Pursuant to the Rights Issue, the Company will issue up to approximately 173,306,075 New Shares at an issue price of $0.018 each to raise a maximum of approximately $3.12 million (before expenses of the issue).

Dear Shareholder,
Renounceable Rights Issue – notification to ineligible shareholders
On 9 September 2011, Midas Resources Limited ( Company ) lodged a prospectus ( Prospectus ) with ASIC and subsequently with ASX for a renounceable pro rata rights issue ( Rights Issue ) of eight (8) fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) for every fifteen (15) fully paid ordinary shares held as at 5:00pm (WST) on 23 September 2011 to shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ). Pursuant to the Rights Issue, the Company will issue up to approximately 173,306,075 New Shares at an issue price of $0.018 each to raise a maximum of approximately $3.12 million (before expenses of the issue).
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Rights Issue to shareholders with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand ( Non-Participating Shareholders ), having regard to the number of such shareholders, their holdings and the compliance costs required to offer the New Shares under the Rights Issue to those shareholders.
Unfortunately, since you are a Non-Participating Shareholder, no offer is being made to you and the Prospectus prepared by the Company in relation to the Rights Issue will not be sent to you. The Company has appointed Patersons Securities Limited ( Patersons ) as nominee to sell all NonParticipating Shareholders' rights. Any such sale will be at a price and be conducted in a manner that Patersons will determine in its absolute discretion.
The proceeds of sale (in Australian dollars) (if any) will be distributed to the Non-Participating Shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings as at the record date (after deducting the costs of the sale and the distribution of the proceeds).
This letter is not an offer to issue New Shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Shares. You do not have to take any further action in relation to the Rights Issue.
Should you have any questions regarding the Rights Issue you may contact the Company on (08) 9388 2211.
Yours faithfully
