Please Vote Today - Immediate Attention Required

June 8, 2015

Dear Shareholders:

This letter is being sent to you as a reminder that your vote is very important with respect to the special meeting of shareholders of Asia Now to be held on Thursday June 18, 2015. Shareholders are being asked to approve an arrangement agreement between Asia Now Resources Corp. (“Asia Now” or the “Corporation”) and China Gold Pte. Ltd. (“China Gold”) which provides for the acquisition by China Gold of all Asia Now issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) not already held by China Gold (the “Arrangement”).

Your vote is important, no matter how many Shares you own. If you have not voted or if you wish to change your vote, please take a few moments and VOTE NOW, using the enclosed form of proxy. Please use the control number located on the enclosed form of proxy to vote via one of the methods listed on the back page of this letter. If you have already voted, voting now will revoke your earlier vote and your new proxy will be counted.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ARRANGEMENT.

Your board made the recommendation to shareholders to vote FOR the Arrangement after considering the recommendation of the special committee and the fairness opinion of Mackie Research Capital Corporation among other things. In making the recommendation, the board considered that the stock has been illiquid.

The Shares are very thinly traded, making it difficult or impossible for shareholders to sell efficiently through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the offer for the Shares is a 100% Premium: The price at which the Shares will be paid out in cash ($0.02 per Share) represents 100% premium to the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares in the 30 trading days prior to April 23, 2015.

Your board wishes to remind shareholders with respect to the secured loan agreement between the Corporation and China Gold (the “Secured Loan”). If the arrangement is not approved, the principal amount outstanding of up to $1,075,735 under the Secured Loan plus accrued interest and other related costs will become due. The Corporation will not have sufficient funds available to repay the amounts owing under the Secured Loan. Consequently, if the Arrangement is not completed and the lender enforces its security, it is highly likely that the Corporation will be required to make a filing under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency legislation. Shareholders will be unlikely to receive any proceeds for their Shares if the assets of the Corporation are liquidated under bankruptcy proceedings as creditors will have priority over shareholders in such proceedings. In addition to the Secured Loans, China Gold holds two convertible debentures of the Corporation issued in connection with loans on December 16, 2013 and April 9, 2014, each in the principal amount of $1,248,000, representing an aggregate principal amount of $2,496,000.

Shareholders are encouraged to review the Management Information Circular for full details of the proposed Arrangement and consider the alternative and take the time to vote. A copy of the Management Information Circular can be viewed at www.sedar.com or by contacting the proxy solicitor, Shorecrest Group. If the required approval is not received at this meeting, the Arrangement will not be proceed and the future of Asia Now will be uncertain.

Sincerely, On behalf of the Board of Directors

“James Macintosh”

Chairman of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Asia Now Resources Corp.
