Dear Marathon Optionholder
We wish to advise that, on 16 February 2011, Marathon Resources Ltd ( Marathon ) will be announcing a one (1) for ten (10) non-renounceable pro rata rights issue to raise up to $4.4 million (before expenses) ( Rights Issue ).
The Rights Issue will be offered at $0.50 per share, which is at the same price as a recent placement to key institutions and existing major shareholders, Talbot Group Investments Pty Ltd and CITIC Australia Pty Ltd, which raised $5.46 million (before expenses). The offer price also represents a 9% discount to the closing market price of Marathon’s shares on 2 February 2011 (being the last trading day prior to the preliminary announcement of the Rights Issue on 7 February 2011) of $0.55 per share.
The proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used to fund further exploration and development of Marathon’s mining tenements. This includes approved exploration activities on the highly prospective EL 4355 (which has recently been renewed by the South Australian Government), which will focus on:
increasing Marathon’s knowledge of known deposits; testing the recently discovered high grade shear systems; and assessing rare earth element (REE) occurrences within the tenement.
The proceeds will also be applied towards Marathon’s general working capital requirements.
Full details of the Rights Issue will be set out in the announcement of the Rights Issue, Offer Memorandum and Appendix 3B to be lodged with ASX on 16 February 2011.
Under the Rights Issue, every person who is registered as the holder of Marathon Shares at 5.00pm Adelaide time on 24 February 2011 ( Record Date ) will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue in respect of the number of Marathon shares that person is then registered as the holder of. Shareholders with registered addresses in countries outside of Australia and New Zealand will not be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.
Accordingly, to be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue in respect of the Marathon shares to be issued on exercise of the Marathon options you hold, you must exercise those Marathon options and be registered as the holder of the underlying Marathon Shares before the Record Date.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the impending Rights Issue and to give you adequate opportunity to exercise some or all of your Marathon options prior to the Record Date so that you may participate in the Rights Issue.
To exercise some or all of your Marathon options you will need to give notice in writing to Marathon in accordance with the terms and conditions of issue of those Marathon Options together with payment of the exercise price for each Marathon option exercised.
The anticipated timetable for the Rights Issue is as follows:
| EVENT | DATE |

Wednesday 16 February 2011 |
| Ex date–The date on which Shares commence trading without the entitlement to participate in the Rights Issue |
