SHARE PURCHASE PLAN OFFER

The Board of Directors of Oropa Limited (“Oropa” or the “Company”) is pleased to invite you to
participate in the Company’s 2009 Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”). The SPP has been designed to allow
shareholders to subscribe for new shares in Oropa at a price which is at a discount to market, and
without participants being required to pay brokerage or other costs that would normally apply to an onmarket
purchase of shares.
The Directors have selected a discount of 15% to the average volume weighted market price for this
offer which is intended to reward the Company’s many long-term shareholders for their loyalty and
continued support. The implementation of the SPP is timed to position those shareholders that wish to
participate, ahead of an active and exciting exploration program planned for the remainder of 2009 and
leading into 2010.
This offer under the SPP will provide an opportunity to any existing Shareholder holding an
unmarketable parcel of shares (being less than $500 worth of shares) to top up their shareholding and
accordingly trade their shares on the ASX.
The proceeds of the SPP are being used to fund activities primarily associated with the Pungkut gold
project and other activities related to its existing mineral portfolio. In particular, funds will assist with the
advancement of exploration works as part of a pre-feasibility study for the Sihayo-Sambung resource
area and nearby extensions, along with regional exploration associated with other highly prospective
areas within the Contract of Work (“CoW”), including those that will become accessible to the Company
within the western portions of the CoW that had previously been quarantined from exploration due to a
proposed National Park boundary.
Drilling has resumed on the open extensions to the Sihayo 1 North resource and additional drill rigs are
planned to be mobilised in coming months to increase the momentum of work to convert the already
identified Inferred Resource into a more appropriate JORC compliant Indicated/Measured Resource.
Your Directors firmly believe that Pungkut has now achieved a critical mass and that the stock market is
not reflecting that value in the present share price of Oropa.
The Directors are optimistic that the positive outcome to the November 2008 Scoping Study will
translate into a more meaningful future feasibility study that delivers results consistent with our view of
the project’s potential – this should be more favorably accepted by the market and reflect in a positive
re-rating of Pungkut (and therefore Oropa’s share price) as momentum builds over the coming period.
Such results will clearly define a path towards a full bankable feasibility study being planned during 2010
to assess the commercial viability of mining operations at Pungkut.

SPP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Company’s share purchase plan (“SPP”) allows eligible shareholders to acquire additional
small parcels of fully paid ordinary shares in the company (“shares”) or to round up existing
holdings.
1. Eligibility
To be eligible to participate in the SPP, you must be a registered holder of fully paid
ordinary shares in Oropa as at 5pm (WST) on Monday 8 June 2009 with a registered
address in Australia or New Zealand (“Eligible Shareholders”).
2. Application for Shares
The amount an Eligible Shareholder may invest under the SPP is limited. An Eligible
Shareholder may only apply for a parcel of shares with a value of:
A$1,000; A$2,500; or A$5,000
Joint / Multiple Holdings
If an Eligible Shareholder receives more than one copy of this booklet, or if an Eligible
Shareholder holds shares in more than one capacity (i.e. because they are both a sole and
joint holder of shares), the maximum amount the Eligible Shareholder may apply to invest
under the SPP in all capacities is A$5000. Joint holders of shares are taken to be a single
registered holder of shares for the purposes of determining whether they are an Eligible
Shareholder and the certification on the SPP Application Form is taken to have been given
by all of them.
Trustee / Nominee Holdings
If an Eligible Shareholder acts as a trustee or a nominee and is expressly noted on the
share register as holding shares on account of a named beneficiary, the named beneficiary
will be taken to be the registered holder of those shares. An application for shares,
certification or issue of shares to the trustee or nominee will be taken to be an application
or certification by, or an issue to, the named beneficiary.
3. Non-Renounceable Offer
The offer under the SPP is non-renounceable. Eligible shareholders cannot transfer their
right to acquire shares under the SPP to another person.
4. Rights Attaching to Shares
All shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Oropa shares and will carry
the same voting rights and other entitlements as at the issue date.
5. PRICE OF NEW OROPA SHARES
The price of New Oropa Shares to be issued under the plan will be determined by
calculating a discount to the volume weighted average price (‘VWAP’) of existing fully paid
ordinary shares in Oropa quoted on the ASX during the period of five days on which sales
are recorded immediately prior to the Closing Date specified by the Directors of Oropa as
the date determining the price of the new Oropa shares under the plan.
The market price of Oropa Shares may rise or fall between now and the date when the new
Oropa shares are issued in accordance with the SPP. As the final subscription price will not
be known until the Closing Date, shareholders should be aware that if the market price
rises in the period between the date of your application and the Closing Date, the number
of new Oropa shares you will receive may decrease. On the other hand, if the market price
falls, the number of new Oropa shares you will receive may increase.
While fluctuations in Oropa’s share price between the date of your application and the
Closing Date may affect the number of new Oropa shares that you receive, determining the
subscription price based on the VWAP for Oropa shares in the 5 days prior to the Closing
Date will minimise the potential fluctuations in the value of your Oropa shares at the
Closing Date. Setting the subscription price at a 15% discount to the VWAP in the 5 days
prior to the Closing Date will also help to protect the value of your investment against the
changes in the market price of your investment against the changes in the market price of
Oropa’s shares between the date of your application and the Closing Date.
6. Number of Shares Issued
Number of shares to be issued = Amount invested (A$)
Issue Price
The number of shares issued to an Eligible Shareholder will be rounded up to the nearest
whole number of shares.
7. How to Apply
If an Eligible Shareholder wishes to participate in the SPP, they must follow the instructions
set out on the enclosed “Share Purchase Plan Application Form”. A completed “Share
Purchase Plan Application Form” together with your cheque made payable to “Oropa
Limited Share Purchase Plan Account” must be sent in the reply paid envelope so that it is
received by Oropa’s share registry by no later than 5pm (WST) on Monday 29 June 2009,
unless the closing date is otherwise extended by Oropa.
8. Issue Date
The New Oropa Shares will be issued under the SPP on or about Monday 6 July 2009 and
quotation on the ASX will commence on or about Thursday 9 July 2009.
9. Cost of Participation
No brokerage, commission, stamp duty or other transaction cost will be payable by a
shareholder in respect of an issue of New Oropa Shares under the SPP.
10. Variation and Termination
Oropa may modify or terminate their plan at any time.
Oropa will notify the ASX of any modification to, or termination of, the plan. The omission to
give notice of any modification to, or termination of, the plan or the failure of the ASX to
receive such notice will not invalidate the modification or termination.
Without limiting the above, Oropa may issue to any person fewer new Oropa shares than
the person applied for under the plan if the issue of the new Oropa shares applied for
would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of the ASX.
11. Disputes
Oropa may settle in any manner it thinks fit any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which
may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the plan whether generally or
in relation to any participant, application or New Oropa Shares and the decision of Oropa
will be conclusive and binding on all shareholders and other persons to whom that
determination relates.
Oropa reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of these terms and
conditions. The powers of Oropa under these conditions may be exercised by the Directors
of Oropa or any delegate of the Directors.
12. Foreign Shareholders
The distribution of this booklet in jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand may be
restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this booklet should seek their
own advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such
restrictions may constitute a violation of application securities laws. This booklet (and the
accompanying Share Purchase Plan Application Form) does not constitute an offer of, or
invitation to subscribe for securities in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it
would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.
Shareholders resident outside Australia and New Zealand should consult their professional
advisers as to whether, in order to enable them to participate in the SPP, any governmental
or other consents are required or other formalities need to be observed. Where this
booklet has been sent to shareholders with registered addresses outside Australian and
New Zealand who are not entitled to participate, it is sent to them for information purposes
only.
