Dear Shareholder
Share Purchase Plan
Santana Minerals Limited (ABN 37 161 946 989) (Company) announced a A$60 million
placement to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of A$0.58 per new fully
paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (New Share) on Monday, 11 August 2025
(Placement). The Placement completed on Monday, 18 August 2025.
Your Directors are pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan
(SPP). The SPP provides each Eligible Shareholder (defined below) an opportunity to apply
for up to ~A$30,000 worth of New Shares (subject to any scale back) at the same issue price
as the Placement, without incurring brokerage or transaction costs. Participation in the SPP is
optional.
Issue price
The issue price of A$0.58 for each New Share relative to the Company’s ASX share price up
to and including Wednesday, 6 August 2025 (being the day prior to the trading halt request for
the Placement) represented:
• a 1.6% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP);
• a 3.3% discount to the 5-day VWAP; and
• a 7.9% discount to the last completed ASX price of A$0.63 on Wednesday, 6 August
2025.
The issue price is in an Australian dollar amount, but Eligible Shareholders may apply in New
Zealand dollars. Further details are set out in the SPP terms and conditions.
Scale back and refunds
The Company is targeting to raise up to a maximum of A$3 million (before costs) under the
SPP. The SPP is not underwritten and there is no guarantee that the Company will raise the
targeted amount.
If demand from Eligible Shareholders is greater than the A$3 million sought, the Company will
undertake a scale back of applications for New Shares to the extent required, with a focus on
proportionality to underlying holdings as at the Record Date (but without limiting the
Company’s discretion, also taking into account, among other factors, the number of Eligible
Shareholders participating or the number of New Shares applied for under the SPP).
If there is a scale back, the difference between the application monies received from you, and
the number of New Shares allocated to you multiplied by the issue price, will be refunded to
you, without interest, as soon as practicable by direct credit to your nominated account (as
recorded with the share registry) or via cheque to the address recorded with the share registry.
Share Purchase Plan 2
Further details of the impact of any scale back are set out in section 10 of the SPP terms and
conditions which accompanies this letter.
Use of proceeds
Proceeds from the Placement and SPP, together with existing cash, are proposed to be
applied towards advancing the Bendigo Ophir Gold Project in New Zealand, potential
acquisition of freehold lands directly impacted by the proposed mining operations and the
completion of access agreements, further exploration of high-priority, near-mine and regional
targets, including drilling and for general working capital and costs of the Placement and SPP.
Further details of the use of proceeds are set out in the ASX announcement dated Monday,
11 August 2025.
Participation in the SPP
To be eligible to participate in the SPP, you must:
•have been a shareholder at the Record Date (7:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 8
August 2025);
•have had a registered address in Australia or New Zealand; and
•not be located in the United States and not be acting for the account or benefit of a
person in the United States,
(Eligible Shareholder).
The SPP provides Eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to acquire a parcel of up to
~A$30,000 worth of New Shares in the Company (subject to any scale back), without the cost
of brokerage or commission, which may increase smaller holdings into larger and more
financially viable parcels.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for New Shares in the following amounts:
Application amount Number of New Shares
A$2,610 4,500 New Shares
A$4,930 8,500 New Shares
A$10,150 17,500 New Shares
A$15,080 26,000 New Shares
A$20,010 34,500 New Shares
A$24,940 43,000 New Shares
A$29,986 51,700 New Shares
Subject to any scale back, the number of New Shares that will be allotted to you will be
determined by dividing your application amount by the issue price, rounded down to the
nearest whole New Share.

The Directors of the Company who are Eligible Shareholders may participate in the SPP
(without having to obtain shareholder approval) on the same terms as all other Eligible
Shareholders in the Company. The Directors who are Eligible Shareholders have indicated
