FIRST RENEWAL APPLICATION UPDATE AND SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS
Issued Capital
Botswana Metals Limited has received advice from the Department of Geological Survey (“DGS”) in Botswana that applications for renewal of Prospecting Licences PL360/2008 Mmadinare and PL158/2009 Lepokole have not been granted by the DGS.
Substantial shareholders
Even though both tenements are in the grass roots exploration phase and are of low priority to the Company’s exploration program (no funds from the Company’s current Non-renounceable Rights Issue are allocated to these two PLs), the Company will object to this decision on the basis that it believes it has fulfilled the requirements for both these Prospecting Licences to be renewed.
Directors
It is important to note that neither PL360/2008 Mmadinare nor PL158/2009 Lepokole comprise areas covered by the Retention Licence applications.
Registered Office
On 26 June 2013 the Company dispatched a Replacement Prospectus and will now issue a Supplementary Prospectus to advise Shareholders entitled to participate in the Non-renounceable Rights Issue of the above matter. A copy of the Supplementary Prospectus lodged with ASIC today is attached.

1. Amendments to Replacement Prospectus
The Replacement Prospectus is amended by this Supplementary Prospectus by deleting the final paragraph under the heading “(c) Expiry of Tenements” and directly before the heading “(d) Resource and Reserve Estimates” on page 15 and replacing it with the following wording:
“Prospecting Licences PL 360/2008 Mmadinare and PL 158/2009 Lepokole expired on 30 September 2011 and renewal applications were lodged by the Company within the required timeframe. However the Company has received advice from the Department of Geological Survey (“DGS”) in Botswana that its applications for renewal of PL360/2008 and PL158/2009 have not been granted by the DGS.
Even though both tenements are in the grass roots exploration phase the Company will object to this decision on the basis that it believes it has fulfilled the requirements for these Prospecting Licences to be renewed. Potential investors should be aware that the Company’s objection may not succeed, in which case the consequences are similar to those outlined above.
It is important to note that neither PL360/2008 Mmadinare nor PL158/2009 Lepokole comprise areas covered by the Retention Licence applications.
Under Section 2.4 Application of Funds in the Replacement Prospectus no funds to be raised from the Non-renounceable Rights Issue were to be allocated to PL360/2008 or PL158/2009.”
