Dear Shareholder
NON RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE TO RAISE \$7.58m
On 1 June 2005, View Resources Limited ("View or Company") lodged a Prospectus in relation to an underwritten pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue to shareholders of 37,893,630 Rights Shares at an issue price of \$0.20 each on the basis of three (3) Rights Share for every 8 (eight) Shares held at the Record Date, with one free attaching option exercisable at \$0.20 on or before 30 June 2008 for every Rights Share subscribed for ("Rights" Issue").
The funds raised will be applied to the feasibility study on the Cockburn Underground Project, repay existing debt, fund the final payment on Bronzewing and for working capital. Importantly the Rights Issue is significant for View as it has reached agreement whereby the current \$5.85m convertible note will be repaid through funds raised under the Rights Issue (\$2.2m) and a financing facility (5% interest) made available over the Company's existing cash backed environmental bonds (\$3.7m).
The timetable and important dates of the Issues are set below:
