Dear Shareholder

Ramelius Resources Limited Non-renounceable Entitlements Issue

On 24 June 2014, Ramelius Resources Limited (“Ramelius”) announced a placement of Shares to sophisticated and professional investors (“Placement”) and a one for four pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue (“Entitlement Issue”) to progress the Company’s high grade gold projects.

Under the Entitlement Issue, Ramelius is seeking to raise approximately $6.5 million through the issue of up to 99,512,019 new fully paid ordinary shares in Ramelius (“New Shares”) and one free option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for. The proceeds from the Entitlement Issue will primarily be used to advance the Kathleen Valley and Vivien high grade gold projects

With the final $4.5 million payment 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.

RAMELIUS RESOURCES LIMITED

Both these new 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.

  • take up all your entitlement and apply for additional shares;

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

  • • do nothing and allow all your Entitlement to lapse.

The Directors reserve the right to issue any Shortfall in subscription for New Shares at their discretion within three months after the Closing Date. If the Directors elect to issue any Shortfall, the Shortfall offer will remain open after the Closing Date.

The Prospectus together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be mailed to all eligible shareholders on Friday, 11 July 2014. Other key dates which shareholders should note are as follows.

The directors of Ramelius are excited about the potential benefits which the Vivien and Kathleen Valley gold projects offer and are pleased to provide eligible shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the Entitlement Issue.

Yours faithfully
