Australia Exploration Limited. Complete information on all projects,
joint-venture arrangements and Kimberley Rose's interests are

diamonds during the next field season.

It is intended that the funds raised by Kimberley Rose will be

15,000,000 shares in the capital of Kimberley Rose at an issue price
