Dear Shareholder

Rights Issue

On 15 June 2011, ERO Mining Limited (“ERO”) announced a pro rata one-for-five non-renounceable rights issue (“Rights Issue”).

The Rights Issue seeks to raise approximately $1.88 million (before costs) through the issue of approximately 69.7 million new fully paid ordinary shares in ERO.

Use of Funds

The net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used for working capital purposes and to fund exploration and development including the following:

  • Acceleration of the Wertaloona Lithium Project (100% ERO) beyond the first round of drilling of two fully cored reference drillholes. Samples of the first drillhole (WT2) have been submitted to Genalysis Intertek in Adelaide SA and test results are expected during July 2011.

  • Advancing the Tanami Project (100% ERO) northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory where high priority gold and uranium exploration targets have been identified within the recently granted (EL26625) Suplejack and Talbots tenements. Maiden field work is scheduled to commence in July 2011 with a field crew mobilised to the area to conduct soil and rock chip sampling programs.

Details of the Rights Issue

ERO shareholders with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand at 7.00 pm (Adelaide time) on 30 June 2011 (“Record Date”) will be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue (“Eligible Shareholders”). All other overseas registered shareholders will not be eligible to participate.

Each Eligible Shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for one new ordinary share in the capital of ERO for every five existing ordinary shares registered in their name on the Record Date. The new ordinary shares will be issued at a cost of 2.7 cents per share.
