Share Purchase Plan – Letter to Eligible Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

We write to you as the holder of Paterson Resources Limited (ASX: PSL) ( Paterson or the Company ) Shares with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom as at 7pm (AEST) on 11 September 2020 ( Record Date ). As advised in the Company's ASX announcement dated 14 September 2020, Paterson is undertaking a share purchase plan offer to provide Eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for new Shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.0035 per Share ( SPP Offer ). The Company is also proposing to issue one new Option for every one Share issued under the SPP Offer, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval to be sought at the Company's Annual General Meeting. The SPP Offer provides Eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for new Shares at the same issue price as the Placement completed on 18 September 2020. If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you can apply for up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of new Shares.

A prospectus in relation to the SPP Offer was lodged by Paterson with ASIC and ASX on 18 September 2020 ( Prospectus ). A copy of the Prospectus (along with information with respect to applying for Shares and Quoted Options under the SPP Offer including your personalised Application Form) is accessible at: https://patersonsppoffer.thereachagency.com/. Hard copies of the Prospectus are also available upon request to Paterson’s share registry, Computershare, on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia).

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this letter have the meaning given in the Prospectus.

Purpose of the SPP Offer

Subject to the satisfactory completion of the SPP Offer, funds will be primarily used for:

  • completion of geophysical surveys at the Grace Gold-Copper Project;

  • exploration and resource definition drilling at the Grace Gold-Copper Project;

  • deep exploration drilling of aeromagnetic targets on E45/4524 and E45/5130 within the Grace Gold-Copper Project;

  • resource definition drilling of the Hackneys Creek Gold Prospects at the Burraga Copper-Gold Project;

  • costs of the SPP Offer; and

  • corporate administration and general working capital and management expenses.

The SPP Offer is available to all Paterson shareholders registered on the Record Date whose registered address is in Australia, or subject to certain restrictions described in Section 1.13 of the Prospectus, New Zealand and the United Kingdom ( Eligible Shareholders ). The SPP Offer is not being extended to any Shareholders with addresses outside these jurisdictions.

Investors should note that Paterson is an early stage mineral exploration company, and that any investment made in it should be considered highly speculative.
