1 Letter from the Chairman

31 July 2012

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Havilah Resources, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to increase your investment in your Company as it prepares to commence its first gold mine at Portia in northeastern South Australia. Portia is the first in a pipeline of advanced projects from which Havilah aims to realise value through mining development and / or sale over the next few years. Havilah’s exploration programs, which have successfully added to the pipeline of development projects, will continue undiminished.

Funds raised in this rights issue will be mainly applied to the initial development tasks at Portia, which are being initiated by our recently appointed experienced mining engineer, who has taken on the role of Portia project manager. It is expected that work on the ground will commence in the near future subject to Department of Manufacturing, Industry, Trade, Resources and Energy of South Australia proposing acceptable operating approval conditions for the mine development and no other adverse unforeseen circumstances. Some funds will also be used to advance Havilah’s other projects and to continue with promising exploration programs.

With respect to the sale process currently running for the Kalkaroo copper-gold project, if a suitable offer eventuates it is expected to require Havilah shareholder approval. Any sale proceeds received would help develop Portia and would represent a potentially favourable outcome for those investors who maintain their interest in the Company through participation in the rights issue. Whilst the Kalkaroo sale process has generated significant interest, there is no certainty of a satisfactory outcome at this stage, and what form any offers might take.

Havilah has operated for ten years as a public company and is now at the point where it is ready to realise its ambition of becoming a gold producer. This is an opportunity for all shareholders to support their Company and join with directors in investing in its future mining production.

Yours faithfully

5 COMPANY INFORMATION

5.1 Key Projects

Portia Gold Mine Development (100%)

The Company has defined an Inferred JORC resource of 720,000 tonnes at 2.9 grams of gold per tonne, containing approximately 67,000 ounces of gold for its Portia gold project. The project lies within a granted mining lease (ML 6346) and the Department of Manufacturing, Industry, Trade, Resources and Energy of South Australia is presently assessing Havilah’s Plan for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation. Mining will be by open cut and processing will be via simple gravity methods which are expected to recover over 90% of the gold which occurs as relatively coarse free gold. Detailed mine planning has been carried out and it is Havilah’s intention to start this operation as soon as possible upon receipt of all approvals.

This mine is expected to operate for about 18 months and thereafter the focus is expected to shift to the Company’s other advanced copper and iron ore projects.

North Portia Copper-Gold Project (100%)

A potential open cut copper-gold mining project with a JORC Inferred resource of 11.3 million tonnes grading 0.89% copper, 0.44 g/t gold and 500 ppm molybdenum. It is located 400 metres north of the Portia Gold Project on the same mining lease.

Kalkaroo Copper-Gold Project (100%)

A proposed open cut copper-gold mine project with the following resources:

  • Gold Cap: 18.7Mt @ 0.74 g/t Au JORC Measured resource

  • Main deposit: 124.5Mt @ 0.50% Cu & 0.39g/t Au JORC Measured + Indicated resource.

A feasibility study has indicated that the project is bankable. Havilah recently announced its intention to seek offers for a full or partial sale of this asset.

A sale process is currently being undertaken on the Kalkaroo Project. This is in progress and there is no guarantee that this will result in a sale.

Mutooroo Copper-Cobalt Project (100%)

A copper-cobalt-sulphur project located about 60 km west of Broken Hill, containing a JORC Indicated and Inferred resource of 13.1 million tonnes of 1.48% copper plus substantial cobalt and sulphur. This is initially planned as an open cut mine, which later in its life would move to underground mining.

Wilkins Copper-Gold Prospect (100%)

A new discovery of primary copper-gold mineralisation has been made on EL 3895 near Cutana, adjacent to the Barrier Highway and 50 km south of Kalkaroo. The first laboratory assays have been received and show a mineralised shear about 100m wide and probably extending over several kilometres of strike. Recent Havilah drillhole WKRC003 intersected 99m at 0.27% copper and 0.25 grams per tonne of gold.

Maldorky Iron Ore Project (100%)

An iron ore project with a JORC Indicated resource of 147 million tonnes of iron ore grading 30.1% iron. It is proposed to upgrade the mined ore to a saleable product containing at least 60% iron. This project has the development advantages of minimal overburden and closeness to the Transcontinental Railway (providing access to the coastal port at Adelaide). It is located in the southern part of EL 3895.

Grants Iron Ore Project (Joint Venture with Exco/Polymetals, Havilah earning 75% in EL 4200 for Iron Ore)

Iron ore, geologically similar to Maldorky, occurs at the Grants Iron Ore Project area. Havilah has discovered shallow dipping iron ore with minimal cover on both its own tenement (EL3895 – Havilah 100%) and adjacent EL 4200 (Havilah earning 75% from Exco-Polymetals). The project area lies only a few km south of the main railway line .

Lilydale Iron Ore Project (100%)

An iron ore project with over 25 kilometres of strike of iron ore formations, which has yet to be evaluated by resource drilling. Initial reconnaissance drilling results are encouraging with preliminary metallurgy test work indicating that a high quality iron ore product is potentially recoverable.

Please refer to our website at www.havilah-resources.com.au and our ASX releases for more information.

The decision to proceed with these projects depends on the approval and permit terms and the economic conditions prevailing at that time.

5.2 Exploration risk

The other mineral tenements of the Company are in various stages of exploration and planning. Because mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings, there can be no assurance that exploration of these other or any future tenements will result in the discovery or development of an economic deposit. If exploration is successful, there will be additional costs and processes involved in moving to the development phase. Exploration and development costs are based on estimates and assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Such differences may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

6 EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON THE COMPANY

Other than as stated in this Prospectus, the Company is not aware of any material matter or circumstance that would impact on the activities and prospects of the Company and be relevant to assist investors or their professional advisors making an informed assessment of relevant matters.

At the date of the Offer the Company had 108,562,273 fully paid ordinary shares (ASX code: HAV) 20,118,625 listed Options (ASX code: HAVO) as well as 1,803,451 Listed Options (ASX Code: HAVOA) issued recently as part of the takeover of Curnamona Energy Ltd. Also there are 12,412,000 unlisted Options on issue. The number of shares includes 7, 223,211 ordinary Shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of the issued capital of Curnamona Energy Limited by way of an off-market takeover which was completed on the 27[th] July 2012.

Under the Offer, up to approximately 10,856,227 New Shares and approximately 10,856,227 New Options are available for issue and will be issued if the Offer is fully subscribed (either by Shareholders accepting the Offer under this Prospectus or pursuant to the Directors' discretion to place any Shortfall referred to in Section 3.11 of this Prospectus).

Upon completion of the Issue and assuming the Offer is fully subscribed and that none of the current Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the issued capital of the Company will comprise approximately 119,418,500 ordinary shares, 32,778,303 Options (listed) and 12,412,000 Options (unlisted) which have exercise prices ranging from $0.98 to $2.25 and various expiry dates. The listed Options are made up of 20,118,625 existing Options (HAVO) which have an exercise price of 50 cents and an expiry date of 31 October 2013 and 1,803,451 Options (HAVOA) with an exercise price of 75 cents and an expiry date of 30 November 2012 and the 10,856,227 New Options issued pursuant to this Offer, with an exercise price of $1.00 and an expiry date of 30 August 2013.

Before expenses of the Offer, the proceeds from the Issue of New Shares and attaching New Options (excluding any proceeds from the exercise of the New Options) will increase cash reserves by approximately $7,056,548. These funds will be applied to the general working capital requirements of the Company, specifically towards the Company's mining and exploration projects as set out in Sections 3.1 and 5 of this Prospectus. Expenses are estimated at $150,000.

Should any existing options be exercised prior to the Record Date, the funds raised by the issue of New Shares arising from those shares issued via the exercise of options will be added to our working capital and these additional funds used from Havilah’s various projects and administrative costs.

Effect on capital structure

The following table sets out the Company’s current capital structure and its fully diluted capital structure immediately following the successful completion of the Offers, assuming that:

  • All of the Entitlements are taken up;

  • None of the options are exercised prior to the Record Date.

Share capital
Ordinary shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus 108,562,273
Plus: New Shares issued under the Rights Issue 10,856,227
Non-diluted share capital on completion of Rights Issue 119,418,500
Quoted and unquoted options on issue 34,334,076
Plus: Attaching Options issued under Rights Issue 10,856,227
Fully diluted share capital on completion of Offer 164,608,804

The Company's actual position on completion of the Offer may differ from the position illustrated in the pro-forma capital structure table above.

If the Offers are not fully subscribed, fewer New Shares and New Options will be issued and there will be fewer Shares on issue following completion of the Offers than shown in the table above. The Company will announce to ASX the actual number of New Shares and New Options to be issued under the Offers after the Closing Date.

13

Effect on shareholdings

If you exercise your full Entitlement under the Rights Issue you will not be diluted. If you do not exercise your full Entitlement you will be diluted.

The effect of the Offer on the control of the Company will depend upon a number of factors, including:

  • the level of Shareholder participation (including both the taking up of Entitlements and applications for Additional Shares); and

  • which Shareholders participate; and

If every Shareholder were to take up their full Entitlement, there would be a minimal effect on the control of the Company, as the Rights Issue is made pro-rata and, in that case, there would not be any scope for any Shareholder to apply for Additional Shares under the Offer and there would be no shortfall.

The potential effect of the Offer on the shareholdings in the Company assuming the Offer is fully subscribed, no options are exercised and no further securities are issued, can be summarised as follows:

Ordinary shares (undiluted) Number % Equity
Existing Shares 108,562,273 90.1%
New Shares* 10,856,227 9.1%
Total Shares on being fully subscribed 119,418,500 100.0%
Ordinary shares (fully diluted) Number % Equity
Existing Shares 108,562,273 66.0%
Existing Options 34,334,076 20.8%
New Shares* 10,856,227 6.6%
Attaching Options* 10,856,227 6.6%
Total Shares on being fully subscribed 164,608,804 100.0%

*Due to rounding of Entitlements the exact maximum number of New Shares and attaching New Options that may be issued under the Offer will not be known until the Record Date.

  • (f) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Havilah Shares, the number of Havilah Shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Havilah Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (g) If Havilah makes a rights issue (other than a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of Options on issue will be reduced according to the following formula:

9 RISK FACTORS

9.1 Introduction

An overview of the key risks that may have a material adverse impact upon the future performance of Havilah and the value of Havilah Shares are described in this Bidder’s Statement and include those risks set out in this Section. The risks identified in this Section are not exhaustive. Havilah gives no assurances or guarantees of future performance or profitability, or payment of dividends.

Additionally Havilah gives no assurances or guarantees that the risks set out in this document will not change. There may be other material risks which are not disclosed in this document because they were not known by Havilah or were not considered to be material at the date of this Prospectus.

Some of the risks may be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls. However, many risks that may affect Havilah are outside the control of Havilah and its subsidiaries.

This Section does not take into account the investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs of individual Shareholders. It is important that Shareholders carefully read this Prospectus in its entirety (particularly the risks set out in this Section, consider their personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek independent professional advice before deciding whether to subscribe for New Shares.

9.2 Specific risk factors that affect Havilah Resources

Set out below are some of the key risks that have been identified as potentially affecting the performance of Havilah to pay dividends and the value of Havilah shares. The past performance of Havilah is not necessarily representative of the future performance of Havilah or the value of Havilah Shares.

(a) Metal prices

Any future earnings of the Havilah will be significantly affected by local and worldwide metal prices. Low metal prices will have a materially adverse effect on Havilah. It is not possible to accurately predict future movements in metal prices particularly in the current uncertain economic environment.

(b) Production and operation risks

Mining activities carry an inherent degree of risk. Various production and operational factors could affect the success of Havilah. These include unanticipated mining or geological conditions, climatic conditions, environmental issues, exploration results, equipment failures, transport interruptions, processing inputs, industrial disputes, cost overruns and other general operating risks. Havilah Shareholders and Havilah Listed Optionholders will be exposed to production and operational risks associated with Havilah’s business.

Certain approvals (whether regulatory, environmental or otherwise) may be needed in connection with the operations of the Havilah and there is a risk that these approvals will not be given, or will be delayed.

(c) Development Consents

There is a risk that additional development consents will be required. There is also a risk that Havilah will not be able to satisfy the requirements to obtain these development consents or will be able to obtain such consents only on onerous terms and conditions. Havilah may also incur material expenses and costs in seeking and obtaining such consents.

(d) Developments

Development projects may incur further costs than currently anticipated or may be delayed due to the need to obtain regulatory approvals or licenses or due to problems with contractors or suppliers, financing issues or accidents during construction or commissioning of mines.

(e) Timing delays

There is a risk that Havilah will not achieve its financial and strategic goals due to delays or difficulties occurring during the start-up or operation of its projects.

(f) Increased Financing costs

The net funds of Havilah may not be sufficient for expenditure that may be required to execute the operations of Havilah or to expand its operations or projects or for other capital expenditure, further exploration or feasibility studies or otherwise in Havilah’s operations. Havilah may need to raise additional debt or equity funds in the future. There is no assurance that Havilah will be able to obtain additional debt or equity funding when required in the future, or that the terms associated with such funding will be acceptable to Havilah, particularly having regard to the current uncertain economic environment and the effect that metal prices may have on future production and earnings performance. This may have an adverse effect on Havilah’s financial results.

21

(g) Future Capital requirements

Havilah may require additional funds to carry out development or exploration of its new and existing projects. Its ability to raise new funds in an acceptable time frame and on acceptable terms, will depend on a number of factors including: the prospectivity of the new projects (if any); the results of exploration and subsequent feasibility studies; stock market and industry conditions; and the price of relevant commodities.

(h) Hedging risk

Havilah does not currently use hedging contracts to reduce the impact of future fluctuations on exposures such as the price of metals and currency exchange rates. However, hedging contracts entered into in the future may negatively impact the profitability of Havilah if unanticipated changes in metal prices or exchange rates occur. In the current uncertain economic environment such changes have been occurring, and may continue to occur, frequently.

(i) Accounting

Havilah will be required to perform a fair value assessment of all of Curnamona’s assets and liabilities following the acquisition by Havilah of all Curnamona Shares and Listed Options. This assessment may result in increased depreciation and amortisation charges. These charges may be substantially greater than those that would exist in Havilah and Curnamona as separate businesses.

(j) Re-rating

Post Merger, Havilah may not achieve an improved re-rating of its share price or an improved credit profile. Due to the occurrence of adverse changes in the business or unforeseen circumstances, Havilah Shares may decline in value.

(k) Regulatory and legislative risks

Any changes in the laws and regulations under which the Merged Group operates may adversely impact Havilah’s activities, planned projects and financial results. These laws and regulations include mining and exploration-related laws, laws requiring permits and licences, environmental regulations and health and safety laws and regulations.

(l) Environment

Mining and exploration activities are strictly regulated by environmental legislation and government authorities. There is a risk that environmental regulation may prevent or impede Havilah’s activities. It is possible that environmental approvals for Havilah’s projects are not granted or are delayed. If this occurred it may materially affect Havilah’s earnings.

(m) Litigation

Havilah may be subject to litigation and other claims based on the conduct of Havilah and Curnamona that occurred prior to the acquisition by Havilah.

(n) Resource and Reserve estimates

Havilah has made estimates of its resources based on relevant reporting codes, where required, and judgments based on knowledge, skills and industry experience. However, there is no guarantee that estimates will prove to be accurate. Actual mining results may materially differ from estimates due to further findings and results not previously known or fluctuations in operating costs, exchange rates and metal prices.

(o) Insurance

Havilah will have various insurances covering its business. However, certain risks are not covered by insurance due to limitations or exclusions in insurance policies or because Havilah will have decided not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or for other reasons. Mining accidents, cave-ins, business interruption, compensation claims, environmental effects, fires, floods earthquakes and various other events may not be adequately covered by insurance. Such insurance could significantly increase the costs of Havilah.

(p) Health and safety

The businesses of Havilah and Curnamona are subject to strict health safety and safety laws and regulations. Havilah may become liable for past and current conduct of Havilah and its subsidiary, Curnamona which violates such laws and regulations. Penalties for breaching health and safety laws can be significant and include criminal penalties. Victims of workplace accidents may also commence civil proceedings against Havilah. These events might not be insured by Havilah or may be uninsurable. In addition, any changes in health and safety laws and regulations may increase compliance costs for Havilah. Such an event would negatively impact the financial results of Havilah.

22

(q) Native title

Havilah’s and Curnamona’s mineral tenements and other entitlements to property and minerals may be affected by native title claims, unregistered agreements, transfers or unknown defects in title. Native title claims and Aboriginal heritage issues may have a material adverse impact on the Merged Group’s activities and may hinder or prevent its mining and exploration activities.

(r) Past transactions

Previous transactions undertaken by either Havilah or Curnamona which involved the acquisition or disposal of assets may continue to bear risks associated with the possibility of warranty or other claims in connection with such transactions to which it was a party.

(s)

Competition

Upon entry into production, Havilah will be subject to competition from other miners. Competitors include current miners and future entrants into the market. Other companies may have competitive advantages such as new technology and new production processes. Havilah may be unable to successfully compete and may suffer material adverse consequences such as loss of market share and customers.

(t) Counterparty risk

There is a risk, which is higher in the current uncertain economic environment, that contracts and other arrangements to which Havilah and Curnamona are party and obtain a benefit will not be performed by the relevant counterparties if those counterparties become insolvent or are otherwise unable to perform their obligations.
