Stock Exchange Prices<br />

The market price of a publicly traded stock is affected by many variables not all of which are directly related<br />

to the success of the Company. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and<br />

volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be<br />

development stage companies, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the<br />

operating performance, underlying asset values or prospectus of such companies. There can be no assurance that<br />

such fluctuations will not affect the price of <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s securities.<br />

Conflicts of Interest<br />

Certain directors of <strong>Mirabela</strong> are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration<br />

industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnership or joint ventures which are<br />

potential competitors of <strong>Mirabela</strong>. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions in investments<br />

where the other interests of these directors may conflict with the interests of <strong>Mirabela</strong>. Directors of <strong>Mirabela</strong><br />

with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and<br />

securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.<br />

Use of Inferred Resources in Pit Optimization Study<br />

The pit optimization study referred to in this prospectus and from which the economic analysis of the Santa<br />

Rita Project was derived is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too<br />

speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be<br />

categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the results described in the study will be realized.<br />

Resource Estimates and Lack of Mineral Reserves<br />

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice.<br />

Estimates, which were valid when made, may change significantly upon new information becoming available. In<br />

addition, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be<br />

inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralization or formations different from those predicted by past<br />

sampling and drilling, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a<br />

way which could have a negative effect on the Company’s operations. The Company does not have any mineral<br />

reserves and there is no assurance that mineral reserves will be established. A mineral resource is not the<br />

equivalent of a commercially mineable orebody or a mineral reserve.<br />

Effecting Service of Process<br />

Most of <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s directors reside outside of Canada. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are<br />

located outside of Canada. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within Canada upon<br />

the directors, officers and experts named in this prospectus. It may also not be possible to enforce against<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong>, certain of its directors and officers, and certain experts named herein, judgments obtained in<br />

Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws in Canada.<br />

INTEREST <strong>OF</strong> MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS<br />

IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS<br />

Other than as disclosed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, no director, executive officer or<br />

shareholder holding on record or beneficially, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the issued shares of<br />

<strong>Mirabela</strong>, or any of their respective associates or affiliates has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any<br />

transaction in which <strong>Mirabela</strong> has participated within the three year period prior to the date of this prospectus,<br />

or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will materially affect <strong>Mirabela</strong> other than<br />

as follows:<br />

1. On April 20, 2004, <strong>Mirabela</strong> entered into an agreement (the ‘‘Moonlight Agreement’’) with Moonlight,<br />

a corporation associated with Mr. William Clough who is a director of <strong>Mirabela</strong>. Under the terms of<br />

the agreement, <strong>Mirabela</strong> acquired all of Moonlight’s shareholdings in <strong>Mirabela</strong> Brazil for A$176,777<br />
