LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder

Following a strategic review of the company’s two business undertakings Ezenet announced on 27 April 2009 it had reached agreement to sell its 100% owned subsidiary Ezestream Pty Ltd which carried on the business of providing digital movie services to the hospitality and mining industries; that sale was completed in May this year. This left the company with its remaining business activity of investing in the resources industry, either directly or indirectly.

The Company believes that with the world recovering from the financial crises that beset it over the last 18 months now is the right time to be investing in the resources sector. Over the last few months we have reviewed a number on investment opportunities, many of which required a greater capital input than was readily available to the Company. With this in mind the board decided it prudent to raise additional working capital to enable to it take advantage of investment opportunities as they arose. A share placement was made to Professional and Sophisticated investors (as defined in the Corporations Act) and the board is pleased offer New Shares to existing shareholders on the same terms as provided to those Professional and Sophisticated investors.

Funds raised from this issue will be used for general working capital and investments, either directly or indirectly, in the resources sector.

Yours faithfully

failure or plant breakdown; unanticipated
metallurgical problems which may affect
extraction costs; adverse weather conditions;
industrial and environmental accidents; industrial
disputes; and unexpected shortages or increases
in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant
and equipment.
Such changes may have
an adverse effect on the
operations of the Company
by increasing costs,
delaying activities, or
decreasing the value of
investments made in other
companies.
Environment The operations and proposed activities of the
Company and those companies in which it
invests are subject to regulation concerning the
environment. As with most exploration projects
and mining operations, those activities are
expected to have an impact on the environment,
particularly if advanced exploration or mine
development proceeds. It is the Company’s
intention to conduct its activities to the highest
standard of environmental obligation, including
compliance with all environmental laws.
The ability of the Company
to develop projects may be
limited or higher costs
imposed. Investments
made by the Company
may decrease in value.
Additional
requirements for
Capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on
numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s
ability to generate income from the sale of non-
core assets, the Company may require further
financing in addition to amounts raised under the
Entitlements Issue. Any additional equity
financing will dilute existing shareholdings. Debt

able to secure sales terms favourable to the
Company.

the laws may have an adverse effect on the
Company’s operations and financial
performance. The Directors cannot guarantee
that current regulations, policies and laws will not
change or impact onthe Company’s operations.
Such changes may have
an adverse effect on the
Company’s operations and
financial performance.

Company may impact significantly on the
Company, its performance and the price of its
shares, including:

inflation;
•currency fluctuations;
•interest rates;
•legislative changes;
•political decisions; and

industrial disruption.
The Company's future
income, asset values and
share price can be affected
by these factors and, in
particular, by the market
price for any metals and
other products that the
Company may produce
and sell.
STOCK MARKET
CONDITIONS
Some of the critical market risks which may affect
the operations and financial performance of the
Company (regardless of the Company’s

fluctuations in the commodity prices including
the copper, gold and silver price;

supply of and demand for copper, gold and
silver;

the prices for listed
securities and the prices
for the securities of mining
companies quoted on the
ASX, including the
Company.
These factors are beyond
the control of the Company
and the Company cannot
to any degrees of certainty,

The effect of the offer on control of the Company will be as follows;

  • (a) If all shareholders of the Company on the record date of 2 November 2009 take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue then the Rights Issue will have no effect on the Control of the Company.

  • (b) If the shareholders take up none or only some of their entitlements under the Rights Issue then the Underwriter will be required to take up their agreed underwritten amount. The Company has been advised by the Underwriter that the issue is sub-underwritten by several parties including Dr. Wolf Martinick, a director and substantial shareholder of Ezenet. The directors are satisfied that apart from Dr Wolf Martinick the sub-underwriters are unrelated and not associated with the Company. Therefore if no shareholder takes up its entitlement and the sub-underwriters subscribe for all the Shortfall Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue, there will be no effect on the control of the Company except as set out below.

  • (i) Dr Wolf Martinick, a director of Ezenet, has sub-underwritten 9,000,000 of the up to 24,122,342 shares being offered under the Rights Issue for no fee. At the date of this notice Dr Martinick and Associates have a relevant interest in 16,281,451 ordinary fully paid shares representing 16.8% of the 96,489,368 fully paid shares currently on issue.

If no shareholder takes up its entitlement and Dr Wolf Martinick is required to subscribe for all the Shortfall Shares sub-underwritten by him then Dr Wolf Martinick’s relevant interest in shares in Ezenet will increase to 25,281,451, representing 20.96% of the expanded share capital. In addition when Ezenet completes the placement of 23,500,000 shares the subject of a shareholders resolution being put at the Company’s Annual General Meeting to be held on 27 November 2009 Dr Wolf Martinick’s relevant interest will represent 17.54% of the fully paid shares then on issue.
