SECTION 4
4. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE ISSUE
4.1 Purpose of the Issue
The purpose of the Issue is to raise up to approximately $3,000,000, with a
minimum subscription of $1,200,000. The proceeds from the Issue will be used as
follows:
Minimum
Subscription
Full
Subscription
(a) fund the ongoing exploration and
evaluation programmes (Diamonds and
Industrial Minerals) of the Company’s
Skeleton Coast Project (EPL 2698 – 2700);
$178,000 $623,000
(b) fund the ongoing exploration and
evaluation programmes of the
Company’s Erongo Polymetallic Project
(EPL 2805 – 2811);
$144,000 $529,000
(c) Fund the exploration and evaluation of
the Nuclear Fuel potential of the Erongo
Polymetallic Project (EPL 2805 – 2811);
$120,000 $420,000
(d) Fund the review of new resource projects; $50,000 $150,000
(e) provide funds for the corporate and
administration activities of the Company;
$490,000 $980,000
(f) provide working capital; and $140,659 $126,338
(g) meet the costs of the Issue. $77,351 $171,662
Total $1,200,000 $3,000,000
In the event that applications for the inclusion of nuclear fuels at the Company’s
Erongo Polymetallic Project are not approved by the Ministry of Mines & Energy,
Namibia no funds will be applied to the exploration and evaluation of the
nuclear fuel potential of the project. In the event this was to occur, these funds
would be applied to the review of new resource projects, and to working
capital.
Funds raised in excess of the minimum subscription are estimated to be applied
firstly to the increased costs of the Issue, and then equally to the exploration and
evaluation programmes of the Company’s resource projects (items (a) to (c)
above) and the corporate and administrative costs of the Company (item (e)
above) to the extent foreshadowed in the above table assuming the Issue is fully
subscribed. The balance of the funds raised from this Issue would then be used
for continuing working capital purposes, and lastly the review of new resource
projects.

SECTION 5
5. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES AND 2009 OPTIONS
The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares and
2009 Options. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a
definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of shareholders in the Company.
To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s
Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s
registered office during normal business hours.
5.1 Rights attaching to Shares
Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, and those to be issued following
the exercise of the free attaching 2009 Options offered pursuant to this
Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue. The
rights attaching to all such Shares include:
Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or
classes of Shares, at a General Meeting of Reefton every holder of fully paid
ordinary Shares present in person or by an attorney, representative or proxy shall
have one vote on a show of hands and one vote per Share on a poll.
A person who holds a Share which is not fully paid is entitled, on a poll, to such
number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of those Shares
registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount of the issue price of shares
paid bears to the total issue price. In the case of joint holders of Shares, the vote
of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, attorney or
representative, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint
holders and, for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which
the names stand in the Register of Shareholders.
Dividend Rights
The Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the
Shareholders entitled to the dividend. Subject to Clause 5.5 of the Constitution
and subject to the rights of any preference shareholders and to the rights of the
holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to
dividend, the dividend as declared shall be payable on all Shares in proportion
to the number of Shares held by them, irrespective of the amount paid up or
credited as paid up in the Shares in accordance with Part 2H.5 of Chapter 2H of
the Corporations Act.
Rights of Winding Up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special
resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the
property of the Company, and may for that purpose set a value as the liquidator
considers fair upon any property to be so decided, and may determine how the
division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of
shareholders.
11
Transfer of Shares
Subject to the constitution of Reefton, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules,
ordinary Shares are freely transferable.
Creation and Issue of further Shares
The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors
and, subject to any restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by Reefton’s
constitution, the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act, the Directors may allot,
issue, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of, those Shares to such persons on
such terms and conditions and with such rights and privileges as they may from
time to time determine.
Variation of Rights
At present, Reefton has on issue ordinary Shares. Any variation of rights shall be
subject to Part 2F.2 of Chapter 2F of the Corporations Act.
General Meetings
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at,
general meetings of Reefton and to receive all notices, accounts and other
documents required to be furnished to shareholders under Reefton’s
Constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
5.2 Terms and Conditions of 2009 Options
Each 2009 Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for a Share in the Company
at ten (10) cents per Share on the following terms:-
(a) The 2009 Options shall expire at 5:00 pm (WST) on 30 November 2009 but
may be exercised at any time prior to 30 November 2009.
(b) The 2009 Options are only exercisable at ten (10) cents each payable in
cash.
(c) The 2009 Options shall only be exercisable wholly or in part by executing
and forwarding to the Company a 2009 Option Exercise Form.
(d) There are no participating rights, or entitlements inherent in the 2009
Options to participate in any new issue or bonus issue of securities which
may be offered to members of the Company from time to time prior to or
on 30 November 2009.
(e) 2009 Optionholders have the right to exercise their 2009 Options prior to
the date of determining entitlements to any capital issue to the then
existing shareholders of the Company made during the currency of the
2009 Options. In this regard, 2009 Optionholders shall be given at least 10
Business Days notice before the determination of entitlements to any
issue, to exercise their 2009 Options.
(f) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division,
reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, the 2009
Options will be re-organised in accordance with the Listing Rules
applicable at the time of the re-organisation.
12
(g) Application for Official Quotation of the 2009 Options will be made by
the Company in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the
Corporations Act. In addition, application for Official Quotation of the
Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of the 2009 Options
will be made by the Company within three (3) business days after the
date of allotment of such Shares.
(h) Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of the 2009 Options
will be allotted and issued no more than 15 days after the receipt of a
properly executed exercise notice and receipt of the application monies.
(i) A statement will be issued for the 2009 Options. Attached to the
statement there will be a form that must be executed and forwarded to
the Company when exercising the 2009 Options. If there is more than
one 2009 Option on a statement, and prior to 30 November 2009 those
2009 Options are exercised in part, the Company will issue another
statement for the balance of the 2009 Options held and not yet
exercised.
13
SECTION 6
6. RISKS
The offer of Shares and free attaching 2009 Options pursuant to this Prospectus
should be considered speculative because of the uncertainties of success in
procuring interests in mineral tenements and the exploration, evaluation and
development of such tenements or any other investment. Such activities will
form a substantial part of the activities of the Company. The offer of Shares and
free attaching 2009 Options should be considered speculative for the following
reasons:
(a) Fluctuations in the price of commodities including but not limited to
base, precious and rare metals, rare earths, precious gemstones,
uranium and mineral sands.
(b) Inflation, interest rates, general economic changes, industrial disputes
and political factors in Australia and overseas likely to affect the
Australian equities markets.
(c) Exploration and mining by its nature contains elements of significant risk
in that success depends on discovery and delineation of recoverable
and economic ore reserves, design of suitable processes for recovery of
minerals and construction of an efficient operation at a remote
location. There is also the aspect of obtaining long term markets for any
mineral product.
(d) The Company’s success in obtaining the renewal of its existing mineral
licences from time to time, and in having applications for new mineral
licences granted by relevant government departments in the countries
that the Company currently operates, or operates sometime in the
future.
(e) The market price of the Company's securities being affected by varied,
unpredictable and often indefinable influences for equities in general
and mining and exploration stocks in particular.
(f) It is possible that there will exist on the Company's tenement areas
containing sacred sites or sites of significance to Aboriginal people
subject to the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act or areas subject
to the Native Title Act. As a result land within the mining tenements may
be subject to exploration, mining or other restrictions as a result of claims
of Aboriginal heritage sites or native title.
(g) Possible sovereign risks including but not limited to social or political
upheaval, indigenous peoples claims, and changes in laws relating to
foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, royalties, duties,
rules of exchange and controlled land and water use and mine safety.
This risk is particularly relevant with the Company’s principal mineral
assets being located in Namibia.
(h) For reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 the Company
must comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. These changes
will affect the way in which certain items are reported in the Company's
financial statements.
14
(i) The Directors of the Company believe its available cash, and the net
proceeds of the Issue will be adequate to fund the current exploration
and corporate activities of the Company as stated in this Prospectus.
Any inability to obtain additional finance as required for subsequent
exploration and corporate activities following the use of the Company’s
presently available funds and those to be raised pursuant to this
Prospectus would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
15
SECTION 7
7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the
Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and,
as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically,
like all listed companies, the Company is 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 Shares that will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, and the Shares to be
issued upon conversion of the free attaching 2009 Options that will be issued
pursuant to this Prospectus, will be in the same class of Shares that have been
quoted on the official list of ASX during the 12 months prior to the issue of this
Prospectus.
In general terms “transaction specific prospectuses” are only required to contain
information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company
and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general
information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits
and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are
reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and
specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 12
months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify
ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the
purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market
conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this
Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this
Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company
(not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the
