EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 103 Abernethy Road, Belmont, Western Australia 6104 on 16 September 2011 at 10:00 am WST.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution.

1. RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF 14,139,850 SHARES

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue and allotment of 14,139,850 Shares that your Directors issued at an issue price of $0.32 per Share, on 8 August 2011.

Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.

The exception to this rule contained in Listing Rule 7.4 provides an issue made within the 15% limit will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 if subsequently approved by shareholders, thereby ‘refreshing’ the company’s ability to issue shares within the 15% limit, and restoring the company’s ability to make placements within that limit (if that is thought desirable) without the need for shareholder approval.

While the Shares described in this Resolution 1 have been issued within the 15% limit, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of those Shares for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4 so that the Company’s ability to issue securities will be ‘refreshed’ and it will have flexibility to issue further securities should the need or opportunity arise.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the ratification of the issue of the Pre-consolidation Shares the subject of this Resolution 1:

  • (a) the number of Shares issued and allotted was 14,139,850;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.32 per Share, which raised $4,524,752 for the Company, before issue costs;

  • (c) The 14,139,850 Shares rank pari passu with the Company’s existing issued Shares;

  • (d) the allottees of the Shares were determined by the manager of the issue, Veritas Securities Limited, and the Shares were issued to investors who qualified as professional or sophisticated investors (no related party of the Company participated in the issue); and

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be applied towards paying the final instalment (being US$2,062,500) for the acquisition of 3 rod mills and as general working capital that will be directed towards

5

securing the remaining Buena Vista Project’s permits and the undertaking of detailed engineering design work as a precursor to finalising the Project’s EPC contract.

RICHMOND MINING LIMITED ABN 98 123 423 987 Instructions for Completing Proxy Form

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed:

  • deliver the proxy form by hand to the Company’s office at 103 Abernethy Road, Belmont, Western Australia 6104;

  • mail the proxy form to the Company’s office at PO Box 566, Belmont, Western Australia, 6984; or

  • send the proxy form by facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9277 6818,

so that it is received not later than 10:00 am WST on 14 September 2011.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
