Table 1.2 Interests of David Zohar and associates, Zhukov Pervan and associates and Iron Mountain Mining Limited in United Orogen Limited

United Orogen beneficially holds 23,732,341 shares in the Company and therefore has a relevant interest of 17.5% in the Company. David Zohar and associates hold a 28.6% interest in United Orogen and therefore have a relevant interest in other securities held by United Orogen under s608(3).

The Company holds 770,379 shares in United Orogen and therefore has a relevant interest of 1.0% in United Orogen. David Zohar and associates have a 41.0% voting power in the Company and therefore have a relevant interest in the securities in United Orogen and in other securities under s608(3).

RESOLUTION 1 – PURCHASE OF SECURITIES IN SHORTFALL OFFER OF UNITED OROGEN LIMITED

Background to Resolution 1

United Orogen has made a non-renounceable offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in United Orogen on the basis that every two (2) shares held by shareholders of United Orogen gives those shareholders the right to subscribe for one (1) new share at an issue price of 3 cents per new share plus one (1) free attached option, exercisable at 20 cents on or before 31 March 2016. If any shareholders of United Orogen do not take up their rights to subscribe for new shares, there is a shortfall offer to any other non-shareholders who wish to subscribe for new shares on the same terms. The non-renounceable offer closed on 27 May 2011, leaving a shortfall of 20,329,279 shares and options. The shortfall offer opened on 28 May 2011 and remains open for 3 months.

The Directors of the Company have resolved to purchase securities in the shortfall offer of United Orogen up to an amount of 20,000,000 shares and 20,000,000 free attaching options to acquire a share in United Orogen for the consideration of up to \$600,000. The Directors of the Company have resolved that if 20,000,000 shares and options are not available to be purchased in the shortfall offer, then they will purchase the maximum amount available which is less then 20,000,000 shares.

The shares and options will be granted within 1 month of the meeting if shareholder approval is obtained.

The full terms and conditions of the United Orogen rights issue is set out in the Replacement Prospectus of United Orogen. A copy of the United Orogen Replacement Prospectus in its entirety appears as Annexure "A" to this memorandum.

David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are directors of the Company and are also directors of United Orogen. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.1, David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are persons in a position of influence in both the Company and United Orogen. Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.1 a company is required to obtain shareholder approval prior to entering into a transaction with a person in a position of influence.

In the circumstances the Company is required to obtain the approval of shareholders to enable the transaction contemplated by Resolution 1 to proceed.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.10, to obtain the approval of shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.1 the Company has obtained a report on the transaction from an independent expert, being MGI Perth. The independent expert has concluded that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the nonassociated shareholders of the Company. A copy of the independent expert report in its entirety appears as Annexure "B" to this memorandum.

Regulatory Requirements

Corporations Act – Chapter 2E

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party, unless it has the approval of its members. David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are directors of the Company and of United Orogen. David Zohar and associates have a 41.0% voting power in the Company and a 28.6% relevant interest in United Orogen. The Company currently holds a 1.0% relevant interest in United Orogen.

The Company currently holds 770,379 shares and 256,793 options in United Orogen. If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will hold up to 20,770,379 shares and 20,256,793 options in United Orogen. This will increase the Company's shareholding in United Orogen from 1.0% to 21.5%. David Zohar and associates will also therefore increase their relevant interest in United Orogen because they have a 41.0% voting power in the Company. See Tables 1.3 and 1.4 below.

The following information in respect of the proposed share issue is provided to meet the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act:

(a) Who is the related party?

The related parties are United Orogen Limited, David Zohar and associates and Zhukov Pervan and associates.

(b) What is the nature of the financial benefit?

The financial benefit being provided to United Orogen is up to \$600,000 in exchange for up to 20,000,000 shares and 20,000,000 options in United Orogen as part of the shortfall offer as set out in the Replacement Prospectus for United Orogen annexed to this memorandum as Annexure "A".

(c) What do the directors recommend?

In relation to Resolution 1:

  • Simon England makes no recommendation because he has provided legal advice to the Company and United Orogen.
  • Robert Sebek recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. Mr Sebek bases his recommendation on the information contained in the independent experts' report and in the United Orogen Replacement Prospectus. Further, Mr Sebek is of the view that the shortfall share offer is a good investment for the Company considering that United Orogen has worthwhile potential projects and is a major shareholder of the Company.
  • David Zohar makes no recommendation as he has an interest in the outcome.
  • Zhukov Pervan makes no recommendation as he has an interest in the outcome.
  • (d) Do any directors have an interest in the outcome of the proposed resolution?

None of the directors have a personal interest in the outcome of the proposed resolutions, save for David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan in that they are directors and shareholders of United Orogen and the Company.

(e) What other information known by the directors would reasonably be required by members regarding the resolution?

If the Company purchases 20,000,000 shares in United Orogen as a shortfall application as contemplated under Resolution 1, the percentage of shares on issue in United Orogen in which the Company would have a relevant interest would increase from 1.0% to 21.5% on the assumption that no further shares are issued by United Orogen.

Corporations Act – Part 6.1

Section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person, from acquiring a "relevant interest" (defined in the Corporations Act as holding or controlling the vote attached to or the disposal of a security) in issued voting shares in a company where as a result of that acquisition that person's or some other person's voting power in the company increases from a level that is below 20% to above 20% or from a level above 20% to below 90%.

A person's "voting power" for these purposes is defined as the total number of votes attached to voting shares in the company in which that person or his associate has a relevant interest expressed as a percentage of the total number of votes attached to all voting shares in the relevant company.

After resolution 1 is passed, the Company will hold a 21.5% relevant interest in United Orogen. This increases the Company's relevant interest from 1.0% to 21.5%. Because David Zohar and associates have a 41.0% voting power in the Company, this increased interest of 20.5% of the Company in United Orogen may increase David Zohar and associate's voting power in United Orogen from 28.6% to 44.2% as a result of the Company's 21.5% relevant interest through its shareholding in United Orogen.

If the Company exercises their 20,000,000 options from Resolution 1 before 31 March 2016 and assuming no other shares were issued in that time, the Company would hold 40,770,379 shares in United Orogen and 256,793 options and have a relevant interest of 34.9%.

6.4 Entitlements and Acceptance

A personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanies this Replacement Prospectus. Shareholders who wish to accept all or part of their Entitlement must complete and lodge their Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with the appropriate acceptance monies in accordance with the instructions set out on that form.

If you decide not to accept your Entitlement, you need not do anything. However, your percentage shareholding in the Company will be diluted. If you decide not to accept all or part of your Entitlement, the New Shares not accepted by you will form part of the Shortfall Offer and your Entitlement to subscribe for New Shares under the Rights Issue will be dealt with in accordance with Section 6.5 of this Replacement Prospectus.

The number of New Shares accepted on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form must not exceed the entitlement shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly or if the accompanying payment is for the wrong amount, it may be still accepted by the Company. The Company's decision as to whether to accept the application and how to construe, amend or complete it shall be final, but no Applicant will be treated as having offered to purchase more New Shares than is indicated by the amount of the cheque for the application monies and any surplus application monies will be returned, without interest.

Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms together with the appropriate application monies must reach the Company's share registry at the following address on or before the Closing Date:

\$120,000.00

9

Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited Locked Bag 2508 PERTH WA 6001

Any Entitlement not accepted will form part of the Shortfall Offer to be dealt with in accordance with Section 6.5 of this Replacement Prospectus.

Payment must be made to United Orogen Limited by cheque crossed "not negotiable" and must be in Australian dollars.

6.5 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Rights Issue will form the Shortfall Offer. The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Shares and Options at their absolute discretion. Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Shortfall Shares and Options are invited to complete the field on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Replacement Prospectus and return it to the Company together with a separate cheque for the value of the Shortfall Shares. Non-Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Shortfall Shares and Options are invited to complete a Shortfall Application Form accompanying this Replacement Prospectus and return it to the Company together with a cheque for the value of the Shortfall Shares.

The Directors reserve the right to allot to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares and Options than the number for which the Applicant applies for on their Shortfall Application Form, or to reject an application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall.

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Replacement Prospectus and will remain open for up to three (3) months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Shortfall Shares shall be 3 cents, being the price at which New Shares have been offered under the Rights Issue. Any Shortfall Shares and Options placed through holders of Australian Financial Services Licences may be paid a fee for doing so.

6.6 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS for those investors who have a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Securities allotted to them under this Replacement Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

6.7 ASX Listing

Application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered by this Replacement Prospectus has been made. If the New Shares are not admitted to quotation on ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of this Replacement Prospectus, the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all acceptance and application monies for the New Shares as soon as practicable, without interest.

The fact that ASX may admit the New Shares offered by this Replacement Prospectus to quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares and Options.

6.8 Opening and Closing Dates

The Rights Issue will open for acceptances of Entitlements on 18 April 2011. The Closing Date for acceptances will be 27 May 2011. The Directors reserve the right to vary the Opening Date and Closing Date, subject to compliance with ASX Listing Rules.

6.9 Participation

All Shareholders at the Record Date are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue on the basis of one (1) New Share plus one free attached Option for every two (2) Shares held on the Record Date. Any holders of Shares issued and allotted as a result of existing Options being exercised prior to the Record Date will also be able to participate in the Rights Issue.

6.10 Allotment

New Shares will be allotted within 6 Business Days after the Closing Date.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, all application monies shall, before allotment and issue of New Shares and Options pursuant to this Replacement Prospectus, be held by the Company in trust in a bank account established solely for that purpose. Any interest earned on the acceptance money will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by it irrespective of whether allotment of the New Shares takes place.

6.11 Overseas Eligible Shareholders

No offer of New Shares will be made to Shareholders resident outside Australia and New Zealand.

The Company will be applying for relief from the statutory requirement for a nominee to be appointed to handle the entitlements of foreign shareholders to whom offers cannot practicably be made.

In the event that relief is not granted the Company will, subject to the approval of the ASIC, appoint a nominee for foreign holders of the Company's securities. The nominee's role is to subscribe for and be issued with the New Shares that would otherwise have been issued to foreign shareholders if the rights issue had been made available to them and they had accepted. The nominee will arrange for the sale of those New Shares and if they are sold arrange for the net proceeds to be sent to the foreign holders.

New Shares to which any Shareholders who are not resident in Australia or New Zealand would otherwise be entitled will form part of the Shortfall.

This Replacement Prospectus and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not, nor are they intended to constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

6.12 Enquiries

Enquiries concerning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form should be directed to Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited by telephone on 1300 557 010 (within Australia) or +61 (0)8 9323 2000 or facsimile on +61 (0)8 9323 2033.

7. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES

7.1 Rights and Liabilities Attaching to the New Shares

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Replacement Prospectus will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Shares.

The rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution of the Company. These rights include (but are not limited to) the following:

Voting Rights: Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares (at present there are none) and provided no amount due and payable in respect of a call is unpaid, at a general meeting of the Company every holder of ordinary shares present in person or by proxy, attorney, or representative has on a show of hands one vote and on a poll one vote per share (provided that partly paid shares confer a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion that the amount paid bears to the total issue price of those shares).

Dividend Rights: Subject to the Constitution and to the rights attaching to shares issued on special conditions (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Directors may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible among the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the number of shares held by them respectively and are paid irrespective of the amount paid or credited as paid on those shares.

Rights on Winding-up: Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the rights of holders of shares with special rights in a winding-up (at present there are none), on a winding-up of the Company all monies and property that are to be legally distributed among Shareholders on a winding-up will be distributed in proportion to the shares held by them respectively, irrespective of the amount paid up or credited as paid up on the shares. However, where a member is in arrears in payment of any call on shares but whose shares (of whatever class) have not been actually forfeited, that member is not entitled to share in that distribution until the owing amount in respect of the call has been fully paid and satisfied.

Transfer of Shares: Except as provided by law, the ASX Listing Rules, the SCH Business Rules and the Constitution, the Company's shares are freely transferable.

Issue of Further Shares: The allotment and issue of any new shares is under the control of the Directors and, subject to any restrictions on the allotment of shares imposed by the Company's Constitution, the ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act, the Directors may issue those new shares on such terms and conditions, and with such rights and at such times, as they may determine.

Variation of Rights: At present the Company has only ordinary shares on issue. If shares of another class are issued, the rights and privileges attaching to the ordinary shares can only be altered with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the ordinary shares or, failing that with the written consent of the holders of at least three-quarters in nominal value of the ordinary shares.

General Meetings: Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and (subject to the Constitution) vote at, general meetings of the Company.

A copy of the Company's Constitution is available for inspection by prospective investors at the Company's registered office.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS EXPIRING 31 MARCH 2016

(AMOUNT PAYABLE: 20 CENTS)

1. Entitlement

Each Option shall entitle the holder the right to subscribe (in cash) for one (1) Share in the capital of the Company.

2. Option Period

Each Option will expire at 5.00pm WST on 31 March 2016 (such date being referred to as the "Option Expiry Date"). Each Option may be exercised at any time prior to the Option Expiry Date in accordance with the notice provisions set out below and any Option not so exercised shall automatically expire on the Option Expiry Date.

3. Ranking of Share Allotted on Exercise of Option

Each Share allotted as a result of the exercise of an Option will, subject to the Constitution of the Company, rank in all respects pari passu with the existing Shares in the capital of the Company on issue at the date of allotment.

  1. Voting

A registered owner of an Option (herein referred to as an "Option Holder") will not be entitled to attend or vote at any meeting of the members of the Company unless they are, in addition to being Option Holder, members of the Company.

  1. Transfer of an Option

Each Option is transferable at any time prior to the Option Expiry Date. This right is subject to any restrictions on the transfer of an Option that may be imposed by the ASX in circumstances where the Company is listed on ASX.

    1. Method of Exercise of an Option
  • a. The Company will provide to each Option Holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options (herein such notice being called a "Notice of Exercise of Options"). Options may be exercised by the Option Holder completing the Notice of Exercise of Options and forwarding the same to the Secretary of the Company to be received prior to the Option Expiry Date. The Notice of Exercise of Options must state the number of Options exercised and the consequent number of Shares in the capital of the Company to be allotted; which number of Options must be a multiple of 10,000 if only part of the Option Holders total Options are exercised, or if the total number of Options held by an Option Holder is less than 10,000, then the total of all Options held by that Option Holder must be exercised.
  • b. The Notice of Exercise of Options by an Option Holder must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of Shares being subscribed, being an amount of 20 cents (\$0.20) per Share.
  • c. Subject to Clause 7 hereof, the exercise of less than all of an Option Holders Options will not prevent the Option Holder from exercising the whole or any part of the balance of the Option Holders entitlement under the Option Holders remaining Options.

  • d. Within 14 days from the date the Option Holder properly exercises Options held by the Option Holder, the Company shall issue and allot to the Option Holder that number of Shares in the capital of the Company so subscribed for by the Option Holder.

  • e. If the Company is listed on the ASX, the Company will within seven (7) days from the date of issue and allotment of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, apply to the ASX for, and use its best endeavours to obtain, Official Quotation of all such Shares, in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
  • f. The Company will generally comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules in relation to the timetables imposed when quoted Options are due to expire. Where there shall be any inconsistency between the timetables outlined herein regarding the expiry of the Options and the timetable outlined in the Listing Rules, the timetable outlined in the Listing Rules shall apply.

7. Reconstruction

In the event of a reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to the reconstruction of capital, at the time of the reconstruction.

  1. Participation in New Share Issues

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in any new issues of capital which may be made or offered by the Company to its Shareholders from time to time prior to the Option Expiry Date unless and until the Options are exercised. The Company will ensure that during the exercise period of the Options, the Record Date for the purposes of determining Entitlements to any new such issue, will be at least 6 Business Days after such new issues are announced (or such other date if required under the Listing Rules) in order to afford the Option Holder an opportunity to exercise the Options held by the Option Holder.

  1. Change of Options' Exercise Price or Number of Underlying Shares.

There are no rights to change the exercise price or the number of underlying Shares if there is a pro-rata issue or bonus issue to the holders of Shares.

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Risk Factors

An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Replacement Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

Exploration Risk

The mineral tenements of the Company are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the project areas, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Operating Risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including:

  • failure to locate or identify mineral deposits;
  • failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining;
  • operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining;
  • difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment;
  • mechanical failure or plant breakdown;
  • unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs;
  • adverse weather conditions and acts of God;
  • industrial and environmental accidents;
  • industrial disputes; and
  • unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

Resource Estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company's operations.

Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks

If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious, base and other metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other economic factors.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

Environmental Risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

Title Risks and Native Title

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which the Company has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected. The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.

Share Market Conditions

The market price of the Securities and the value of the Company will be subject to fluctuations in line with the volatility of the share market in general. The prices for the Securities on the ASX may rise or fall due to numerous factors such as general economic conditions, variations in the global and local markets for listed securities generally, movements in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates, currency fluctuations, commodity prices, changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors and the demand for, and supply of, capital stock, securities or commodities.

The prices for shares for many companies have in recent times been subject to wild fluctuations which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions, acts of terrorism and the general state of the economy. Such market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the Securities.

There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Securities will develop or that the price of the Securities will increase. The number of buyers and sellers of the Securities on the ASX at any time may increase the volatility of the market price of the Securities and may also affect the prevailing market price at which Applicants are able to sell their Securities.

General Investment Risks

The Company's future possible revenue and operations may be affected by a number of factors which are beyond the control of the Company. Those factors include:

  • local and world economic conditions;
  • interest rates;
  • levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practice;
  • government legislation or intervention;
  • inflation or inflationary expectations; and
  • natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia or overseas.

New Resources Tax

The Commonwealth Government has announced a proposal to introduce legislation to establish a Minerals Resources Rent tax. It was announced that the proposed new tax will become operational from 1 July 2012 and apply to the mining of iron ore and coal.

Full details of the new tax have not been confirmed and in those circumstances the Company is not in a position to assess the impact, if any, of such tax on the Company going forward.

Regulatory

The introduction of new policies, legislation or amendments to existing policies or legislation by governments or the interpretation of those laws in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern the Company's operations or contractual obligations could impact adversely on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Securities.

Additional Funding Requirements

The Directors expect that the proceeds of the Offer will provide sufficient working capital to enable the Company to achieve its initial business objectives. The Directors can, however, give no assurances that such objectives will in fact be met without future borrowings or further capital raisings and, if such borrowings or capital raisings are required, that they can be obtained on terms favourable to the Company.

In addition, expenditure may need to be incurred which has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Replacement Prospectus. Although the Company is not aware of any additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

Uninsured Risks

Exploration for and development of minerals involves risks which could result in the Company incurring losses and liabilities to third parties. There is a risk that the Company may not be insured against all losses or liabilities which could arise from its operations. If the Company incurs losses or liabilities which are not covered by its insurance policies, the funds available for exploration and development will be reduced and the value and/or tenure of the Company's assets may be materially affected.

Specific Risks associated with the Company

There are also a number of specific risks associated with the Company which may adversely affect the Company's financial position, prospects and price of its Securities. In particular, the Company is subject to risks relating to the exploration and development of mineral properties which are not generally associated with other businesses.

Set out below are specific risks that may adversely affect the Company:

  • the Company cannot guarantee that those tenements that are applications for tenements will ultimately be granted in whole or in part pursuant to the Mining Act;
  • the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum ("Department") from time to time reviews the environmental bonds that are placed on tenements. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company;
  • the estimated exploration costs of the Company described in section 6.3 of this Replacement Prospectus are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice and this may materially and adversely affect the Company's viability;
  • the approval processes for uranium mining are more rigorous than for the mining of other metals, as both Commonwealth and State Government legislation needs to be satisfied. There is a risk that, should economic deposits of uranium be discovered, the necessary government approvals may not be granted, or may be significantly delayed.

8.2 Interests of Directors

Other than as set out below or elsewhere in this Replacement Prospectus, no Director (whether individually or in consequence of a Director's association with any company or firm or in any material contract entered into by the Company) has or had within 2 years before the lodgement of this Replacement Prospectus with the ASIC, any interest in:

  • the promotion or formation of the Company; or
  • any property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion or the Rights Issue; or
  • the Rights Issue.

Other than as set out below or elsewhere in this Replacement Prospectus, no amounts of any kind (whether in cash, Shares, Options or otherwise) have been paid or agreed to be paid to any Director or to any company or firm with which a Director is associated, and no benefits have been given or agreed to be given to any Director or to any company or firm with which a Director is associated to induce him to become, or to qualify as, a Director or otherwise for services rendered by him or his company or firm with which the Director is associated in connection with the formation or promotion of the Company or the Rights Issue.

Directors' Remuneration

The existing Board of Directors consists of a Managing Director, 2 non-executive Directors and an executive Director. Shareholders have approved the Company paying Directors' fees of up to a maximum of \$100,000.00 per annum to be divided between Directors as they see fit, until such time as any different amount is approved by Shareholders. The current policy is to pay non-executive Directors \$45,000.00 per annum.

In the 2 years to the date of this Replacement Prospectus, Dr Zhukov Pervan was paid Directors' fees totalling \$75,000.00 including superannuation.

In the 2 years to the date of this Replacement Prospectus, John Karajas was paid Directors' fees totalling \$75,000.00 including superannuation.

The Directors are entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or in connection with the performance of their duties as Directors. Subject to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, if a Director is called upon to perform extra duties or make special exertions on behalf of the Company, the Directors may remunerate that Director which may either be in addition to or in substitution for his usual Director's fees.

Proposed transaction with Iron Mountain Mining Limited:

The Company has entered into 2 transactions with Iron Mountain Mining Limited ("Iron Mountain "). Iron Mountain is a related party of the Company. David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are directors of both Iron Mountain and the Company.

As the Company and Iron Mountain are related parties the transactions are subject to the approval of the shareholders of Iron Mountain and the Company. The Company has prepared a notice of meeting and explanatory memorandum in relation to the transactions ("Notice of Meeting") and proposes to send Shareholders a copy of the Notice of Meeting at the same time as this Replacement Prospectus. The Notice of Meeting contains important information and the Directors recommend that Shareholders and investors review the Notice of Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt the Notice of Meeting is being incorporated by reference under section 712 of the Corporations Act.

In summary the Notice of Meeting contains the following resolutions:

  1. Sale of 113 Mackie Street, Victoria Park to Iron Mountain

The consideration to be provided by Iron Mountain to the Company is:

  • (a) \$85,000.00;
  • (b) 10 million fully paid ordinary shares in Iron Mountain; and
  • (c) 15 million options in Iron Mountain exercisable at 20 cents each on or before 1 May 2016.
    1. Sale of tenements to Iron Mountain

The Company proposes to sell its interests in Exploration Licences E25329, E25894, E25346 to Iron Mountain. The consideration to be provided by Iron Mountain to the Company is:

  • (a) 3.5 million shares fully paid ordinary shares in Iron Mountain; and
  • (b) 15 million options in Iron Mountain exercisable at 20 cents each on or before 1 May 2016.
    1. Grant of Options to Noel Taylor

It is proposed that the Company grant Noel Taylor, the Company's Managing Director, 2 million options in the Company exercisable at 20 cents each on or before 1 May 2016.

The proposed transactions could have an significant effect on the voting power of David Zohar and associates in Iron Mountain.

As set out in more detail in the Notice of Meeting, if resolutions 1 and 2 above are passed the Company's relevant interest in Iron Mountain will increase from 8.49% to 17.5%. David Zohar and associates would also hold a 22.9% relevant interest in Iron Mountain. In these circumstances David Zohar and associates could potentially have a voting power of 40.4% in Iron Mountain. This is based on David Zohar and associates having voting power in the Company from their 23.8% relevant interest. In addition, if the Company were to exercise the options it will be issued if resolutions 1 and 2 above are passed, David Zohar and associates could potentially have a voting power of 51.2% in Iron Mountain. David Zohar and associates also hold options in Iron Mountain. If these options are exercised in the future David Zohar and associates could obtain a further relevant interest in Iron Mountain taking their voting power to 54.6%.

Shareholders and investors should refer to the Notice of Meeting for further details of the proposed transaction and David Zohar and associates' voting power in Iron Mountain.

The Company will provide a copy of the Notice of Meeting, free of charge, to any shareholder or investor who so requests a copy during the application period under this Replacement Prospectus. All requests for a copy of the Notice of Meeting should be addressed to the Company Secretary, United Orogen Limited, Level 7, 231 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, Western Australia or facsimile (08) 9225 6474.

In addition if no shareholder other than David Zohar and associates (including Iron Mountain) take up their entitlement to New Shares and Options under this Replacement Prospectus and David Zohar and associates (including Iron Mountain) exercises all of their Options David Zohar and associates (including Iron Mountain) relevant interest in the Company could increase from 24.59% to 39.18% (see table below). David Zohar and associates have voting power in Iron Mountain from their 25.5% relevant interest in Iron Mountain.

Dear Sirs

INDEPENDENT EXPERT REPORT

1. INTRODUCTION

MGI Perth Corporate Finance Pty Ltd ("MGICF") has been requested by Iron Mountain Mining Ltd ("IRM" or "the Company") to prepare an Independent Expert"s Report in relation to the proposed purchase of up to 20,000,000 shares with 20,000,000 free attaching options in the Shortfall Offer of the rights issue of United Orogen Limited ("UOG") which under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 and Section 208 of the Corporations Act 2001 requires shareholder approval at the forthcoming General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on or about 26 August 2011. The purchase of securities in the Shortfall Offer in UOG is collectively referred to in this report as the "Proposed Transaction".

Resolution 1 of the Notice of Meeting comprises:

To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:

"That for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.1 of the Listing Rules of the ASX and section 208 of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, the Directors of the Company be authorised to purchase up to 20,000,000 (TWENTY MILLION) shares and 20,000,000 options in the shortfall offer of the rights issue of United Orogen Limited on the terms set out in the Explanatory Memorandum."

Resolution 1 of the attached Notice of Meeting seek shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction.

To assist shareholders in making a decision on the resolution, the directors have requested that MGICF prepare an independent expert's report, which must state whether, in the opinion of the independent expert, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable having regard to the interests of IRM shareholders other than those involved in the Proposed Transaction or associated with such persons and whose approval the Resolution giving effect to this transaction is required at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("non-associated shareholders of IRM").

The Summary of our opinion is set out in Section 2 of this Report.

A brief summary of the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 3 of this Report and a detailed outline is set out fully in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying the Notice of Meeting of IRM to be held on or about 26 August 2011.

We understand that this Report will accompany the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.

2. SUMMARY OF OPINION

  1. Based upon the information set out in this report, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable having regard to the interests of the non-associated shareholders of IRM.

MGICF has formed the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is fair because the value of IRM"s shares post the Proposed Transaction is equal to the value of the Company"s shares prior to the Proposed Transaction.

ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 (RG 111), states that an offer is reasonable if it is fair. Notwithstanding this, MGICF has also had regard to other relevant considerations in assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction. Further details are set out in Section 8 of this Report.

    1. Our opinion is based solely on the information available at the date of the report as detailed in Section 9.
    1. The principal factors that we have taken into account in forming our opinion are set out in the supporting detail to this report.
    1. The decision of each shareholder as to whether to approve the Proposed Transaction is a matter for individual shareholders. This decision should be based on each shareholder"s views as to matters including value and future market conditions, risk profile, liquidity preferences, investment strategy, portfolio structure and tax positions. In particular, taxation consequences may vary from shareholder to shareholder. If shareholders are in any doubt, they should consult an independent professional adviser.
    1. The opinion should be read in conjunction with the full text of this report which follows after our Financial Services Guide, which sets out our scope and findings.

The supporting detail of our Report (set out in the sections that follow after our Financial Services Guide and Qualifications Declarations and Consents), comprises the following sections:

    1. Summary of the Proposed Transaction
    1. Purpose of the Report
    1. Basis of the Assessment

3. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

Iron Mountain Mining Limited ("IRM" or "the Company") is seeking shareholder approval for the acquisition of the shares and options in United Orogen Limited ("UOG") in accordance with Resolution 1 in the Notice of General Meeting to be held on or about 26 August 2011.

The background and key provisions of this Proposed Transaction are as summarised below:

  • UOG issued a Replacement Prospectus on 18 April 2011 for a pro rata non-renounceable entitlement of 1 new share for each 2 shares held at an issue price of 3 cents per new share ("the Rights Issue");
  • The new shares will include one free attaching option which will be granted for nil consideration. The free attached option has an exercise price of 20 cents exercisable on or before 31 March 2016;
  • Assuming that no existing options are exercised and full subscription is reached, the issue of new shares and options under the Replacement Prospectus will raise approximately \$971,593 before expenses;
  • Any entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Rights Issue forms the Shortfall Offer;
  • On 3 June 2011, UOG announced that 12,057,147 shares and options out of a total of 32,386,426 shares and options had been issued, thereby leaving a shortfall of 20,329,279 shares and options;
  • The Directors of IRM have resolved to purchase securities in the Shortfall Offer of up to 20,000,000 shares with 20,000,000 free attaching options for a consideration of up to \$600,000;
  • David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are both shareholders and directors of IRM and UOG. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10, David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are persons in a position of influence in both IRM and UOG;
  • Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.1, a company is required to obtain shareholder approval prior to entering into a transaction with a person in a position of influence; and
  • Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.1 and for all other purposes for IRM"s acquisition of the shares in UOG under the Shortfall Offer as described in the Explanatory Memorandum to the Notice of Meeting.

4. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Sections 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a person from acquiring a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a listed company if the person acquiring the interest does so through a transaction in relation to securities entered into by or on behalf of the person and because of the transaction, that person"s or someone else"s voting power in the company increases:

  • a) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or
  • b) from a starting point above 20% and below 90%.

The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined in accordance with Section 610 of the Corporations Act 2001. The calculation of a person"s voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person"s associates (as defined therein) have a relevant interest.

Section 611 of the Corporations Act 2001 provides that certain acquisitions of relevant interests in a company"s voting shares are exempt from the prohibition in Section 606(1) above, including acquisitions approved previously by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company in which the acquisition is made (Section 611, Item 7).

ASX Listing Rule 10.1 also provides that an entity (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a substantial asset from, or dispose of a substantial asset to, inter alia, a related party or a substantial holder (if the person and the person"s associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the 6 months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the voting securities).

At the date of this Report, IRM holds 770,379 shares and 256,793 options in UOG, representing an interest of 1% of shares on issue and 1.8% of options on issue in UOG. Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, IRM will acquire up to 20,000,000 shares and 20,000,000 free attaching options in UOG under the Shortfall Offer. If IRM acquires the maximum number of shares under the Proposed Transaction, IRM will increase the Company"s interest to 20,770,379 shares and 20,256,793 options in UOG, therefore, increase an interest in UOG to 21.5% of shares on issue and 59.5% of options on issue. Also, in the event that IRM purchases its full entitlement of shares and options, if it exercises all of its options (and assuming no other issues of shares), IRM"s interest in UOG would increase to approximately 34.9% of shares on issue. As a result, IRM will acquire a relevant interest in the issued voting shares in UOG in excess of the threshold prescribed by Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001.

UOG, in turn, holds 23,732,341 shares and 30,000,000 options in IRM, equating to an interest of 17.5% of shares on issue and 41.6% of options on issue in the Company.

Additionally, David Zohar ("Zohar") and Zhukov Pervan ("Pervan") are both shareholders and directors of IRM and UOG. At the date of this report, David Zohar and his spouse Julie Zohar and Swancove Enterprises Pty Ltd, a company controlled by David Zohar and Julie Zohar ("Zohar Group") own: -

  • 31,096,530 shares in IRM representing an interest of 22.9% of shares on issue in IRM;
  • 12,428,335 options in IRM that, if exercised (and assuming no other share issues occur) will increase the Zohar Group"s shareholding interest in IRM to 29.4% of shares on issue;
  • 21,995,721 shares in UOG representing an interest of 28.6% of shares on issue in UOG; and
  • 6,563,774 options in UOG that, if exercised (and assuming no other share issues occur) will increase the Zohar Group"s shareholding interest in UOG to 34.2% of shares on issue.

At the date of this report, Zhukov Pervan and his deemed associates own 2,100,000 shares and 2,500,000 options in IRM and 412,500 shares and 137,500 options in UOG. Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.1, a company is required to obtain shareholder approval prior to entering into a transaction with a person in a position of influence. Both David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan are deemed to be persons in a position of influence. As a result of the above, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1.

To assist shareholders in making a decision on the Proposed Transaction, the Directors have requested that MGICF prepare an Independent Expert's Report, which must state whether, in the opinion of the Independent Expert, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of IRM.

5. BASIS OF THE ASSESSMENT

Set out in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum accompanying this Report are the ASX Listing Rules provisions relevant to the Proposed Transaction and information in relation thereto. In preparing our Report, we have had regard to ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 and 112 relating to Independent Experts" Reports.

The term "fair and reasonable" has no legal definition although over time a commonly accepted interpretation has evolved. However, fair and reasonable has different meanings for different regulatory purposes.

ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 provides that the assessment of whether a proposal is fair and reasonable should involve a comparison of the likely advantages and disadvantages for non-associated shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is implemented and if they are not.

In essence, the proposal will be "fair and reasonable" if the non-associated shareholders are better off if the proposal is implemented. They will be better off if the expected benefits outweigh the disadvantages to the non-associated shareholders.

ASIC regulatory Guide 111, states, inter alia:

  • an offer is considered "fair" if the value of the offer price or consideration is equal to, or greater than, the value of the securities that are the subject of the offer.
  • an offer is considered "reasonable" if it is fair. It might also be "reasonable" if, despite being "not fair", the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.

ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 requires the assessment of "fair" to be made assuming 100% ownership of the company. It considers it to be inappropriate to apply a discount to the value of the securities under the offer that would normally be considered in the valuation of a minority interest to reflect such factors as a lack of control.

ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 also provides examples of factors that are relevant in an assessment of reasonableness. The form of analysis the expert uses to evaluate a transaction should address the issues faced by security holders.

In our opinion, for the purposes of this report "fairness" is taken to mean a reference to quantification of respective values of consideration being paid compared to the value of assets being transferred. This has been calculated in the context of the impact on IRM shares prior to and subsequent to the Proposed Transaction.

"Reasonableness" is taken to include consideration of other qualitative factors which can be assessed on objective grounds.

The assessment as to the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 8 of this Report.

6. VALUATION OF IRON MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED SHARES PRE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

6.1. VALUATION OVERVIEW

The usual approach to the valuation of an asset is to seek to determine what a willing but not anxious buyer, acting at arm's length, with adequate information, would be prepared to pay and a willing, but not anxious seller would be prepared to accept in an open market.

RG 111 outlines the appropriate methodologies that a valuer should consider when valuing assets or securities for the purposes of, amongst other things, share buy-backs, selective capital reductions, schemes of arrangement, acquisitions requiring approval by security holders, takeovers and prospectuses. These include:

  • Discounted cash flow (DCF) approach;
  • Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (earnings based) approach;
  • Orderly realisation of assets (asset based) approach;
  • Quoted price of listed securities (market value) approach; and
  • Comparable Market Transactions.

We have outlined these methodologies in Appendix 1 to this report. Each of these methodologies is appropriate in certain circumstances. The decision as to which methodology to use generally depends on the methodology most commonly adopted in valuing the asset in question and the availability of appropriate information. This is addressed further in Section 6.2 below.

6.2 VALUATION APPROACH

The traditional valuation method used to value companies is the capitalisation of future maintainable earnings, with such earnings being estimated using historical results. However, in order to adopt such a basis of valuation, a business must have a track record of profitability. As IRM does not have a track record of profitability, we consider a valuation on this basis to be inappropriate.

MGICF believes that the most appropriate method for valuing the issued shares in IRM is the asset-based approach. The most common form of asset based approach is the Net Realisable Value method. The resultant net realisable assets of the Company can then be expressed in terms of a value per share.

As noted in Section 6.3 of this Report, the major portion of IRM's assets (other than cash and cash equivalents) comprises exploration expenditure. In determining the net realisable value of these assets, we have considered available information regarding its key projects and, in particular, IRM"s 2010 Financial Report and Half Yearly Report to 31 December 2010. We also note that in both of these Reports the audit report and accounting policy note is free of any uncertainty regarding IRM"s ability to continue as a going concern.

As a crosscheck to the valuation on the above basis, MGICF has used the market value approach with reference to the market price of IRM shares prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction. This valuation crosscheck calculation is set out in Section 6.4.5 of this Report.

6.3 VALUE OF IRM'S SHARES PRE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

In establishing the value of IRM prior to the Proposed Transaction, the net asset backing per share has been determined based upon the reviewed position as at 31 December 2010 and the following subsequent material transactions:

  • Acquisition of 113 Mackie Street, Victoria Park, WA from UOG for the following consideration:
  • o The sum of \$85,000;
  • o The issue of 10,000,000 shares in IRM; and
  • o The grant of 15,000,000 options to acquire a share in IRM at an exercise price of 20 cents (\$0.20) each exercisable on or before 1 May 2016.
  • Acquisition of three mining exploration tenements from UOG for the following consideration:
  • o The issue of 3,500,000 shares in IRM; and
  • o The grant of 15,000,000 options to acquire a share in IRM at an exercise price of 20 cents (\$0.20) each exercisable on or before 1 May 2016.

Apart from above, we are not aware of any such material transactions other than as referred to in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum and in Note 1 to section 6.3.1 below. Valuation assessments were then carried out on assets and liabilities, with no adjustments being made in this respect.

This has resulted in a net asset backing per share of \$0.1123 pre Proposed Transaction, as calculated in the table below:

Notes

(i) IRM and Red River Resources Limited ("Red River") currently hold a 50:50 share in a Joint Venture agreement between the two entities for the Blythe Project in Tasmania, which consists of 6 granted exploration licences. On 28 March 2011 IRM announced that Forward Mining Ltd ("Forward Mining") has signed an option to acquire the Blythe Project for inclusion as its cornerstone project in its forthcoming Initial Public Offering targeted for the second half of 2011.

Under the general terms and conditions of the Option to Acquire, the following consideration is payable and to be split equally between IRM and Red River, subject to satisfactory completion of negotiated milestones:

  • Payment of \$50,000 which grants Forward Mining Ltd the sole and exclusive right to exercise the option by 31 July 2011;
  • The right to extend the exercise date of the option to 31 December 2011 with the payment of an additional \$50,000;
  • Payment of \$1,500,000 cash and the issue of 5 million ordinary shares in Forward Mining following admission to the Official list of the ASX;
  • Payment of \$2,000,000 upon a decision to mine from within the Blythe tenements;
  • Payment of \$2,000,000 upon the first shipment of iron ore extracted from the Blythe tenements; and
  • A royalty of 1.5% payable on the gross Free on Board revenue from all shipments of iron ore from the Blythe tenements.

No adjustment for the above transaction has been made in the assessment of the Proposed Transaction as, in our view, there is no certainty that the abovementioned conditions will be satisfied. Furthermore, the transaction is not considered to have a material impact on our assessment of the Proposed Transaction.

(ii) The number of shares on issue of 135,586,881 is in accordance with Appendix 3B New issued announcement, application for quotation of additional securities and agreement announced by the Company to ASX on 3 June 2011.

6.4.3 SHARE TRADING

The following summary provides details of the monthly trading volumes of IRM"s shares on ASX since 1 July 2010:

Month High Low Close Average
Volume
June 2011 (to 10 June) 0.12 0.10 0.11 7,900
May 2011 0.14 0.10 0.11 59,300

January 2011 0.23 0.14 0.17 331,300
December 2010 0.14 0.08 0.14 317,700

Based on the above table, from 1 December 2010, IRM"s share price has fluctuated from a low of 8 cents in December 2010 to a high of 23 cents in January 2011.

The share price has increased from 9 December 2010 pursuant to the announcement on that date regarding the High Grade Rock Chip Results at Miaree coupled with an earlier announcement on 6 December 2010 on the Huckitta update, although volumes have not been that substantial. The share price has peaked at 23 cents on 6 January 2011 but has gradually declined to 11.5 cents at 10 June 2011, a similar share price to that on 9 December 2010. It is also noted that the trading volume was 1,053,943 on 8 April 2011 pursuant to the announcement on that date regarding the results of the costeaning program undertaken at the Miaree Gold project. We have not noted a substantial increase in the share price on or subsequent to the announcement.

The above demonstrates a comparatively thin level of trading in IRM"s stock.

6.4.5 MARKET VALUE

Since 1 December 2010, IRM"s share price has fluctuated between 8 cents to 23 cents. This includes the following:

  • The Huckitta update on 6 December 2010;
  • High Grade Rock Chip Results announcement at Miaree on 9 December 2010; and
  • The results of the costeaning program undertaken at the Miaree Gold Project on 8 April 2011.

The valuation range determined in Section 6.3.1 is not inconsistent with this market value range having regard to the general market trends experienced by the majority of resource-based stocks listed on ASX.

7. VALUATION OF IRON MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED SHARES POST PROPOSED TRANSACTION

7.1 COMPONENTS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

The key component of the Proposed Transaction comprises:

Purchase of up to 20,000,000 shares (including 20,000,000 free attaching options) in the Shortfall Offer of the non-renounceable rights issue of United Orogen Limited ("UOG").

7.2 NET ASSET VALUATION POST PROPOSED TRANSACTION

7.2.1 Valuation assessment

In establishing the value of IRM following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the net asset backing per share has been determined based upon the reviewed position in accordance with Section 6.3.1 of this Report including the following adjustments referred to in Section 6.3:

a) Purchase of up to 20,000,000 shares in UOG

IRM will pay up to \$600,000 for the purchase of up to 20,000,000 shares at 3 cents each in UOG together with 20,000,000 free attaching options (refer to (b) below). This is in accordance with the Notice of General Meeting of Shareholders. The share price of UOG has been steady at close to 2.5 cents since 13 May 2011 (with an increase in the share price to 2.7 cents from 6 June 2011 to 8 June 2011).

b) Options issued as part of the purchase of 20,000,000 shares in UOG

The 20,000,000 free attaching options have not been valued as the total payable by IRM will be unaffected. Therefore, Investment in Associates of \$600,000 in Section 7.2.2 does not include the value of these 20,000,000 free attaching options. We note that the options are now listed on ASX, but there have not yet been any transactions therein to date (10th June 2011).

It should be noted that if IRM exercises all of the above options, it will be required to make a cash payment to IRM of \$4,000,000, being 20,000,000 options at 20 cents each. For the purpose of this Independent Expert"s Report, we have not included \$4,000,000 payment for the exercise of the options in the Adjusted Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2010 Post the Proposed Transaction in Section 7.2.2.

c) No adjustment has been made in respect of any potential taxation consequences in respect of the Proposed Transaction.

This has resulted in a net asset backing per share of \$0.1123 post the Proposed Transaction, as calculated below.

7.2.2 Adjusted Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2010 Post the Proposed Transaction

Please also refer to the attached notes below.

Notes

(i) The adjusted Balance Sheet comprises the reviewed (but unaudited) consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2010 adjusted for the acquisition of property and mining exploration tenements as described in Section 6.3.

(ii) The Post transaction cash balance comprises: \$
Cash Balance Pre Proposed Transaction 6,036,594
Purchase of 20,000,000 shares in UOG at 3 cents each (600,000)
Cash Balance Post Proposed Transaction ---------------
5,436,594
---------------

The above is based on IRM acquiring the maximum number of shares of 20,000,000. The total cash consideration for this transaction is \$600,000.

  • (iii) The purchase of 20,000,000 shares in UOG will increase IRM"s interest in UOG from 1% to 21.5% of shares on issue. As such, the investment has been classified as Investments in Associates, as defined by the Australia Accounting Standards (AASBs).
  • (iv) On 1 June 2011 the Company announced to ASX that it had issued 2,000,000 options to a director. These options have been valued at \$184,472 (9.2 cents per option) using the following key assumptions to prescribe a value to them:
  • The valuation was done using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology;
  • A grant date for the options of 1 June 2011;
  • An exercise price of 20 cents each;
  • A spot price for UOG shares of 11 cents;
  • A risk free rate of 4.95%; and
  • A volatility factor of 134.82%.

However, the \$184,472 has not been reflected in Section 7.2.2 Adjusted Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2010 Post the Proposed Transaction as the value has no impact on the net assets of the Company.

7.2.3 Background to United Orogen Group (UOG)

UOG has recently closed its rights issue under which it plans to raise up to a maximum of \$971,593. As referred to in Section 3, there was a shortfall of 20,329,279 shares of which IRM is proposing to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares. The funds raised under the rights issue will be used to progress exploration and development within UOG's portfolio of wholly and majority owned mining tenements that are prospective for gold, base metals and other mineralisation.

UOG"s key projects are summarised below:

Victorian Desert Project

This is located 250 kilometres east-northeast of Kalgoorlie is prospective for gold and base metals with soil anomalies for both of these metals being identified on the southern part of the project which UOG considers warrants further exploration. The northern part of the Victorian Desert Project has gold targets associated with northwest trending structural features identified by aeromagnetic surveys which need further exploration.

7.2.3 Background to United Orogen Group (UOG) (continued)

Horseshoe Project

The Horseshoe West tenement which is part of the Horseshoe Project is situated 4 kms to the north of the old Horseshoe Mine. UOG believes this area is very prospective for gold and wishes to carry out a sampling programme targeting gold mineralisation.

Other principal assets

The Company's other gold and base metal projects are also regarded as prospective and cover areas with anomalous sampling and/or geochemical and geophysical anomalies which UOG considers warrant further exploration.

Share Price

Since 1 December 2010 (to 10th June 2011) UOG"s share price has fluctuated between 2.3 cents (on 21 March 2011) and 5.0 cents (on 1 and 2 February 2011), the most recent trade (as at 10 June 2011) being at 2.5 cents.

The table above also identifies the low volume of transactions in UOG"s listed shares.

UOG"s interest in IRM

As referred to in Section 4, UOG holds 23,732,341 shares and 30,000,000 options in IRM, equating to a current interest of 17.5% of shares on issue and 41.6% of options on issue in the Company.

8. ASSESSMENT AS TO FAIRNESS AND REASONABLENESS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

8.1 Assessment as to Fairness

As noted in Section 5 of this Report, an offer is considered "fair" if the value of the consideration being offered is equal to, or greater than, the value of the securities that are the subject of the offer in the context of the impact on IRM shares prior to and subsequent to the Proposed Transaction. MGICF's assessment as to the fairness of the Proposed Transaction is set out below:

MGICF valuation of IRM shares prior to the MGICF valuation of IRM shares subsequent
Proposed Transaction to the Proposed Transaction
\$0.1123 \$0.1123

After consideration of the above, the Proposed Transaction is considered to be fair to the non-associated shareholders of IRM as the preferred value of a share after completion of the Proposed Transaction is equal to the value of IRM share prior to the Proposed Transaction.

8.2 Assessment as to Reasonableness

ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 states that an offer is reasonable if it is fair. Under this criterion, the value of IRM shares after the completion of the proposed transaction is equal to the value prior to the proposed transaction, therefore, the offer is reasonable. There are a number of other relevant factors to be considered in assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction. These factors are set out below as advantages and disadvantages.

8.2.1 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction proceeding:

Advantages of proceeding

  • The Proposed Transaction will increase IRM"s share holding in UOG from 1% to up to 21.5%. Additionally, two of IRM"s directors, David Zohar and Zhukov Pervan, are also directors of UOG. IRM will effectively be able to exercise significant influence over UOG by its ability to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of UOG;
  • In the event that IRM exercises its up to 20,000,000 free attaching options pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, it can increase its share holding in UOG to up to approximately 35% (if UOG issues no further shares). IRM and Zohar Group"s combined shareholding in UOG will be up to approximately 54% of shares on issue and, therefore, it will effectively control the financial and operating policy decisions of UOG;
  • The Proposed Transaction will give IRM the opportunity to increase its exposure to other areas of mineral exploration tenements through its increased holding in UOG; and
  • IRM will diversify its investments by increasing its investment in UOG, a listed entity on the ASX; and
  • The shares and options acquired under the Proposed Transaction are both listed on ASX and hence are potentially convertible into cash at short notice.

Disadvantages of proceeding

  • IRM will be required to pay a cash consideration of up to \$600,000 which will reduce available cash for other activities and planned commitments (albeit it will have a balance of some \$5.4 million after paying the consideration);
  • Trading volumes in UOG"s listed securities have been low, hence making it difficult to potentially realise a large parcel of shares in UOG;

Disadvantages of proceeding (continued)

  • IRM will have an increased exposure to any potential downturn in the value of UOG;
  • Under the investment in associates, IRM will account for its share of the profit or loss in UOG. Given the nature of the UOG"s activity, being a mineral exploration company, the investment in UOG could be substantially reduced through its share of losses in UOG; and
  • The 20,000,000 free attaching options are exercisable at 20 cents each on or before 31 March 2016. As at 10 June 2011, the closing share price of UOG was 2.5 cents. Therefore, it is not beneficial for IRM to exercise these free attaching options in the short term. As at 10 June 2011 there have been no trades in UOG"s listed options.

8.2.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction not Proceeding:

Advantages of not proceeding

IRM will avoid the disadvantages referred to above.

Disadvantages of not proceeding

If IRM decides not to proceed, it could lose a valuable investment opportunity should the share price of UOG increase over time.

In our opinion, on balance, the advantages of approving the Proposed Transaction are greater than the disadvantages. These advantages arise both as a result of implementing the Proposed Transaction and of avoiding the disadvantages that may arise as a result of not implementing the Proposed Transaction. Accordingly, in our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of IRM.

8.3 Conclusion

Based on the valuation of an IRM share and on the above assessment, MGICF is of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of IRM.

9. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

In making our assessment as to whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the nonassociated shareholders of IRM, we have reviewed relevant published available information and other unpublished information of the Company which is relevant in the circumstances. In addition, we have held discussions with the Company's directors and management. Information we have received includes, but is not limited to the following:

  • IRM's audited financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 and reviewed interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2010;
  • UOG's audited financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 and reviewed interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2010;
  • Recent ASX announcements lodged by IRM and UOG;
  • Share Price data for IRM and UOG; and
  • Draft Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum this Report will accompany.

APPENDIX 1 OVERVIEW OF VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

Discounted cash flow (DCF) approach

  • Discounted cash flow valuations ("DCF") involve projected cash flows being discounted by a discount rate which reflects the time value of money and the risk inherent in the cash flows. DCF valuations are arguably the most technically accurate method of valuing an asset or business, however, they suffer from the practical impediment that few companies have prepared cash flow forecasts of sufficient reliability over the necessary long time frame.
  • The DCF methodology is typically the most appropriate valuation methodology where there is adequate information about likely future cash flows and usually over a finite term.

Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (earnings based) approach

  • The capitalisation of earnings methodology involves capitalising the earnings of the business at a multiple which reflects the risks of the business and the stream of income it generates. This methodology requires the estimation of future maintainable earnings having regard to historical and forecast operating results, including sensitivity to key industry risk factors, future growth prospects and the general economic outlook. The estimated realisable value of any surplus assets is then added to the capitalised earnings.
  • The determination of an appropriate capitalisation rate will typically reflect a potential purchaser"s required rate of return, risks inherent in the business, future growth prospects and alternative investment opportunities. This methodology is the most commonly used method for the valuation of industrial companies, which have a proven operating history and a consistent earnings trend.

Orderly realisation of assets (asset based) approach

  • The realisation of net assets methodology is considered most appropriate where a business or company is not making an adequate return on its assets, where there are surplus non-operating assets or where investments are the primary asset. This methodology involves determining the net realisable value of the business" or company"s assets assuming an orderly realisation of those assets.

Quoted price for listed securities (market value) approach

  • This approach reflects the quoted price for the listed securities of the company being valued and is most suited when there is a liquid and active market in those securities (and allowing for the fact that the quoted price may not reflect their value where 100% of the securities are available for sale).

Comparable market transactions approach

  • This methodology entails obtaining information on any comparable transactions in the same industry for a similar entity to that being valued. If such transactions exist and the entity being valued is directly comparable to that being acquired, then the assets, revenue or earnings multiples, or other relevant measures employed in the actual transaction, can be utilised in the valuation.
  • This methodology suffers from the difficulty in sourcing detailed information on the transaction to determine the basis of the consideration and the comparability of the two businesses or entities.
