Appendi x 2: State m ent from t h e Board of Bauxite R e sources L t d.

Statement by Bauxite Resources Board of Directors in relation to the requisition that shareholders of the Company vote on the resolution of Mr Farooq Khan proposed on behalf of Scarborough Equities Pty Ltd, to elect that company’s nominee, Mr Christopher Ryan, as a Director of the Company

In respo n se to the Statement by Mr Christopher Ryan, supporting his nominati o n to the Board o f Bauxite R esources Limited (“ B RL” or “t h e Comp a ny”), the Board pro v ides the following responsiv e commen t s.

The Boa r d of BRL, a s presentl y constitut e d, have s i gnificant “skin in the game” with four of the curr e nt direct o rs representing shar e holdings of 75,820, 4 01, being nearly 3 3 % of the shares in the Com p any. Furth e r, the CE O ’s remun e ration has significan t performa n ce rights which ar e aligned to creating sharehold e r value.

As part o f the evaluation of the suitability of Mr R yan to th e Board, t h e existing directors consider it signific a nt that M r Ryan ha s no exper i ence in t h e Bauxite / Alumina/ A luminium industry n or has littl e or any ex p erience i n developi n g Chinese off-take f o cussed pr o jects.

With res p ect to th e threaten e d IMF litig a tion refer r ed to in M r Ryan’s st a tement, the Board believes it has ma d e timely a nd appro p riate disc l osures wh i ch have b een guid e d by our legal ad v isors taki n g into ac c ount the sensitivitie s of the le g al proce s s and the need to maintain required l e vels of c o nfidence a nd legal p rivilege, e s pecially d u ring the p re-action conferral process t h at is curr e ntly unde r way. The Company took the d ecision t o suspend the shar e buyback, which it h a d put in place in the first half of 2013, afte r taking advice from its legal advisers. This was done by reference to establ i shed cor p orate go v ernance principle s and the n eed to av o id any pe r ception o f a conflict of interest.

The strat e gy of the C ompany has been p reviously e nunciate d ; being th e commer c ialisation of the 10 0 % BRL ow n ed Fortun a deposit a nd the pr o gression of the two e xisting join t ventures with Chi n ese Stat e Owned E nterprises (“SOE’s”). Like man y explorati o n juniors with SOE partners, condition s in China over the l a st two ye a rs have l e d to dela y and def e rment of funding approvals which has resulted in slower than desi r ed progr e ss in the two joint ventures . Despite that, BRL has been very careful to pre s erve its ri g hts under the joint venture a greemen t s and is e n deavouring to work c ooperatively with its Chinese partners to maintain necessary forward m omentum.

While th e re has b e en a mat e rial slowd o wn acros s the mini n g explora t ion sector over the past tw o years, B R L and its joint vent u re partne r s have g r own the r esource b ase from approxi m ately 50 m illion tonn e s in May 2 012 to so m e 380 million tonnes now. This has been achieve d through l o w cost ta r geted ex p loration o v er a signifi c ant explo r ation leas e holding. The ave r age cost per tonne of resour c e is under $0.10 per tonne which is an enviable achieve m ent.

During the mining industry downturn, most juniors have experienced significant loss in market capitalisation and many have all but stopped development activity. The Board of BRL has remained focussed on the long term demand for bauxite/alumina from China and has continued to build the Company’s sizeable resource base to support development as industry negativity is replaced by looming supply shortages, which are now emerging.

The Board believes it has been prudent with expenditure during these difficult times and has reduced expenditure significantly since late 2012 following a cost review.

Mr Ryan’s quoting of figures with respect to cash spent on administration, in comparison to exploration, do not give an accurate picture, given a significant portion of the JV costs are classified as Administration on consolidation.

Since the commencement of our new CEO a year ago, the Company has worked on defining the 100% BRL owned Fortuna Deposit, has undertaken environmental constraints studies, and commenced ancillary studies to support the commercialisation of the Fortuna resource. It is not presently possible to set a firm timeline to development, albeit indicative “target” timelines to development have been communicated but these remain very much subject to the required regulatory approvals. The Company’s policy has been to be prudent and careful in its approach.

The Board continually assesses the performance and skills of its directors. The recruitment of the CEO was specifically targeted to enhance the bauxite/alumina project development requirement of the Company and also exposure to Chinese enterprises.

The Board currently consists of 7 members who, as indicated above, collectively represent about 33% of the Company’s shares on issue. This is a large Board for a company of BRL’s size, and there is a good diversity of experience on the Board, including significant bauxite and alumina experience, legal, commercial and financial skills. The view of the Board is that Mr Ryan would not significantly add to the existing skill set of the Board

The Board has canvassed other major shareholders of the Company and has ascertained that there is no support amongst them for the appointment of Mr Ryan to the Board.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST the proposed resolution to appoint Christopher Ryan to the Board of Directors.
