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 together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
The Plan entitles Eligible Shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase up to $4,999.98 worth of Shares at a price of 3 cents per Share, representing a 9.37% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's shares on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of announcement of the Offer, free of brokerage and commission (Offer).
The average trading price of the Shares on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer was 3.31 cents.
All Directors who are eligible shareholders of the Company will be participating in the offer.
Current Projects
The Executive Chairman of ABM Resources, Mr Imants Kins, stated that the SPP would advance further Company exploration at the company's flagship projects at Erayinia near Kalgoorlie and Mimosa in Mozambique, and at the highly prospective gold project at Broads Dam.
Mr Kins commented that,"the SPP comes at a time of significant progress for ABM and its shareholders". He also stated, "in terms of the quality of its portfolio and exploration progress, ABM has never been in a better position. ABM continues to be encouraged by the exploration results at the VMS discovery at the King prospect at Erayinia with recent results increasing the strike length of the project. Assay results from recent diamond drilling at the northern lens (sulphides intersected) and southern lens approximately 200 metres from the northern lens (core currently being logged) are awaited with much interest. Further assay results are awaited from the drilling at the Mimosa gold discovery in Mozambique.
"After completion of the current drilling programs, we will focus on analyzing all of the results and data and plan to determine a resource estimate for King (initially in-house and subsequently using an external independent consultant) and embark on a follow-up drilling program for Mimosa," he said.
The proceeds of the Plan will be utilised to further the development of the Company's exploration portfolio as outlined above and for working capital.
Further details of the Company's current activities are set out in the announcements made by ABM Resources to the ASX and are available from the ASX or ABM's website at www.abmresources.com.au.

Shareholder Share Purchase Plan – Terms and Conditions
Purpose
The purpose of the Shareholder Share Purchase Plan (the Plan) is to offer shareholders of ABM Resources NL (ABM Resources or the Company) the opportunity to acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (ABM Resources Shares) up to a maximum of A$5,000 at a discount to the market price of ABM Resources Shares on the financial market operated by ASX Limited (ASX) without the need to pay brokerage costs and without the need for ABM Resources to issue a Prospectus, upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of ABM Resources, in its absolute discretion, sees fit.
Shareholders Eligible to Participate
Eligible shareholders of ABM Resources that are registered with an Australian address at the relevant record date may participate in the Plan. Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders resident in other countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan.
Participation in the Plan is optional and is subject to these terms and conditions. Offers made under the Plan are non-renounceable (i.e. eligible shareholders may not transfer their rights to any ABM Resources Shares offered under the Plan).
An offer may, at the discretion of the Directors of ABM Resources, be made under the Plan once a year. The maximum amount, which any shareholder may subscribe for in any consecutive twelve month period, is A$5,000. The Directors of ABM Resources may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of ABM Resources Shares to be offered under the Plan and the period the offer is available to eligible shareholders.
Price of ABM Resources Shares
The price of ABM Resources Shares to be issued under the Plan will be determined by calculating a discount to the volume weighted average market price of ABM Resources Shares quoted on ASX during the period five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of the announcement of the Offer or the date Shares are issued pursuant to the Offer.
Applications and Notices
At the discretion of the Directors of the Company, ABM Resources will send eligible shareholders a letter of offer and acceptance procedures, inviting them to subscribe for ABM Resources Shares under the Plan, and accompanied by the terms and conditions of the Plan and an entitlement and acceptance form. Applications will not be accepted after the closing date of an offer. Over subscriptions to an offer may be refunded without interest.
Notices and statements made by ABM Resources to participants may be given in any manner prescribed by its Constitution.
Issue of ABM Resources Shares
ABM Resources Shares to be issued under the Plan will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the closing date specified by the Directors of ABM Resources in the relevant offer.
ABM Resources Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with all other fully paid ordinary shares in ABM Resources from the date of issue.
Shareholding statements or CHESS notification will be issued in respect of all ABM Resources Shares issued under the Plan. The Company will, promptly after the issue of ABM Resources Shares under the Plan, make application for those ABM Resources Shares to be listed for quotation on the official list of ASX.
Modification and Termination of the Plan
ABM Resources may modify or terminate the Plan at any time.
ABM Resources will notify ASX of any modification to, or termination of, the Plan. The omission to give notice of any modification to, or termination of, the Plan or the failure of ASX to receive such notice will not invalidate the modification or termination.
Without limiting the above, ABM Resources may issue to any person fewer ABM Resources Shares than the person applied for under the Plan if the issue of the ABM Resources Shares applied for would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of ASX.
Dispute Resolution
ABM Resources may, in any manner it thinks fit, settle any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the Plan, whether generally or in relation to any participant, application or ABM Resources Shares. The decision of ABM Resources in this respect will be conclusive and binding on all shareholders and other persons to whom that determination relates.
ABM Resources reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of these terms and conditions. The powers of ABM Resources under these conditions may be exercised by the Directors of ABM Resources or any delegate of the Directors of ABM Resources.
