ASX Announcement 31 October 2013

Glory Resources’ flagship Sapes Gold Project in Greece (“Sapes Project”) was originally acquired by Cape Lambert in June 2009 as part of its successful A$135,000,000 bid for the assets of CopperCo Limited. In August 2011, Cape Lambert became a cornerstone investor in Glory Resources by selling the Sapes Project to Glory Resources for a total consideration of A$32,500,000 in cash and 16,000,000 shares in Glory Resources.

Pursuant to the terms of the sale of the Sapes Project, Glory Resources must pay Cape Lambert an additional A$10,000,000 in cash or shares (at the election of Cape Lambert) on achievement of two key milestones relating to the Sapes Project (A$5,000,000 for each milestone), namely the granting of an operating permit and the sale of the first 1,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent (“Milestone Payments”).

A condition of the Takeover Offer is Cape Lambert agreeing to receive an upfront payment of A$6.5million in satisfaction of the Milestone Payments, to be paid at any time during the period starting at the end of the offer period and ending 20 business days after the end of the offer period. The Board of Cape Lambert, after due consideration, has formed the view that to de-risk these milestones at this time is more advantageous to the Company and its shareholders.

Acceptance of the Takeover Offer in respect of all the Glory Resources shares held by Cape Lambert will result in Cape Lambert receiving A$12,747,500 (based on A$0.17 per share) which includes the A$6.5million for the upfront milestone payments. Combined with the original cash consideration of A$32,500,000 in August 2011, Cape Lambert will have received cash proceeds of A$45,247,500 in respect to the sale of the Sapes project.

Upon successful completion of the Takeover Offer, Cape Lambert will have cash reserves of approximately A$32 million, plus A$6.2million upon the return of the environmental bonds associated with the Leichhardt project and Sapes project which is expected in the next few months.

Cape Lambert Executive Chairman, Mr Tony Sage said, “Cape Lambert welcomes the takeover offer from Eldorado to acquire the remaining 80.1% of Glory Resources shares on issue. Upon completion, we will have generated significant cash proceeds from our Glory investment, delivering considerable value for Cape Lambert shareholders.”

Yours faithfully Cape Lambert Resources Limited
