Invitation to Participate in Shareholder Share Purchase Plan
The Board of Directors of Mindax Limited ( Mindax or Company ) have approved the introduction of the Mindax Shareholder Share Purchase Plan ( Plan ) to raise funds for an accelerated exploration program at the Company’s Mt Forrest Iron Ore prospects, the ongoing exploration expenditure at the Company’s Yilgarn Avon Uranium prospects; and to provide general working capital.
Shareholders Eligible to Participate in the Plan
The right to participate in the Plan is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Mindax ( Shares ) at 5pm (AWST) on the Record Date of Tuesday, 15 December 2009 and whose registered address is in Australia or other lawful jurisdictions ( Eligible Shareholders ).
Share Purchase Plan
The Board is pleased to offer to all Eligible Shareholders an opportunity to participate in the Plan. Details of the offer are set out in this letter and the enclosed Terms and Conditions .
The Plan entitles Eligible Shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase 10,000 Shares, or 20,000 Shares or 30,000 Shares, being an investment of $5,000, or $10,000 or $15,000 at an issue price of $0.50 per Share ( Offer ). In determining the issue price of the Shares, the Directors elected to proceed with a price that represents a discount to the recent trading price of the Shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).
The Company has obtained a waiver on 8 December 2009 from ASX from Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11 to permit it to issue up to $15,000 worth of Shares to each Eligible Shareholder and for all directors to participate in the SPP. It is the Company’s intention that the amount raised under the Plan will not exceed $3.5 million and if applications under the Plan exceed the sum of $3.5 million then the Directors will apply scale backs in relation to the applications.
If the Plan does not receive applications for the total sum of $3.5 million then depending on the degree of the shortfall (if any), the Directors of Mindax intend to scale back the acceleration of the exploration program at Mt Forrest and the exploration expenditure to be applied at Yilgarn Avon.
The average trading price of the Shares on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the announcement date of this Offer was 51.39 cents.
Scale Backs in the Event of Oversubscription
The maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Offer without shareholder approval is 7,000,000 being a total capital raising of $3,500,000. In the event of an oversubscription by the Closing Date the Directors will, in their absolute discretion, scale-back some or all applications in their absolute discretion. In applying their discretion and determining criteria of or grounds for

ABN 28 106 866 442
scale back the Directors may take into account matters including (without limitation):
-
The fact that the minimum subscription is $5,000.
-
The amount applied for by each Eligible Shareholder.
-
The number of Shares held at the Record Date.
-
Whether the Eligible Shareholder remains on the register on the Closing Date.
-
The date upon which an application is received.
Bonus Options Issue
The Company intends to proceed with a bonus issue of options to acquire Shares ( Options ) on the basis of one (1) new Option for every two (2) Shares held as at the proposed record date for the bonus issue.
In June 2006 the Company issued the MDXOA option series as a bonus offer to reward shareholders. As a result of the pricing of the MDXOA option series and the exploration success enjoyed by the Company up to the time of the MDXOA expiry date (30 June 2008) the 2006 bonus option offer was a success for both the Company and its shareholders because at the time of expiry the MDXOA securities were comfortably “in the money” and this resulted in 97% of the MDXOA options being exercised with an aggregate exercise price and capital infusion of some $10 million for the Company.
The proposed new series Options will have an exercise price of $0.75 each and an expiry date of 1 December 2011. The record date for the bonus issue will occur after the issue of Shares arising from the Plan has been completed.
If the Plan succeeds in raising the $3.5 million maximum amount, then after the issue of the Shares under the Plan there will be approximately 136 million Mindax Shares on issue which will lead to the issue of approximately 68 million new options (assuming no other Shares are issued). If all of the new series of options are exercised, then the maximum amount that will be paid to the Company is approximately $51 million.
Current Projects and Use of Funds
Details of the Company’s current activities are set out in the announcements made by Mindax to the ASX and are available from the ASX.
The funds raised under the Plan will be used by the Company to fund the accelerated exploration program at the Company’s Mt Forrest Iron Ore prospects and the ongoing exploration program at the Company’s Yilgarn Avon Uranium prospects; and to provide general working capital. It is proposed that the Plan will raise a maximum of $3,500,000 .

This limitation applies, for example, even if you receive more than one application form or you hold your existing Shares in more than one capacity. The $15,000 limit applies irrespective of the number of existing Shares you hold on the Record Date.
By applying to acquire Shares under the SPP, you:
-
certify and warrant that the aggregate of the application price paid by you for:
-
the Shares the subject of your application, or an application by a custodian on your behalf, under the SPP; and
-

Page 4
Mindax Limited | Terms and Conditions of the SPP
it believes the terms of the SPP have not been complied with.
6. Can I transfer my right to purchase the Shares?
No.
The offer under the SPP is non-renounceable. This means that you cannot transfer your right to acquire Shares under the SPP to anyone else.
7. Will shares issued under the SPP rank equally with my existing Shares?
Yes.
All Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with your existing Shares and will carry the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements as at the issue date.
8. What is the issue price of the Shares?
The issue price for each Share is $0.50 ( Issue Price ).
Shares in Mindax are a speculative investment, and the share price of Shares might rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date the Shares are issued to you. This means that the price you pay for a Share in Mindax may be greater or less than the price of Shares at the time they are issued to you.
Mindax recommends that you monitor Mindax’s share price, which can be found on the Australian Securities Exchange website at www.asx.com.au (ASX code: MDX) or in the financial pages of major Australian metropolitan newspapers.
This offer to acquire Shares is not a recommendation. If you are in any doubt about this offer, whether you should participate in the SPP or how such participation will affect you, you should consider seeking independent financial and taxation advice before making a decision as to whether or not to accept this offer.
9. How do I apply for Shares under the
SPP?
To apply for Shares under the SPP, Eligible Shareholders must either:
-
complete the “Share Purchase Plan Application Form” and return it with your payment by cheque in Australian Dollars made payable to “Mindax Limited - Subscription Account” so that it is received by Mindax’s registry by no later than 5:00pm (AWST) on 8 January 2010 ( Closing Date ); or
-
make a BPAY® payment by using the personalised reference number shown on your “Share Purchase Plan Application Form”, which is required to identify your holding. If you make payment using BPAY®, the payment must be received in cleared funds by no later than the Closing Date and you must still lodge your “Share Purchase Plan Application Form” so that it is received by Mindax’s registry by no later than the Closing Date. (Note: BPAY® payments can only be made through an Australian financial institution).
Applications received after 5:00pm (AWST) on 8 January 2010 will not be accepted.
Applications and any payments received under the SPP may not be withdrawn once they have been received by Mindax. Application money will not bear interest against Mindax in any circumstances.
10. What are the participation costs of the
SPP?
No brokerage or other transaction costs are payable by participants in the SPP.
These costs will be paid by Mindax.
11. When will I receive the Shares?
Mindax intends to issue Shares under the SPP as soon as reasonably practicable after the closing date specified by Mindax.
It is expected that Shares issued under the SPP will be quoted on ASX on or about 15 January 2010 . Shares issued under the SPP to these persons can be traded on ASX at any time after quotation on ASX.
You should receive your holding statement or confirmation advice shortly after the date of issue.
12. I have several holdings. Can I purchase a separate parcel of Shares for each holding?
If you receive more than one offer to participate in the SPP (for example, because you hold more than one shareholding under separate share accounts), the maximum you may invest under the SPP in all capacities is $15,000.
If you are recorded with one or more other persons as the joint holder of Shares, that joint holding is considered to be a single holding for the purposes of the SPP. Accordingly, joint holders are only entitled to participate in the SPP in respect of that single holding. If you receive more than one offer under the SPP due to multiple identical holdings, the maximum you
Page 5
Mindax Limited | Terms and Conditions of the SPP
may invest under the SPP in all capacities is $15,000.
However, if you are a custodian holding existing Shares as at the record date on behalf of one or more persons who resides in Australia, New Zealand or any other jurisdiction which Mindax determines (in its sole discretion) is lawful and practicable for Mindax to issue Shares under the SPP (each a Participating Beneficiary ), you may apply for up to a maximum amount of $15,000 of Shares for each Participating Beneficiary subject to certifying to Mindax:
-
that you hold existing Shares on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary on the Record Date (being 5.00pm (AWST) on 15 December 2009);
-
that each Participating Beneficiary has subsequently instructed you to apply for Shares under the SPP;
-
the number of Participating Beneficiaries;
-
the name and address of each Participating Beneficiary;
-
in respect of each Participating Beneficiary, the number of existing Shares, or interests in existing Shares, you hold on their behalf;
-
in respect of each Participating Beneficiary, the number or the dollar amount of new Shares they instructed you to apply for on their behalf; and
-
there are no Participating Beneficiaries in respect of which the total of the application price for the following exceeds $15,000:
-
the new Shares applied for by you on their behalf under the SPP; and
-
any other existing Shares, or interests in existing Shares, issued to you in the 12 months before the application as a result of an instruction given by the Participating Beneficiary to you to apply for those Shares on their behalf under an arrangement similar to the SPP.
If you are a custodian and you hold existing Shares on the record date jointly on behalf of 2 or more persons:
-
the $15,000 limit applies in relation to that joint holding as if you held the Shares on behalf of a single person; and
-
you are taken to have been instructed to apply for new Shares on behalf of those persons if:
-
you have received such an instruction in accordance with the terms on which the shares are held; or
-
where the terms on which the Shares are held do not cover the giving of instructions of this kind, you have received such an instruction from any of those persons.
If a custodian is not able to provide this certification, then the maximum an eligible custodian may invest under the SPP in all capacities is $15,000.
For the purposes of the SPP, a custodian is a custodian as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 09/425. If you hold shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but are not a custodian as defined in ASIC Class Order 09/425, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.
13. Scale back
Mindax is only seeking to raise a maximum of $3,500,000 under the SPP. Accordingly, Mindax reserves absolute discretion to scale back applications under the SPP to the extent and in the manner that it sees fit. Factors that Mindax may take into account in determining any scale back include, but are not limited to, the amount applied for by each Eligible Shareholder under the SPP, the fact that the minimum subscription under the SPP is $5,000, the date on which the application under the SPP is received, the number of Shares held at the Record Date and whether the Eligible Shareholder remains on the register on the Closing Date.
Mindax may scale back applications below the Minimum Application Amount (being $5000). If Mindax undertakes a scale back, you will receive the number of Shares determined by Mindax in its absolute discretion which may be less than the parcel of Shares for which you have applied. In this case, the difference between the application moneys received and the number of Shares allocated to you multiplied by the issue price, may be refunded to you by direct credit (to your nominated account if recorded on Mindax's share register) or cheque as soon as practicable without interest at the time of allotment.
14. Discretion and Disputes
Mindax reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any term or condition of this SPP. Any powers or discretions of Mindax may be exercised by the directors of Mindax or any delegate of them.
Mindax may determine, in any manner it thinks fit, any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the
Page 6
Mindax Limited | Terms and Conditions of the SPP
operation of the SPP whether generally or in relation to any participant or application. A determination made by Mindax will be conclusive and binding on all participants and other persons to whom the determination relates.
15. Changes and Termination
Mindax may change or terminate the SPP or the terms and conditions of the SPP at any time, whether because of a change of law, ASIC requirements or policy or any other circumstance relevant to the SPP or Mindax. If Mindax terminates the SPP, it will notify the ASX and refund any application moneys to you (without interest).
16. ASIC and ASX relief
The offer of Shares under this SPP is made in accordance with the relief granted under ASIC Class Order 09/425 which grants relief from the requirement to prepare a prospectus for the offer of new shares under the SPP.
Mindax has also obtained a waiver on 8 December 2009 from ASX from Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11 to permit Mindax to issue up to $15,000 worth of Shares to each Eligible Shareholder and for all directors to participate in the SPP.
17. Currency
Unless otherwise specified, any reference to “$” is a reference to the lawful currency of Australia.
18. Governing Law
The SPP is governed by the laws in force in Western Australia. By participating in the SPP, you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.
19. Where can I obtain further information
in relation to the SPP?
If you have any questions about the terms and conditions of the SPP or how to make an application, please contact Mr Angelo Francesca, Company Secretary, on (08) 9486 2333 or by email to [email protected]. Neither Mindax nor Advanced Share Registry (the company’s share registry) nor any of their personnel, is or is to be taken to be, giving any securities recommendation or investment advice in relation to the SPP nor do any of them have any obligation to do so. You should consider seeking your own advice in relation to the SPP.
