2. CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

As indicated in the January 2007 Prospectus your Directors committed to an offer of Options to Shareholders of the Company approximately three months after the Company's listing on ASX. As you will be aware, the Company has been presented with a number of exciting acquisitions broadening the base of its exploration opportunities in Brazil. The pursuit of these acquisitions has delayed the Option issue presented by this Prospectus.

All Shareholders registered as at 5pm WST on 7 November 2007 will be entitled to participate in this nonrenounceable entitlement offer of Options on the basis of 1 Option for every 1 Share held.

The closing date for acceptance of the Offer is 27 November 2007. The Board recommends all Shareholders take up their Entitlement however all Shareholders should consider this opportunity carefully before applying.

The Directors take this opportunity to thank Shareholders for their support since the Company's listing on ASX and look forward to your continued support in the future.

Yours sincerely

3. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

3.1 Details of the Offer

Options

This Prospectus is for a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of Options at an issue price of one cent ($0.01) each to Shareholders on the basis of one Option for every one Share held at the Record Date. The principal purpose of the Offer is to provide a benefit to Shareholders who have retained their Shares through to the Record Date by enabling them to acquire Options to subscribe for additional Shares in the Company at an exercise price of 20 cents each and an expiry date of 30 June 2009.

Assuming all shareholders accept their full entitlements the Company will raise approximately $521,715 from the Offer (before costs of the Offer). These funds will be applied initially towards the costs of the Offer with the balance to be applied towards working capital.

If no funds are raised as a result of this portion of the Offer, the Company has sufficient working capital to meet its obligations as set out in the January 2007 Prospectus and as a result of subsequent acquisitions.

Offer Share

This Prospectus also relates to the issue of one ordinary fully paid share at an issue price of one dollar ($1.00). That issue and the inclusion of information in relation to that share is restricted to one applicant to be selected by the Board and is not made to, and may not be accepted by Shareholders generally.

The purpose of the inclusion of the Offer Share in this Prospectus is to provide adequate disclosure for those persons holding Placement Shares to enable those persons to sell their Placement Shares.

The Company will raise $1.00 from the issue of the Offer Share (before costs of the Offer). These funds will be applied initially towards the costs of the Offer with the balance to be applied towards working capital.

If no funds are raised as a result of this portion of the Offer, the Company has sufficient working capital to meet its obligations as set out in the January 2007 Prospectus and as a result of subsequent acquisitions.
