ICON RESOURCES COMPLETES OVERSUBSCRIBED PLACEMENT OF SHARES

Share Placement

Icon Resources Ltd (ASX Code: III) is pleased to announce that \$1,350,000 has been raised from the placement of 3,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of 45 cents. The placement, which was oversubscribed, was managed by ABN AMRO Morgans pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001. A copy of Appendix 3B as required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3 will be submitted at the time of allotment of the shares.

Share Purchase Plan

Icon Resources also announces a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) allowing all eligible Icon shareholders to purchase shares at 45 cents per share, the same price paid by participants in the placement.

This SPP entitles shareholders in Icon, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase up to \$5,000 worth of ordinary shares in the Company free of brokerage. The offer under this SPP will be for a maximum of \$2,795,000 based on the assumption that all of Icon's 559 eligible shareholders accept the offer for \$5,000.

The right to participate in the offer under this SPP is available exclusively to persons who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in Icon at 5:00pm on the record date of 8 June 2007 and whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand and any other jurisdiction in which it is lawful for the Company to offer shares under this SPP.

Use of Funds

The funds raised in the placement and SPP are being used to increase working capital to meet the costs incurred in exploration programmes including mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys and drilling, negotiation of joint ventures and project development work, including metallurgy on existing and new projects. Icon is currently drilling at its Tara Tin and Grieves Zinc projects.
