Dear Shareholder
ERO MINING LIMITED ANNOUNCES RIGHTS ISSUE
The Manager Companies Announcements Office Australian Securities exchange
20 Bridge Street SYDneY nSW 2000
eRO Mining Limited (Company) is pleased to announce a 1 for 5 non renounceable rights issue at $0.027 per share to raise approximately $1.88 million (before costs) (Rights Issue).
existing shareholders will be offered the opportunity to purchase one (1) new share for every five (5) shares held by them as at the record date of 30 june 2011 at an issue price of $0.027 per share. The Rights Issue price reflects an approximately 15% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares, for the 30-day period ending on 14 june 2011.
The Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the shares issued pursuant to the Rights Issue.
Based on the Company’s current issued capital, the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Rights Issue is approximately 69.7 million.
The funds raised from the Rights Issue will be used for working capital purposes and to fund exploration.
The fund raising initiative provides all shareholders of the Company an opportunity to acquire additional shares at an attractive discount to current market prices and proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used primarily to fund eRO’s ongoing project development and exploration, including:
-
Acceleration of the Wertaloona Lithium Project (100% eRO) beyond the first round of drilling of two fully cored reference drillholes. Samples for 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) north west 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 mobilized to the area to conduct soil and rock chip sampling programs.
The proposed timetable for the Rights Issue is as follows:

ERO Mining Limited 1
Subject to the Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to extend the Closing Date for the offer at their discretion. Should this occur, the extension will have a consequential effect on the anticipated date if issue for the new securities. These dates are indicative only.
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia or new Zealand, having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the new shares they would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.
existing option holders will need to exercise their options and be a registered holder of shares on 30 june 2011 if they wish to receive an entitlement to participate in the Rights Issue.
If after the Closing Date all allotted shares have not been subscribed for by eligible shareholders, the Board of the Company intends to seek bids from shareholders, institutions and other prospective investors for the shares comprising the shortfall. Provision will be made for eligible shareholders to make application for additional shares beyond their entitlement on the entitlement and Acceptance Form, which is expected to be despatched on 6 july 2011.
Yours faithfully
