Dear Sir

Placement to Sophisticated Investors and Share Purchase Plan

Placement

The Board of Aruma Resources Limited (“ Aruma ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce the successful placement of 11.5 million shares at 7.5 cents each to raise $863,500 (before costs). 9.4 million shares are being issued to sophisticated investor clients of Patersons Securities Limited under the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to ASX listing rule 7.1. The remaining 2.1 million shares are to be issued to entities associated with Aruma’s directors, subject to shareholder approval.

The 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.

Share Purchase Plan

Aruma will also offer existing shareholders the opportunity to invest in the Company at a price of 7.5 cents per share through a Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) to raise up to $350,000 and the Company may accept oversubscriptions. This is the same issue price as the Placement and represents a discount of approximately 1.4 cents to the Company’s average closing price of 8.9 cents on the 5 days the Company’s shares traded prior to the trading halt on 9 September 2011.

Offers under the SPP will be made shortly and will enable eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase up to $15,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in Aruma, at an attractive price, free of brokerage and commission.

The SPP will be open to all eligible shareholders who are registered holders as at 5.00pm Perth time on 12 September 2011. Other details of the SPP will be advised shortly along with the SPP documents to be sent to shareholders.

About Aruma Resources

Aruma (ASX: AAJ) is a focussed gold exploration company with seven prospective project areas within the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. Inclusive of several tenements which are still under application, Aruma’s tenement package now totals over 1,000km2 located on regional structures in the Norseman - Wiluna Greenstone Belt which contains most of Australia's lode-type gold deposits..

The flagship Glandore Project is approximately 40km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Previous exploration of the Glandore Project has been focussed on or near areas of outcrop. The areas covered by soil or lake sediments have been largely ignored by past explorers but are now the focus of many successful companies in the immediate area.

The Glandore Hub Project is situated <60km to the east of Glandore and comprises several gold exploration projects including Kurnalpi South prospects, Gindalbie and Bulong within an underexplored greenstone belt that hosts several major new discoveries. Just outside of this area is the Patricia Lease which has the covered extensions of a gold belt to the north and south.

The Laverton East, Darlot and Jundee South Projects are the northern projects, and the Laverton Projects anomalies were drilled at the end of the quarter. Each of the project areas can be readily accessed from the regional towns of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Laverton or Wiluna.

The Company is committed to generating resources through land acquisition and utilising new exploration technologies ensuring a minimal cost per ounce of discovery.
