Dear Overseas Shareholder

RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENTS ISSUE

As you may be aware, Mindax Limited (“Mindax”) is currently undertaking a pro-rata renounceable entitlements issue (“Rights Issue”) pursuant to a prospectus dated 31 October 2007 (“Prospectus”). The Company anticipates that the Rights Issue will close on 30 November 2007.

The Prospectus is for a renounceable rights issue to existing shareholders in Australia and New Zealand of up to 24,091,387 new shares and up to 12,045,693 attaching new options (assuming no existing options on issue are exercised prior to the record date) on the basis of two (2) new shares for every five (5) shares held on the record date on 12 November 2007 at an issue price of 10 cents per share, together with one (1) free attaching new option for every two (2) new shares issued. The Rights Issue will raise gross proceeds of approximately $2,409,139 if all the entitlements are taken up (excluding any shares that may be issued as a result of any options that are exercised prior to the record date).

The Company determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1 (a) of the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX Listing Rules”), that it would be unreasonable to make offers under the Prospectus to all countries outside of Australia and New Zealand. Accordingly, in compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 (b), the Company wishes to advise you that it will not be extending the Rights Issue to you.

The Company has appointed Patersons Securities Limited (“Nominee”), on normal commercial terms, as nominee for the excluded foreign shareholders to arrange the sale of the rights which would have been offered to the excluded shareholders. The Company will transfer the rights of the excluded shareholders to the Nominee who will account to those excluded shareholders for the net proceeds of the sale of the rights (if any). The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and the price at which the rights may be sold and the manner of any such sale. Neither the Company nor the Nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the rights or to sell them at a particular price.

If, in the reasonable opinion of the Nominee, there is not a viable market for the rights or a surplus over the expenses of sale cannot be obtained for the rights that would have been offered to the excluded shareholders, then the rights will be allowed to lapse and they will form part of the shortfall. The contact number for the Nominee is +61 8 9263 1111.

Should you have any queries please contact the Company’s Share Registry on +61 8 9389 8033.

Yours sincerely Angelo Francesca Company Secretary
