SHAREHOLDER SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
Eligible Shareholders can purchase up to \$5,000 of View Resources Limited Shares at a discount to market price
This is an important document that requires your immediate attention if you wish to participate in the Plan
OFFER CLOSES: 29 SEPTEMBER 2003

8 September 2003
Dear Shareholder
Invitation to Participate in the View Resources Shareholder Share Purchase Plan
The Board of Directors of View Resources Limited ("Company" or "View") has approved the introduction of a Shareholder Share Purchase Plan ("the Plan"). The Plan entitles Eligible Shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase up to \$5,000 worth of shares in the Company, free from all brokerage and commissions ("Offer").
As you may be aware, View recently completed a share placement to select investors, raising \$2.0 million of additional capital. This capital raised provided View with the initial capital to commence mining activities on the Company's Carnilya Hill tenements and to conduct further exploration on both the Carnilya Hill and Kambalda Mining tenements.
A Reward to Shareholders
A number of shareholders have expressed an interest in participating in future capital raisings. Accordingly and as part of our continuing relationship with shareholders, the Board is pleased to offer to all Eligible Shareholders an opportunity to participate in the Plan. Details of the Offer are set out in this letter and the enclosed Terms and Conditions together with an Entitlement & Application Form.
The Board has made a conscious decision to offer the same price under the Plan to our existing shareholders as has been offered under the recent capital raising. This is a way of rewarding shareholders for the support that has been clearly demonstrated in the market. The purchase price of the shares to be offered under the Plan is 4 cents per share. This represents a 24% discount to the weighted average market price of View shares traded on Australian Stock Exchange Limited ("ASX") during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to announcing the Offer on 27 August 2003. The price also represents a discount of approximately 40% to the weighted average market price of the shares traded on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of this letter.
Current Projects
As previously announced to the market over the last 5 months, the Company has achieved a number of milestones as it positions itself to commence mining activities in the next 3 months and capitalise on the continued strong growth of the world nickel price which has increased over 35% in the last 6 months:
Zone 29 Resource
Recoverable nickel ore of 78,300 tonnes at 3.14% to produce 2,463 tonnes of nickel. Project revenue of \$18.2m and project profitability of \$6.4m on a fully costed basis,
taking into account both capital and operating costs (nickel price of AUD\$5.85 per pound was utilised).
Carnilya Hill Mine
Following completion of an independent review of the mining and geological information (including drill hole and mining plan data and "hard copy" sections) available in respect of the Carnilya Hill Mine, the Company upgraded its previous resource estimate for the Carnilya Mine from 87,000 tonnes at 1.95% nickel (as previously estimated by WMC Resources Limited (WMC)) to 134,656 tonnes at 3.56% nickel for 4.796 tonnes of nickel (Indicated - 61.656t @ 3.04%Ni and Inferred -73,000T @ 4.00%Ni).
The results of the study confirmed the robust and relatively uniform nature of the nickel mineralisation within the Mine deposit. There is potential to increase the overall resource base with some limited extra peripheral and deeper drilling.
Nickel Oxide and Heads of Agreement with Anaconda Nickel Limited
The total resource of the Carnilya Mine includes an oxide component of 37,348 at 2.72%Ni. The Company has entered into a conditional heads of agreement for processing by Anaconda (at its Murrin Murrin treatment plant) of the nickel oxide ores derived from the Company's mining tenements. It was commented at the time that "the innovative agreement provides the Company with a realistic opportunity to extract value from a near surface resource which cannot be processed through traditional sulphide flotation methods".
Kambalda Mining Leases
The Company acquired the Kambalda Mining Leases which are approximately 100 $km2$ in size. The leases lie directly south of, and are adjacent to, the Company's existing Carnilya Hill leases. The Leases represent a significant opportunity for View to expand its tenement holding position from 20 $km2$ to 120 $km2$ in the prosperous Kambalda region. The Board believes that the consideration paid to a company in administration (\$240,000 with an attaching gold royalty) represented a low level entry price with significant potential upside for the Company's longer term presence in the region.
Geoff Chapman
The Company appointed Geoff Chapman as its General Manager - Geology. Geoff's most recent role has been at WMC Resources Limited ("WMC") Mt Keith Nickel Operations as Planning Manager and Geology Manage. Prior to Mt Keith, Geoff was the Senior Mine Geologist at WMC's Kambalda Nickel operations with responsibility for mine geology, mine exploration and ore reserve estimation at all operations including the Carnilya Hill Mine.
Nickel Production
The Company is well positioned to capitalise on the following:
- Secure nickel off-take agreement with WMC as part of the acquisition; $\Box$
- Low capital cost requirement; $\Box$
- No marketing risk; and $\Box$
- No milling or metallurgical risk with the nickel ore processed at WMC's $\Box$ Kambalda smelter.
Shareholders Eligible to Participate in the Plan
The right to participate in this offer under the Plan is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in View as at 5pm on the record date 5 September 2003 and whose registered address is in Australia or in any jurisdiction in which it is lawful for the Company to offer shares under the Plan ("Eligible Shareholders").
Price of View Shares under the Offer
The purchase price of the new shares being offered under the Plan has been set at \$0.04 (4 cents) per share. This represents approximately a 24% discount to the weighted average market price of View shares traded on ASX during the 5 trading days prior to announcing the Offer.
Use of the Funds

$2.$ THE RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 1 - Ratification of Allotment and Issue Shares 2.1
2.1.1 Background
On 1 September 2003, the Company issued by way of a share placement a total of 50,000,000 Shares (representing 12.3% of the capital of the Company) without obtaining shareholder approval, at 4 cents per share, to raise \$2,000,000 (before costs of the issue). The share placement was completed with Hartleys Limited as Lead Broker.
2.1.2 Regulatory Requirements - ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of shares representing more than 15% of the issued capital of the company in any 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4.2 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities, those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder ratification of the issue of 50,000,000 Shares is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next 12 months without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
- $(a)$ the total number of Shares issued was 50,000,000;
- $(b)$ the Shares were issued for 4 cents per Share, raising \$2,000,000 in new capital;
- $(c)$ the allottees of the Shares were clients and associates of Hartleys Limited;
- $(d)$ the Shares issued ranked pari passu with the existing Shares on issue; and
- $(e)$ funds raised by the issue of Shares will be applied to the commencement of mining activities on the Company's Carnilya Hill tenements and to conduct further exploration on both the Carnilya Hill and Kambalda Mining tenements.
$2.2^{\circ}$ Resolution 2 -Proposed Issue of Shares pursuant to Share Purchase Plan
$2.2.1$ Background
On 27 August 2003 the Company announced an invitation to shareholders to participate in the proposed View Resources Limited Share Purchase Plan (Plan), whereby every eligible shareholder on the Record Date will have an opportunity to acquire up to a maximum of \$5,000 worth of Shares in the Company at a price of 4 cents per Share. This represents a significant discount (approximately 24%) to the weighted average market price of the Shares traded on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to announcing the offer under the Plan and a discount of approximately 40% to the weighted average market price of the Shares traded on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date of this Notice. The Company has dispatched details regarding the shares offered under the Plan to shareholders which accompany this Notice.
The Company will initially accept applications up to a total of 50,000,000 Shares (to raise \$2m, before expenses of the offer) under the Plan, with Shares to be issued in the order in which the applications are received. The Directors will, under the terms of the Plan, consider increasing the amount raised under the Plan (by up to a further 50,000,000 Shares) to accommodate shareholder demand reflected by shareholders responding promptly to the Offer
In the event that the initial 50,000,000 Shares available under the Plan are not fully subscribed by shareholders, the Company will seek to place the shortfall under the Plan with Hartleys Limited or as otherwise allocated by Directors (Shortfall). The Directors will not place any Shortfall in the event that the initial 50,000,000 Shares are subscribed for under the Plan. Only participants under the Plan will be allocated Shares over and above the initial 50,000,000 Shares in the event that there is sufficient shareholder demand.
$2.2.2$ Regulatory Requirements - ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company is required for an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 months.
Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is sought to exclude the maximum total of 100,000,000 Shares proposed to be issued by the Company pursuant to Resolution 2 from the calculation set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1:
- $(a)$ the maximum number of securities to be issued pursuant to Resolution 2 is 100,000,000 Shares;
- $(b)$ the Shares will be issued at an issue price 4 cents per Share to raise \$2m initially with provision to accept a further \$2m depending upon shareholder demand;
- $(c)$ the Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 2 will be issued on or about 7 October 2003;
- $(d)$ the proposed allottees of the Shares are not known at this stage but include shareholders of View on the Record Date for participation under the Plan;
- $(e)$ the terms of the Shares that will be issued pursuant to Resolution 2 will be on the same terms and conditions as the existing Shares on issue and the Shares will rank equally in all respects with all of the existing Shares on issue, including the right to participate in any dividend paid or declared after the date of issue; and
- $(f)$ fund raised under Resolution2 will be used to commence mining activities on the Company's Carnilya Hill tenements, to conduct further exploration on both the Carnilya Hill and Kambalda Mining tenements and for working capital.

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form
- $\mathbf{1}$ . A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
- $2.$ A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
- Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
- 2 Directors of the company; ۰
- a director and a company secretary of the company; or
- for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary - that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section $127(1)$ or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or $(2)$ as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
- Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.
-
- Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

Dear Shareholder
SALE OF MINORITY HOLDINGS
Attached to this letter is a letter from View Resources Limited ("View" or "Company") detailing the Company's recently adopted share purchase plan ("Plan"). The Plan offers you the opportunity to subscribe for additional shares in the Company (at a discount to market) in order to, amongst other things, top up your shareholding to at least a Minimum Shareholding (being a shareholding with a value of \$500).
In the event that you do not top up your shareholding to at least a Minimum Shareholding the Company intends to exercise its power to sell any shareholdings less than a Minimum Shareholding soon after completion of the Plan (which closes at 5.00pm on 29 September 2003).
Our records indicate that you currently hold less than a Minimum Shareholding of View shares ("Shares"). Accordingly, the Company wishes to implement the procedure outlined below, which accords with the Company's Constitution, in order to sell your Shares.
If you do not want the Company to sell your Shares, you must complete the attached Exemption Form or apply for Shares in accordance with the Plan.
$\ddagger$ . Purpose of the Sale
There is a cost to the Company associated with maintaining its members. These include printing of annual reports and notice of meeting, share registry and mailing costs, to name a few. The Company believes the cost of maintaining members that hold less than a Minimum Shareholding ("Minority Members") is often greater than the value of the shareholding and, accordingly, wishes to remove these costs.
$2.$ Procedure for the Sale
Your Shares, along with the Shares of all other Minority Members (provided the Minority Member has not exempted themselves from the Sale), will be offered for sale on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited.
If your Shares are CHESS Approved Securities held in uncertificated form, the Company will initiate a holding adjustment in order to move your Shares from the CHESS Holding to an Issuer Sponsored or Certificated Holding to effect the Sale.
The Price that Shares will be sold
The Company will not sell your Shares at a price less than the average of the last sale price of the Company's quoted Shares for each of the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date any offer to purchase your Shares is received by the Company. This is to ensure that you receive a fair market price for your Shares.
Proceeds from the sale of your Shares
All proceeds from the sale of your Shares shall be delivered to you by mail, to the same address as this letter, within 14 days of receipt by the Company of your Share Certificate (where applicable) or, if your Shares are Issuer sponsored, you will receive the proceeds from the sale within 14 days of settlement of the sale. The proceeds will be provided to you by way of a cheque.
If you are a joint holder of Shares, the proceeds from the Sale will be mailed to the address of the holder whose name is shown first in the Company's Register of Shareholders, and the cheque will be made payable to both holders jointly.
Costs of the Sale
The Company will bear all the costs associated with the sale of your Shares.
3. If you wish to keep your Shares
If you wish to keep your Shares, you should either apply for Shares under the Plan or complete the Exemption Form attached to this letter and return it to the following address:
View Resources Limited C/- Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box D182 PERTH WA 6840
The Exemption Form must be received no later than 23 October 2003 ("Expiry Date"). If you do not apply for Shares under the Plan or return the Exemption Form prior to the Expiry Date, the Company will assume that you consent to the sale of your Shares, and will proceed with the Sale in accordance with the procedure outlined above.
Authority to Sell your Shares 4.
The Australian Stock Exchange Listing Rules, Corporations Act 2001 and the Company's Constitution (which is a contract between shareholders and the Company) provide the Company with the legal capacity to sell your shares, subject to the Company following a specified process that includes forwarding to you this letter.
