Dear fellow Shareholder
Share Purchase Plan Offer
On 7 November 2011, Ramelius Resources Limited (“Ramelius”) announced details of the Company’s Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) which will enable eligible shareholders to acquire additional shares at the same price that shares were recently placed with institutional and sophisticated investors.
I am pleased to enclose your SPP Offer together with a personalised Application Form which enables you to purchase additional shares in the Company at a discount to the pre-announcement market price without brokerage costs as detailed in the SPP Offer.
Under the SPP, Ramelius is offering each eligible shareholder the opportunity to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Ramelius (“Share”) at $1.15 per Share in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the SPP Offer.
The SPP Offer price of $1.15 per Share represents a discount of 13.5 cents or 10.5% to the volume weighted average price that Ramelius shares traded on the ASX during the five trading days immediately prior to the company entering a trading halt on 3 November 2011 .
The maximum number of Shares that eligible shareholders are entitled to apply for under the SPP is $15,000 worth at $1.15 per Share .
If you are an eligible shareholder, you may apply for shares under the SPP in one of the following amounts:
A$2,500; or A$5,000; or A$10,000; or A$15,000.
Funds raised under the SPP will be used to provide financial flexibility to undertake a more aggressive development and expansion program of the Mt Magnet gold mine whilst maintaining the Company’s ability to explore asset level acquisition opportunities during the current sustained gold price environment.
Participation in the SPP is optional. The Directors of Ramelius intend to subscribe for shares under the SPP in respect of their own shareholding.
The number of shares that can be issued under the SPP is up to 13,043,479 Shares.
140466 - V1
The Closing Date of the SPP is 2 December 2011 however under the SPP, your Board has the right to vary the Closing Date and close the Offer early upon receiving applications for Shares under the SPP totaling 13,043,479 Shares. If there is a scaleback, the Company may in its absolute discretion, determine to apply the scale-back to the extent and in the manner that it sees fit.
Any applications received after an early close of the SPP Offer will be refunded to applicants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPP Offer.
I recommend that you give the SPP Offer your immediate consideration.
Yours faithfully

There is a maximum of $15 million of New Shares available under the SPP. Accordingly, applications will be accepted on a first come, first accepted basis, or scaled back on a pro-rata basis, as the Company’s directors decide (Scale back). Each offer is made on the same terms and conditions. |
|---|---|

| Issue Price | The price per New Share issued under the SPP will be $1.15 each. This price is the same price at which Shares were issued under the Share placement announced to ASX Limited (ASX) on 7 November 2011 (Placement) and is 10.5% lower than the daily volume weighted average price of shares over the five ASX trading days up to and including 2 November 2011 (being the last day of trading before the SPP and Placement were announced). |
| Amount to invest | If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may apply for New Shares by contributing a set amount of A$2,500; A$5,000; A$10,000 or A$15,000. This parcel may be subject to a Scale back and rounding down. |

Opening Date for receipt of Applications –17 November 2011 Closing Date for receipt of Applications –2 December 2011 Allotment Date –9 December 2011 Anticipated Date of Quotation of Shares –12 December 2011 |

| Rights attached to Shares | New Shares will rank equally with existing Shares on issue at the date of allotment. |
| Transferring rights | The offer is non-renounceable meaning rights to take up New Shares cannot be transferred. |
| What to do if you receive more than one Application Form |
Unless you are applying as a Custodian (defined in item 6 on the next page), if you receive more than one Application Form, or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity, for example if you are both a sole and joint holder of Shares, the maximum amount of New Shares you may apply for under the SPP is A$15,000. |
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES
-
You should be aware that the market price of Shares may rise or fall before the New Shares are allotted to you under the SPP; therefore, the issue price of New Shares under the SPP may exceed or be less than the market price of Shares at the time of allotment to shareholders.
-
Shareholders will be bound by the constitution of the Company and these terms and conditions by accepting the offer to acquire New Shares under the SPP.
-
The Company has a broad discretion to accept or reject your application to purchase New Shares under the SPP, including (without limitation) if:
-
3.1 your Application Form is incorrectly completed or incomplete or otherwise determined by the Company to be invalid;
-
3.2 the cheque or money order that you enclose with the Application Form is not made out for the exact amount of the parcel of New Shares that you have selected on the Application Form, is dishonoured or has not been completed correctly; or
-
3.3 the Company believes that you are not an Eligible Shareholder.
-
If you apply for New Shares under the SPP, you agree to contribute a certain amount to buy New Shares rather than to apply for a certain number of New Shares. The number of New Shares you will receive will be determined by:
-
4.1 If there is no Scale back applied to your allotment, dividing the amount you agree to contribute for New Shares by the offer price ($1.15); or
-
4.2 If there is a Scale back applied to your allotment, dividing the amount you are taken to have contributed by the offer price ($1.15).
If this calculation produces a fractional number, the number of New Shares you will be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares and:
-
4.3 If there is no Scale back applied to your allotment, any residual balance will form part of the assets of the Company. You will not receive a refund of this amount, which will always be less than the price of one New Share issued under the SPP; or
-
4.4 If there is a Scale back applied to your allotment, the residual balance from rounding down will be added to the refund you receive from the Scale back.
-
The Company may issue to any person fewer New Shares than the person applied for under the SPP. No interest will be paid on any application money returned to you.
-
If you are a custodian, trustee or nominee within the definition of “custodian” in ASIC Class Order 09/425 ( Custodian ), you may contribute a maximum of A$15,000 in applying for New Shares for each participating beneficiary on whose behalf you or a downstream Custodian holds shares (but joint holders are taken to be a single holder), subject to providing the Company with the relevant certificate (see item 7.3.2 below).
-
If you apply to participate in the SPP by completing and returning the Application Form, or by using BPAY:
-
7.1 your application, on these terms and conditions, will be irrevocable and unconditional (it cannot be withdrawn);
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES
-
7.2 you acknowledge that you are an Eligible Shareholder;
-
7.3 you certify that, even if you have received more than one offer under the SPP or received offers in more than one capacity:
-
7.3.1 the aggregate application money paid by you in any capacity (except as a Custodian) for:
-
(a) the New Shares the subject of the Application Form or BPAY payment; and

- 7.3.2 if you are a Custodian and are applying for New Shares with a total application price exceeding A$15,000, you agree to certify to us in writing the matters required by ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] condition 9, in accordance with the Custodian certificate, a copy of which can be obtained from the Company’s share registry;
-
7.4 you acknowledge that you are lawfully permitted to accept the offer to acquire New Shares under the SPP and participate in the SPP in accordance with the laws applicable in Australia and any other applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which you and/or the beneficial owner of your Shares are situated.
-
The Company may modify or terminate the SPP at any time. The Company will notify ASX of any modification or termination of the SPP. The omission to give notice of any modification to, or termination of the SPP or the failure of ASX to receive such notice will not invalidate the termination or modification.
-

The decision of the Company in this respect will be conclusive and binding on all shareholders and other persons to whom that determination relates.
