CHAIR’S LETTER
Dear Investor
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to become a
Shareholder in PVW Resources NL (Company or PVW).
The Company has acquired a portfolio of properties in key gold provinces in Western
Australia. The properties have been selected for their potential to deliver exploration
success.
Immediately following the proposed ASX listing, the Company will undertake exploration
programs at its Mount Clifford, Tanami and Gordon Sirdar tenements. The proposed
exploration programs will be designed to assess the potential for the presence of
potentially economic mineral deposits on each of the tenements. Initial results will
determine the scope, location and timing of further exploration across the portfolio.
The primary purpose of the Offer is to provide funds to undertake a systematic exploration
program on the Company’s Projects, aimed at the discovery of economic mineral
deposits. This Prospectus is seeking to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 by the issue of
25,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share, with the ability to offer up to a further
10,000,000 Shares, for a maximum raising of up to $7,000,000.
The Company has assembled an experienced management and exploration team which
is well qualified to exploit the potential of the Company’s mineral assets. The Board has
significant expertise and experience in mineral exploration, project development and
corporate finance, and aims to ensure that funds raised through the Offer will be utilised
in a cost-effective manner to advance the Company’s Projects.
I look forward to you joining us as a Shareholder and sharing in what we believe are
exciting and prospective times ahead for the Company.
Yours faithfully
COLIN MCCAVANA

What are the The business, assets and operations of the Section 5
key risks of an Company, following admission to the official list of
investment in the ASX, have the potential to influence the
the operating and financial performance of the
Company? Company in the future. These risks can impact on
the value of an investment in the Shares of the
Company.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully
planning its activities and implementing risk
control measures. Some of the risks are, however,
highly unpredictable and the extent to which the
Board can effectively manage them is limited.
Based on the information available, a summary of
the core key risk factors affecting the Company
are as follows:
(a) Exploration and development of Projects
Mineral exploration and development is a
speculative and high risk undertaking. As
the Company is an early-stage exploration
company, there can be no assurance that
exploration on the Projects will result in the
discovery of an economic mineral
resource.
9
(b) Completion of Acquisitions
The Company has entered into four
agreements to acquire tenements that
have not yet completed. Until completion
has occurred there is a risk that completion
and the registration of the tenements in the
name of the Company may not occur.
(c) Conditions to tenements
Interests in tenements in Western Australia
are governed by legislation and are
evidenced by the granting of leases and
licenses by the State. After the completion
of the Acquisitions, and after the grant of
the Company’s tenement applications,
the Company will have an obligation to
meet the conditions that apply to the
Tenements.
(d) Rehabilitation of Tenements
In relation to the Company’s proposed
operations, issues could arise from time to
time with respect to abandonment costs,
consequential clean-up costs,
environmental concerns and other
liabilities. In addition, certain Tenements
being acquired by the Company have
pre-existing environmental and
rehabilitation costs associated with
previous workings on those Tenements that
the Company will become responsible for.
(e) Native title and Aboriginal heritage
In relation to the Tenements which the
Company has an interest in, there may be
areas over which legitimate common law
native title rights of Aboriginal Australians
exist, which may impact on the Company’s
ability to access or develop those areas.
(f) Transfer of Tenements
Mining Lease M37/135 is subject to a
mortgage held by the holder of a royalty
from mining on that Tenement, CopperCo
Limited (subject to external administration).
The ability to get the consent of the
mortgage holder may restrictor delay the
ability of the Company to be registered as
the holder of this Tenement.
(g) Operational risks
The operations of the Company may be
affected by various factors including the
failure to location mineral deposits, failure
to achieve the predicted grades,
operational and technical difficulties,
insufficient or unreliable infrastructure,
mechanical failure and breakdown and
adverse weather conditions.
10
Further
Item Summary
information
(h) Grant of future authorisations to explore
and mine
If the Company discovers an economically
viable mineral deposit that it then intends
to develop, it will, among other things,
require various approvals, licences and
permits before it will be able to mine the
deposit.
(i) Reliance on key management
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-
day operations of the Company depends
substantially on its senior management and
personnel. There can be no assurance
given that there will be no detrimental
impact on the Company if one or more of
these employees cease their employment.
(j) Resource and Reserve estimates
There are no current Resource or Reserve
estimates identified by the Company on
the Projects. There is no assurance that any
Resource or Reserve estimates will ever be
successfully identified on any of the
Projects.
Additional information on these key risks and
further risks are disclosed at Section 5 of this
Prospectus.

3. DETAILS OF THE OFFER
Pursuant to this Prospectus, the Company invites applications for 25,000,000 Shares
at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $5,000,000 (Minimum Subscription).
The Offers under this Prospectus consist of the Offer, which is made up of the
Priority Offer and the General Offer
All of the Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing
Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to Section 11.2 of this
Prospectus for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to
the Shares.
(a) either:
(b) any Shares offered pursuant to the Priority Offer that are not subscribed
for by Eligible Minotaur Shareholders by the Priority Offer Closing Date.
Therefore, if the Priority Offer is fully subscribed, either 15,000,000 Shares (assuming
Minimum Subscription) or 25,00,000 Shares (assuming Maximum Subscription) will
be offered pursuant to the General Offer. However, if no Shares are subscribed for
under the Priority Offer at the Priority Offer Closing Date then 25,000,000 Share
(assuming Minimum Subscription) or 35,000,000 Shares (assuming Maximum
Subscription) will be available for subscription pursuant to the General Offer.
Of the Shares being offered under the Prospectus, 10,000,000 will be offered in
priority to shareholders of Minotaur Exploration Ltd (Minotaur Shareholders)
received before the Priority Offer Closing Date. Allocation of the Shares under the
Priority Offer to the Minotaur Shareholders will be subject to the allocation policy
set out in Section 3.10. Eligible Minotaur Shareholders are encouraged to submit
their Application Forms as soon as possible after the Opening Date.
The Priority Offer closes seven (7) days prior to the General Offer closes. This is to
allow the Company to accept Applications under the General Offer for Shares
not applied for (or applications not accepted by the Company) under the Priority
Offer.
15
To the extent that subscriptions from Minotaur Shareholders exceed 10,000,000
Shares, the excess Applications will be considered as applications under the
General Offer.
Prior to the Company listing on ASX, the Company will need to complete the
acquisition of certain Tenements under two agreements:
• Mt Clifford Agreement,
The Offer is condition upon, and no Shares will be issued until the Company is in a
position to complete the acquisition under these two agreements
contemporaneously with the issue of Shares under the Offer. Those two
agreements are summarised in the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements in Sections 2.1
and 2.2 of Part III of that report included in Section 8 of this Prospectus.
The minimum amount which must be raised under this Prospectus is $5,000,000
(Minimum Subscription). If the Minimum Subscription has not been raised within
four (4) months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not issue any
Securities and will repay all application monies for the Securities within the time
prescribed under the Corporations Act 2001(Cth), without interest.
The Company intends to apply funds raised from the Offers, together with existing
cash reserves, over the first two (2) years following admission of the Company to
the official list of ASX as follows:

Notes:
1. This amount is the amount of cash held by the Company as at the date of this Prospectus
and is therefore different to the $675,273 amount shown as at 30 June 2018. Refer to the
Financial Information set out in Section 7 of this Prospectus for further details.
2. Details of the Company’s Projects are set out in Section 4 below as well as in the
Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 6. Planned expenditure on each of the
individual Projects and the rationale for the initial planned expenditure is set out in the
Independent Geologist’s Report as well as in Section 4.
3. Refer to Section 11.8 of this Prospectus for further details relating to the individual costs
associated with the Offer. In addition to these cash costs outlined above, a further amount
of costs associated with the Offer will be paid to the Lead Manager through the issue of
Shares with a total value of $50,000 based on the Offer price. Refer to Section 10.4 for
details of the terms of the Lead Manager’s mandate.
In the event the Company accepts oversubscriptions and raises more than the
Minimum Subscription of $5,000,000 but less than the Maximum Subscription of
$7,000,000, the additional funds raised will be firstly applied towards any increased
costs of the Offer, then proportionately applied towards exploration and
evaluation of the Mount Clifford Project and the Tanami West Project.
The Directors consider that following completion of the Offer, the Company will
have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives. It should however
be noted that an investment in the Company is speculative and investors are
encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 5.

number of Shares than the number for which the Applicant applies or to reject an
Application Form. If the number of Shares allotted is fewer than the number
applied for, surplus application money will be refunded without interest as soon as
practicable.
No Applicant under the Offer has any assurance of being allocated all or any

following factors:
(c) the desire for a spread of investors, including institutional investors; and

the ASIC, the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all application
monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act,
without interest.

any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered

19
3.12 Escrow

Performance Rights on issue prior to the Offer will be classified by ASX as restricted
securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the
date of Official Quotation. The Board does not expect that any Shares issued
under the Offer will be subject to escrow under the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the
Shares and Performance Rights required to be held in escrow prior to the Shares
commencing trading on ASX.
Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus,
all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a
separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company,
however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account
and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
The Directors will determine the recipients of the issued Shares in their sole
discretion. The Directors reserve the right to reject any application or to allocate
any applicant fewer Shares than the number applied for. Where the number of
Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus
application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon
as practicable after the Closing Date.

3.15 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or
wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate
through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

agreements are summarised in Part III of the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements set
out in Section 8 of this Prospectus.
The area covered by the Company’s six (6) prospecting licences has been held
primarily by individuals for several decades, resulting in relatively limited modern
exploration having been undertaken. Some grassroots gold exploration was
undertaken in the area during and since the 1980’s, primarily by BHP, Dominion,
Dalrymple Resources, Miralga Mining and Lionore. However, most of the
exploration was shallow with limited drilling below 60m.
24
Image of the Jungle Well open pit
As is set out in the Independent Geologist’s Report, historical mining of the Jungle
Well gold deposit (within the Mount Clifford Project) was undertaken by
Consolidated Gold Mines (CGM) in 1996, producing 240,000t @ 2.6g/t Au which
was treated at their nearby Bannockburn plant. Approximately 20,000oz of gold
was recovered from the Jungle Well deposit during this period. The cessation of
CGM’s mining operations at Jungle Well coincided with a reduction in the gold
price. Small scale underground mining has exploited the gold deposit
intermittently from the 1900’s.
A detailed history of the areas within the Mount Clifford Project is detailed in the
Independent Geologist’s Report (Section 6). The Company’s plan is to make the
Mount Clifford Project the focus for initial expenditure given its prospectivity and
size. The strategy is to undertake a systematic, staged approach to exploration
focussing primarily on gold. At this stage, the Company does not intend to
undertake any exploration for nickel or any copper-lead-zinc deposits.
The Tanami West Project is located in the Kimberley region of WA, approximately
1,500km northeast of Perth and 220km south-southeast of Halls Creek in the Tanami
desert, adjacent the Northern Territory border.
The Company has entered into a farmin and join venture agreement with Orion
Metals Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rich Resources Investments Pty
Ltd, to earn up to a 90% interest in the following tenements in the Tanami West
Project: E80/4029, E80/4197, E80/4558, E80/4869, E80/4919, E80/4920 and E80/4921
(Farmin Tenements). These tenements are shown in Figure 3 below.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has completed the obligations to
earn its initial 35% interest in these Farmin Tenements. A summary of the terms of
the farmin and joint venture agreement is set out in Part III of the Solicitor’s Report
on Tenements included in this Prospectus included at Section 8 of this Prospectus.
25
In addition to these tenements, the Company has also applied in its own name
for a further six (6) tenements that will add to its tenure in the Tanami West Project.
The Coyote Gold Mine, located immediately south of the project area and
identified in Figure 3 above was discovered in 1999 by AngloGold through broad-
spaced geochemical rotary air blast (RAB) drilling. Tanami Gold NL commenced
open pit mining and milling operations in May 2006, subsequently moving to
underground operations. Mining continued until 2013 when operations ceased
and the processing plant was placed on care and maintenance. During this
period Tanami Gold also sourced ore for their Coyote mill from three (3) open pit
mining operations at the Bald Hill project area exploiting the Kookaburra,
Sandpiper and Osprey gold deposits. These three (3) gold deposits were recent
discoveries and are located immediately north of the Company’s E80/5249
tenement.
Work undertaken by the holders in 2012 involved surface geochemical rock chip
sampling at the Killi Killi East (KKE) Prospect and a reverse circulation (RC) drilling
programme at both KKE and Killi Killi West (KKW) Gold mineralisation was
intersected in three (3) holes, with a best intercept of 8m @ 4.2g/t Au from 68m in
KKO-116. Detailed information on these drilling results are included in the
annexures in the Independent Geologist’s Report (Section 6).
The Tanami tenements hold significant potential for the discovery of orogenic gold
mineralisation with numerous occurrences and deposits of this style occurring in
the surrounding district, several of which have been commercially mined in the
last 10 years.
26
Exploration activities are expected to focus on gold exploration only at this stage.
The Gordon Sirdar Project is centred 15km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia
(Figure 4). Access to the project area is via the Goldfields Highway with access to
specific tenement access available through flat terrain and open vegetation
using mining, station and exploration tracks. The Project consists of two (2) granted
exploration licences that the Company has acquired from entities associated with
Director, Colin McCavana and former Director, George Bauk, 1 exploration
licence application and five (5) prospecting licence applications applied for by
the Company, for a total area of 90km2.
Since the discovery of gold in Kalgoorlie in 1893, the surrounding area has been
subject to intense prospecting and gold mining. The Gordon Sirdar Project
tenements have likely been prospected by traditional methods over many years.
However, it appears that little effective exploration has occurred over much of
the area of the Gordon Sirdar Project (Figure 4).
The eastern tenements cover greenstone rocks that thrust up against the Scotia
Granitoid while the western licenses cover part of the Scotia Granitoid. Whilst
granite orogenic gold deposits are not typical of the Eastern Gold Fields, the
historic Woodcutters gold deposit (situated about 35km north of Gordon Sirdar),
sits on the same regional anticlinal structure that runs through the Company’s
tenure. Woodcutters is reported to have produced 1.4M ounces of gold and is
regarded as the largest Archean granite hosted gold system in Western Australia.
Although the Gordon Sirdar Project is expected initially to be the smaller of the
Company’s three (3) major Projects, the Company still expects to undertake a
systematic exploration programme on the Gordon Sirdar Project and believe that,
given its location, it remains a highly prospective project.
27
Figure 4: Gordon Sirdar Project tenements
The Company has as its primary focus gold exploration of tenements in the
Leonora (Mount Clifford Project, Tanami (Tanami West Project) and Kalgoorlie
(Gordon Sirdar Project) regions of Western Australia. The Company intends to use
latest drilling techniques along with historic results of previous exploration to
undertake a thorough and cost-effective exploration program.
Post completion of the Offer and prior to listing on ASX, the Company will
complete the acquisition of the tenements that it has not already completed.
The Board’s strategy will be to take measured and actionable steps towards
advancing the exploration program and to identify selective, low cost, low risk
mining development and production opportunities. In addition, the Company will
continue to explore opportunities to grow its Projects by acquisition, application
or joint venturing into areas surrounding and adjacent to the Projects.
The proposed work program and exploration budget for each of the Projects set
out below are aligned with the Independent Geologist Report in Section 6 and
28
brings the initial focus on successfully listing and raising of capital pursuant to the
Offer.
The exploration program will be results driven and subject to review based on
actual results, interpretations, development of further exploration targets and
database modelling. The Company will run multiple scenarios based on this
information with flexibility to make changes to the work programmes and budgets
requirements will be necessary as results are received.
The proposed budgets summarised below for all Projects are considered
reasonable for the first two (2) years after listing and are aligned with the
Independent Geologist Report contained in Section 6 (refer to Section 6 of that
Report). The planned exploration is consistent with the Company’s stated
objectives and is necessary to validate historical exploration results, support actual
production results and demonstrates potential for further discovery and extension
of gold mineralisation. The Independent Geologist has expressed its opinion that
the planned expenditure is consistent with the mineral potential and status of the
Projects.

5. RISK FACTORS
5.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An
investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend
potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with
information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to
apply for Securities and to consult their professional advisers before deciding
whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the business. In addition, there are
other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company
and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have
a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market
price of the Securities.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the
Company is exposed.
37
(b) Objections to the grant of Tenements
One of the Company’s current exploration licence applications (E27/614)
is the subject to an objection. In addition to this one known objection,
there is a risk that objections may be lodged in the future. Any such
objections will need to be resolved before the applications may be
granted. If the Company proceeds to defend the objections, it is likely to
incur costs (including, in particular, legal costs) in doing so. These costs
may be mitigated if the Company is able to agree to a resolution with the
objectors.
If the Company is not able to resolve the dispute the subject of the
objections there is a risk that the objections will be upheld and that the
Tenements may not be granted.
38
(f) Agents and Contractors
(g) Litigation
In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s
operational and financial performance may be adversely affected.
39
The Tenements held by the Company are subject to annual review and
periodic renewal. While it is the Company’s intention to satisfy the
conditions that apply to the Tenements, there can be no guarantees
made that, in the future, the Tenements that are subject to renewal will
be renewed or that minimum expenditure and other conditions that
apply to the Tenements will be satisfied. Renewal conditions may include
increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory
relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Projects. There is
also a risk that the Tenement Applications will not be granted to the
Company. These events could have a materially adverse effect on the
Company’s prospects and the value of its assets.
The land subject to the Tenements overlaps with Crown land, including
pastoral leases. Upon commencing mining operations on any of the
Tenements, the Company may need to consider entering into a
compensation and access agreement with the lease holders to ensure
the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes
arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court determines
compensation payable. The entry into these agreements may delay the
undertaking of activities, including the development of any future mines,
and may mean that the Company cannot explore all areas that it may
prefer to explore for mineral development.
40
Even if a study confirms the economic viability of the Projects, there can
be no guarantee that the project will be successfully brought into
production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the
feasibility study (e.g. operational costs and commodity prices) once
production commences. Further, the ability of the Company to complete
a study may be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise further
funds.
The funds raised under the Offer are considered sufficient to meet the
immediate objectives of the Company. Further funding may be required
by the Company in the event costs exceed estimates or revenues do not
meet estimates, to support its ongoing operations and implement its
strategies. For example, funding may be needed to undertake further
exploration activities, or acquire complementary assets.
In the likely event that ASX imposes mandatory escrow on the Company’s
securities, a high proportion of Shares will be subject to escrow following
completion of the Offer. This would reduce liquidity in the market for the
Company’s Shares and may affect the ability of a Shareholder to sell
some or all of its Shares due to the effect less liquidity may have on
demand. An illiquid market for the Company’s Shares is likely to have an
adverse impact on the Share price.
41
(q) No Profit to Date
The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims
involving tenements in which the Company has or may have an interest.
42
adverse impact on the environment or cause exposure to hazardous
materials. Despite efforts to conduct its activities in an environmentally
responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, the
Company may be subject to claims for toxic torts, natural resources
damages and other damages. In addition, the Company may be subject
to the investigation and clean-up of contaminated soil, surface water
and groundwater. This may delay the timetable of the Projects and may
subject the Company to substantial penalties including fines, damages,
clean-up costs or other penalties. The Company is also subject to
environmental protection legislation, which may affect the Company’s
access to certain areas of its properties and could result in unforeseen
expenses and areas of moratorium.
43
(e) Environmental Risks
(i) Safety
(a) Economic
44
development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund
those activities.
There is currently no public market for the Company’s Securities, the price
of its Securities is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance
that an active market for the Company’s Securities will develop or
continue after the Offer.
The price at which the Company’s Securities trade on ASX after listing
may be higher or lower than the Offer Price and could be subject to
fluctuations in response to variations in operating performance and
general operations and business risk, as well as external operating factors
over which the Directors and the Company have no control, such as
movements in mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to
government policy, legislation or regulation and other events or factors.
45
(f) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted
securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share
market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject
to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in
general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the
Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the
Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any
securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and Securities
of exploration companies experience extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of such companies. These factors may materially affect the
market price of the Shares regardless of the Company’s performance.
(g) Taxation
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and
each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with
respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under
this Prospectus.
46
possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate
compensation.
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced
by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others
not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial
performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this
Prospectus.

Mt Clifford Project
Situated 60km north-northwest of Leonora, the Mt Clifford project covers 66km2 of Archean
greenstone in a prospective setting for orogenic-style gold mineralisation and with significant
past and present gold producing deposits in the district. The project is positioned on the
boundary between the Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi Terranes both of which host numerous
significant gold deposits. The Jungle Well and Mt Clifford deposits are the most advanced
exploration plays in the project tenements. They sit within the Keith-Kilkenny lineament
within a line of gold deposits along this structural zone from Sons of Gwalia in the south to
Thunderbox in the north and including Tower Hill, Harbour Lights, King of the Hills
(Tarmoola), Viking and numerous gold occurrences. Exploration at the Jungle Well and Mt
Clifford prospects is sufficiently advanced to design RC drilling programs in the near term
pending completion of data validation and structural analysis. The associated north-
northwest trending Clifford and Minnieritchi Faults are an attractive opportunity for target
generation work, with 10km of their strike being covered by the project tenements.
The project covers much of the Mt Clifford Ultramafic Complex which contains regionally
correlated stratigraphic packages of komatiite and has been heavily targeted by nickel
explorers in the past who have secured large tenement holdings for long periods and
undertaken extensive and intensive nickel focused exploration programs. Competition for
tenure with nickel and base metal explorers has resulted in reduced access to the ground for
specialist gold explorers and a relative under exploration in terms of gold work. Application
of gold focused analysis to the extensive regional datasets is anticipated to yield PVW
Resources with further gold targets for follow-up.
The Mt Clifford prospect, located at the southern end of the tenement package has seen small
scale underground mining intermittently from the 1900’s to the present, exploiting gold
mineralisation in the sheared contact between a felsic unit and an ultramafic sequence.
Underground operations are currently active and were inspected by Indeport.
Planned Expenditure
PVW Resources has provided to Indeport their proposed exploration expenditure for the two
year period following the capital raising. For a raising of the minimum subscription of $5M a
budget of A$4,101,449 is allocated to exploration expenditure as detailed in Table 5 of
Section 4. For a raising of the minimum subscription of $7M a budget of A$5,651,449 is
allocated to exploration expenditure as detailed in Table 6 of Section 4. PVW Resources is
intending to focus their expenditure on the Mt Clifford and Jungle Well prospects with

Figure 2 Mt Clifford Project Tenement Location Map
Note: E37/1254 comprises the Brilliant Well project and is discussed in Section 4 of this report
(after Ravensgate, 2016, modified from (A) Gee et al., 1981 and (B) Pawley et al., 2012)
Cassidy et al., (2006) divided the Yilgarn Craton into terranes defined on the basis of distinct
sedimentary and magmatic associations, geochemistry and ages of volcanism. The Narryer
(formerly the Northwest Gneiss) and South West terranes in the west are dominated by
granite and granitic gneiss with minor supracrustal greenstone inliers, whereas the Youanmi
Terrane and the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane contain substantial greenstone belts
separated by granite and granitic gneiss (Wyche et al., 2012). Subsequent revision has further
subdivided the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane into four terranes from west to east the
Kalgoorlie, Kurnalpi, Burtville and Yamarna terranes (Figure 3-B; Pawley et al., 2012).
The Ida Fault (Figure 3-B), which marks the boundary between the western Yilgarn Craton
and the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane, is a major structure that extends to the base of the
crust (Drummond et al., 2000). Greenstone stratigraphies in the western Yilgarn differ from
those in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane in such things as the relative abundance of
lithologies (especially komatiite and banded iron-formation) suggesting a substantially
different depositional regime. According to Wyche (2007), the greenstones in much of the
western Yilgarn are typically older than those in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. The
major mafic dominated successions in the western Yilgarn, date back to 3.0 Ga (e.g. Pidgeon
and Wilde, 1990; Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), 2007), whereas the mafic
and felsic successions of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane were largely deposited after 2.8
Ga (e.g. Barley et al., 2003; GSWA, 2007).
Panoramic looking southwest towards the Mt Clifford Prospect from Mount Clifford peak
The prospect is hosted by the Mt Clifford Komatiite, a thick pile of spinifex-textured
ultramafic lavas, close to the contact with the Hangover Formation (Figure 8). Coarse grained
ultramafic rocks in the area are generally peridotites though some dunites are present.
Altered ultramafic rocks are talc-carbonate-chlorite-serpentinite rocks and are found
throughout the tenement. Felsic dykes and quartz-carbonate veins are also common.
Considerable displacement of lithologies at the prospect is associated with the Clifford Fault
which passes through the tenements. It is marked by a zone of strong shearing and truncation
of the easterly trending structures on the western side of the fault.
An extensive set of workings, dating back to 1895-1910 period, exploited gold mineralisation
in the sheared contact between a felsic unit and the ultramafic sequence, veined with quartz
and iron-carbonate. The ultramafic rocks have moderate to intense quartz-iron-carbonate
stockwork and sulphidic stockwork. The mineralised structures are generally oriented 40° to
50° towards the northeast or east. The outcrops on Battery Hill and Mount Clifford have
spines of white buck quartz up to a metre in width (Figure 11). Mount Clifford quartz blow
orientation is 65°E/155°, whilst Battery Hill is orientated 66°E/124°. Both hills have
subsidiary shears, extending from their eastern flanks oriented at 75°NE/115° both in
parallel and en echelon arrangement.
The Mt Clifford prospect is held under M37/182 which was pegged by the Williams syndicate
as P37/1223 in 1984 and converted to a mining lease in 1988. The area saw intense
exploration in this period through a series of JV’s with mining companies.
Tunax Resources explored P37/1223 in 1985 (WAMEX a15977) described the sequence as
serpentinite, trachyte, talc-carbonate ultramafic, dolomite. Tunax drilled 16 open hole
percussion holes for 357m testing the zone of historical mining and prospecting, intersecting
narrow (2-4m) mineralised zones with 3 holes intersecting historical workings/stopes.
Collar statistics for all historical RC drill holes are provided in Appendix 1, along with a listing
of all significant intersections in the gold assay results. Commentary on the JORC Table 1
criteria for Mt Clifford historical exploration data are provided in Appendix 2.
Structure, mineralisation style and geological setting is similar to the Mt Clifford prospect.
The Jungle Well orebody is hosted in a massive to weakly foliated metabasalt along a north-
northwest striking east dipping thrust fault zone shallowly dipping to the east. There are two
main mineralised structures: the principal fault which dips at about 60°, and a shallower
splay fault which dips at 30° that is truncated by the steeper fault. The main orebody mined
was from the 30° thrust, with some ore from the 60° fault and several other minor splay
structures with poddy mineralisation. The intersection of the two structures occurs in the
southern end of the pit, plunging north at 10° to 20°.
The mineralised zone is 3 to 10m thick and associated with minor quartz veining and pyrite.
In the weathered zone, the mineralisation is significantly bleached with leaching of gold
noted in the upper saprolite (which has significance for interpreting shallow exploration
drilling in this district). The oxide zones vary from 45 to 60m in thickness and the transition
zone of 10 to 20m thickness. The ore zones are clay-rich with ferruginous alteration and
contain up to 50% silica. Fresh ore is sheared, altered metabasalt with pyritic quartz veining.
Higher grade zones are generally 1-3m in thickness and display a pod-like nature (WAMEX
a87928).
Exploration drilling from the discovery phase of the early 1980’s by Triton Resources is
poorly recorded in surviving documentation. Comprehensive handwritten logs exist in open
file reports for the additional RC definition drilling undertaken by Australian Goldfields
during mid-1990’s. Production records for the Jungle Well open pit are not available. The
project database does contain some grade control drill hole data.
Only limited exploration has been undertaken since mining operations stopped in 1996.
The outline of the historical pit is shown in yellow. Locations of sections are shown as A-A’,B-B’,C-C’. Refer to
Appendix 1 for coordinates of all Jungle Well drill hole collars.
The following three sections illustrate the exploration potential of the Jungle Well prospect
which comprises several opportunities.
Figure 18 Cross Section A-A’ Jungle Well showing significant intersections
Note: Only intersections which are still in situ are shown (i.e. have not been mined).
Mineralisation on the flat thrust north of the pit has not been drill tested. Gold mineralisation
is open to the south and sparsely tested with drilling. Strong potential exists for
mineralisation below pit with numerous significant intercepts in the deeper drill holes as
illustrated in Figure 18 a northern cross section, Figure 19 a southern cross section and
3.2 Tenure
The Tanami West project consists of 7 granted exploration licences and 6 exploration licence
applications, comprising 269 blocks and covering approximately 869km2. The license details
are listed in Table 2 and shown in Figure 22.
Table 2 Tenement Schedule – Tanami West Project
Notes: Specific details regarding the tenements and any material agreements pertaining to them are available in a
dedicated section within the Prospectus.
PVW Resources have entered into a Joint Venture with Orion Metals Ltd (100% owner of Rich
Resources Investment Pty Ltd) to explore 7 exploration licences detailed in Table 2. PVW
Resources have entered into negotiations with the Native Title groups pertinent to the
project area to gain access to undertake exploration activities. No exploration can take place
until agreements are finalised.
These formations are conformably overlain by the Killi Killi Formation a 5km thick turbiditic
succession having a predominantly granitic provenance with some subsidiary mafic volcanic
input. Subsequently, sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Ware Group (1825–1800Ma)
were deposited in the eastern part of the Orogen (Joly et al, 2012).
The supracrustal rocks are intruded by a suite of granitoid rocks. Research studies suggest
that these granites are derived from partial melting of an Archean basement, and emplaced at
1795±3Ma. Therefore, they are broadly synchronous with gold mineralisation and the peak
of metamorphism. The granites are interpreted to have been generated during the postulated
continent-continent collision of the Granites-Tanami Orogen with the Arunta Orogen. Two
clearly mappable deformation events D1 and D2 have been defined in the western portion of
the Orogen (Bagas et al., 2009, 2010).
All of the above rocks are unconformably overlain by the 1.3km thick late Paleoproterozoic
Pargee Sandstone, which, in turn, is unconformably overlain by Meso- to Neoproterozoic
sandstone, siltstone, shale, and carbonate of the 6km thick Birrindudu Group. The Redcliff
Pound Group, which was subsequently deposited at around 1,000Ma.
Figure 23 and Figure 24 provide examples of the numerous high quality regional data sets
available for the Tanami region from the government surveys; a images of regional gravity
data and aeromagnetic data respectively A structural interpretation is draped over the total
magnetic intensity (TMI) aeromagnetics. Conjunctive 4D modelling of this available
geological, geochronological, and geophysical data by Joly et al. (2010) led to the
development of a new structural map of the Orogen, and the structural elements depicted in
Figure 25 follow this interpretation. This 4D modelling suggests that the Orogen forms an
imbricated crust developed on a partially inverted south-dipping, rifted Archean basement.
The bedrock geology of the Project area is dominated by a sequence of Lower Proterozoic
folded metasediments, the Killi Killi Formation. The Killi Killi Formation overlies the Stubbins
Formation, a sequence of metasediments and minor volcanics which in turn overlies
Archaean basement. The Killi Killi Formation is a monotonous sequence of turbidites,
predominantly sandstones, greywackes and shales, which, while quite deformed, are usually
only metamorphosed to greenschist grade. The sediments of the Killi Killi Formation are
intruded by numerous dolerite dykes and sills ranging from 10 to 100m thick. Because of
weathering and their composition, the rocks seldom outcrop and usually only do so as
lateritised low ridges with quartz veining. Overlying the Killi Killi Formation lithologies are
gently dipping basal units of the Gardiner Sandstone, itself a basal member of the Birrindudu
Group which extends north and northeast into the NT. At both Killi Killi prospects (Figure
25), prominent outcrops of pink silicified conglomerate define the mineralised unit which
displays low order radioactivity from secondary uranium minerals that appear to be weak
surface enrichments associated with xenotime-florencite mineralisation (Tuffin, 2014).
The structural grain of the district is west-northwest reflecting the major element of faulting,
the Tanami Structural Corridor, which extends from the west into the Tanami and
Granites/Callie goldfields of NT. Near the Coyote mine it is manifested in the large quartz reef
referred to as the Tanami Fault reflecting a regional fracture.
A number of granites intrude the Lower Proterozoic sediments, predominantly comprise ‘I-
type’ biotite±hornblende monzogranite and granodiorite. Figure 25 shows the location of the
various granitic intrusions in relation to the tenements. A number of granite intrusions
occupy diapiric structures within the Killi Killi Formation. The large granite pluton lies
immediately to the south of the Killi Killi prospects which was drilled by Orion and found to
be a variably magnetic K-feldspar – biotite granite with subdued geochemical character.
4.2 Tenure
The project consists of 3 granted exploration licences and 5 prospecting licence applications
with a total area of approximately 90km2. The licence details are listed in Table 3 and their
location is shown in Figure 28.

Table 3 Tenement Schedule - Gordon Sirdar Project
Notes: Specific details regarding the tenements and any material agreements pertaining to them are available in a
dedicated section within the Prospectus.
The eastern tenements (E27/570 & 571) cover greenstone lithologies of the Boorara Domain
dominated by ultramafic, mafic and felsic volcanic rocks that are thrusted against the massive
granite body known as the Scotia Kanowna Batholith. The larger tenement (E27/614) and
the 5 prospecting licences cover the southern portion of the Scotia Granitoid.
The Scotia-Kanowna batholith is interpreted to be located within the core of a major north-
northwest striking Scotia-Kanowna anticline. Regional stratigraphy consists of lower tholeiite
overlain by an ultramafic komatiitic flow sequence, which is succeeded by felsic volcanic-
epiclastic rocks.
The regionally recognised deformation history comprises alternating periods of compression
and generally more localised extension. Early extension was followed by the first
compressional phase of deformation, D1, which produced recumbent folding and regional-
scale thrusting. Localised extension occurred next followed by a major phase of east-
northeast to west- southwest compression, D2 that resulted in large-scale, upright F2 folds
and production of a sub-vertical cleavage, S2. Subsequent localised extension was succeeded
by D3 east (northeast) to west (southwest) regional shortening that caused transcurrent
faulting and associated en echelon folding. Local east-west extension, potentially related to
post-metamorphic orogenic collapse, was followed by the final major deformation, D4, which
produced oblique dextral/reverse faults. Granitic rocks were emplaced throughout this
deformation history and peak regional metamorphism has been interpreted as occurring
during D3 (Swager, 1997).
An outcrop geology map of the Gordon Sirdar area (Figure 5) shows that much of the project
area is blanketed by Cenozoic sand, palaeochannel and lake deposits which mask the Archean
basement. An alluvial channel crosses the centre of the project, draining into the King of the
West Lake. The cover is generally shallow (0.5 – 10m) although the Roe palaeo-drainage
system is infilled with up to 70m of Eocene aged sediments. Archaean outcrop is limited to
subcrop exposure of mafic metavolcanics with granitoid intrusives in the southeast corner.
Better outcrop occurs under the 2 eastern tenements of the project located in the Mulgarrie
Mining Centre. Mapped units (GSWA, 2015) include the Golden Cities Granodiorite, Nine Mile
Monzogranite, Scotia Basalt, Highway Formation and Black Flag Group. Four main Archaean
lithological types outcrop: granites, tholeiitic basalts, talc-carbonate and chlorite-carbonate
altered ultramafics rocks with rare interflow sediments. Regional stratigraphy dips 35-40°
towards 050° and is cross cut by regional fabric dipping at 35-40° towards 035°. Two phases
of porphyry intrusions have been recognised; pre- to syn-deformation intrusions which
parallel regional foliation and north-easterly striking, cross-cutting porphyries. Proterozoic
intrusive dykes intrude the Archaean sequence. Gold mineralisation is predominantly
associated with quartz-carbonate stockwork veining within highly carbonated, ultramafic
5.2 Tenure
The project consists of one granted exploration licence with an area of 59.6km2. The licence
details are listed in Table 4 and their location is shown in Figure 2 in Section 2.1. PVW
Resources has secured an agreement with the registered owners to purchase this tenement.
Table 4 Tenement Schedule
Much of the northern and south eastern parts of the tenement area are underlain by granitoid
intrusive rocks. Previous drilling, particularly in the northwest near Christmas Well,
identified gold anomalies possibly associated with northwest-southeast structures, indicating
that the granite terrain is prospective for gold. In the west and particularly the southwest,
both granitoid and greenstone rocks are present, (although these are incorrectly shown as
granite on the GSWA interpretation in Figure 32). Greenstone rocks, including basalt,
porphyritic basalt, dolerite, gabbro, felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks and sedimentary
rocks and chert have been intersected in drill holes by previous explores. These rocks are
sheared in some drill holes, indicating the position of the Deep Well Shear Zone. In the
vicinity of Madman Well, aeromagnetic data suggest the presence of ultramafic rocks
adjacent to the shear zone.
Alteration zones intersected in previous shallow drilling within the Deep Well Shear Zone are
characterised by sericite, quartz veining and minor oxidised sulphide. The shear zone and
several sub-parallel structures to the east in the central portion of the project area are
prospective targets which have attracted minimal exploration to date. Aeromagnetic data has
indicates several other prominent structures at various orientations, which intersect the
Deep Well Shear Zone and may be prospective for gold (Figure 6).
Indeport considers that the proposed exploration budget is consistent with the mineral
potential and status of the projects. The proposed expenditure is sufficient to meet the costs
of the exploration programs proposed and to meet statutory tenement expenditure
requirements.

The Directors
PVW Resources NL
Level 1, 675 Murray Street
West Perth, WA 6005
Dear Directors
Introduction
We have been engaged by PVW Resources NL (“PVW Resources” or the “Company”) to report on
the historical financial information of PVW Resources for the period ended 30 June 2018 and pro
forma financial information of the Company as at 30 June 2018 for inclusion in the prospectus
(“Prospectus”) of PVW Resources dated on or about 31 October 2018 in connection with PVW
Resources’ proposed initial public offering and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange
(“ASX”), pursuant to which the Company is offering 25,000,000 ordinary PVW Resources shares
at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise $5 million (“minimum subscription”).
Oversubscriptions of up to a further 10,000,000 ordinary PVW Resources shares at an issue price
of $0.20 per Share may be accepted resulting in the maximum total raising of up to $7 million
(“maximum subscription”). Expressions and terms defined in the Prospectus have the same
meaning in this Report.
The future prospects of the Company, other than the preparation of a Pro Forma Historical
Financial Information assuming completion of the transactions summarised in Note 1 of the
Appendix of this Report, are not addressed in this Report. This Report also does not address the
rights attaching to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, nor the risks associated
with an investment in shares in the Company.
Background
PVW Resources was incorporated in Western Australia (“WA”) as an unlisted no liability company
on 1 February 2018. Since incorporation the Company has acquired a number of tenement
packages with a focus on exploring for precious metals, with gold being the key focus. The
Company’s exploration activities are predominately focussed on gold exploration. The Company
holds tenement packages with rights to three different areas of interest in Western Australia,
grouped into the following three distinct projects:
Mount Clifford Project (including the Brilliant Well Project) – This project consists of
two exploration licences and six prospecting licences. It is situated in close proximity to
a number of junior and Tier 1 gold operators. Included in this project is the historical
Jungle Well mine which was closed in 1996 following a major cyclone that flooded the
pit. The Viking mine, which is not part of the PVW tenement, is immediately to the south
of the Mount Clifford tenements. Also included in the Mount Clifford Project Area is the
Brilliant Well Project which comprises one granted exploration licence.
Tanami West Project – This project consists of seven granted exploration licences and
six exploration licence applications. It is situated in the Kimberly region of WA, adjacent
the Northern Territory border. Tanami is known for its high exploration potential and
significant mineralisation. The Company has also entered into a farmin and joint venture
agreement to earn up to a 90% interest in the tenements comprising the Tanami West
Project. The Company has already completed the requirements to earn its initial 35%
interest in those tenements.
Gordon Sirdar Project – This project consists of three granted exploration licences and
five prospecting licence applications. It is situated in close proximity to Kalgoorlie in WA
and is surrounded by many gold deposits and operating gold mills.
You have requested Nexia Perth Corporate Finance Pty Ltd (“NPCF”) to review the following
historical financial information of the Company included in the Prospectus and the Appendix to
this Report:
The consolidated statements of financial performance and cash flows of the Company
and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2018; and
The consolidated statement of financial position of the Company and its controlled entities
as at 30 June 2018.
(together the “Historical Financial Information” attached at the Appendix to this Report).
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of
preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial
Reporting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies.
The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the financial statements of the
Company for the period 1 February 2018 to 30 June 2018, which were audited by Nexia Perth
Audit Services Pty Ltd (“NPAS”) in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. The audit report
issued for the year ended 30 June 2018 was an unqualified opinion.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar
as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by International Financial
Reporting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to
general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
Pro forma historical financial information
You have requested NPCF to review the pro forma historical consolidated statement of financial
position as at 30 June 2018, referred to as “the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial
Information of the Company after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events and pro
forma adjustments described in Note 1 of the Appendix to this Report. The stated basis of
preparation is the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting
Standards applied to the Historical Financial Information and the events or transactions to which
the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Note 1 of the Appendix
to this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical
Financial Information.
Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the
Company’s actual or prospective financial position or statement of financial performance.
Directors’ responsibility
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial
Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and
determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included
in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal
controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial
Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility
A review consists of making such enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our procedures
included:
A consistency check of the application of the stated basis of preparation to the Historical
and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information;
A review of the Company’s and its auditors’ work papers, accounting records and other
documents;
Enquiry of directors, management personnel and advisors;
Consideration of subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in Note 1 of
the Appendix to this Report; and
Performance of analytical procedures applied to the Pro Forma Historical Financial
Information.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we
would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusions
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendix to this Report, and
comprising:
The consolidated statements of financial performance and cash flows of the Company
and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2018; and
The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 of the Company and
its controlled entities,
are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of
preparation, as described in Note 2(a) of the Appendix to this Report.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendix to this
Report, and comprising the consolidated statements of financial position as at 30 June 2018 of
the Company and its controlled entities are not presented fairly in all material respects, in
accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Note 2(a) of the Appendix of this
Report.
Restriction on Use
Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to the purpose of the financial information,
being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable
for use for another purpose.
Responsibility
NPCF has consented to the inclusion of this assurance report in the Prospectus in the form and
context in which it is included. NPCF has not authorised the issue of the Prospectus. Accordingly,
NPCF makes no representation regarding, and takes no responsibility for, any other documents
or material in, or omissions from, the Prospectus.
Disclosure of Interest
NPCF does not have any pecuniary interest that could reasonably be regarded as being capable
of affecting its ability to give an unbiased conclusion in this matter. NPCF will receive a
professional fee for the preparation of this Report.

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been presented in abbreviated form and
does not contain all the disclosures usually provided in an Annual Report prepared in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), adopted
by the International Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The significant accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of
the historical and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information are:
The historical and pro forma information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on
historical costs, modified, where appropriate, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-
current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
The historical and pro forma financial information is presented in Australian dollars, which is the
Company’s functional currency.
Going Concern Basis of Preparation
The historical and pro forma financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis
which contemplates the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course
of business.
The Company has expensed exploration costs as incurred, given that the Company is still
evaluating the economical viability and feasibility of extracting the mineral resource.
(c) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a finite life
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis based on the estimated useful life of the
asset as follows:
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued used of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit and loss in the
period the item is derecognised.
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, unless they relate to qualifying
assets.
(e) Investments
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and
including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
Gains and losses are recognised in income when the investments are derecognised or impaired.
Other receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount and less an allowance for
any uncollectible amounts.
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in
hand.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward
of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of
unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:
except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the
extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable
future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be
utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow
all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply
to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in
profit and loss.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and similar taxes except:
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part
of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component
of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies
are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, and cash. There
was no exposure to interest rate and foreign current risk in the current period.

This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus for the initial public offer of 25,000,000
shares in the capital of PVW Resources NL (ACN 624 170 074) (Company) at an issue
price of $0.20 cents per share to raise up to $5,000,000 and an oversubscription of up to a
further 10,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise up to a further
$2,000,000 (Prospectus).
1. SCOPE
The Tenements are located in Western Australia. Details of the Tenements are
set out in Part I of this Report.
This Report is limited to the Searches (as defined below) set out in Section 2 of
this Report.
2. SEARCHES
For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made
enquiries in respect of all of the Tenements as follows (Searches):
(c) we have obtained searches from the online Aboriginal Heritage Enquiry
System maintained by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage
(DPLH) for any Aboriginal sites registered on the Western Australian
Register of Aboriginal sites over the Tenements (Heritage Searches).
These searches were conducted on 6 September 2018 and 31 October
2018 (in relation to E37/909). Details of any Aboriginal Sites are set out in
Part II of this Report;
2. OPINION
As a result of our Searches, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set
out in this Report, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant
Searches this Report provides an accurate statement as to:
(b) (Good standing): the validity and good standing of the Tenements
except for E37/909 and P37/8517 which are subject to forfeiture as
detailed in Section 9 of this Report; and
The Tenements comprise eleven (11) exploration licences granted, seven (7)
pending exploration licences applied for, five (5) pending prospecting license
applied for, two (2) mining leases granted, and six (6) prospecting licences
granted under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) (Mining Act). The Schedule provides a
list of the Tenements. This section provides a description of the nature and key
terms of these types of mining tenements as set out in the Mining Act and
potential successor tenements.

31 October 2018
Rights: The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter upon land for the
purposes of prospecting for minerals with employees and contractors, and such
vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
Retention status: The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted
after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the
prospecting licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is
an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the prospecting
licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where
retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced
in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the
right to impose a program of works or require the holder to apply for a mining
lease. The holder of a prospecting licence applied for or granted before 10
February 2006 can apply for a retention licence (see below), rather than
retention status.
Priority to apply for a mining lease: The holder of a prospecting licence has
priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the
prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to
the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force
until the application for the mining lease is determined.
Rights: The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the
purposes of exploration for minerals with employees and contractors and such
vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
PVW Resources NL Page 4
31 October 2018
Term: An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The
Minister may extend the term by a further period of 5 years followed by a further
period or periods of 2 years.
Priority to apply for mining lease: The holder of an exploration licence has
priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the
exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to
the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force
until the application for the mining lease is determined.
Application: Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although
a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over
the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an
application for a mining lease.
Rights: The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any
minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease
entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out
mining operations.
PVW Resources NL Page 5
31 October 2018
Term: A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive
periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal
application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
4. ABORIGINAL HERITAGE
Aboriginal sites were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Part II of
this Report).
It is noted that a standard Aboriginal heritage agreement has been entered into
in respect of the Tenements (as noted in Part II following this Report) which sets
out the obligations of the parties holding an interest in the Tenements (whether
title or mineral rights only) in protecting Aboriginal heritage in areas where
exploration takes place in a manner that is transparent, timely, certain and cost
effective.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth)
(Commonwealth Heritage Act) is aimed at the preservation and protection of
any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.
Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may
make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant
Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration
activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a
person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of
preservation.
PVW Resources NL Page 6
31 October 2018
The Minister’s consent is required where any use of land is likely to result in the
excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or
under that site.
Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is
no requirement for a site to be registered. The WA Heritage Act protects all
registered and unregistered sites.
5. NATIVE TITLE
5.1 Introduction
This section of the Report examines the effect of native title on the Tenements.
The existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians was first
recognised in Australia in 1992 by the High Court in the case Mabo v.
Queensland (no.2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 (Mabo no.2).
The High Court in Mabo no. 2 held that certain land tenure existing as at the
date of that case, including mining tenements, where granted or renewed
without due regard to native title rights, were invalid. The High Court concluded
that:
(a) native title has been wholly extinguished in respect of land the subject
of freehold, public works or other previous “exclusive possession” acts;
and
(b) native title has been partially extinguished as a result of the grant of
“non-exclusive possession” pastoral leases and mining leases, and also
as a result of the creation of certain reserves.
As a result of Mabo no. 2, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NTA) was passed to:
(a) provide a process for indigenous people to lodge claims for native title
rights over land, for those claims to be registered by the NNTT and for
the Courts to assess native title claims and determine if native title rights
exist. Where a Court completes the assessment of a native title claim, it
will issue a native title determination that specifies whether or not native
title rights exist;
(b) provide (together with associated State legislation) that any land
tenures granted or renewed before 1 January 1994 were valid despite
Mabo no. 2 (Past Acts). This retrospective validation of land tenure was
subsequently extended by the NTA to include freehold and certain
PVW Resources NL Page 7
31 October 2018
(c) provide that an act that may affect native title rights (such as the grant
or renewal of a mining tenement) carried out after 23 December 1996
(a Future Act) must comply with certain requirements for the Future Act
to be valid under the NTA. These requirements are called the Future Act
Provisions.
The Future Act Provisions vary depending on the Future Act to be carried out. In
the case of the grant of a mining tenement, typically there are four alternatives:
the Right to Negotiate, an ILUA, the Infrastructure Process (defined below) and
the Expedited Procedure. These are summarised below.
Right to Negotiate
The Right to Negotiate involves a formal negotiation between the State, the
applicant for the tenement and any registered native title claimants and holders
of native title rights. The aim is to agree the terms on which the tenement can
be granted. The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any
compensation that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title
claimants and holders of native title. The parties may also agree on conditions
that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement (eg in relation to
heritage surveys). The classes of conditions typically included in a mining
agreement are set out at section 5.3 below.
If the Right to Negotiate procedure is not observed, the grant of the mining
tenement will be invalid to the extent (if any) that it affects native title.
ILUA
An ILUA must set out the terms on which a tenement can be granted. An ILUA
will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the
tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation
that the parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants and holders
of native title in return for the grant of the tenement being approved. These
obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.
PVW Resources NL Page 8
31 October 2018
Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant
group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even
though they may not be parties to it.
Infrastructure Process
The NTA establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a Future Act that is
the creation of a right to mine for the sole purpose of the construction of an
infrastructure facility (Infrastructure Process). The NTA defines infrastructure
facility to include a range of transportation, marine, aeronautical, electrical, oil,
gas, mineral and communication facilities. In Western Australia, DMIRS applies
the Infrastructure Process to two classes of mining tenements:
(a) miscellaneous licences for most purposes under the Mining Regulations
1981 (WA) that but, notably, not for a minesite administration facility or a
minesite accommodation facility (both of which are dealt with under
the Right to Negotiate) or for a search for groundwater (which is dealt
with under the Expedited Procedure); and
If a registered native title claimant or holder objects, the applicant for the
tenement must consult with that claimant or holder about:
(a) ways of minimising the effect of the grant of the tenement on any
registered or determined native title rights;
(c) the way in which anything authorised by the tenement may be done.
If the registered native title claimant or holder does not subsequently withdraw
their objection, the State is required to ensure that the objection is heard by an
independent person (in Western Australia, this is the Chief Magistrate). The
independent person must determine whether or not the registered native title
claimant or holder’s objection should be upheld or other conditions should be
imposed on the tenement.
Expedited Procedure
The NTA establishes a simplified process for the carrying out of a Future Act that is
unlikely to adversely affect native title rights (Expedited Procedure). The grant of
a tenement can occur under the Expedited Procedure if:
(a) the grant will not interfere directly with the carrying on of the community
or social activities of the persons who are the holders of native title in
relation to the land;
PVW Resources NL Page 9
31 October 2018
(b) the grant is not likely to interfere with areas or sites of particular
significance, in accordance with their traditions, to the persons who are
holders of native title in relation to the land; and
(c) the grant is not likely to involve major disturbance to any land or waters
concerned or create rights whose exercise is likely to involve major
disturbance to any land.
If the State considers the above criteria are satisfied, it commences the
Expedited Procedure by giving notice of the proposed grant of the tenement in
accordance with the NTA. Persons have until three (3) months after the
notification date to take steps to become a registered native title claimant or
native title holder in relation to the land to be subject to the tenement.
If one or more registered native title claimants or native title holders object within
that four (4) month notice period, the NNTT must determine whether the grant is
an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines that the
Expedited Procedure applies, the State may grant the tenement. Otherwise, the
Future Act Provisions (eg Right to Negotiate or ILUA) must be followed before the
tenement can be granted.
The State of Western Australia currently follows a policy of granting mining leases,
prospecting licences and exploration licences under the Expedited Procedure
where the applicant has entered into a standard Aboriginal heritage agreement
with the relevant registered native title claimants and native title holders. The
standard Aboriginal heritage agreement provides a framework for the conduct
of Aboriginal heritage surveys over the land the subject of a tenement prior to
the conducting of ground-disturbing work and conditions that apply to activities
carried out within the tenement.
The grant of a tenement does not need to comply with the Future Act Provisions
if in fact native title has never existed over the land covered by the tenement, or
has been validly extinguished prior to the grant of the tenement. We have not
undertaken the extensive research needed to determine if in fact native title
does not exist, or has been validly extinguished in relation to the Tenements.
Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (eg in relation to freehold land),
the usual practice of the State is to comply with the Future Act Provisions when
granting a tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid in the event a court
determines that native title rights do exist over the land subject to the tenement.
(b) any Tenements which have been retrospectively validated under the
NTA as being granted before 23 December 1996 (see Section 5.5);
(c) any Tenements which have been granted after 23 December 1996 and
as such will need to have been granted following compliance with the
Future Act Provisions to be valid under the NTA. This Report assumes that
the Future Act Provisions have been complied with in relation to these
Tenements (see Section 5.5); and
(d) any Tenements which are yet to be granted and as such may need to
be granted in compliance with the Future Act Provisions in order to be
valid under the NTA (see Section 5.5).
Our searches indicate that 21 of the Tenements are within the external
boundaries of the native title claims specified in Part II of the Schedule. One of
these claims are yet to be determined by the Federal Court and one of the
claims has been determined by the Federal Court and registered.
Our searches did not return any results for ILUAs in relation to any of the
Tenements.
Registered native title claimants (and holders of native title under the
determinations) are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act Provisions in
respect of land in which native title may continue to subsist.
Freehold land
We have assumed that all of the freehold land the subject of the Tenements was
validly granted prior to 23 December 1996 and that therefore:
(b) registered native title claimants (and determined native title holders) are
not entitled to rights under the Future Act Provisions in respect of that
land.
Non-freehold land
Unless it is essential that the Company has access to any of the above-
mentioned parcels (or any other non-freehold land), it is recommended that all
parcels of non-freehold land are excised from any applications for mining leases.

(h) (Social impact): The Company may be asked to fund a study into the
social impact of its operations, including the social impact on the
registered native title claimants.
PVW Resources NL Page 12

Our Searches indicate that the Tenements are within the external boundaries of
the following native title claims, native title determinations and ILUAs:
The status of any native title claims, native title determinations and ILUAs is
summarised in Part II of this Report.
Native title claimants, holders of native title under the determinations and native
title parties under ILUAs are entitled to certain rights under the Future Act
Provisions.
The sections below examine the validity of the Tenements under the NTA.
Our Searches indicate that the following Tenements were granted before 1
January 1994 and as such have been retrospectively validated under the NTA.
Our Searches indicate that none of the Tenements were granted after 1 January
1994 but before 23 December 1996.
Our Searches indicate that the following Tenements were granted after
23 December 1996.

We have assumed that these Tenements were granted in accordance with the
Future Act Provisions and as such are valid under the NTA.
Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with
the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA.
An exception is where the renewal is the first renewal of a mining tenement that
was validly granted before 23 December 1996 and the following criteria are
satisfied:
• the term of the renewed mining tenement is not longer than the term of
the old mining tenement; and
PVW Resources NL Page 14
31 October 2018
• the rights to be created are not greater than the rights conferred by the
old mining tenement.
In such cases, the mining tenement can be renewed without complying with the
Future Act Provisions. It is currently uncertain whether this exemption applies to a
second or subsequent renewal of such a mining tenement.
Our Searches indicate that the following Tenements have been renewed after
23 December 1996, and as such, may need to have complied with the Future
Act Provisions to be validly renewed. We have assumed that the Future Act
Provisions were complied with to the extent necessary.
Renewals of Tenements in the future will need to comply with the Future Act
Provisions in order to be valid under the NTA. The registered native title claimants
and holders of native title identified in Section 5.3 of this Report will need to be
involved as appropriate under the Future Act Provisions.
The following Tenements are all currently applications and as such the grant of
the Tenements will need to satisfy the Future Act Provisions in order to be valid
under the NTA.
Applicant Tenement
The registered native title claimants, holders of native title and native title parties
to any ILUA identified in Section 5.3 of this Report will be involved in accordance
with the Future Act Provisions.
6. CROWN LAND
As set out in Part I of this Report, land the subject of the Tenements overlaps
Crown land as set out in the table below.
(i) for the time being under crop (or within 100 metres of that
crop);
(v) if the Crown land is a pastoral lease, the site of or situated within
400 metres of any water works, race, dam, well or bore not
being an excavation previously made and used for purposes by
a person other than the pastoral lessee,
without the written consent of the occupier, unless the warden by order
otherwise directs.
(i) taking all necessary steps to notify the occupier of any intention
to pass over the Crown land;
(vi) the sole purpose for passing over the Crown land must be to
gain access to other land not covered by section 6(a) to carry
out prospecting, exploration or mining activities;
The warden may not give the order referred to in section 6(a) that dispenses with
the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land covered by section 6(a)(iii). In
respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in section 6(a),
the warden may not make such an order unless he is satisfied that the land is
genuinely required for mining purposes and that compensation in accordance
with the Mining Act for all loss or damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the
occupier has been agreed between the occupier and the tenement holder or
assessed by the warden under the Mining Act.
PVW Resources NL Page 17
31 October 2018
Although the Company will be able to undertake its proposed activities on those
parts of the Tenements not covered by the prohibitions and pass over those
parts of the Tenements to which the restrictions do not apply immediately upon
listing on ASX, the Company should consider entering into access and
compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon
commencement of those activities in the event further activities are required on
other areas of the Tenements which are subject to prohibitions or restrictions.
7. PASTORAL LEASES
As set out in Part I of the Schedule to this Report certain applications and
tenements overlap with pastoral leases as follows:
taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown
land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to
improvements and livestock; and
(c) provides that the holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation
to an occupier of Crown land (ie the pastoral lessee) in certain
circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to
improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that
damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier
as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities,
including the passing and re-passing over any land.
We have advised the Company of the above overlap and the Company
confirms that it will have improvements and other features on the land subject of
the pastoral leases which overlaps with the Tenements. The Company
acknowledges that it will be required to obtain consent of the occupier or lease
holder or the Company can be prevented from undertaking its proposed mining
activities on the Tenements. This process is not uncommon for mining leases that
overlap with pastoral leases.
8. ENCROACHMENTS
9. FORFEITURE RISK
Our Searches indicate that, as at 31 October 2018, the Tenements set out in the
table below unmet annual minimum expenditure requirements. We understand
the DMIRS allows rent to be paid up to 30 days after the end of the tenement
year, while applications for an exemption to expenditure can be lodged up to
60 days after the end of a tenement year.
The relevant tenements are at risk of forfeiture if rents are not paid when due, if
applications for exemption are not lodged within time or, if lodged, expenditure
exemptions are not granted by the DMIRS. The usual outcome with under
expenditure is for the DMP to grant an exemption, or a nominal fine is imposed in
lieu of forfeiture. However, the Company should confirm whether any material
tenements are affected and, if they are, discussions should be held with the
DMIRS to determine if there is a real risk of forfeiture for those tenements.
Please not that P37/8517 searches indicate that it is still subject to forfeiture, due
to an unpaid fine for the amount of $60.00 which is due on the 4/12/2019 (Fine
541221).
10. ROYALTIES
(b) we assume that the registered holder of a Tenement has valid legal title
to the Tenement;
PVW Resources NL Page 22
31 October 2018
(c) this Report does not cover any third party interests, including
encumbrances, in relation to the Tenements that are not apparent from
our Searches and the information provided to us;
(e) with respect to the granting of the Tenements, we have assumed that
the State and the applicant for the Tenements have complied with, or
will comply with, the applicable Future Act Provisions;
(g) unless apparent from our Searches or the information provided to us, we
have assumed compliance with the requirements necessary to maintain
a Tenement in good standing;
(h) with respect to the application for the grant of a Tenement, we express
no opinion as to whether such application will ultimately be granted
and that reasonable conditions will be imposed upon grant, although
we have no reason to believe that any application will be refused or
that unreasonable conditions will be imposed;
(i) references in Parts I and II of this Report to any area of land are taken
from details shown on searches obtained from the relevant department.
It is not possible to verify the accuracy of those areas without
conducting a survey;
(j) the information in Parts I and II of this Report is accurate as at the date
the relevant Searches were obtained. We cannot comment on
whether any changes have occurred in respect of the Tenements
between the date of the Searches and the date of this Report;
(m) native title may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements. Whilst we
have conducted Searches to ascertain that native title claims and
determinations, if any, have been lodged in the Federal Court in relation
to the areas covered by the Tenements, we have not conducted any
research on the likely existence or non-existence of native title rights and
interests in respect of those areas. Further, the NTA contains no sunset
provisions and it is possible that native title claims could be made in the
future; and
PVW Resources NL Page 23
31 October 2018
(n) Aboriginal heritage sites or objects (as defined in the WA Heritage Act or
under the Commonwealth Heritage Act) may exist in the areas covered
by the Tenements regardless of whether or not that site has been
entered on the Register of Aboriginal Sites established by the WA
Heritage Act or is the subject of a declaration under the
Commonwealth Heritage Act other than the Heritage Searches. We
have not conducted any legal, historical, anthropological or
ethnographic research regarding the existence or likely existence of any
such Aboriginal heritage sites or objects within the area of the
Tenements.
12. CONSENT

Tengraph interests
Refer to Section 7 of this Report for information and details of tenements which overlap pastoral leases.
3. Groundwater Area The Tenement overlaps a Ground Water Area managed by the Department of Water and Environment Regulation (DWER).
Groundwater areas are proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act, 1914. Groundwater is a reserve of water beneath
the earth's surface in pores and crevices of rocks and soil. Recharge of groundwater aquifers is slow and can take many years.
Groundwater often supports wetland and stream ecosystems.
The Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (WA) prohibits the abstraction of groundwater (water that occupies the pores and
crevices of rock or soil) from a proclaimed groundwater area unless a current licence to construct/alter a well and a licence to
take groundwater has been issued by the DWER. Water licence allocations are aimed at ensuring equitable use of the state’s
water resources between licence holders and protecting the long-term security of the resources.
The DWER has released guidelines to set out its regulatory requirements for mining projects. The approval requirements for a
particular project will vary depending on the local water regime, the scale and the details of the proposed mining operation.
4. Mineralisation Zone, Area in which applications of Exploration Licences are restricted to a maximum of 70 blocks (required by section 57(1) Mining
Non Section 57(2AA) Act). Section 57(2AA) Mining Act states that if the area of land is in an area of the state designated under section 57A(1) it shall
not be more than 200 blocks.
5. DAA Heritage Survey Aboriginal Heritage Survey Areas are areas in which an Aboriginal Heritage Survey has been undertaken and results are described
Areas in a Heritage Survey Report. The Department of Indigenous Affairs holds copies of these reports.
A heritage survey conducted in a particular area does not necessarily mean that another heritage survey does not need to be
undertaken. This will depend on the type of survey undertaken and also when the original survey was undertaken. Not all
Aboriginal sites within a survey area are necessarily recorded in the survey. The type of survey undertaken, such as site
identification or Site Avoidance, is decided by the professional heritage consultant engaged by the proponent and depends
upon the scope and nature of the project. What is appropriate for one project may not be for a different project.
6. “C” Class Reserve Under section 41 of the Land Administration Act 1997 the Minister may set aside Crown lands by Ministerial Order in the public
Water interest. Every such reservation has its description and designated purpose registered on a Crown Land Title (CLT) and is depicted
on an authenticated map held by Landgate.
Reservation action is normally initiated by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage following community or Government

9. BOARD, MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Summaries of the profiles of each of the Directors are set out in Section 4.5 above.
To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted The Corporate Governance
Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by ASX Corporate
Governance Council (Recommendations).
With regard to the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the
current board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing
the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope,
the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance
policies and structures will be reviewed.
The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board
develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors
performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance
processes are to:
(b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and
activities; and
(c) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.
Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:
(a) leading and setting the strategic direction and objectives of the
Company;
4882-01/2033124_11 200
(b) appointing the Chairman of the Board, Managing Director or Chief
Executive Officer and approving the appointment of Executives and the
Company Secretary;
(f) overseeing the Company’s procedures and processes for making timely
and balanced disclosure of all material information that a reasonable
person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of
the Company’s securities;
(b) the composition of the Board has been structured so as to provide the
Company with an adequate mix of directors with industry knowledge,
technical, commercial and financial skills together with integrity and
judgment considered necessary to represent shareholders and fulfil the
business objectives of the Company.
The Board currently consists of four directors (an Executive Director and 3 Non-
Executive Director) of whom two (2) are considered independent, being Mark
Scolaro and Michael Griffiths. The Board considers the current balance of skills and
expertise is appropriate for the Company for its currently planned level of activity.
4332-01/2033124_23 201
The Board ensures that Shareholders are provided with all material information in
the Board’s possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect
a Director.
The Company shall develop and implement a formal induction program for
Directors which allows new directors to participate fully and actively in Board
decision-making at the earliest opportunity and enable new Directors to gain an
understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures.
In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. subject to any
necessary Shareholder approval, non-cash performance incentives such as
Options) as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or
otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other
expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their
duties as Directors.
The Board reviews and approves the remuneration policy to enable the Company
to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for
Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be
commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant
Directors’ time, commitment and responsibility. The Board is also responsible for
reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the
appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.
4332-01/2033124_23 202
9.10 Trading policy
The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and
purchase of securities in the Company by its directors, officers, employees and
contractors. The policy generally provides that for directors, the written
acknowledgement of the Chair (or the Board in the case of the Chairperson) must
be obtained prior to trading.
The Company will not have a separate audit committee until such time as the
Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a
sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company.
In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be
assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that
committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of
significance affecting financial reporting and compliance, the integrity of the
financial reporting of the Company, the Company’s internal financial control
system and risk management systems and the external audit function.
Under the ASX Listing Rules the Company will be required to provide a statement
in its annual financial report or on its website disclosing the extent to which it has
followed the Recommendations during each reporting period. Where the
Company has not followed a Recommendation, it must identify the
Recommendation that has not been followed and give reasons for not following
it.

11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
11.1 Litigation
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal
proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending
or threatened against our Company.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This
summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the
rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should
seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy
of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during
normal business hours.
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any
class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes
of Shareholders:
206
amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable
(excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim
dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as
against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of
the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be
applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the
profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company
may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment
plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which
provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to
time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend
reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either
pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain,
be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of
Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a
special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind
the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that
purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so
divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as
between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not
subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not
become liable for forfeiture.
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with
the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders
vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares,
the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms
of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being
wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the
207
holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised
by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of
the shares of that class.
The following is a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Performance
Rights that are on issue in Company:
(b) (Notification to holder): The Company shall notify the holder in writing
when the Milestone has been satisfied.
(c) (Vesting): Subject to (i), Performance Rights, that have not lapsed, shall
vest on the later to occur of:

confirming that the holder would like the Performance Rights to
vest.

each and no consideration will be payable upon the vesting of the
Performance Rights.

conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required
by the ASX Listing Rules.

the Milestone attached to the relevant Performance Right has
not been satisfied; and
208
(ii) the date that is three years from the date of issue if the

(in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in

entitlement issues.
(l) (Adjustment for bonus issue) If the Company makes a bonus issue of
Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in
lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the
number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the
conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of
Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the
holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for
the bonus issue.

the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law)

to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in
any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition;
(ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a
holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to
in paragraph (o)(i) within seven days if the Company considers
that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a
contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such
written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to
assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in
any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
(p) (No rights to return of capital) A Performance Right does not entitle the
holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction
of capital or otherwise.
(q) (Rights on winding up) A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to
participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding
up.
(r) (No other rights) A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than
those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where
such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be required to
continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable
person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the
Company’s securities.
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170
and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings

range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a
reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons
inspecting the register, including bidders for your securities in the context of
takeovers, regulatory bodies including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised
securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the share registry.

you. If you wish to do so, please contact the share registry at the relevant contact
