THIS LETTER CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SHARES IN AUSTRALIAN-AMERICAN MINING CORPORATION LIMITED

Dear Shareholder

Minor Shareholding Sale Facility

The Board of Australian-American Mining Corporation Limited ( AusAmerican ASX: AIW, OTC.QX: OZAMY) is pleased to announce that it has established a share sale facility ( Facility ) offering minor shareholders a cost-effective and voluntary mechanism to sell their shares.

The Facility comprises 2 parts:

  1. An offer for holders of an "unmarketable parcel” of the company’s shares (securities with a value of less than $500) ( Unmarketable Parcel ); and

  2. An offer for holders of marketable, but small parcels of the company's shares (securities with a value of between $500 and $2,000) ( Small Marketable Parcel ).

Our records indicate that you hold a qualifying parcel, based on your shareholding at 5.00pm (WST) on 25[th] May 2012 and the closing price of AusAmerican shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 25[th] May 2012 of A$0.053.

Due to the brokerage costs of selling shares, you may have found it financially unattractive to sell your parcel of AusAmerican shares, even if you would like to do so. AusAmerican is also concerned at the high costs we incur to maintain small shareholdings (including costs associated with printing and mailing Annual Reports and Notices of Meetings, and the costs of the share registry).

AusAmerican has therefore decided to implement the Facility, which we are authorised to do under Schedule 4 of AusAmerican’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 15.13, to provide you an opportunity to sell your shares without incurring brokerage or other fees.

You do not have to sell your AusAmerican shares under this Facility if you do not want to do so.

Holders of Unmarketable Parcels (less than $500)

If you hold an Unmarketable Parcel, you have three options available to you:

  1. Do nothing. If you take no action, AusAmerican will be entitled to sell on your behalf the number of shares set out on the enclosed Share Retention Form;

  2. Complete and return the " Share Retention Form" . If you complete and return the Share Retention Form before 5.00pm (WST) on Friday 20[th] July 2012 ( Facility Close Date ), your shares will not be sold; or

==> picture [166 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [166 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

  1. Increase your shareholding to a marketable parcel (A$500 worth or more) by the Facility Close Date. If you increase your shareholding to a marketable parcel your shares will not be sold. If you wish to do so, you should contact your broker. The additional shares must be held in the same holding as your current shares and must be registered by 5.00pm (WST) on the Facility Close Date. If you have a number of holdings that you wish to consolidate, please contact Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited (Computershare) on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or on +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia) before the facility close date.

Holders of Small Marketable Parcels (between $500 and $2,000)

If you hold a Small Marketable Parcel, you have two options available to you:

  1. Do nothing. If you do nothing, your shares will not be sold; or

  2. Complete and return the attached " Sale Instruction Form ". If you complete and return the Sale Instruction Form before the Facility Close Date, AusAmerican will sell on your behalf all of your shares in AusAmerican, at no brokerage cost to you.

Details of the sale of shares

The sale of your shareholding will be conducted on the ASX. AusAmerican will bear the brokerage and other costs associated with the sale of AusAmerican shares under the Facility, however you will bear any tax on income or capital gains on the sale of your shares.

D.J Carmichael Pty Ltd. ( Broker ) will act as execution-only broker on behalf of shareholders to effect any sales under the Facility. The sale of shares is expected to take place as soon as practicable but in any event not later than the date one (1) month from the Facility Close Date ( Termination Date ), and will be subject to the Broker being able to find purchasers for the shares. The Facility will terminate on the earlier of the Termination Date and the date all of the shares for sale under the Facility have been sold. Broker will effect sales by placing one or more orders to sell shares on the ASX in the ordinary course of business (including, in the Broker's sole discretion, by crossings).

The price you will receive for your shares will be calculated as the volume weighted average price of all shares sold by the Broker under the Facility. All participants who have their shares sold under the Facility will receive the same average price per AusAmerican share. That price will be determined by the Broker and may not be challenged in the absence of manifest error.

Your sale proceeds will be sent to you by the registry after the conclusion of the Facility and will be paid in Australian dollars in accordance with your existing payment instructions provided to AusAmerican in respect of your shareholding (i.e. mailed at your risk to your address on AusAmerican's share register or deposited into your bank account). If you wish to change your registered address, please contact our registry, Computershare, by telephone on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or on +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia).

AusAmerican will send you written confirmation notifying you of the number of your AusAmerican shares sold through the Facility, the sale price for those shares and the total sale proceeds you have received. The sale of the your shares in accordance with the Facility will extinguish all your rights and interest in the shares and all claims you may have against AusAmerican in respect of the shares, including any dividends determined to be paid and not actually paid.

If your shares are in a CHESS holding and remain in a CHESS holding on the Facility Close Date, and are to be sold under the Facility, you should note that AusAmerican may, without further notice to you, sell the relevant shares while they remain in your CHESS holding, and may initiate a holding adjustment to move those shares to an issuer sponsored holding or a certificated holding for the purposes of that sale.

You cannot sell part of your shareholding under the Facility. If you hold an Unmarketable Parcel and do not want to sell all of your AusAmerican shares, you must return the Share Retention Form or increase your holding to a marketable parcel by 5.00pm (WST time) on the Facility Close Date. If you hold a Small Marketable Parcel and return the Sale Instruction Form, all of your AusAmerican shares will be sold.

If you wish to sell only some of your shares and not take part in the Facility, you should call your broker. Sales through your broker will generally be subject to brokerage that will not be met by AusAmerican.

The price of AusAmerican shares

In the period from 21[st] May 2012 to 25[th] May 2012, AusAmerican shares have traded on the ASX in the range of A$0.051 to A$0.057, with the closing price on 25[th] May 2012 being A$0.053. The price of AusAmerican shares is subject to change from time to time, and pricing information is available from a number of sources, including daily newspapers or the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under the ASX code "AIW".

You should note that as the shares will be sold on market, the price at which your AusAmerican shares are sold will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions at the time of sale. You will not have control over the time at which your shares are sold, the price you receive may be different from the price appearing in the newspaper or quoted by ASX on any day, may not be the best price on the day that your shares are sold. If a large number of AusAmerican shares are sold under the Facility at the same time as your shares, this may have an adverse effect on the price that you receive.

However, without limitation to the foregoing, the Broker must sell AusAmerican shares under the Facility at the highest price reasonably obtainable for those shares at the time of the relevant sale.

Other important information

None of AusAmerican, the Broker or Computershare makes any statement of opinion or recommendation to you regarding whether to participate in the Facility, or whether to buy, sell or hold AusAmerican shares, or that the Facility is the best way to sell AusAmerican shares.

You may wish of course to elect to maintain your existing shareholding, in which case you

should take one of the steps outlined above.

If you wish to sell your shares, there are advantages in participating in the Facility compared to using a broker as no brokerage and handling fees are payable by you under the Facility, although there are also disadvantages, as you will not be able to control when and at what price your shares are sold under the Facility.

If you are in any doubt about whether to participate in the Facility, please consult your licensed financial adviser. You may also wish to obtain independent professional advice regarding the possible taxation consequences of your decision.

Nominees and Custodians should note that the Facility applies on a Registration level basis and not per underlying holder.

If you do not respond to this letter and your AusAmerican shares are to be sold under the Facility, AusAmerican will, as your agent under Article 3.2 of Schedule 4 of its Constitution, receive any notice (including a Financial Services Guide and any update of that document) that the Broker or Computershare is required to provide under the Corporations Act. Any such document will be made available on AusAmerican's announcements page on the ASX website.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 15.13 and Article 2.1(c) of Schedule 4 of the AusAmerican Constitution, the Facility will lapse if a takeover bid for AusAmerican is announced before sales under the Facility are completed, although it may be started again after the close of offers made under the takeover.

If you have any questions concerning your AusAmerican shareholding or how the Facility will work, please contact Computershare on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or on +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia).

Yours faithfully
