For more information please click on related link under Investor Information - Announcements

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quarterly Activity Report for Period Ended 31 December 2007

During the December 2007 quarter the Company made significant progress both operationally and corporately. The Bronzewing Gold Project moved towards achieving a steady state of operation with 10,300 ounces produced in December. View also considered a range of alternative financing options to the current bank debt in order to best place the Company going forward and has entered into an agreement with JV partner Mincor to sell View’s 30% stake in Carnilya Hill.

 

As a result, View is now positioning itself to take full advantage of the current gold market, by being totally debt free, unhedged, and moving to steady state production.

View Sells 30% Stake in Carnilya Hill

View Resources Ltd (ASX: VRE) is pleased to announce the signing of a Heads of Agreement for the sale of its 30% stake in the Carnilya Hill Nickel Project to Mincor Resources NL in a package totalling $25 million.

 

The deal will see View become completely debt free enabling the Company to focus on the Bronzewing Gold Project as full production is achieved at an annualised 120,000 ounces.

 

View’s Managing Director Tim Gooch said, “This is a very good outcome for View, particularly as the gold price continues to climb to record highs with our company completely unhedged.  We are looking to focus the future growth of the Company on our 100% owned Bronzewing gold mine, which produced 10,300 oz in December 2007”.

Exploration Success at Bronzewing

View Resources (ASX: VRE) is pleased to announce that good grade intercepts from the preliminary composite assays have been returned in three of the four RC (reverse circulation) holes drilled on the Karra project at the company’s Bronzewing gold mine.  These results include:

 

  • 12 metres at 1.45g/t;
  • 8 metres at 6.06g/t;
  • 4 metres at 6.05g/t; and
  • 4 metres at 4.21g/t.

 

Follow up RC drilling at Katherine Well has also identified broad zones of mineralisation including 67 metres at 0.53g/t providing encouragement that high grade shoots could be developed within this structure that has already been identified to extend over one kilometre. Earlier RAB drilling results included 4 metres at 7.5 g/t.

Company Update Presentation for Placement of Shares

The following presentation was made by View Resources to institutional and sophisticated investors as part of the recent placement of 53 million shares.

For more information please click on related link under Investor Information - Presentations

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

View Raises $10.6 Million

View Resources Limited (View) has today received commitments to place 53 million new shares at 20c for $10.6 million to provide the Company with sufficient short term contingency funding for the Bronzewing operation as well as cover the recent unbudgeted cost of de-hedging. These funds were placed within the Company’s remaining 15% as per ASX listing rule 7.1 and are not therefore subject to shareholder approval.

 

The placement, which was over-subscribed, was taken up by institutional and sophisticated investors who took part in the July 2008 placement both in Australia and the United Kingdom, where the Company has built up a strong support base over the past year.  Both of View’s major shareholders, Austral-Asia Resources and Infrastructural Investments Pty Ltd, a member of the IMC Resources Group, and Lion Selection Limited continue to support the Company and have participated in this placement.

Bronzewing Performance Update

View Resources (ASX: VRE) is pleased to report that the ramp up to full operational production at the Bronzewing Gold Project is nearing completion.  Many of the key operational issues have now been overcome as the Company drives towards the monthly 10,000 oz target that equates to the annualised production figure of 120,000 oz, making Bronzewing a substantial Australian gold producer.

 

Bronzewing now has ore presenting from five sources, the two underground declines Discovery and Calista, and three pits, Venus, Success and Central, with the resultant increase in stockpiles available. Operationally, both underground contractors on site are performing well and capital development is now back on schedule delivering more consistent higher grade ore as both declines begin their stoping programs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bronzewing New Funding Agreed

View Resources proposes to undertake a rights issue to raise $10 million. The Company’s major shareholder Austral-Asia Resources and Infrastructural Investments Pty Ltd, a member of the IMC Resources Australia Group (“IMC”) has indicated an intention to fully underwrite the proposed rights issue, subject to the terms being finalised and a formal underwriting document being agreed. 

 

In parallel with negotiations for underwriting the proposed rights issue, View Resources is in discussions with IMC in relation to securing a more appropriate debt facility which may include a convertible note to replace the current Investec loan.

 

Full details of the rights issue and new debt facility (subject to shareholder approval if required) will be announced to ASX in due course.

Annual Report 2006-2007

View’s operations in 2006/2007 involved the recommissioning and commencement of operations and the production of gold bullion from the Bronzewing mine.  There was no production from the Carnilya Hill nickel mine which remained on care and maintenance.

 

The focus for the year was to successfully restart the Bronzewing Project on time and on budget during the June quarter 2007.  In addition View was active in supporting Mincor, through the Carnilya Hill joint venture, as the exploration phase of the Carnilya Hill project progressed toward a bankable feasibility study and a decision to restart mining.

 

View Resources can look forward to being an active producer of both gold and nickel by late 2007.

Bronzewing Final Hedge Close out

View Resources has closed out all remaining hedging for the Bronzewing Gold Project with immediate effect. The Company is confident that by taking this position and becoming totally unhedged and fully exposed to the rising gold price represents the best case scenario in the current bull gold market.

 

Following on from the close out earlier this week of half its flat forward commitments (87,500 ounces) and in full consultation with its Bankers, View has elected to sell its remaining unexpired put options with the proceeds more than covering the cancellation cost for the remaining 87,500 ounces of flat forwards. The additional revenue will be used to partially off-set the costs of closing out the first transaction.

Bronzewing Update & Partial Close Out of Hedge Book

The Board of View Resources has reviewed the current Bronzewing position.  As a result of market factors adversely impacting on operational resources and overall ramp up difficulties the performance for the September quarter will not meet previous expectations.

 As a consequence the Board has now decided that the majority of the funds previously earmarked for potential debt reduction will now be designated for working capital requirements. 

View Managing Director Tim Gooch stated “We have experienced first hand the many difficulties that most mining companies are facing in the current market to establish a new project and this has led to some delays in our expected ramp up.  We have taken action to address all key issues and as a result we are now starting to see strong evidence of the higher grades and overall tonnages that the feasibility study was based on. We remain very positive about Bronzewing.”
