ABOUT CATALPA RESOURCES

Perth-based Catalpa Resources Limited (ASX: CAH) is on the cusp of a new phase of development, following the successful raising of more than A$106M in debt and equity to advance its A$92M Edna May (open-pit gold) Operations to production by July 2010.

As part of the Edna May finance facility, Catalpa has sold forward 352,316 ounces of gold at an exceptional price of A$1,557 per ounce.

Catalpa plans to utilise Edna May’s solid annual cash operating margins to fund its growth and become Australia’s next mid tier gold producer.

In keeping with this strategy, Catalpa and its largest shareholder, Lion Selection Limited (ASX:LST), signed a Merger Implementation Agreement in June 2009 to bring together Lion Selection’s 47% shareholding in Catalpa’s 100% owned and operated 100 000 ounces pa Edna May Gold Project in Western Australia and Lion Selection’s 30% stake in the Newcrest managed, 100 000 ounces pa Cracow Gold Project in Queensland, under Catalpa’s experienced management team. As part of the merger, Catalpa will also acquire a pre-emptive right over Newcrest’s 70% stake in Cracow.

Following implementation of the merger, expected in the December quarter 2009, Catalpa will be a cashflow positive gold producer from its 30% stake in Cracow. From mid 2010 when production commences at the Edna May Gold Project Catalpa will produce more than 130 000 ounces pa.

Catalpa has an experienced Board and management team that is committed to realising a timely production and cash flow profile at the Edna May Gold Project. With a buoyant outlook on the gold price, the Board believes that Catalpa Resources presents a sound investment opportunity with significant upside potential.

Catalpa Resources has adopted best practice standards across all its activities, including its social, health and safety, environmental management and corporate governance functions.
