Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders

I am writing to encourage you to take up your entitlements under the Entitlement Issue announced by Ramelius on 24 June 2014. The Entitlement Issue provides Eligible Shareholders with the right to apply for one New Share for every four Shares held on 8 July 2014 at 6.5 cents per New Share and receive one free New Option for every two New Shares applied for that will be exercisable at 12 cents per share by 1 August 2015.

The terms of the New Shares are the same as under the $2.1 million Placement to sophisticated and professional investors which was also announced by Ramelius on 24 June 2014. The issue price of 6.5 cents per share represents a 34% discount to the last sale price of 9.9 cents recorded on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) immediately prior to the date of the announcement of the Entitlement Issue.

Under the non-renounceable Entitlement Issue, Ramelius is seeking to raise approximately $6.5 million which together with the proceeds of the Placement will primarily be used to advance the Kathleen Valley and Vivien high grade gold projects. With the final payment of $4.5 million for the acquisition of the Vivien project having been made in late June 2014, proceeds from the Entitlement Issue will be applied towards the following:

  • acquisition of the high grade Kathleen Valley gold project located 50km north of Leinster in Western Australia from Xstrata Nickel Australasia Operations Pty Limited and Giralia Resources Pty Ltd;

  • initial drilling and feasibility study at Kathleen Valley;

  • to progress initial development work at the Vivien project, including dewatering, surface earthworks and underground mine portal preparations;

  • working capital and expenses of the Entitlement Issue.

Both these projects are expected to re-position your Company with higher grade, higher margin ore sources which have the potential upon development to boost the Company’s base-load production. High grade projects are becoming much harder to find or acquire within Australia; our preferred operating jurisdiction. Ramelius has been aggressive in securing these opportunities and is transitioning a return to a high grade production model, as was the case with our highly successful Wattle Dam project that was operational for the Company between 2006 and 2013.

The Entitlement Issue provides Eligible Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the Company’s renewed focus on developing its new and exciting high grade Vivien and Kathleen Valley gold projects.

Your Board is excited about the opportunities that the Vivien and Kathleen Valley gold projects bring to Ramelius and looks forward to you participating in the Entitlement Issue.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Kennedy Chairman

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

1.2 The Offer

This is an offer of up to approximately 99,512,019 New Shares to the Shareholders of the Company who are registered on the Record Date with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand together with up to approximately 49,756,010 free New Options on the basis of 1 New Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for. One New Share is offered for every 4 Shares held at a price of $0.065 each to raise up to $6,468,281 (before costs). The New Options are exercisable from the date they are issued until the Expiry Date of 1 August 2015 at a price of $0.12 per option to convert into approximately up to 49,756,010 Shares.

1.3 Issue Price

The issue price is $0.065 per New Share payable in full on application. The issue price is nil per New Option.

1.4 Fractional Entitlements

Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Securities. The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

1.5 Purpose of the Entitlement Issue

The purpose of the Offer is to raise up to $6,468,281 for New Shares and $5,970,721 on exercise of the New Options. There is no guarantee that all or any of the New Options will be exercised. Based on current information and budgets, the Company intends to apply the money raised from the Offer under this Prospectus and the Placement as outlined in the table below.

Results of exploration and associated feasibility work will lead to an ongoing re-assessment of each project and work programs and budgets may be modified accordingly.

If less than $6,468,281 is raised, the Company intends to apply the amount raised from the Entitlement Issue and Placement first to the costs of the Offer, thereafter, as a priority, to the acquisition of the Kathleen Valley Gold Project and then on a pro-rata basis across items 2 – 4 from the following use of funds table:

Item Use of Funds Amount
1. Acquisition of the Kathleen Valley gold project $4,050,000
2. Initial drilling and feasibility study at Kathleen Valley $400,000

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

1.6 Effect of the Offer on Capital Structure

The effect of the Offer on the capital structure of the Company is set out in the following table:

Pre-Offer Post-Offer
(Assuming 99,512,019 New Shares and
49,756,010 New Options are issued under the
Offer)
Ordinary shares 398,048,0731 497,560,092
Placement Options and
New Options
- 65,909,8592
Unquoted Options 1,500,0003 1,500,000

1.7 Effect of the Offer on Control

Based on publicly available information and assuming completion of the Placement, the substantial shareholders in the Company as at 2 July 2014 are set out below:

Name Number of shares held Percentage of issued
shares
Sprott Asset Management LP 46,253,605 11.62%

Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement will not have their holdings diluted.

The potential effect the Offer will have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor demand and existing holdings of Shares. However, given the structure of the Offer as a pro rata issue and the current level of holdings of substantial holders, including Sprott Asset Management LP (based on substantial holding notices that have been given to the Company on or prior to the date of this Prospectus), the Offer is not expected to have any material effect or consequence on the control of the Company.

1.8 Opening and Closing Dates

The Entitlement Issue will open for receipt of acceptances on the Opening Date and closes on the Closing Date. The Directors reserve the right to vary the dates of the Offer, including extending the Closing Date subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or other applicable laws. Investors are therefore urged to lodge their Entitlement and Acceptance Forms as soon as possible.

1 This assumes that 32,307,693 Placement Shares are issued on or about 2 July 2014.

2 Includes 16,153,849 Placement Options anticipated to be issued on or about 2 July 2014.

3 Employee options exercisable at $0.20 by expiry date of 11 June 2016.

Dividends

Dividends are declared by the Directors at their discretion and subject to any special rights (at present there are none) are payable on all Shares in proportion to the amount of capital for the time being paid up but not credited as paid up on those Shares.

Page 5 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable. Where the Listing Rules or the law require the Company to do so, the Directors must decline to register a transfer. If Shares are subject to a restriction agreement entered into by the Company and Shareholder, except as permitted by the Listing Rules, a Shareholder may not dispose of the Shares and the Directors and the Company will not register a dealing in the Shares.

Future increases in capital

The allotment or issue of any Shares of the Company is under the control of the Directors who may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, allot or otherwise dispose of them on such conditions as they see fit.

Variation of rights

The rights and privileges attaching to Shares can be altered by special resolution of the Shareholders. A special resolution is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than 75% of those present and voting.

Rights on winding up

In the event of a winding up of the Company:

  • any surplus will be divided among the Shareholders in the proportion to the amounts paid on their respective Shares before the winding up began;

  • the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, distribute among the Shareholders the whole or any part of the property of the Company.

1.13 Rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options

The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options are as follows:

  • (1) Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share.

  • (2) The New Options will expire at 5:00pm (Adelaide time) on 1 August 2015 ( Expiry Date ). Any New Option which has not been exercised before that date automatically lapses.

  • (3) Each New Option is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.12 per Share at any time before the Expiry Date.

  • (4) Some or all of the New Options may be exercised at any one time or times prior to the Expiry Date provided that if the number of New Options held is less than 10,000 then all the New Options must be exercised at one time and if more than 10,000 New Options are held they must be exercised in parcels of at least 10,000.

  • (5) New Options will be fully transferable in accordance with the constitution of the Company and, for such time as the Company is listed, the Listing Rules.

Page 6 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

  • (6) No certificates will be issued for the New Options, but holding statements will be issued to holders for New Options issued.

  • (7) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any New Option will rank in all respects on equal terms with the existing Shares.

  • (8) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of a New Option will be issued on a date which will not be more than 10 business days after the receipt of a properly executed notice of exercise of option and the application moneys in respect of the exercise of the New Option.

  • (9) Application will be made by the Company to the ASX for permission for quotation to be granted in respect of Shares issued upon exercise of any of the New Options in the manner required by the Listing Rules.

  • (10) Holders can exercise New Options by completing and submitting a notice of exercise of options (which is set out on the holding statement for the New Options or, if none, such form as the Directors may accept) to the Company’s share registry together with the required exercise price.

  • (11) A New Option will not entitle the holder to participate in any new issue of Shares by the Company, unless the New Option has been duly exercised prior to the relevant record date.

  • (12) If there is a reconstruction or reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the capital of the Company, the rights of the holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable Listing Rules at the time of the restructure or reorganisation. Any changes to the terms of the New Options will not result in any benefit being conferred on the holder which is not conferred on the Shareholders of the Company.

  • (13) If there is a pro-rata issue (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares, the exercise price of each New Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

O’ = O – E[P-(S+D)] N + 1

Where

  • O’ = The new exercise price of the New Option

  • O = The old exercise price of the New Option

  • E = The number of Shares into which one New Option is exercisable

  • P = The average market price per Share (weighted by volume) of Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights or ex-entitlements date

Page 7 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

  • S = The subscription price for a Share under the prorata issue

  • D = The dividend due but not yet paid on Shares (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue)

  • N = The number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share

  • (14) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which the New Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the New Option would have received if the New Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (15) In the event of a winding up of the Company unexercised New Options will have no right to a distribution of surplus assets of the Company.

  • (16) The Listing Rules prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these terms.

  • (17) These terms are governed by the laws of South Australia and the holder submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of South Australian courts and courts of appeal from them.

1.14 Effect of the Entitlement Issue on Optionholders

Optionholders may participate in the Entitlement Issue by exercising any or all of these options before the Record Date. The exercise of any options prior to the Record Date will increase the issued capital of the Company and may increase the number of New Securities issued under the Entitlement Issue and the total amount raised under the Entitlement Issue.

Optionholders cannot participate in the Entitlement Issue without exercising their options.

1.15 Minimum Capital Raising

There is no minimum amount of capital to be raised under the Entitlement Issue.

1.16 Shortfall in subscription

The Directors reserve the right to issue any shortfall in subscription for New Securities at their discretion within 3 months after the close of the Offer ( Shortfall Offer ). Offers of shortfall are made as a separate offer under this Prospectus. Should the Directors decide to issue any shortfall, the Shortfall Offer will remain open after the Closing Date. The issue price for each New Share to be issued under any Shortfall Offer will not be less than $0.065.

Page 8 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

1.17 Overseas Shareholders

This Offer is only being extended to Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand. All other Shareholders ( Non-Resident Shareholders ) will not be offered Rights under this Prospectus. The Company has determined, in accordance with the Listing Rules, that it would be unreasonable to make an offer under this Prospectus to Non-Resident Shareholders having regard to:

  • the number of Shareholders in the places where the offer would be made;

  • the number and value of the Rights that would be offered; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal requirements in those places.

No Entitlement and Acceptance Forms are being sent to Non-Resident Shareholders.

Neither this Prospectus nor the Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Company to subscribe for or purchase any of the New Securities in any jurisdiction or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or invitation. The distribution of this Prospectus and Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and the offering of New Securities, in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession such documents come should inform themselves about and comply with those restrictions.

1.18 Taxation

Shareholders should be aware that there are taxation implications for subscribing for New Securities. These taxation implications will vary between different Shareholders and Shareholders should consult their own professional tax adviser in relation to the taxation implications.

2. How to Apply

2.1 What you may do

The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown in the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You may:

  • take up all of your Entitlement to New Shares;

  • take up all of your Entitlement to New Shares and apply for any Entitlement not taken up by other Shareholders;

  • take up part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse; or

  • not take up any of your Entitlement and allow it to lapse.

Page 9 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

together with your cheque made payable to “Ramelius Resources Limited” for the total amount payable to reach the Company’s share registry by 5:00pm (Adelaide time) on the Closing Date. Do not forward cash or money orders. Receipts for application monies will not be issued.

For payment by BPAY, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY, you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Your BPAY payment must be received by 5:00pm (Adelaide time) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cutoff times with respect to electronic payment and you should take this into account when making payment.

2.3 Applying for Additional New Shares

If a Shareholder wishes to take up any New Shares offered on the basis of this Prospectus which are not taken up by other Shareholders ( Additional New Shares ), Shareholders must, in addition to completing the portion of their Entitlement and Acceptance Form which relates to their Entitlement, complete the portion of the Form relating to the Additional New Shares they wish to take up.

The number of Additional New Shares available will depend on the level of acceptance of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders and whether the Directors decide to issue the shortfall. Accordingly you may not receive the full amount or any of the Additional New Shares for which you have applied. Additional New Shares, if available, will be issued under the Shortfall Offer.

2.4 Other Investors

Investors in Australia and New Zealand other than Shareholders that wish to take up any New Shares offered on the basis of this Prospectus not taken up by Shareholders must complete a Shortfall Application Form.

The number of New Shares available will depend on the level of acceptance of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders, number of Additional New Shares they wish to take up and whether the Directors decide to issue the shortfall.

Shortfall Application Forms will be provided to investors on request. Refer to the Shortfall Application Form for instructions on its completion.

2.5

Entitlements not taken up

If you decide to take up only part of your Entitlement or not to accept any of your Entitlement, your Entitlement will lapse to that extent and may be placed by the Directors within 3 months after the close of the Offer under the Shortfall Offer.

4. Risks

As with all investments, investors should be aware that the market price of securities in Ramelius may fall as well as rise. The potential returns of Ramelius will be exposed to risks specific to Ramelius and to general investment risks. While it is impossible to identify all risks, the attention of investors is drawn to the following particular risks. Shareholders should carefully consider all risks including the following, as well as other information contained in this Prospectus.

Page 15 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

4.1 Key risks

Future capital requirements

Ramelius may require additional capital to fund further exploration /development of its existing or new projects. Ramelius’ ability to raise sufficient further capital within an acceptable time frame and on terms acceptable to it will vary according to a number of factors including (without limitation) the prospects of new projects (if any), the results of exploration and subsequent feasibility studies, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities.

Exploration and development

Exploration by its nature contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate success depends on the discovery of economically recoverable resources, obtaining the necessary titles and governmental regulatory approvals and obtaining and servicing of funding for mining operations if and when a decision to mine is made.

There can be no assurance that Ramelius’ existing projects or any other projects or tenements that it may acquire in the future will result in the discovery of significant resources. Even if significant resources are identified, there can be no guarantee that they will be able to be economically exploited.

The current and future operations of Ramelius, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • geological conditions;

  • limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns;

  • alterations to joint venture programmes and budgets;

  • the availability of drilling rigs and other machinery necessary for Ramelius to undertake its activities;

  • unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in ground conditions, survey, drilling and production activities;

  • mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;

  • unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and

  • prevention or restriction of access by reason of political unrest, outbreak of hostilities, and inability to obtain consents or approvals (including clearance of work programs pursuant to existing, and any future access agreements entered into with future registered Aboriginal Land Council and native title claimants).

Page 16 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when made, may change significantly when new information becomes available. In addition, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should Ramelius encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past sampling and drilling, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans altered in a way which could impact adversely on the operations of Ramelius.

4.2 Risks specific to the Company

Loss of Key Personnel

Ramelius’ success depends on the competencies of its Directors and senior management. The loss of one or more of the Directors or senior management could have a materially adverse effect on Ramelius’ business, financial position and results of operations. The resulting impact from such an event would depend on the quality of any replacement.

Native Title & Aboriginal Heritage

Some of Ramelius’ tenements are located within areas that are the subject of claims or applications for native title determination. The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and related State native title legislation and aboriginal heritage legislation may affect Ramelius’ ability to obtain access to certain of its exploration areas or to obtain mining production titles. Settling any such claims will incur costs to Ramelius. The degree to which this may impact on Ramelius’ activities will depend on a number of factors, including the status of particular tenements and their locations. At this stage, Ramelius is not able to quantify the impact, if any, of such matters on its operations.

Title

All mining tenements which Ramelius may acquire either by application, sale and purchase or farm-in are regulated by applicable state mining legislation. There is no guarantee that applications will be granted as applied for. Various conditions may also be imposed as a condition of grant. In addition the relevant minister may need to consent to any transfer of a tenement to Ramelius.

Environment

Ramelius’ projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. Many of the activities and operations of Ramelius cannot be carried out without prior approval from and compliance with all relevant authorities. Resource activities can be environmentally sensitive and can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control and losses. Ramelius intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws.

Page 17 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

Agreements with Third Parties

Ramelius is and will be subject to various contracts and agreements with third parties. There is a risk of financial failure or default by a counterparty to these arrangements. Any breach or failure may lead to penalties or termination of the relevant contract. In addition, Ramelius’ interest in the relevant subject matter may be jeopardised.

Legal Risk

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation, developments in common law, or the interpretation of legal requirements in any of the jurisdictions which govern the Company’s operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately the financial performance of the Company. In addition, there is a risk that legal action may be taken against the Company in relation to its operations.

Uninsured Loss and Liability

Exploration for, development and mining of minerals involves hazards and risks that could result in the Company incurring losses and liabilities to third parties. There is a risk the Company may not be insured against all losses or liabilities that could arise from its operations. If the Company incurs losses or liabilities which are not covered by its insurance policies, the funds available for exploration, development and mining will be reduced and the value or tenure of the Company’s assets may be at risk.

Project Acquisition Risk

At the date of this Offer, completion under the agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire the Kathleen Valley project remains subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent, principally relating to ministerial consent. If the conditions are not satisfied or validly waived, there is a risk completion under the agreement will not occur and the Company’s acquisition of the Kathleen Valley project will not proceed. The Company is not aware of any reason why completion would not occur, however, if completion does not occur funds raised under the Entitlement Issue will be used to progress the Vivien gold project and for working capital.

4.3 Risks specific to the Offer

Dilution risk

If you decide to take up only part of your Entitlement or not to accept any of your Entitlement, your Entitlement will lapse and your ownership of the Company will be diluted to that extent.

New Options

The granting by ASX for the official quotation of the New Options is not guaranteed. Further, there is no guarantee that the market price of the underlying Shares will trade above the exercise price of the New Options. Accordingly, there is a risk that the New Options could expire out of the money.

Page 18 of 24

Ramelius Resources Limited Entitlement Issue Prospectus

4.4 General risks

General Market Conditions

The price of the Shares on ASX may rise or fall due to numerous factors including:

  • general economic conditions, including inflation rates and interest rates;

  • changes in commodity prices including the price of gold;

  • variations in the local and global markets for listed shares in general, or for mining stocks in particular;

  • changes to government policy, legislation or regulation;

  • competition in the industry in which Ramelius operates; and

  • general operational and business risks.

In particular, the share prices of many companies have in recent times been subject to wide fluctuations, which in many circumstances arise by reason of matters outside the control of Ramelius, including global hostilities and tensions and the general state of the economy. Such market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the Shares.

Commodity Prices

The demand for and price of commodities is influenced by a variety of factors including the level of forward selling by producers, costs of production, general economic conditions, the level on inflation, interest rates and exchange rates.
