Dear Shannon

I refer to your letter dated 21 March 2013 in relation to the Appendix 3y for Mr Anthony Hamilton lodged on 20 March 2013 and respond as follows:

The Appendix 3y was lodged late due to an oversight on the part of the relevant company $\mathbf{1}$ director. The oversight was confirmed when the Company reconciled the Directors' shareholdings when preparing a proposed Notice of Meeting.

$\overline{2}$ Under the Company's corporate governance policy all Directors must inform the Company Secretary via email as soon as possible following the acquisition or sale of securities in the Company.

3 The Company believes that its current policies are adequate for Compliance with Listing Rule 3.19B. The Directors have been notified in writing and verbally advised of their obligations regarding 'notifiable interests of a Director'.

Kind regards

Damon Sweeny Company Secretary

Dear Damon

Leopard Resources NL (the "Company")

We refer to the following:

• $1.$ The Company's announcement lodged with ASX Ltd ("ASX") on 20 March 2013 regarding a change of director's interest notice for Mr Anthony Hamilton ("Appendix 3Y").
• $2.$ Listing rule 3.19A which requires an entity to tell ASX the following:
• 3.19A.1 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the following times:
  • On the date that the entity is admitted to the official list.
  • On the date that a director is appointed.

The entity must complete an Appendix 3X and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the entity's admission or a director's appointment.

• 3.19A.2 A change to a notifiable interest of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust). The entity must complete an Appendix 3Y and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the change occurs.
• 3.19A.3 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the date that the director ceases to be a director. The entity must complete an Appendix 3Z and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the director ceases to be a director.
• 1. Listing rule 3.19B which states as follows.

An entity must make such arrangements as are necessary with a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) to ensure that the director discloses to the entity all the information required by the entity to give ASX completed Appendices 3X, 3Y and 3Z within the time period allowed by listing rule 3.19.A. The entity must enforce the arrangements with the director.

$\overline{4}$ . The Companies Update dated 27 June 2008, reminding listed entities of their obligation to notify ASX within 5 business days of the notifiable interests in securities held by each director and outlining the action that ASX would take in relation to breaches of listings rules 3,19A and 3,19B.

As the Appendix 3Y indicates that changes to Mr Hamilton's notifiable interest occurred on 9 October 2012 and 31 December 2012 respectively, the Appendix 3Y should have been lodged with the ASX by 16 October 2012 and 8 January 2013 respectively. As the Appendix 3Y was lodged on 20 March 2013, it appears that the Company may be in breach of listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.

Please note that ASX is required to record details of breaches of the listing rules by listed companies for its reporting requirements.

ASX reminds the Company of its contract with ASX to comply with the listing rules. In the circumstances ASX considers that it is appropriate that the Company make necessary arrangements to ensure there is not a reoccurrence of a breach of the listing rules.

Having regard to listing rules 3.19A and 3.19B and Guidance Note 22: "Director Disclosure of Interests and Transactions in Securities - Obligations of Listed Entities", we ask that you answer each of the following questions.

• 1. Please explain why the Appendix 3Y was lodged late.
• $\overline{2}$ . What arrangements does the Company have in place with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under listing rule 3.19A?
• 3 If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does the Company intend to take to ensure compliance with listing rule 3.19B?

Your response should be sent to me by e-mail to Shannon.nicholson@asx.com.au or by facsimile on facsimile number (08) 9221 2020. It should not be sent to the Company Announcements Office.

A response is requested as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 4:00 PM WST on 25 March 2013.

Under listing rule 18.7A, a copy of this query and your response will be released to the market, so your response should be in a form suitable for release and must separately address each of the questions asked. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me immediately.

Yours sincerely
