Summary of Financial<br />
Information:<br />
Management expects the BFS to be completed in May 2007. There can be no<br />
assurance that the outcome of the BFS will be positive or that additional financing<br />
will be available at all or on terms acceptable to <strong>Mirabela</strong> to finance the balance of<br />
the estimated US$223 million capital cost of the Santa Rita Project. Accordingly,<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong> may determine not to proceed with the Santa Rita Project. In such event,<br />
any expenditure of the net proceeds would be at the discretion of management of<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong>, and there can be no assurance as of the date of this prospectus as to how<br />
such funds will be expended.<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong> intends to hold the net proceeds of the Offering in term deposits at<br />
major Canadian and/or Australian banks pending their expenditure.<br />
While <strong>Mirabela</strong> intends to spend further funds available to it as stated above,<br />
there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a re-allocation of<br />
funds may be necessary or advisable. See ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’.<br />
The following table sets forth selected financial information for and as at the end<br />
of the periods indicated. This financial information is derived from, and should<br />
be read in conjunction with, the financial statements and notes thereto which are<br />
included elsewhere in this prospectus. All of the financial information presented<br />
herein is prepared in accordance with IFRS. <strong>Mirabela</strong> has not, and is not<br />
required to provide a reconciliation of its financial statements to Canadian<br />
generally accepted accounting principles. See ‘‘Selected Consolidated Financial<br />
Information’’ and ‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition<br />
and Results of Operations’’.<br />

Risk Factors:<br />
A prospective purchaser of Shares should be aware that there are various risks<br />
that could have a material adverse effect on, among other things, the properties,<br />
business and condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. These risk<br />
factors, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus,<br />
including information contained in the section entitled ‘‘Forward-Looking<br />
Statements’’, should be carefully reviewed and considered before a decision to<br />
purchase Shares is made. These risk factors include: the Company has no<br />
definitive plans for the net proceeds of the Offering if the BFS is not positive; the<br />
Company will require significant additional financing in the future to complete<br />
the Santa Rita Project and no assurance can be given that such financing will be<br />
available at all or on terms acceptable to the Company; the Company currently<br />
depends heavily on successfully completing the BFS and achieving successful<br />
operations and mineral recovery at Santa Rita; the price and marketability of<br />
