Conflicts of Interest<br />

The terms of the Offering were negotiated between <strong>Mirabela</strong> and Cormark Securities Inc. Cormark<br />

Securities Inc. negotiated its engagement by <strong>Mirabela</strong> and subsequently approached the other Agents and<br />

requested that they participate as members of the syndicate in connection with the Offering.<br />

The Company may be a ‘‘connected issuer’’ of Dundee Securities Corporation, one of the Agents, for the<br />

purposes of applicable securities laws. Based on information provided by Dundee Securities Corporation,<br />

Dundee Securities Corporation, the directors, officers, employees and affiliates thereof and associates of each of<br />

them (collectively, ‘‘Dundee Group’’) own or control, as of April 20, 2007, in aggregate, 14,708,408 ordinary<br />

shares of <strong>Mirabela</strong> representing 16.62% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of <strong>Mirabela</strong> and 15.76%<br />

of the ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis. In addition, the Dundee Group holds 250,000 options exercisable<br />

at A$0.95 per ordinary share until October 6, 2007. See ‘‘Interests of Management and Others in Material<br />

Transactions’’. The Dundee Group intends to purchase 2,615,000 Shares under the Offering. With the issuance<br />

of 30,000,000 Shares under the Offering, and assuming the purchase of 2,615,000 Shares under the Offering (and<br />

without giving effect to the Over-Allotment Option), the Dundee Group will own or control in aggregate,<br />

ordinary shares of <strong>Mirabela</strong> representing 14.62% of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares and 14.04%<br />

of the ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis.<br />

None of the proceeds of the Offering will be applied to the benefit of Dundee Securities Corporation or any<br />

affiliates thereof except to the extent that they receive a pro rata benefit as a holder of the ordinary shares of<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong> and will receive a portion of the Agents’ Fee payable by <strong>Mirabela</strong> to the Agents in connection with<br />

the Offering.<br />

RISK FACTORS<br />

An investment in the Shares is considered to be speculative due to the nature of <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s business and the<br />

present stage of its development. A prospective investor should carefully consider the risk factors set out below.<br />

Unallocated Proceeds if BFS Not Positive<br />

Management expects the BFS to be completed by May 2007. Management intends to use all of the net<br />

proceeds of the Offering to finance the capital costs of the Santa Rita Project if the results of the BFS are<br />

positive. See ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’. There can be no assurance that the outcome of the BFS will be positive.<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong> has no definitive plans for the expenditure of the net proceeds of the Offering if the BFS is not positive<br />

and management determines not to proceed with the Santa Rita Project. In such event, any expenditure of the<br />

net proceeds of the Offering shall be at the sole discretion of management, and there can be no assurance as of<br />

the date of this prospectus as to how such funds will be expended.<br />

Additional Financing<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong> will require additional capital in the future and no assurance can be given that such capital will be<br />

available at all or available on terms acceptable to <strong>Mirabela</strong>.<br />

The funds of <strong>Mirabela</strong> currently available and to be raised under the Offering will not be sufficient to<br />

finance the development capital costs the Santa Rita Project. Accordingly, <strong>Mirabela</strong> will need to raise further<br />

capital and/or debt financing to fund development of the Santa Rita Project. The success and the pricing of any<br />

such capital raising and/or debt financing will be dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at that time,<br />

the outcomes of the BFS or any other relevant feasibility studies and exploration programs. If additional capital<br />

is raised by an issue of securities, this may have the effect of diluting shareholders’ interests in <strong>Mirabela</strong>. Any<br />

debt financing, if available, may involve financial covenants which limit the Company’s operations. If <strong>Mirabela</strong><br />

cannot obtain such additional capital, <strong>Mirabela</strong> may not be able to complete the development of the Santa Rita<br />

Project which would adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.<br />
