EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM ENTERTAINMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders in Tanami Gold NL ("Company" or "Tanami Gold") in connection with the general meeting to be held on 5 January 2004 at 8:30 a.m WST.
The Company seeks approval for the allotment of 25,000,000 Shares as part consideration for the acquisition of the Western Tanami Project from AngloGold.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION - ACQUISITION OF WESTERN TANAMI PROJECT 2.
The Company recently announced that it was the successful bidder of AngloGold's Western Tanami Project, which hosts the high quality Coyote gold deposit (taking the Company's total resources in the Western Tanami to 572,000 ounces of gold). In addition to the Coyote gold deposit, the Project comprises a number of exploration licences and applications together with an established exploration camp and associated equipment.
The Directors are strongly of the view that there is significant potential to add to the Coyote resource given the presence of high grade intersections, particularly at depth. In addition, numerous ore grade intersections returned at prospects outside the resource provide immediate drill targets which could lead to additional ounces.
Importantly, strong synergy is achieved through combining the Western Tanami Project resources and tenements with Tanami Gold's existing resources at Larranganni and its large tenement holdings in the Tanami-Arunta Province. The combined Coyote and Larranganni resources provide a strong base for Tanami Gold to commence gold production in the Tanami.
Cash flow from operations will also enable Tanami Gold to further explore depth extensions to identified resources, continue regional exploration and contribute to its joint ventures with Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Mining Corporation.
AngloGold has demonstrated strong support for Tanami Gold's acquisition of the Western Tanami Project through electing to take part of the consideration for the sale in Tanami Gold shares rather than cash. AngloGold will voluntarily escrow its Tanami Gold shares for a minimum twelve month period following settlement in January 2004. AngloGold will become Tanami Gold's largest shareholder with 11.6% of the Company's issued ordinary shares following settlement.
Based on the Indicated Resource classification of the Coyote and Larranganni resources as estimated by Tanami Gold (see below), the Company will immediately commence a bankable feasibility study leading to the development of the Coyote Project.
| Project | Indicated | Inferred | Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ounces | Ounces | Ounces | |||||||
| Tonnes | Grade | Au | Tonnes | Grade | Au | Tonnes | Grade | Au | |
| Coyote | 2,240,000 | 5.4 | 389,000 | 130,000 | 5.5 | 23,000 | 2,370,000 | 5.4 | 412,000 |

TANAMI GOLD NL MINERAL RESOURCE SUMMARY *
* This information, so far as it pertains to Ore Reserves or Identified Mineral Resources is based on and accurately reflects, information compiled by members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and/or the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, each of whom has had at least five years relevant experience in relation to the mineralisation being reported on to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

The terms of the Western Tanami Project acquisition are set out below.
Tanami Gold shall pay AngloGold consideration comprised of the following:
- a non-refundable deposit of A\$250,000;
- A\$3.75 million on the completion date, which will be on or before 16 January 2004 ("Completion Date");
- the issue to AngloGold (or its nominee) of 25 million fully paid ordinary shares in Tanami Gold, at an issue price of \$0.20 on the Completion Date;
- A\$5.0 million, which payment shall be made within 120 days of the Completion Date; and
- the payment of a royalty as follows:
- for production of between 300 001 and 400 000 ounces of Produced Gold, Tanami Gold $(i)$ will pay a royalty of A\$15.00 per ounce of Produced Gold;
- $(ii)$ for production of Produced Gold from 400 001 ounces to 500 000 ounces, Tanami Gold will pay a royalty of A\$10.00 per ounce of Produced Gold; and
- for production of Produced Gold from 500 001 ounces to 1 million ounces, Tanami Gold $(iii)$ will pay a royalty of A\$5.00 per ounce of Produced Gold. The royalty payment is capped at 1 million ounces of Produced Gold.
For the purposes of this royalty obligation, "Produced Gold" means
- In the event a new Coyote/Larranganni mill is built ("New Mill"), all gold milled by that mill $(i)$ and attributable to Tanami Gold, together with any gold produced from ore mined from any of the tenements in the Western Tanami Project ("Western Tanami Project Gold"), irrespective of where the same is milled (in the event that any Western Tanami Project Gold is not milled in the New Mill); and
- In the event the New Mill is not built, any gold produced from ore mined from any tenements in $(ii)$ the Western Australian Tanami region and attributable to Tanami Gold.
RESOLUTION 1 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES 3.
Subject to certain exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing securities without shareholder approval in any 12 month period where the number of securities issued would exceed 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities in the company 12 months prior to the proposed issue.
Whilst the proposed issue of 25,000,000 Shares the subject of Resolution 1 would not of itself exceed 15% of the Company's issued capital, if the proposed issue is not approved by shareholders then the ability of the Company to make or agree to make new issues of securities, whether to raise further working capital or to fund other project acquisitions, would be restricted.
Shareholder approval is therefore sought pursuant to Resolution 1 and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3 to refresh the Company's ability to issue securities within the 15% limit.
Listing Rule 7.3 sets out the information required to be disclosed to shareholders when seeking this approval. The information set out below is intended to satisfy this requirement:
- The maximum number of securities to be issued is 25,000,000 Shares. $(a)$
- $(b)$ The Shares will be issued on or before 16 January 2004, and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting.
- $(c)$ The Shares will be issued at an issue price of 20 cents each.
- $(d)$ The Shares will be issued and allotted to AngloGold Australia Limited (or its nominee).
- $(e)$ The Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares.
- $(f)$ The share allotment is in part satisfaction of the consideration payable to AngloGold for the acquisition of the Western Tanami Project. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of Shares.

Directors' Recommendation
The Board believes that refreshing the Company's ability to issue shares within the 15% limit is in the best interests of the Company, thereby maintaining its flexibility to make placements of securities without seeking Shareholder approval if the need or opportunity arises. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.
