11 August 2016 Dear Shareholder,
The Directors of Metals X Limited (MLX or the Company) would like to invite you to participate in MLX's Share Purchase Plan (SPP).
Summary of the SPP
The SPP provides shareholders on the Company's register at the Record Date with an opportunity to subscribe for $2,500, $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 in New Shares at $1.48 per share in MLX at an attractive discount to the market price in the period prior to the date of announcement of this SPP. The Board has structured the SPP to encourage our loyal, smaller shareholders to apply and increase their shareholding in MLX.
Only shareholders of MLX with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom who are on the share register as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 3 August 2016 are afforded the opportunity to participate in the SPP. Shareholders not registered as at this date will not receive an offer under the SPP. The rights of shareholders eligible to participate under this SPP are not transferable.
The Company proposes a maximum raising of up to $15,000,000 under the SPP, comprising the issue of up to approximately 10,135,135 New Shares. The SPP is not underwritten.
The proposed use of the funds raised under the SPP together with the Placement announced on 4 August 2016 (after issue costs) is as follows:
expedite the development of additional production from several projects in both the gold and base metals divisions; and
provide additional working capital to strengthen the balance sheet and to enable MLX to pursue additional opportunities as they arise.
Terms of the SPP
The terms and conditions of the SPP are outlined in the enclosed document. By making an application to purchase shares under the SPP, you will have agreed to be bound by those terms and conditions. The right to participate in this offer under the SPP is available exclusively to persons who were registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in MLX at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date of 3 August 2016 and whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or in any other jurisdiction where, in the opinion of the Directors of MLX, it is lawful and reasonably practical for MLX to offer and issue shares under this SPP.
Eligible shareholders are entitled to apply for a maximum of $15,000 of New Shares, at the Subscription Price of $1.48 per New Share, under the SPP.
You may apply only for shares in one of the following amounts:
1,689 shares for $2,500;
3,378 shares for $5,000;
6,756 shares for $10,000; or
10,135 shares for $15,000.
Compared with the Market Price over the last five days on which trading of MLX's shares on the ASX were recorded prior to the announcement of the SPP (on 4 August 2016), the Subscription Price represents a 10.5% discount to the Average Market Price over that period.

The application period will close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 1 September 2016. Therefore, if you wish to apply for any shares under the SPP, you should follow the instructions outlined in
