Dear Nicholas.

REQUEST FOR TRADING HALT

We refer to your letter of 7 July 2008 concerning the Company's trading halt.

The Company can advise that as at today's date our share registry records show 50,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the name of Chimaera Capital Limited (not "Chimera" as stated in our previous letter). This represents approximately 6% of the total number of fully paid shares on issue.

The Company has taken action to investigate the details of the situation with Chimaera Capital Limited and is endeavouring to determine from the receiver appointed any action concerning these shares and any terms of the security arrangements including the right of sale (if any).

The Company has no knowledge of the extent of the margin lending facilities or the terms of any margin lending facility (if any) with shareholders.

The Company does not have any financing facility or arrangements with any entity in the Chimaera Group and is fully funded to undertake its current drilling and exploration programs.

The Company is not aware of any other relevant information in relation to the matters referred to in this letter but will provide updates as further information becomes available.

Should you wish to discuss the situation further, please contact me on (08) 9381 5819 during business hours.

Yours sincerely

SANTA COMPANY

Dear Luke

Richfield Group Limited - Trading Halt

The securities of Richfield Group Limited ("the Company") were placed in a Trading Halt at the Company's request today and will remain in pre open until the earlier of the commencement of trading on Wednesday, 9 July 2008, or when an announcement is released to the market.

Given the Company's reason for requesting the trading halt, namely the impact of the receivership of Primebroker Securities Limited ("Primbroker") on margin lending facilities between Primebroker and the Company's shareholders ("the Margin Lending Facilities"), ASX requests the following information.

$\mathbf{1}$ . Please provide the Company's best estimate of the total number of the Company's securities, and the percentage of the Company's issued share capital that this number represents, affected by the Margin Lending Facilities.

In the case of shares held by related parties, ASX expects that the Company should be able to confirm an exact number of shares so affected.

If the Company is of the understanding that a material number of securities held by shareholders other than related parties are affected by the Margin Lending Facilities, please provide the Company's best estimate of the number of shares held by these shareholders that are so affected.

Please indicate whether the Company has made reasonable enquiries, or undertaken any other analysis, and if so what, in order to ascertain whether these parties' shares are so affected.

If after having made reasonable enquiries the Company cannot estimate the total number of securities affected by the Margin Lending Facilities, please confirm this.

$\overline{2}$ . The names of any related party security holders who are parties to the Margin Lending Facilities with Primebroker, and the number of securities held by them affected by the Margin Lending Facilities.

• The key terms of the Margin Lending Facilities as understood by the Company, including whether, as a $\overline{3}$ . result of the appointment of receivers to Primebroker or otherwise, third parties currently have a right to dispose of the securities the subject of the Margin Lending Facilities.
• The current status of the Margin Lending Facilities and the effect of the Margin Lending Facilities (including $4.$ any effect arising by reason of the appointment of receivers to Primebroker) on the ownership and control of the securities subject to the Margin Lending Facilities.
• Any other information which the Company is aware of regarding the Margin Lending Facilities, and the 5. securities of the Company subject to the Margin Lending Facilities, which the Company considers would be material information in terms of listing rule 3.1.
• Confirmation that the Company has considered ASX Companies Update no 02/08 and has made all 6. necessary enquiries and disclosures as required by listing rule 3.1.

Unless the information is required immediately under listing rule 3.1, a response is requested as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 9.30am WST on Tuesday, 8 July 2008.

The response to this letter must be in a form suitable for release to the market and should be sent to me on facsimile number (08) 9221 2020. It should not be sent to the Company Announcements Office.

In the event that the Company does not make an announcement to the market before 9.30am WST on Wednesday, 9 July 2008, the Company's response to this letter will be released to the market. ASX would expect the trading halt to be lifted upon the release of a response to this letter, or an announcement addressing the above points concerning the impact of the Margin Lending Facilities, and that unless there is some other item of materially price sensitive information that the Company is not able immediately to make an announcement about, it would not be appropriate for the Company to request suspension of its securities from quotation.

If you have any concern about release of a response, please contact me immediately.

Yours sincerely
