Dear Shareholder
2011 Shareholder Share Purchase Plan
Closing Date – 5pm AWST, 5 October 2011 (' Closing Date ')
The Board of Directors of Aruma Resources Limited (‘ Aruma ’ or ‘ the Company ’) is pleased to offer shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Company’s Shareholder Share Purchase Plan (‘ Plan ’) enabling all shareholders registered on the record date to participate on an equal basis to purchase ordinary shares in the Company.
The Plan entitles shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase shares in the Company (‘ Shares ’) at an attractive price, free of all brokerage, commission and stamp duty (‘ Offer ’) and without the need for the Company to issue a prospectus.
Terms of the Plan
This letter sets out the terms and conditions of the Offer. By agreeing to purchase Shares under the Plan, you will agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in this letter.
Purpose of the Offer
The Offer is designed to allow all shareholders of the Company to increase their shareholding in the Company. Additionally, funds raised will be used for targeted exploration programs on the Company’s existing projects, review of new exploration and development opportunities and general working capital.
Intentions of Directors
Directors, as shareholders, are entitled to participate in the Share Purchase Plan, on the same basis as other shareholders.
Participation
Participation in the Plan is open to all persons registered as holders of Shares at 5pm AWST, on 12 September 2011 (‘ Record Date ’) who have an address (as recorded in the Company’s register of members) in Australia or New Zealand (‘ Eligible Members ’). This letter will not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
Participation in the Plan is entirely at the discretion of Eligible Members. Eligible Members may apply for a parcel of Shares under the Plan worth $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 (valued at $0.075 per Share), or alternatively, Eligible Members may do nothing, thereby retaining their current shareholding.

The Offer is non-renounceable, meaning that Eligible Members cannot transfer their entitlement to purchase Shares under this Offer to another person.
If you wish to participate in the Plan, the attached application form (' Application Form ') must be received by the Company’s registry before 5pm (AWST) on 5 October 2011 . Please refer to the lodgement instructions below, and the instructions on the Application Form.
Pricing
As an incentive to shareholders, the Shares are being offered at an issue price of $0.075 each, representing a discount of approximately 13% to the average closing price of shares in the Company over the 5 days of trading prior to the Company going into the trading halt to announce the Plan and a placement of up to 11.5 million shares.
You should note, however, the market price of shares may rise or fall between the date of this Offer and the date on which Shares are allocated to you. This means that the issue price you pay for the Shares may be greater than or less than the market price of the Shares at the date of allotment of the Shares under the Offer. You should obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer prior to lodging your Application Form.
Limit on Participation
In order to comply with ASIC regulations, an Eligible Member may not acquire more than $15,000 worth of shares under shareholder share purchase plans in any 12 month period, taking into account all applications including joint and other beneficial interests.
The maximum number of 200,000 Shares ($15,000 worth of Shares), for which each Eligible Member may apply under the Plan, will apply even if any Eligible Member has received more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because the Eligible Member has more than one holding under a separate share account). The Company reserves the right to reject any acceptance where there is non-compliance with this rule, or any other term of the Plan.
If you are a custodian, trustee or nominee within the definition of “custodian” in ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] ( Custodian ), you may contribute a maximum of $15,000.00 in applying for shares for each beneficiary on whose behalf you or a downstream custodian hold Aruma shares (but joint holders are taken to be a single holder), subject to providing us with a custodian certificate. If you are not a Custodian, the rules for multiple single holdings apply and you may only contribute a maximum of $15,000.00 in applying for shares. You are not eligible to participate on behalf of a person who resides outside Australia and New Zealand
Allotment of Shares
The Company is intending to raise up to $350,000 under the SPP and reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and it is the Board’s intention to issue Shares under the Plan on or around 10 October 2011.
Shares allotted under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with all other fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the date of their issue. The Company will, promptly after allotment of Shares under the Plan, apply for the Shares to be quoted on the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange (' ASX ').
Costs of Participation
No brokerage, commissions, stamp duty or other transaction cost will be payable by Eligible Members in respect of their application for, and allotment of Shares under the Plan.
