Dear Shareholder
STRATEGIC MINERALS CORPORATION N.L. - PRO-RATA RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
Strategic Minerals Corporation N.L. (ACN 008 901 380) (Company) is undertaking a pro rata renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (Shares) for every twenty (20) Shares on issue at the record date (Rights Issue or Offer). The price of New Shares under the Offer is $0.021 each (Issue Price). For the purposes of calculating entitlements under the Offer fractions will be rounded upwards to the nearest whole number of Shares. The Company lodged a prospectus for the Offer (Prospectus) with ASIC and ASX on 16 October 2015. The Offer is proposed to raise up to approximately $866,432 (based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).
The Offer is being made to all shareholders of the Company (Shareholders) named on its register of members at 5pm (WST) on 23 October 2015 (Record Date), whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand (Eligible Shareholders).
Shares issued under the Offer (New Shares) will rank equally with all Shares already on issue. The Prospectus contains further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares.
The Company has applied to ASX for quotation of the New Shares. If approval of this application is not obtained from ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any New Shares and will refund all application monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest paid to the applicants.
A copy of the Prospectus is available on ASX's and Company's website. Eligible Shareholders will be mailed a Prospectus together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form no later than 28 October 2015. Your entitlement will be set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying the Prospectus.
Actions required of Eligible Shareholders
There are a number of actions Eligible Shareholders may take:
-
You may take up all or some of your rights to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Prospectus (Entitlements). To take up all or some of your Entitlements you will need to ensure your application money for the Entitlements you wish to take up is received by Security Transfer Registrars Pty Ltd (Share Registry) by no later than 5.00pm (WST) on 12 November 2015, by either completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with your application money or making a payment by BPAY in accordance with the instructions on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Dear Shareholder
STRATEGIC MINERALS CORPORATION N.L. - PRO-RATA RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
Strategic Minerals Corporation N.L. (ACN 008 901 380) (Company) is undertaking a pro rata renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (Shares) for every twenty (20) Shares on issue at the record date at an issue price of $0.021 per Share (Rights Issue or Offer). For the purposes of calculating entitlements under the Offer fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares. The Company lodged a prospectus for the Offer (Prospectus) with ASIC and ASX on 16 October 2015. The Offer is proposed to raise approximately $866,432 (based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).
The Offer is being made to all shareholders of the Company (Shareholders) named on its register of members at 5.00PM (WST) on 12 November 2015 (Record Date), whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.
Ineligible shareholders
A Shareholder at the Record Date who has a registered address outside Australia and New Zealand (Ineligible Shareholder) will not be eligible to participate in the Offer.
You are not eligible to participate in the Offer and you will not be sent a copy of the Prospectus. This decision has been made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules after taking into consideration the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand compared with the small number of Ineligible Shareholders and the number and value of New Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled.
The Company has appointed Patersons Securities Limited (Nominee) as nominee to sell the rights to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Prospectus (Entitlements) to which Ineligible Shareholders are entitled. The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements may be sold and the manner of any such sale.
Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to Ineligible Shareholders.
The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company.
Notwithstanding that the Nominee may sell Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.
There is no guarantee that the Nominee will be able to sell Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders on ASX and Ineligible Shareholders may receive no value for the Entitlements. Both the Company and the Nominee take no responsibility for the outcome of the sale of such Entitlements or the failure to sell such Entitlements.
If you have any queries concerning the Rights Issue, please contact your financial adviser or Jay Stephenson, the Company Secretary, on +61 8 6141 3500.
Yours sincerely
Jay Stephenson Company Secretary
