CLEANSING NOTICE UNDER SECTION 708AA(2)(F) OF THE
CORPORATIONS ACT
17 July 2012.
This notice is given by Kentor Gold Ltd ("Company") under
section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
("Act") as notionally modified by the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission (ASIC).
On 17 July 2012, the Company announced a non-renounceable
rights issue (Rights Issue). Under the Rights Issue,
shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New
Zealand are invited to subscribe for 5 fully paid KGL
ordinary shares (New Shares) for every 17 existing ordinary
shares held as at 7pm on 25 July 2012.
Kentor advises that:
1. the New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Rights
Issue will be offered for issue without disclosure under Part
6D.2 of the Act;
2. this notice is being given under section 708AA(2)(f)
of the Act as modified by ASIC;
3. as a disclosing entity, KGL is subject to regular
reporting and disclosure obligations;
4. as at the date of this notice KGL has complied
with:
i. The provision of Chapter 2M of the Act as they apply
to KGL; and
ii. Section 674 of the Act, and
5. as at the date of this notice, there is no excluded
information, apart from that disclosed below, of the type
referred to in sections 708AA(8) and 708AA(9) of the Act as
notionally modified by ASIC that is required to be set out in
this notice.
6. the potential effect the Rights Issue will have on
the control of KGL, and the consequences of that effect will
depend upon a number of factors, including investor demand
and existing shareholdings.
Kentor's major shareholder, KMP Investments Pte Ltd (KMP)
currently holds 14.67% in the Company. As a result of the
placement announced 17 July 2012, KMP's holding in Kentor
will increase to 19.9%. KMP has provided a commitment to
take-up its full entitlement under the Rights Issue.
Additionally, KGL and KMP have entered into an Underwriting
Agreement. New Shares with a value of up to $5 million not
taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Rights Issue or
allocated to Eligible Shareholders under the Top-Up Offer
will be allocated to KMP. The possible outcomes of KMP's
holding in the Company are as detailed in the following
table.

The Company considers that any such increase in the voting
power of KMP in the Company may have a material effect on the
control of the Company as KMP would, in these circumstances,
be likely to have a greater degree of influence when voting
on resolutions to be considered at Shareholder meetings.
Notwithstanding this, the Board considers that such an effect
is acceptable in the circumstances, as it would only occur
where all Eligible Shareholders have had an equitable
opportunity to participate in the Offer.
Disclosure Items
i. The Company is currently in negotiations with a third
party with a view to entering into a Joint Venture
arrangement in relation to Bashkol Tenement in the Kyrgyz
Republic. The agreement, if completed, will require the third
party to fund the exploration and development costs in
relation to the Bashkol tenement in exchange for part
ownership in the project ("Farm-in"). The terms and
conditions of this transaction are yet to be finalised.
ii. The Company has entered into a sale agreement with the
original supplier of the two Ball Mills purchased for the
Andash project. The Company intends to re-purchase the
equipment at the appropriate stage in the project's
development.
iii. As a result of KMP increasing its holding in the Company
to 19.9% following the placement, the Board has invited KMP
to appoint a suitable director to its Board. KGL will keep
Shareholders informed of any new directors appointed to the
Board.
Yours sincerely,
KENTOR GOLD LTD
