Dear Sir/Madam

QUOTATION OF SECURITIES

Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX Code: ALY) (“Alchemy”) is pleased to announce that pursuant to its announcement dated 29 May 2008, Alchemy has completed its acquisition of the Three Rivers Gold Project from Troy Resources NL (“Troy”). After completing satisfactory due diligence of the tenements, Alchemy has today issued Troy with 6,271,462 fully paid ordinary shares based on the 14 day VWAP of 15.94 cents per share which equates to $1 million.

Alchemy has also issued 474,638 fully paid ordinary shares and 2,000,000 options exercisable at $0.25 on or before 31 August 2010 to a nominee of Carey Mining Pty Ltd, which assisted in the acquisition of the Three Rivers Gold Project. All of the above issue of securities was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting conducted on 22 July 2008.

The shares issued to Troy and the options issued to the nominee of Carey Mining Pty Ltd are subject to a 12 month voluntary escrow from the date of issue.

The Company has also finalised the allotment of 5,744,471 shortfall options pursuant to the Entitlement Issue Prospectus dated 29 May 2008. The directors have determined not to issue all shortfall options (4,634,750 unallocated of the total 19,800,00) under the Prospectus to avoid diluting the interests of current shareholders.

Attached is the Appendix 3B seeking quotation of the securities and Notice under Section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act.

Yours faithfully ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED
