Dear Sharcholder
GENERAL MEETING - 20 June 2003 at the Museum of Sydney
Please find enclosed Notice of General Meeting and Proxy form.
The meeting has been called to approve the prior allotment and issue of 27,477,324 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the company. The shares were principally those allotted to the many shareholders who took up their entitlements under the December 2002 Share Purchase Plan.
I trust you will vote in favour of this resolution.
After the formal meeting there will be a presentation by Christopher Towsey, General Manager Mining and Exploration, on developments at Charters Towers. In particular shareholders will have an opportunity to discuss exciting developments outlined in the recent Quarterly Activities Report.
On a lighter note, we are taking the opportunity to experience a different meeting venue. The Museum of Sydney is built on the site where in 1788 Governor Arthur Phillip built the first Government House - the home, offices and seat of authority for the first nine Governors of New South Wales.
I look forward to your continued support and seeing you on Friday the 20th of June.
Regards
Mark Lynch Managing Director Charters Towers Gold Mines Limited
