Use of Proceeds:<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong> will have 118,450,000 issued and outstanding ordinary shares<br />

(122,950,000 if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full). The TSX has<br />

conditionally approved the listing of the Shares distributed under this prospectus<br />

on the TSX. Listing of the Shares is subject to <strong>Mirabela</strong> fulfilling all of the<br />

requirements of the TSX on or before June 24, 2007. In accordance with the<br />

listing rules of the ASX, upon closing of the Offering, <strong>Mirabela</strong> will apply to list<br />

the Shares distributed under this prospectus on the ASX.<br />

At the election of a shareholder, Shares may be registered on either the<br />

Australian register (for trading on the ASX) or the Canadian register (for trading<br />

on the TSX). See ‘‘Trading on The Toronto Stock Exchange and Australian<br />

Securities Exchange’’.<br />

30,000,000 Shares (C$159,000,000). In addition, the Agents have the option,<br />

exercisable until that date that is 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to<br />

purchase additional shares equal to up to 15% of the number of Shares sold in<br />

the Offering, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization<br />

purposes. See ‘‘Plan of Distribution’’.<br />

C$5.30 per Share<br />

The estimated net proceeds to be received by <strong>Mirabela</strong> from the Offering will be<br />

C$149,650,000, after deducting the Agents’ Fee and the costs of the Offering<br />

(estimated to be C$1,400,000). If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full<br />

the estimated net proceeds to be received by <strong>Mirabela</strong>, after deducting the<br />

Agents’ Fee and the costs of the Offering (estimated to be C$1,400,000) are<br />

C$172,307,500.<br />

The working capital of <strong>Mirabela</strong> as at April 20, 2007 was approximately<br />

C$18.7 million. The revised technical report dated April 2007 in respect of the<br />

Santa Rita Project recommends that <strong>Mirabela</strong> complete the BFS and continue its<br />

existing drilling and exploration programs. Consistent with this, <strong>Mirabela</strong> intends<br />

to use its available funds to complete the BFS (C$4.8 million), to make<br />

installments, as and when due, under the land purchase agreements pursuant to<br />

which <strong>Mirabela</strong> has the option to acquire the land comprising the Santa Rita<br />

Project area (C$5.7 million, assuming such options are exercised), finance its<br />

existing drilling and exploration program at the Santa Rita, Peri Peri and<br />

Palestina projects (C$1.5 million) and the balance for general corporate purposes<br />

and for working capital including the capital costs of the Santa Rita Project.<br />

Management believes that the Santa Rita Project is sufficiently advanced to<br />

warrant undertaking the Offering in advance of the results of the BFS. Assuming<br />

the BFS is positive, the net proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance a<br />

portion of the capital costs of the Santa Rita Project, estimated to be<br />

US$223 million. Mr. Nick Poll, who is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing<br />

Director of <strong>Mirabela</strong> and a qualified person within the meaning of National<br />

Instrument 43-101 has been involved in the preparation of <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s work plan<br />

and the related allocation of its working capital and proceeds of the Offering, and<br />

believes them to be reasonable.<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong> intends to raise the balance of the funds required to finance the capital<br />

costs of the Santa Rita Project through debt and/or equity financing. <strong>Mirabela</strong><br />

has not yet obtained commitments for this financing. See ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’ and<br />

‘‘Risk Factors’’.<br />
