

3. MTAB Pty Ltd Royalty Deed<br />

By a royalty deed dated 14 May 2002 as amended, Reed Resources Ltd (together with the Company from the<br />

date of acquiring its interest in the joint venture) is liable to pay MTAB Pty Ltd a royalty upon production.<br />

The total royalty payable to MTAB Pty Ltd for gold produced from the joint venture tenements is 2% of the<br />

gross proceeds received from the sale of any gold. The royalty payable from the sale of any minerals other<br />

than gold produced from the joint venture tenements is 2% of the net smelter return received from the sale of<br />

the product at the point of sale less selling costs, the costs of mining, milling, leaching, smelting, refining and<br />

any other processing costs, the cost of assaying and sampling such products and taxes imposed in connection<br />

with producing or selling the product.<br />

Upon completion of the sale transaction under the Asset Sale Agreement, the joint venture parties will be Reed<br />

Resources Ltd and the Company which will each have a 50% participating interest and they will each be liable<br />

to pay the royalties in accordance with their participating interest.<br />

The royalty deed is governed by the laws of Western Australia.<br />

12.3 Rights and Liabilities Attaching to Shares<br />

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are:<br />

• detailed in the Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the registered office of<br />

the Company during normal business hours; and<br />

• in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.<br />

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This<br />

summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of<br />

Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.<br />

Voting<br />

At any meeting, each Shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for<br />

each Share held either upon a show of hands or by a poll. Holders of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of<br />

a vote for each partly paid share held with the fractional vote of each share being equivalent to the proportion<br />

which the amount actually paid (not credited) for that share is of the total amounts paid and payable<br />

(excluding amounts credited) for that share. Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating<br />

proportions.<br />

The holder of a partly paid share shall not be entitled to vote at a meeting in respect of those shares on which<br />

calls are outstanding.<br />

General Meetings<br />

Each Shareholder in the Company will be entitled to receive notice of and attend and vote at general meetings<br />

of the Company. The Directors may whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of the members of<br />

the Company and the Directors will convene a general meeting whenever requisitioned by the members in<br />

accordance with the Corporations Act.<br />

Dividends<br />

The profits of the Company, which the Directors may from time to time determine to distribute to the<br />

members by way of dividend, will be divisible amongst the members in proportion to the amounts paid (not<br />

credited) on the shares held by them, subject to the rights attached to any shares issued upon special terms.<br />

An amount paid in advance of a call is not to be included as an amount paid on a share for the purposes of<br />

calculating entitlement to dividends for such a share.<br />

No dividend is currently declared or proposed.


Rights on Winding Up<br />

Subject to the rights of members (if any) entitled to shares with special rights in a winding up, all moneys and<br />

property that are to be distributed amongst members on a winding up, shall be distributed in proportion to the<br />

shares held by them.<br />

Transfer of Shares<br />

Subject to the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any other applicable<br />

law of Australia, Shares are freely transferable.<br />

Variation of Rights<br />

The rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to shares of a class, can be altered, with the approval of a<br />

special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of that class, (being a three<br />

quarters majority of those holders who, being entitled to do so, vote at that meeting) or with the written<br />

consent of the holders of at least three quarters of that class of share on issue. Any variation is subject to the<br />

provisions of the Corporations Act.<br />

Creation and Issue of Further Shares<br />

The issue and allotment of any additional shares is under the control of the Directors, and, subject to any<br />

restriction on the issue and allotment of shares imposed by the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations<br />

Act, the Listing Rules or as may be directed by the members of the Company at a general meeting, the<br />

Directors may issue and allot such shares on such terms and conditions and with such rights and privileges as<br />

they deem fit.<br />

Predominance of Listing Rules<br />

If the Company is admitted to trading on the official list of the ASX, then despite anything in the Constitution,<br />

if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution<br />

prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be<br />

done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If<br />

the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, the<br />

Constitution is deemed to contain that provision. If the Listing Rules require the Constitution not to contain<br />

a provision and it contains such a provision, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision. If a<br />

provision of the Constitution is inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain<br />

that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.<br />

12.4 Rights Attaching to Management Options and Future Entitlements Options<br />

Otherwise the material terms of the Options will be in terms of the following:<br />

(b) The Options are exercisable at any time prior to the expiry date.<br />

(c)<br />

Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (Bonus Shares). The Bonus<br />

Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same<br />

manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the<br />

other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.<br />

In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the<br />

issued capital of the Company prior to the expiry date, all rights of an Option holder are to be changed<br />

in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules.<br />

In the event that the Company makes a pro rata issue of securities, the exercise price of the Options<br />

will be adjusted in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 6.22.2.<br />

and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors<br />

considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances in relation to the payment of dividends, or the franking<br />

credits attached to such dividends, can be given.<br />
