Dear Jabiru Shareholder

Compulsory acquisition of shares in Jabiru

As you may be aware, Independence Group NL (Independence) has a relevant interest in more than 90% of the shares in Jabiru Metals Limited (Jabiru). Accordingly, Independence will now acquire the remaining shares under the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Corporations Act. The compulsory acquisition will be on the same terms as the offer (ie consideration of 1 Independence share for every 8 of your Jabiru shares)

If you are a Foreign Shareholder, you will not be entitled to receive Independence shares. Instead, the Independence shares that would otherwise have been issued to you will instead be issued to a nominee who will then sell the shares. Foreign Shareholders will then be entitled to receive net proceeds received from that sale. See section 11.7 of Independence's bidder's statement, dated 23 February 2011, for further information.

According to our records, we did not receive an acceptance of our offer from you. Therefore, unless you have already posted your acceptance form, your shares will be subject to the compulsory acquisition procedure.

On completion of the compulsory acquisition procedure. Independence will issue to Jabiru the consideration for your Jabiru's shares. You will then be entitled to claim the consideration from Jabiru.

Jabiru will give notice to shareholders once it has received the consideration and advise as to how you may claim the consideration. Subject to the Corporations Act, this will occur in approximately 4 to 6 weeks at the earliest.

See also the enclosed copy of ASIC Form 6021 - Notice of compulsory acquisition following takeover bid, which sets out the compulsory acquisition procedure and your rights.

If you have any queries regarding the compulsory acquisition process, please contact Independence's information line on 1800 704 395 (within Australia) or +61 2 8256 3393 (outside Australia).

Yours sincerely
