SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS
$\mathbf{1}$ . INTRODUCTION
This document is a Supplementary Prospectus in relation to Golden Cross Resources Ltd's Entitlements Offer and Shortfall Offer to Shareholders dated 18 November 2005. It supplements the Company's Prospectus dated 18 November 2005 ("Prospectus").
This Supplementary Prospectus should be read together with the Prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between this Supplementary Prospectus and the Prospectus, this Supplementary Prospectus prevails to the extent of the inconsistency. Defined terms used in this Supplementary Prospectus have the meaning given to them in the text of this Supplementary Prospectus or in the glossary on page 27 of the Prospectus.
This Supplementary Prospectus is dated 19 December 2005 and was lodged with ASIC on that date. Neither ASIC nor ASX is responsible for the contents of this Supplementary Prospectus.
$\overline{2}$ . UNDERWRITING
Westchester Financial Services Pty Limited ("Underwriter") has underwritten the final 50 million New Shares and 25 million Options ("Underwritten Securities") under the Entitlements Offer under the Prospectus in the amount of \$1.75 million ("Underwritten Amount") in consideration of an underwriting fee of 3% ("Underwriting Agreement").
The number of Shares to be issued in the event that all Shareholders take up their Entitlement under the Entitlements Offer is approximately 87.1 million. Shareholders have also been offered the right to apply for Shortfall Shares, the allotment of which is subject to the discretion of the Directors. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, if the total number of New Shares applied for under the Entitlements Offer plus the number of New Shares allotted under Shareholder Shortfall Applications exceeds 37.1 million, the Company will, subject to Shareholder approval, place additional Shares (and accompanying Options) with the sub-underwriters, in the amount equal to the excess, together with the remaining shortfall under the Offers, if any.

The Underwritten Securities are fully sub-underwritten. The Underwriting Agreement is conditional upon the performance of the sub-underwriters of their obligations under the subunderwriting deeds.
In the event that the Entitlements Offer (including Shares allotted under Shareholder Shortfall Applications, but excluding any take-up by the Underwriter) is fully subscribed in the amount of approximately \$3 million, the issue of the Underwritten Securities will result in an additional 50 million Shares and 25 million Options being issued, and an additional \$1.75 million being raised, for a total of approximately \$4.8 million.
The terms of the Underwriting Agreement are summarised in section 10.
3. EXTENSION OF OFFER PERIOD
In order to give Shareholders time to consider details of the underwriting, the Directors resolved to extend the Closing Date of the Entitlements Offer and Shortfall Offer until 5.00 pm Sydney Time on Monday 16 January 2006.

Any Shareholder who has accepted the Entitlements Offer or made an application under the Shortfall Offer and would like to withdraw their acceptance or application may, at any time before 5.00 pm Sydney Time on Tuesday 3 January 2006, withdraw their acceptance or application and receive a refund of the subscription price of \$0.035 per share applied for ("Subscription Price Refund").

APPENDIX
ANNOUNCEMENT TO ASX DATED 13 DECEMBER 2005
High grade drill hole at Copper Hill
GCR has received results from diamond drill hole GCHR64 at its 100%-owned Copper Hill gold-copper porphyry project near Molong, NSW. Results are tabulated below and represent some of the highest grade gold-copper mineralisation encountered in the Copper Hill area to date. The hole is located in the newly discovered Saddle area east of the Western Zone.
Individual 2m samples in hole 64 returned up to 15.2 g/t gold and 3.06% copper.
Stockwork and sheeted quartz veins containing chalcopyrite and bornite mineralisation host highest grades.

Copper Hill, Significant Drill Results, December 2005
Notes:
• The hole was drilled at a declination of 60 degrees.
• Results represent the weight average of 2m downhole samples of quarter HQ diamond core. Core was cut using a core saw and core recovery was 99%.
$\bullet$ EOH = End of hole
Hole 64 was collared about 4m north of RC hole GCHR58 and was intended to be drilled parallel to it. The diamond hole was designed as a twin hole to assess any variation in grades between RC and diamond drilling, and to provide material for metallurgical testwork. The original hole, GCHR58, returned 86m at 1.32 g/t gold and 0.65% copper. Two distinctive zones of gold-copper mineralisation are recognised in both holes, one from approximately 82m to 104m and the other from approximately 114m to 150m. The same intervals for hole 58, released to ASX on 1 November 2005, are tabulated below for comparison and show lower grades than the diamond hole.

| and | 114 | 36 | 1.94 | 0.80 |
Downhole surveys indicate that the diamond drill hole (GCHR64), drilled beneath GCHR58, deviated from hole 58 such that the deep, high grade intersection encountered from 114m was between 16m and 20m beneath hole 58 and 5m to 10m to the west. Because of this deviation, at this time GCR does not consider hole 64 to be a representative twin of hole 58 and the variability of the grade may be attributable to geological variation between the holes. More detailed drill hole surveys and re-assays are being undertaken.

Hole GCHR64 is considered by GCR to be important as it indicates that the Saddle area has considerable potential to host a large tonnage of higher grade resources relatively close to surface. The deeper high grade zone in the hole is only 100m below surface.
Step-out drilling has now been initiated, with holes 40m above and below hole 64. The diamond tails planned on holes GCHR59 and 61 have been postponed temporarily.
Results for hole 69, drilled to 280m downhole, are expected during January 2006.
