ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 4 February 2014

AUSTRALIAN BAUXITE LIMITED ASX: ABZ

About Australian Bauxite Limited ASX Code ABZ

Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) is well advanced to establish its first mine in Tasmania (ML 1961).

ABX holds the core of the newly discovered Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. Its 42 bauxite tenements in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania covering 6,534 km[2] were rigorously selected on 3 principles:

  1. good quality bauxite;

  2. proximity to infrastructure connected to export ports; and

  3. free of socio-environmental constraints.

All tenements are 100% owned and free of obligations for processing and third-party royalties. ABx has already discovered many bauxite deposits and new discoveries are still being made as knowledge and expertise grows. ABx conducts vigorous reviews of the commercial viability of its projects and tenements, resulting in new acquisitions, but also reductions in area as exploration is conducted.

The company’s bauxite is high quality and can be processed into alumina at low temperature – the type that is in short-supply globally.

On the mainland, ABx has declared Mineral Resources in Inverell, northern NSW, at its Taralga project in southern NSW; at Guyra and at the Binjour Plateau in central QLD confirming that ABx has discovered a significant bauxite deposit including some bauxite of outstandingly high quality.

In Tasmania, at Bald Hill, the Company’s first bauxite mine is targeted for production in late 2014.

Australian Bauxite Limited aspires to identify large bauxite resources in the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province, which is emerging as one of the world’s best bauxite provinces.

ABx has the potential to create significant bauxite developments in three states - Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. Its bauxite deposits are favourably located for direct shipping of bauxite to both local and export customers.

Cleansing Statement issued in accordance with ASIC Class Order CO 09/425

The Company gives notice that within 24 hours it will make offers to issue New Shares under the SPP without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Act).

This notice is being given under ASIC Class Order 09/425 - Share and interest purchase plans.

At the date of this notice, the Company has complied with the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Act as they apply to the Company and section 674 of the Act.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and do not wish to subscribe for New Shares, you are not obliged to do anything. You will not receive any benefits or New Shares.

13

ABx Share Purchase Plan

under the terms of the Share Purchase Plan.

14. RISK CONSIDERATIONS

While the Offer Price represents an approximately 4% discount to the VWAP of the last 10 trading days to 24 January 2014, being the day on which Shares last traded prior to the date of the announcement of the Share Purchase Plan, a subscription under the Share Purchase Plan is a speculative investment. The market price may change between the dates you apply for the New Shares and the issue of the New Shares to you. Accordingly, the value of the New Shares applied for may rise or fall.

This Offer is not a prospectus and does not require the types of disclosures required under the Corporations Act. You must rely on your own knowledge of the Company, previous disclosures made by the Company to ASX and, if necessary, consult your professional adviser when deciding whether or not to accept the Offer and participate in the Share Purchase Plan.

15. PRIVACY

By completing the Application Form, you will be providing personal information to ABx. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) governs the use of a person’s personal information and sets out principles governing the ways in which organisations should treat personal information. The Company collects information about each Applicant provided on an Application Form for the purposes of evaluating and processing the Application and, if the Application is successful, to administer the Applicant’s security holding in ABx. If ABx is obliged to do so by law, investors’ personal information will be passed on to other parties strictly in accordance with legal requirements. Once personal information is no longer needed for ABx’s records, ABx will destroy or redact it.

By submitting an Application Form, each Applicant agrees that ABx may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Application Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the share registry (Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited), ABx’s related bodies corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to ASX and regulatory authorities.

If you do not provide the information required on the Application Form, ABx may not be able to process your Application.

An Applicant has a right to gain access to the information that ABx holds about that person subject to certain exemptions under law. A fee may be charged for access. Access requests must be made in writing to ABx’s registered office.
