Chairman’s letter

8 August 2011

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of Zambezi Resources Limited ( Zambezi ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 1 for 5 pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new Zambezi ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of A$0.02 per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).

Funding Package

On 25 July 2011, Zambezi announced that it had accepted an offer from LinQ Capital Limited as responsible entity of the LinQ Resources Fund for the provision of a secured A$10 million convertible note facility ( Facility ).

Zambezi also announced plans to undertake an equity raising to raise up to a further A$5 million by way of the Entitlement Offer. This offer booklet ( Offer Booklet ) pertains to the Entitlement Offer.

The funds raised by the Facility and the Entitlement Offer will be applied by Zambezi towards working capital and exploration and development costs associated predominantly with its Kangaluwi Copper Project. The funding package will provide the Company with valuable funding for the following:

  • Additional step out and infill drilling for resource expansion and definition at Chisawa, Kangaluwi and Kalulu deposits (Kangaluwi Project);

  • Deeper drilling of the structures for stratigraphic control as well as to determine the down dip extent of the mineralisation;

  • Testing additional oxide potential above the mineralised sulphide material with a shallow drilling program; and

  • Finalising the feasibility study for the development of the Kangaluwi Project

Zambezi anticipates that the funding will be sufficient to finalise the above activities over the ensuing 12 – 18 months.

Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that entitlements to take up New Shares ( Entitlements ) are non-transferable and will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable. Shareholders who do not take up all or any part of their Entitlements will not receive any payment or value in respect of those Entitlements not taken up and their equity interest in Zambezi will be diluted.

The Entitlement Offer is not subject to shareholder approval and will go ahead regardless of whether or not the Facility is approved by shareholders. An Entitlement Offer was considered an

2

appropriate structure to raise funds and allow all eligible shareholders to participate in the Funding Package.

Kangaluwi Project Overview

Introduction

The Kangaluwi Copper Project (100% owned) comprises of a 245 km[2] granted Mining Licence 15547-HQ-LPL located approximately 180 km east of Lusaka.

==> picture [453 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

FIG 3: MINING LICENCE 15547

Extensive soil geochemical sampling programs carried out from 2005 to 2007 covering an area of 180 km[2] identified six prospects.

Two main trends of continuous copper anomalies above 100 ppm have been delineated over a strike length of 28 km. The Kangaluwi – Kalulu – Chisawa trend occurs over a strike length of 19 km and the Chisawa – Imboo trend covers a strike length of 9 km.

FIG 4: MAP OF GEOCHEM ANOMALIES

Geological Setting

Mineralisation at the Kangaluwi Copper Project is hosted by intensely deformed and foliated metasedimentary rocks. These form part of the Zambezi supracrustal sequence located within the Zambezi belt of southern Zambia and are of Neoproterozoic age (~830 Ma). They occur north of the Zimbabwe Archean Craton and form sections of the Irumide belt. The licence falls south east of the celebrated Lufilian Arc which is host to deposits of the Zambian copper belt.

Mineralisation is structurally controlled in a sheared, east plunging regional synform, with Kangaluwi and Chisawa deposits located on the limbs of the fold and Kalulu in its nose. The metasedimentary rocks of the Kangaluwi-Chisawa copper prospects trend roughly east-southeast and dip shallowly south-west, between 30-40 degrees.

At Kangaluwi the host rocks for copper mineralisation are biotitic schist, muscovite schists, biotite- muscovite schists, garnet-biotite-muscovite schists, amphibolites, epidosites, quartzite, pegmatite and graphitic shale. These lithological units are often interbedded and in places may display gradational contacts.

At Chisawa the host rocks for copper mineralisation are biotitic schist, muscovite schists, biotite muscovite schists, garnet biotite muscovite schists, amphibolites, epidosites quartzite, quartz and pegmatite veins and graphitic shales. These lithological units are often interbedded and in places may display gradational contacts.

Mineralisation at Kangaluwi and Chisawa consists of chalcopyrite, bornite, malachite, azurite and secondary chrysocolla an upper oxide zone.

Exploration History

During 2006 24 RC holes were completed at Kangaluwi over an 800 m strike length and at Chisawa over a strike length of 2,600 m.

During 2007, 15,459 m of RC drilling and 4,469 m of diamond drilling were completed at Kangaluwi over a 3 km strike length.

RC drilling returned significant copper mineralisation over substantial width in multiple zones which broaden at depth including 18 m at 1.42% Cu from 114 m, 17 m at 1.2% Cu from 49 m, 10 m at 1.97% Cu from 30 m.

Diamond drilling confirmed down dip continuity of mineralisation with results including 19.2 m at 1.14% Cu from 92 m, 8.07 m at 2.98% Cu from 145.34 m, 6.14 m at 1.29% Cu from 157.68 m, 7.32 m at 1.4% Cu from 161 m.

==> picture [452 x 310] intentionally omitted <==

FIG 5: KANGALUWI

During 2008 71 RC holes for 17,058 m and 18 DD holes for 5,372 m were completed at Kangaluwi, 63 RC holes for 10,011 m at Chisawa and 20 RC holes for 2,560 m at Kalulu over a strike length of 1.3 km.

FIG 6: CROSS SECTION CHISAWA 12000E

In May 2008 the Company completed a major regional Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (VTEM) over the Kangaluwi Project area. Some 1,810 line kilometres were flown at a line spacing of 150 m, with further infill at 75 m in the Kangaluwi – Chisawa – Kalulu area.

Interpretation of data from the VTEM survey in conjunction with assay results providing confidence in a strong correlation between distinct trends in the VTEM data and the location of higher grade copper mineralisation.

Mineral Resource Estimate

Based on previous exploration an Indicated Mineral Resource has been estimated of 8.9 Mt grading 0.78% Cu for 69,000 tonnes of contained copper at Kangaluwi prospect and at Chisawa an Inferred Mineral Resource has been estimated at 14.5 Mt grading 0.90% Cu for 130,824 tonnes of contained Cu.

The JORC compliant resources estimates for Kangaluwi and Chisawa is 23.4 Mt grading 0.85% Cu for 200,575 tonnes of contained copper.

At this stage the resource estimates do not include any resources from the Kalulu prospect and so far only about 27% of the 28 km strike length has been drill tested.

Current Exploration at Kalulu & Chisawa

Zambezi’s current DD drilling campaign of 13,000 m focuses on Chisawa and Kalulu Prospects.

At Chisawa prospect a total of 32 DD holes for some 6,400 m will be drilled over a 3 km mineralised zone. This program will increase the resource confidence and advance classification to an Indicated category.

Assay Results Received To-date From the Current Diamond Drilling Program

Kalulu Prospect

All budgeted 38 DD holes for 6,640 m were drilled at Kalulu. Kalulu is interpreted to lie at the nose of the east-plunging fold. Sulphide mineralisation is structurally controlled in a sheared, regional east-plunging syncline. Kalulu’s strike length of 1.2 km was drilled at 100 m intervals, both between and along RC drill sections. This will result in a 50 m x 50 m grid drill coverage and should advance the Kalulu resource to Indicated Mineral Resource category.

Results received are from 6 DD holes drilled along sections 10100E, 10150E and 10200E and significant intersections are shown below.

Assay results at Kalulu so far confirm the wider intersections normally associated with the hinge zone of folds, where low pressure zones are conductive to metal deposition. It is comforting to note that all 6 holes intercepted mineralisation at multiple depths suggesting several more ore chutes than previously interpreted.

Chisawa Prospect

A total of 5,063 m have been drilled at Chisawa or 25 DD holes from a total of 32 DD holes budgeted for a Phase I drilling program, across a 3 km mineralised zone. With collars designed at 200 m intervals, a 100 m x 100 m grid drill coverage will be realised when combined with existing RC drilling. The principal aim of this infill program is to increase mineral resource confidence and advance the resource classification, ideally to an Indicated category.

Results received are from 5 DD holes drilling along sections 10200E, 10400E and 10600E, and significant intersections are indicated herewith.

Collectively these assay sample results for Chisawa and Kalulu Prospects confirm the strike and down-dip extension of mineralisation as indicated in previous assays of drilling samples.

Planned Exploration at Kangaluwi Project

The Company plans to drill 10,000 m of deep DD holes over the Kangaluwi Project to test the down dip/plunge continuation of the three prospects (Figures 13 & 14 Kangaluwi and Chisawa).

Use of Funds and Anticipated Timeline

Current cash on hand, the funds from Tranche 1 of the Convertible Note Facility and the Rights Issue proceeds will be used as follows:

Q3 2011 – Q3 2012
Drilling RC and DD Program
Resource Estimates
Feasibility Drilling Program
Hydrological, Geotechnical and Metallurgical
Test-work
Q2 2012 – Q4 2012
Bankable Feasibility Study
Q1 2013
Capital Raising and Development
$10 million
$2 million

The company’s convertible note facility with LinQ Resources Fund (LRF) includes a condition that the Rights Issue raise at least $4 million.

The company intends to secure underwriting commitments for the Rights Issue to take up any shortfall not taken up by eligible shareholders.

If the company is unable to secure underwriting commitments for the entire shortfall, the directors have reserved the right to place the shortfall to any eligible shareholders whose acceptance exceeds their entitlement as shown on their acceptance form for the Rights Issue, or to any other parties selected by the directors.

If the company is still unable to raise the $4 million required by the convertible note facility, then it may not have access to the funds that would otherwise be provided under that facility. This will materially impact on its ability to implement its plans in the manner set out above.

Other Assets

The Company intends to spin out its uranium prospects held by its wholly owned subsidiary Chalimbana Resources Limited into a new ASX listing and Zambezi shareholders may get a preferential allocation of IPO subscription shares.

Mpande Limestone Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mwembeshi Resources Limited (MRL) holds two tenements with a high quality limestone resource, close to the town of Chilanga, a wellknown limestone and cement producing area. The aim is to quarry the limestone to produce high quality metallurgical lime and other industrial commodity chemicals to supply Zambia’s Copperbelt and construction industry.

The Company has a 49% interest in Cheowa Resources Limited (Cheowa), a joint venture company with Glencore International AG (Glencore) who owns 51% (after spending $16 million on the tenements). Cheowa has three prospects, Cheowa (6 Mt @ 1% Cu), Chayinda (3.3 Mt @ 2.1% Cu) and Chalimbana (5.3 Mt @ 0.8% Cu). Glencore is currently planning drilling programs and budgets to further the project development.

Summary

  • The Company drilled some 45,000 m RC and 10,000 m DD holes based on geochemical and geophysical studies

  • The resource to date is estimated at 23.4 Mt grading 0.85% Cu for 200,000 t of contained copper from Kangaluwi and Chisawa, not including Kalulu estimated at 11 Mt @ 0.89% Cu for 98,000 tonnes of contained copper

  • The current and planned drilling program of +/- 28,000 m will establish a new resource estimate for Cu and gold as a base for the Bankable Feasibility Study

  • Proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Convertible Note facilities will provide the Company with sufficient funding to finalise the Feasibility Study for the development of the Kangaluwi Copper Project over the ensuing 12 - 18 months.

Key Risks

The principal risks associated with an investment in Zambezi include, but are not limited to, those detailed below.

Exploration and development risk

Exploration is a high risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time. Currently, there are no defined mineral reserves on Zambezi’s projects. Zambezi intends to use funds raised under the Rights Issue to fund exploration programs to confirm the drilling results set out in this presentation. There can be no guarantee that the planned exploration programs will lead to the discovery of a commercial deposit or a commercial mining operation.

While Zambezi’s estimates comply with the JORC Code, the exploration results presented are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice, and may require revisions following further exploration and future production experience. Estimates valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Sovereign risk

Zambezi is pursuing projects in Africa and so is subject to the risks associated with operating in that region of the world. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety, labour relations as well as government control over mineral properties or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in African countries that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities may affect the viability and profitability of Zambezi and its projects.

No profit to date

It is not possible to evaluate Zambezi’s prospects based on past performance. Since Zambezi intends to continue investing in its exploration and development program, the board anticipates that Zambezi may make losses in the foreseeable future.

24

Zambezi Resources Limited Kangaluwi Copper Project

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

While the board has confidence in Zambezi’s future revenue-earning potential, there can be no certainty that Zambezi will achieve or sustain profitability or achieve or sustain positive cash flow from its operating activities.

Title risk

The tenements in which Zambezi has an interest are subject to various conditions, obligations and terms. If renewal is required this may be at the discretion of the relevant government minister or official. In addition, Zambezi will have to receive regulatory and environmental approval to convert its prospecting licences into production tenements. There is a risk that these approvals may not be obtained. If approval for renewal or conversion is refused, Zambezi will suffer a loss of the opportunity to undertake further exploration and/or exploitation of the tenement.

Commodity price and exchange rate risk

The revenue Zambezi may derive through the sale of copper and other commodities, should it be successful through its exploration activities, exposes its potential income to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of Zambezi. These factors include, among others, supply and demand fluctuations for precious metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macroeconomic factors. Further, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of Zambezi are and will be taken into account in United States dollars, exposing Zambezi to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange.

Operational risk

Zambezi’s operations may be affected by various factors which are beyond its control. These include a failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration or mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, commissioning or operating plant, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond its control. These risks could also result in damage to production facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, and possible legal liability.

Future capital needs

Further funding of projects may be required by Zambezi to support its on-going activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of Zambezi and, consequently, its performance. A failure to meet cash calls would result in default in joint venture obligations which, if not remedied, could result in forfeiture of permits or concessions.

Share price variations

The shares offered under the Rights Issue are to be quoted on ASX, where their price may rise or fall in relation to the Offer Price. The shares issued under the Rights Issue carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which they may trade on ASX. The value of the shares will be determined by the market and will be subject to a range of factors beyond the control of Zambezi and its directors and officers. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the demand for and availability of shares, movements in domestic interest rates, exchange rates, fluctuations in stock markets and general domestic and economic activity. Returns from an investment in the shares may also depend on general stock market conditions as well as the performance of Zambezi. There can be no guarantee that an active market in the shares will develop or that the market price of the shares will not decline below the Offer Price.

Economic factors

Changes in economic and business conditions or government policies in Australia, Bermuda, Zambia or internationally may affect the fundamentals which underpin the projected growth of

25

Zambezi Resources Limited Kangaluwi Copper Project

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

Zambezi’s target markets or its costs structure and profitability. Adverse changes in such things as the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, government policy (including fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies), consumer spending and employment rates, among others, are outside the control of Zambezi and may result in material adverse impacts on the business or its operating results.

Regulatory risk

Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administrative regimes and government policies both in Bermuda and overseas may adversely affect the financial performance of Zambezi. Any change to the current rate of company income tax in jurisdictions where Zambezi operates will impact on shareholder returns. Any change to the current rates of income tax applying to individuals and trusts will similarly impact on shareholder returns. In addition, any change in tax arrangements between jurisdictions could have an adverse impact on profit margins and any future dividends.

Zambezi intends to raise approximately A$15 million through the Funding Package, which comprises the Entitlement Offer and the Facility.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary Zambezi shares from their date of issue.

2 The Entitlement Offer

Eligible Shareholders (as defined in the “Important Information” section below) are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 Zambezi ordinary shares ( Shares ) held at 5:00pm (Perth time) on 16 August 2011 ( Entitlement ), at the offer price of $0.02 per New Share ( Offer Price ).

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ). Please note that Additional New Shares will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders, if and to the extent that Zambezi so determines in its absolute discretion, having regard to the circumstances as at the time of the close of the Entitlement Offer. Any Additional New Shares will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements or from New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they had been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. Zambezi may apply any scale-back (in its absolute discretion).

The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to provisions of the Corporations Act which allow rights issues to be offered without a prospectus. As a result, it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on Zambezi and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available before taking up all or part of their Entitlement or applying for Additional New Shares.

In particular, please refer to this booklet, Zambezi’s interim and annual reports and other announcements made available at the ASX website, www.asx.com.au (including the Zambezi Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 30 June 2010 that was released to ASX on 29 July 2011).

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 5 Shares you held as at the Record Date of 5:00pm (Perth time) on 16 August 2011. If you have more than one holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. All New Shares (including any Additional New Shares) issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with issued Shares.

3 Consider the Entitlement Offer in light of your particular investment objectives and circumstances

Please consult with your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspects of the Entitlement Offer.

27

You should also refer to the “Key Risks” section of the investor presentation released to ASX on 8 August 2011 and included in this Offer Booklet.

  • for an amount equal to A$0.02 multiplied by the number of New Shares (including any Additional New Shares) that you are applying for; and

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies as your cheques will be processed on the day of receipt. If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your application will not be accepted.

Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares and Additional New Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable after the close of the Entitlement Offer. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.

The Entitlement Offer complies with the requirements of section 708AA of the Corporations Act as notionally modified by ASIC Class Orders [CO 07/571] and [CO 08/35]. Neither this Offer Booklet nor the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, these documents do not contain all of the information which a prospective investor may require to make an investment decision. They do not, and are not required to, contain all of the information which would otherwise be required to be disclosed in a prospectus. They are not required to be, and will not be, lodged with ASIC. This Offer Booklet should be read in conjunction with Zambezi’s other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements to the ASX available at www.asx.com.au.

The New Shares being offered under this booklet are being offered to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (NZ). This booklet is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law, and may not contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

2 Continuous disclosure

Zambezi is a ‘disclosing entity’ under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half-yearly reports.

Zambezi is required to notify the ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of the ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by the ASX. In particular, Zambezi has an obligation under the ASX Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify the ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its shares. That information is available to the public from the ASX.

3 Eligible Shareholders

The information in this booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders in Australia or New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act as notionally modified by ASIC Class Orders [CO 07/571] and [CO 08/35].

Eligible Shareholders are those holders of Shares who:

  • are registered as a holder of Shares as at 5:00pm (Perth time) on 16 August 2011;

  • have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;

  • are not in the United States and are neither a U.S. Person nor acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; and

  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.

4 Additional New Shares

Zambezi reserves the right to allot any Additional New Shares to the extent that Zambezi so determines in its absolute discretion, having regard to the circumstances as at the time of the close of the Entitlement Offer. Any New Shares in excess of Entitlements will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements or from New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they had been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

If you apply for Additional New Shares then, subject to Zambezi’s absolute discretion to scale-back your application for Additional New Shares (in whole or part), you will be issued these on 13 September 2011. Zambezi’s decision on the number of Additional New Shares to be allocated to you will be final.

5 No cooling off rights

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot, in most circumstances, withdraw your application for New Shares once it has been accepted.

33

6 No Entitlements trading

Entitlements are non-renounceable and cannot be traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be privately transferred.

7 Not investment advice

The information in this booklet is not a prospectus under the Corporations Act and has not been lodged with ASIC. Neither is it financial product advice, and it has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs. Zambezi is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of the New Shares. The information in this booklet does not purport to contain all the information that you may require to evaluate a possible application for New Shares.

Before deciding whether to apply for New Shares, you should consider whether they are a suitable investment for you in light of your own investment objectives and financial circumstances and having regard to the merits or risks involved. If, after reading the information in this booklet, you have any questions about the Entitlement Offer, you should contact your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser.

8 Taxation

Taxation implications will vary depending on the individual circumstances of individual investors. You should obtain your own professional advice before deciding whether to invest.

9 Rounding of Entitlements

Where fractions arise in the calculation of Entitlements, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
