Dear Sir,
Re: Proposed rights entitlement issue
The directors of Goldsearch Limited advise that they propose an underwritten rights entitlement issue of shares and options to raise additional working capital of approximately \$1.4 million net.
It is proposed to offer shareholders a non-renounceable entitlement to apply for a package of one new share and one attached option, at an issue price of 4 cents per share and option package, for every four existing fully paid shares held.
Each option to be issued will entitle the holder to subscribe for one new fully paid share in the Company at 8 cents per share at any time prior to expiry of the option on 30 September 2005.
Underwriting arrangements and the issue timetable are currently being finalised.
A preliminary Appendix 3B is enclosed setting out the terms of the issue as they are currently known. This will be updated in due course.
For and on behalf of Goldsearch Limited
