BAUXITE RESOURCES LIMITED

PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER BID UPDATE

Bauxite Resources Limited ("BRL" or the "Company") refers to its announcement of 23

March 2018 under which it advised that BRL shareholders had voted against the proportional takeover bid made by Mercantile OFM Pty Ltd ("Mercantile") for 50% of BRL shares ("Bid").

Mercantile has advised BRL that it does not consider that the rejection of the Bid by BRL shareholders is binding in relation to the Bid and released an announcement containing a notice of extension of its Bid and a notice declaring the Bid unconditional on 23 April 2018.

BRL disagrees with Mercantile's position. As a precautionary step BRL's solicitors have been instructed to obtain an opinion from an experienced commercial barrister in respect of the matter.

As soon as BRL is in a position to do so, it will update the market on how it intends to proceed in respect of the Bid and in respect of the contracts formed as a result of acceptances of the Bid. BRL advises that it will seek to delay completion of any contracts formed following acceptances of the Bid by shareholders until this position is clear.
