AUSTRAL GOLD LIMITED (THE “COMPANY”) – APPENDIX 3Y CHANGE OF DIRECTOR’S INTEREST NOTICE

We note the attached Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice was lodged outside of the required timeframe as prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 3.19. We further note as follows:

1. The Appendix 3Y - Change of Interest Notice (the ‘Notice’) arose as a result of an off-market transfer undertaken by Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. (‘IFISA’). The Notice was not lodged with the ASX within the prescribed timeframe due to a delayed communication in relation to the off market transfer being processed by the Company’s administration office in Argentina. As soon as this oversight was discovered, all steps were taken to immediately remedy the matter.

2. As previously noted, the Company and its Board of Directors are aware of their obligations under ASX Listing Rule 3.19A.

3. The Company has commenced a process of requiring all directors to execute a further declaration in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.19B. In addition, the Company is seeking an undertaking from IFISA in relation to the reported shareholdings of Eduardo Elsztain, the controller of IFISA.The Company believes that the combination of the current arrangements and the further declaration from the directors and IFISA are adequate to ensure continued compliance with ASX Listing Rule 3.19B.

For and on behalf of the Board,
