Dear Sir
Final Settlement with Mining Contractor and Notice under Section 708 A
The Company advises that it has settled the final amount owing of $436,083 owing to its mining contractor by placing 17.5 million shares with the contractor in full and final settlement of the debt. The settlement was originally detailed in the prospectus dated 24 June 2005 for the entitlements issue as $500,000 in cash and 35 million shares however this was changed to $820,630 in cash and 17.5 million shares.
The Directors of the Company felt it was better to conserve cash for working capital and exploration purposes.
The Company also approved the placement of 2,280,000 shares to a shareholder who was incorrectly omitted from the entitlements issue.
