2. Loan Agreement
On 8 December 2014, Alliance announced that it had entered into an agreement with Gandel Metals Pty Ltd (Gandel Metals), a company related to a director of Alliance, Mr Ian Gandel, to secure immediate access to a loan facility of $1,274,184 (Loan). The Loan is unsecured, interest free and no fees are payable in connection with it.
Gandel Metals has now agreed that the Loan will be repaid by off-setting the amount payable by Gandel Metals' related entity, Abbotsleigh Proprietary Limited (Abbotsleigh), subscribing for its full Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer. That is, conversion of the Loan is no longer conditional upon a 50% take up under the Entitlement Offer.
3. Payment of November cash call
Further as announced on 8 December 2014, Alliance advised that it had paid the November cash-call for the Four Mile Project. The payment of the cash-call was financed as follows:
Existing cash balance
|
$515,775
|
Loan funds*
|
$1,274,184
|
Total November cash-call
|
$1,789,959
|
* Being the Loan funds set out in paragraph 2 above.
As a result of the payment of the November cash-call, as at the date of this Supplementary
Prospectus Alliance has a cash balance of approximately $180,000.
4. Use of Funds
As Alliance has now paid the cash-call, the Use of Funds set out in Section 6.1 of the
Prospectus have now been revised by Alliance.
It is now proposed that the funds raised under the Offer will be used as follows:

|
Amount ($)

* If the obligation to pay this amount arises prior to completion of the Offer, Gandel Metals has indicated that it may advance loan funds to Alliance for this purpose on terms to be agreed. Should this occur, the funds raised under the Offer may then be applied in repayment of these loan funds to Gandel Metals.
If the Offer is not fully subscribed, Alliance will apply the funds raised in the order set out in the table above. If no Shareholder other than Abbotsleigh subscribes for its Entitlement (which
the Directors believe is unlikely), then only the Loan will be repaid (by the conversion of the
Loan into Abbotsleigh's full Entitlement).
Gandel Metals has also indicated that it may, subject to the Company's short term funding requirements, advance loan funds to Alliance on commercial terms (to be agreed).
In the event that circumstances change or other opportunities arise, the Directors reserve the right to vary the proposed use of funds to maximise benefits to Shareholders.

6. Additional risks
Alliance's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on Alliance's ability to generate income from its operations, Alliance may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If Alliance is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that Alliance will be able to secure any additional funding or be able
to secure funding on terms favourable to Alliance.
7. Right to Withdraw
In accordance with the Corporations Act, as the Company has lodged this Supplementary Prospectus the Company must give Shareholders who, at the date of this Supplementary Prospectus, have previously submitted an Application under the Prospectus a copy of this Supplementary Prospectus and one month to withdraw their Application and be repaid.
Any repayments made by the Company pursuant to such a Shareholder exercising their right to withdraw their Application will be made in full without interest.
A Shareholder who wishes to withdraw their Application and obtain a refund must submit a written request to the Company by post or delivery to: Alliance Resources Limited, c/- Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, GPO Box 505, Melbourne, VIC, 3001, or by facsimile at: (03) 9473 2529, so that it is received within one month of the date of this Supplementary Prospectus (i.e. by close of business on 16 January 2015). In your written request, please include the Holder Identification Number (HIN) or Securityholder Reference Number (SRN), and the full registered name and address of the Shareholding for which you wish to withdraw your Application.
Any withdrawal refunds will be paid by cheque as soon as practicable after the close of the Offer. The details for the payment of the refund cheque and address to which it should be sent as set out in the written request must correspond to the details contained in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form lodged by that Shareholder.
Other than as set out above, all other information set out in the Prospectus remains unchanged.
