Dear Eligible Shareholder
On 24 November 2009, Bass Metals Ltd ( Company ) announced a non-renounceable rights issue ( Rights Issue ) under which shareholders registered in Australia and New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ) will be offered two (2) fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) for every nine (9) Shares held at 5.00pm (WST) on 2 December 2009 ( Record Date ) at an issue price of 23 cents per New Share, with any fractional entitlements being rounded up.
The number of New Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue, if fully subscribed, will be approximately 23,077,512. The New Shares will rank equally with all other Shares of the Company from the date of allotment. The Company will apply to have the New Shares quoted on ASX.
Eligible Shareholders, other than related parties of the Company, will be given the right to participate in any shortfall under the Rights Issue.

The Directors also reserve the right to place any shortfall to parties, other than related parties of the Company, within three months of the close of the Rights Issue.

Dear Ineligible Shareholder
On 24 November 2009, Bass Metals Ltd ( Company ) announced a non-renounceable rights issue ( Rights Issue ) under which shareholders registered in Australia and New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ) will be offered two (2) fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) for every nine (9) Shares held at 5.00pm (WST) on 2 December 2009 ( Record Date ) at an issue price of 23 cents per New Share, with any fractional entitlements being rounded up.
The number of New Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue, if fully subscribed, will be approximately 23,077,512. The New Shares will rank equally with all other Shares of the Company from the date of allotment. The Company will apply to have the New Shares quoted on ASX.
Eligible Shareholders, other than related parties of the Company, will be given the right to participate in any shortfall under the Rights Issue. Allocation of any shortfall will be at the discretion of the Directors. The Directors also reserve the right to place any shortfall to parties, other than related parties of the Company, within three months of the close of the Rights Issue.
The Rights Issue will raise up to approximately $5.3 million before costs. The funds will be used as additional working capital primarily in relation to ongoing exploration, evaluation and development of the Company’s projects, particularly Fossey Zone, Que River and Hellyer.
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the offer to shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand having regard to:
-
the small number of shareholders with addresses outside these countries;
-
the number and value of the shares they hold; and
-
the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of the regulatory authorities in each of the countries concerned.
We regret that the Rights Issue is therefore not extended to you and you will not receive a copy of the Offer Document and Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
No action has been taken to register or qualify the Offer Document and Entitlement and Acceptance Form, the Rights Issue, or the New Shares or to otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside of Australia and New Zealand. The Company has not appointed a nominee to sell securities which would have otherwise been issued to you if you had accepted the offer.
If you have any questions, please contact Michael Rosenstreich, Managing Director on (08) 9322 8044.
Yours sincerely
