Dear Shareholder
NON-RENOUNCEABLE PRO-RATA RIGHTS ISSUE
Tasman Resources N.L. (the Company ) has announced to ASX Limited ( ASX ) a non-renounceable pro-rata rights offer to Company shareholders (the Offer ).
Overview
Under the Offer the Company will issue to each eligible shareholder, at a price of $0.20 per share, one (1) new fully paid ordinary Company share for every ten (10) fully paid ordinary Company shares held by the shareholder as at 5.00pm WST on 5 October 2007 (the Record Date ). In addition, one (1) free Company option will attach to each new fully paid ordinary Company share issued under the Offer, exercisable at $0.20 at any time on or before 5.00pm WST on 31 December 2009.
In calculating entitlements under the Offer, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
If fully subscribed, the Offer will result in the issue of approximately 12,266,192 ordinary shares in the Company, and 12,266,192 Company options. All of the shares and options issued under the Offer will rank equally with the Company’s existing quoted shares and quoted options, respectively.
Funds raised from the Offer will be used:
-
firstly, to meet the expenses of the Offer; and
-
secondly, allocated to the Company’s general working capital.
The Offer is not being underwritten.
Eligibility
Only shareholders whose registered addresses are in Australia or New Zealand as at the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Offer ( Eligible Shareholders ). The Company has determined, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act ) and ASX Listing Rule 7.7, that it would be unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders whose registered addresses are outside of Australia and New Zealand ( NonResident Shareholders ) having regard to the number of Non-Resident Shareholders in each country other than Australia or New Zealand, the number and value of shares (and attaching options) that would be offered to them and the cost of complying with the legal requirements in other countries.

Non-Resident Shareholders will therefore not be entitled to participate in the Offer. Non-Resident Shareholders should contact the Company Secretary should they have any queries.
Details of the offer will be contained in an offer document, which will be mailed to all Eligible Shareholders. Eligible Shareholders should read the offer document carefully.
