CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

Bellevue Gold Limited - Share Purchase Plan

On behalf of the Board of Bellevue Gold Limited (ACN 110 439 686) ( Company or BGL ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) under a Share Purchase Plan ( Offer or SPP ). The SPP allows you to apply to purchase Shares on the same terms as the Company’s recent underwritten share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors as announced on Thursday, 2 September 2021 ( Placement ). The SPP is not underwritten.

The Company is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity under the SPP to acquire from A$2,500 (minimum) up to A$30,000 (maximum) worth of Shares at an issue price of A$0.85 per Share ( Issue Price ). The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the Company undertook the Placement and represents a:

  • (a) 10% discount to the last traded price of A$0.945; and

(b) 10% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last 10 days on which sales of Shares were recorded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ),

on Wednesday, 1 September 2021, being the day prior to the announcement of the Offer.

Shareholders will be eligible to participate in the Offer if they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 5:00pm (WST) on Wednesday, 1 September 2021 ( Eligible Shareholder ). Participation in the SPP is optional.

The Directors view the SPP as a means of allowing Eligible Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand to participate in the recently announced equity raising without incurring brokerage or transaction costs. BGL Directors eligible to participate in the Offer have indicated they intend to take up the maximum SPP entitlement of A$30,000 worth of Shares.

The proceeds from the SPP are being used by the Company for ongoing resource and discovery drilling through grade control, step out, infill and discovery drilling from surface and underground platforms, as well as for general working capital requirements and the costs of the Placement and SPP. For further details of the proposed use of funds, please refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated Thursday, 2 September 2021.

The Company is targeting to raise up to A$25,000,000 (before costs) via the SPP, with the ability to take oversubscriptions.

How to apply for SPP Shares

The SPP opens on Monday, 13 September 2021 and is expected to close at 5:00pm (WST) on Friday, 1 October 2021. Shares under the SPP are expected to be issued on Friday, 8 October 2021 and to commence trading on ASX on Monday, 11 October 2021.

Application for Shares under the Offer must be made by 5:00pm (WST) on Friday, 1 October 2021 in accordance with the instructions in the enclosed Application Form. Application details are also available on the Offer website ( https://bellevuespp.thereachagency.com ) where Eligible

Shareholders can review the terms of the SPP and retrieve their personalised details to make payment.

The Offer is made in accordance with Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 and therefore does not require a prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Important information

The Offer is governed by the enclosed terms and conditions. The Board urges you to read these terms and conditions carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to participate in the SPP.

If you are uncertain whether Shares are a suitable investment for you, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.

  • (c) you are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.

3. Issue Price

The issue price for each New Share under the Offer is A$0.85 per Share ( Issue Price ).

In accordance with the requirements of Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 ( ASIC Instrument 2019/547 ), the Company notes that:

  • (a) On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer (being Wednesday, 1 September 2021), the closing price of the Shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) was A$0.945 per Share. The Issue Price is a 10% discount to that closing price.

  • (b) The volumed weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of the Company's Shares over the last 10 trading days up to and including Wednesday, 1 September 2021 was $0.9442 ( 10 Day VWAP ). The Issue Price represents a 10% discount to the 10 Day VWAP.

  • (d) The market price of Shares in the Company may rise and fall between the date of the Offer and the date that any Shares are issued under the Offer.

  • (e) By making an application under the Offer, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that although the Issue Price is at a discount to the 10 Day VWAP, Shares are a highly speculative investment and the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make the Offer and the date of issue of New Shares under the Offer. The Share prices may rise or fall and the price of Shares might trade below or above the Issue Price. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, the Issue Price is equal to or greater than 80% of the volume weighted average price for the 5 days in which trading in the Shares occurred before the date of the announcement of the Offer.

The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares prior to making an application under this Offer.

4.2 A$30,000 maximum

This limit will apply even if you receive more than one offer from the Company (for example, because you are a joint holder of Shares or because you hold more than one shareholding under separate accounts).

The Company reserves the right to issue to an Eligible Shareholder fewer New Shares than the number applied for, for whatever reason, including to avoid the possible subscription of over A$30,000 worth of New Shares by an Eligible Shareholder (including through joint holdings, multiple registered holdings or any holding in which they have a beneficial interest(s)).

4.3 Maximum number of New Shares to be issued and Scale Back policy

  • (a) Maximum amount : In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, the total number of New Shares under the Offer must not exceed 30% of the number of Shares currently on issue ( ASX Limit ).

At this stage, the maximum amount raised under the Offer will be capped at a total of A$25,000,000 (before costs), being a maximum of 29,411,764 New Shares. However, the Company reserves the right to change this cap at its discretion by announcement to ASX (subject to the ASX Limit).

  • (b) Scale back : The Board reserves the right to reject or scale back any applications in whole or in part at its absolute discretion ( Scale Back ). If there is a Scale Back, you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied.

However, the Company may in its absolute discretion determine to apply the Scale Back to the extent and in the manner it sees fit, which may include taking into account a number of factors including, but not limited to:

  • (i) the size of your shareholding at the Record Date;

  • (ii) the extent to which you have sold or purchased Shares since the Record Date;

  • (iii) whether you have multiple registered holdings;
