SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

Dear Fellow Shareholder

On 28 February 2011, the Directors of ERO Mining Limited ("ERO") announced a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”). The SPP is available to all eligible shareholders who are on the share register on the record date, 25 February 2011. Please find enclosed the SPP offer document and your personalised application form. Please read these documents carefully and seek advice from your investment or other professional adviser prior to any decision being made to apply for shares.

The SPP will raise a maximum of $2.97 million (before costs) through the issue of a maximum of 99 million new fully paid ordinary shares in ERO Mining ("New Ordinary Shares") at 3 cents per share.

There is a maximum of $2.97 million of shares available under the SPP. Accordingly, applications will be accepted on a first come, first accepted basis, or scaled back on a pro-rata basis, as the Company’s directors decide. Each offer is made on the same terms and conditions.

ERO intends to apply capital raised through the SPP towards a major two-State drilling and exploration campaign at its key lithium, uranium and gold exploration projects in South Australia and the Northern Territory. A lithium and uranium push in SA will focus on two areas: Wertaloona, northeast of Port Augusta; and Padthaway Ridge in the State’s South East. The NT uranium and gold drive is targeting work on the Company’s Suplejack and Talbot North prospects.

Each shareholder eligible to participate in the SPP will be entitled to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares to the value of either $15,000 (500,000 shares), $4,999.98 (166,666 shares) or $2,499.99 (83,333 shares) in the capital of the Company. The cost of 3 cents per share is at a discount of approximately 13% from the average closing price of Shares traded on the ASX over the last five days on which the stock traded up to and including 25 February 2011, being the last day of trading before the SPP was announced.

SPP Timetable

Opening Date for receipt of Applications Monday 7 March 2011
Closing Date for receipt of Applications Friday 25 March 2011
Date of Issue of Shares Tuesday 29 March 2011
Anticipated Date of Quotation of Shares Thursday 31 March 2011

Immediately following the SPP, the Company will undertake a bonus issue of options to shareholders on the basis of 1 free option for every 4 shares held. The bonus options, at an exercise price of 6 cents, expiring 28 September 2012, will be allotted after the issue of the additional SPP shares, therefore eligible shareholders who subscribe for additional shares under the SPP will be entitled to the increased number of free options.

The Board of ERO are excited by the prospects for growth of the Company over the coming twelve months and strongly recommend the SPP to all of our loyal shareholders.

Yours faithfully
