CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

ADDRESS BY DR. DENIS CLARKE AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD

AT LEVEL 1, THE RIALTO HOTEL, 495 COLLINS STREET, MELBOURNE
AT 11AM ON THURSDAY 30 NOVEMBER 2006

The last year for Beaconsfield Gold has been extraordinary in many respects. As the details of the past are recorded fully elsewhere, I will in this address focus only on some recent developments that are important to the Company's future. In this regard, I am pleased to report that considerable progress has been made both operationally at the Beaconsfield Mine and also on the corporate front since I addressed shareholders a few weeks ago at the Company's general meeting on 4 October.

1. Operations

(a) Mining

All mining activities at the Beaconsfield Mine were suspended on 25 April, some seven months ago and since then efforts have been directed towards reopening the mine.

I am delighted to advise now that underground mining of the access decline at the mine recommenced yesterday, 29 November.

Following the submission by the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture of a Decline Case for Safety on 20 October, Workplace Standards Tasmania rescinded elements of notices it issued following the 25 April rockfall. The Joint Venture then completed the necessary communication and consultation process with major stakeholders (including employees, the Australian Workers Union and the local community), and mining activities in the decline resumed yesterday afternoon.

This is a significant step in the staged process to return the mine to a commercial production level. Separate Case for Safety submissions and approvals are still required for the two stages that will generate gold ore, namely ore development (sill driving) and ore production (stoping).

A separate Case for Safety is required for each stage, incorporating a review of geotechnical matters, actions and activities necessary to support a safe return to work. The Case for Safety for ore development is to be submitted shortly to Workplace Standards Tasmania and recommencement of sill driving on ore is anticipated during December.

The Case for Safety for ore production, which is the critical stage in returning to commercial production, is expected to be submitted to Workplace Standards Tasmania in early December, with a resumption of stoping activities anticipated early in 2007. There would then be a ramp-up period of at least three months before the mine returns to commercial production levels.

The process required to safely re-open the mine has been extensive and particularly detailed. Whilst I share shareholders' concern at the time taken, it is crucially important that the process is thorough and complete.

(b) Exploration

Despite the challenges arising from the temporary mine closure, the Joint Venture has pushed forward with a follow-up deep drill hole test of a significant shear zone target at Middle Arm Gorge, 2.5 km south-east of the Beaconsfield Mine. As previously reported, the zone has structural and mineralisation characteristics similar to the western end of the Tasmania Reef, the lode at the Beaconsfield Mine. The deep follow-up hole is currently approaching the target zone.

In its own right, Beaconsfield Gold earlier this month completed a short, low-cost, first-pass drilling program to test potential for mineable secondary copper mineralisation at Thursdays Gossan on its wholly owned Stavely Project in western Victoria. Thursdays Gossan is located a few kilometres north-west of the Company's promising Fair View gold prospect, possibly on the same structure. Metallurgical testing is currently incomplete. A high resolution airborne magnetic survey is planned to take place at Stavely during December. The geophysical data should enable a better understanding of the structural trends associated with both the Fair View and Thursday's Gossan prospects forming a key basis for follow-up drilling campaigns in 2007.

2. Corporate Developments

As the Joint Venture addressed the operational aspects of the re-opening, Beaconsfield Gold has continued to strive for a restructuring of the ownership of the mine.

The opportunity for the Company to consolidate ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine has never been greater or more realisable. This arises from:

The recent strengthening of Beaconsfield Gold's cash resources;
The perceived weakening of the financial capacity of the Allstate Group;
Macquarie Bank's decision to sell its unsecured debt with the Allstate Group;
The requirement for both Beaconsfield Gold and Allstate Group to fund the mine re-opening and ramp-up to full production;
The recent engagement of major stakeholders in commercial negotiations.

(a) Beaconsfield Financial Capacity

On 16 November, the Company announced the placement of 27.6 million shares, at a price of 23 cents per share, raising $6.35 million and increasing the Company's total cash balance to $11.1 million. All funds have been received and the shares have been issued.

This capital raising has positioned the Company with a robust cash balance to fund its share of mine reopening and production ramp-up costs during 2007. Additionally, shareholder approval is already in place for a capital raising should that prove necessary for acquisition purposes. This places us in a strong position to fund a restructure of the mine ownership.

(b) Allstate Group Financial Capacity

Allstate continues to be subject to a deed of company arrangement, its liabilities exceed its assets and it is, in Beaconsfield Gold's opinion, in a very difficult, and worsening, financial position. Importantly, Allstate has very limited avenues to raise equity to fund its share of ramp-up production costs.

Earlier this month, Allstate Explorations, the Manager and majority participant in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture, requested a meeting of all major stakeholders to undertake negotiations with a view to restructuring ownership. An initial meeting was convened in Melbourne on 17 November, followed by a second round of discussions on 21 November. All parties have expressed an interest in working towards a commercial outcome in a short time frame, although at this stage, the discussions are incomplete and remain confidential.

(c) Macquarie Unsecured Debt Sale

On 5 May 2006 Macquarie Bank announced that it would give the intercompany debts of Allstate (which the bank purchased in 2002) to a trust for the benefit of the mine employees. Some six months later the trust had not been established and Macquarie Bank on 13 November announced that it had been unable to find a trustee willing to administer the fund to which it proposed to transfer the $48 million debt owed to it by two Allstate subsidiaries. The beneficiaries of the fund were to be all Beaconsfield Gold Mine personnel employed on 25 April 2006.

Macquarie Bank has now abandoned the idea of establishing a trust fund, and has engaged a financial consultant, KordaMentha, to sell the debt, with the proceeds to go to those who would have been beneficiaries of the proposed trust.

The sale process advertised nationally on 21 November called for expressions of interest to be lodged with KordaMentha by 28 November. Beaconsfield Gold is participating in this sale process and has expressed its interest. We will advise shareholders of any developments in this process when we are able to do so.

(d) Future developments

Consolidation of ownership will require further steps, the precise nature of which will depend on the outcome of the Macquarie Bank debt sale, and the actions of various other stakeholders. Discussions are continuing and we are confident that the commercial imperatives are so strong that consolidation will be achieved in the not too distant future.

3. Outlook

The Company has risen successfully to the challenges of the last seven months and made substantial progress operationally and corporately. Looking forward we are confident concerning:

Safe recommencement of operations at the Beaconsfield Mine and a return to commercial production rates;
Resumption of trading of the Company's shares on the Australian Stock Exchange;
Resolution of the Beaconsfield Mine ownership issue, which currently remains a work-in-progress;
Realisation of value from our exploration opportunities.

The well-known saying "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" summarises the response of all involved to the April tragedy at the Beaconsfield Mine. All operational personnel have worked hard and diligently to satisfy the technical hurdles to mine re-opening. At the corporate level all the Company's directors and executives have succeeded in not only meeting the financial challenges, but also advancing the opportunity for ownership consolidation. Our loyal shareholders have responded with financial support and admirable patience. I am confident this toughness that has been so evident to date will ensure that, as the future evolves, the opportunities facing Beaconsfield Gold can be unlocked with real value for our shareholders.

$6.35 MILLION SHARE PLACEMENT

Beaconsfield Gold has finalised the placement of 27.6 million new shares (15% of existing issued shares) at a price of 23 cents per share, raising $6.35 million. The placement takes the Company's total effective cash position to approximately $11.1 million, including the Company's share of cash held in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture.

The placement was made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which allows for the issue of up to 15% of existing shares without shareholder approval and, in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, was necessarily made to sophisticated and professional investors only.

Chief Executive Officer Mr Bill Colvin said: "Beaconsfield Gold now has a robust cash balance to fund its share of Joint Venture costs whilst the mine re-opens and production ramps-up during the 2007 year. It also places us in a strong position, both during the current negotiations to restructure ownership of the mine, or in the event that Allstate's very difficult financial position compels a sale of its interest in the Joint Venture."

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

ADDRESS BY DR. DENIS CLARKE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING HELD AT
LEVEL 20, CMA CENTRE, 500 COLLINS STREET, MELBOURNE
ON WEDNESDAY 4 OCTOBER 2006 AT 11AM.

Seldom does a Company Chairman address shareholders in general meeting twice in three months, but, as there has been much recent activity at both an operational and corporate level, I welcome this opportunity to update you on progress since we last met on 28 June.

1 The purpose of this meeting

The purpose of this meeting is explained in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Notes. I would, however, like to briefly address the two specific issues that are the subject of this meeting.

To renew the approval given by shareholders for the issue of new shares

The principal aim of this meeting is to seek fresh approval for the issue of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors should the opportunity arise to increase our beneficial interest in the Beaconsfield Mine. This approval, which was originally given by shareholders on 28 June 2006, was only able to be granted for a period of three months and expired on 28 September. In order to preserve the Company's ability to act quickly should an opportunity arise, shareholder approval must again be sought at a general meeting. It was not appropriate in the circumstances to request that ASIC grant an extension to the three month period, as there was no formal offer on the table.

To "refresh" the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of the existing shares

We have also taken the opportunity at this meeting to "refresh" the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of the existing shares on issue without further shareholder approval.
As previously announced, on 30 June 2006 the Company made a placement of 24 million shares, at 23 cents, to sophisticated and professional investors. This placement of approximately 15% of existing shares on issue was made to provide working capital necessary to fund the care and maintenance program at the mine whilst operations were suspended. The additional financial security and the demonstration of strong investor support further enhanced the Company's chances of moving to 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine.
Importantly, for the Company to make another placement prior to 30 June 2007, the 30 June 2006 placement must be approved by shareholders at a general meeting.
Directors believe it is both prudent and necessary that the Company has the ability to raise further capital quickly if circumstances require it.

2 Recent significant events for the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture

Whilst I am on the topic of funding, apart from the 30 June share placement, three other significant events have occurred in the past three months which will or may further improve the Company's financial position.

Debt due to Tasmanian State Government

Firstly, on 4 July, it was announced that the Tasmanian State Government intended to waive approximately $700,000 of historical stamp duties owed to it by the Joint Venture participants if mining operations recommence.

Beaconsfield Community Fund

Secondly, on 21 July, the Federal Government announced that the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture's application for a grant, under the Beaconsfield Community Fund, had been accepted. The grant of $4.87 million will assist the Joint Venture to meet supernumerary payroll costs and to further develop the underground mine. This assistance from the Federal Government is welcomed by the Company as an important factor in the recommencement of mine operations.

Claim under business interruption insurance

Thirdly, the Joint Venture has recently submitted a claim, under its business interruption insurance policy, relating to costs and losses arising from the tragic Anzac Day rock fall. We are presently awaiting a response from the insurance company, and it is not yet possible to estimate the quantum of a successful claim.

3 Corporate developments

I would now like to comment on our continuing efforts to consolidate ownership of the operation into Beaconsfield Gold.

The simple facts of the matter are that:

The current joint venture ownership structure of the mine hinders successful redevelopment;
Management of the mine and joint venture on a long term and ongoing basis (over five years now) by a company in administration, as Allstate Explorations NL is, is both unprecedented in the Australian mining industry and counterproductive as far as redevelopment is concerned. In terms of the day-to-day operations and decision making at the mine, Beaconsfield Gold has been concerned for some time that the Mine Manager for Allstate has reported only to the Deed Administrator, an accountant based in Perth. In a normal situation, there would typically be two levels of technical supervision and oversight provided by an experienced Chief Executive Officer and a board that would contain directors with extensive, relevant experience in the mining industry.
Beaconsfield Gold is best placed to consolidate ownership of the mine.

Allstate restructure

Recently Allstate attempted to restructure the ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine by formally calling for Expressions of Interest for a possible transaction, including a share placement in Allstate. Beaconsfield Gold welcomed the desire by Allstate to bring over five years of company administration to a close.

Regrettably, I must report that this attempt has apparently come to naught, as evidenced by Allstate's recent announcement that the Expression of Interest Process had been suspended.

Allstate had sought to deny a key element of Beaconsfield Gold's comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Agreement. However, the extensive nature of the Company's pre-emptive rights was confirmed on 8 September 2006 by the Supreme Court of Victoria. Our first right of refusal if Allstate were to dispose of its Joint Venture interest, or subsidiary companies which hold the Joint Venture interest, was never in dispute. Additionally, the Court upheld our view that if Allstate ceased to be a subsidiary of Otter Gold Mines Pty Ltd (as would occur following a significant share placement in Allstate), then Allstate's share in the joint venture must be offered to Beaconsfield Gold at either an agreed price or an expert's valuation.

This decision by the Supreme Court of Victoria has subsequently been appealed by Allstate, which also announced that the plans to restructure Allstate had been suspended pending the outcome of the appeal. No date has yet been set for hearing the appeal. Regardless, Beaconsfield Gold is extremely confident of its legal position.

We continue our attempts to have the Administrator of Allstate enter into meaningful discussions with Beaconsfield Gold that could lead to a consolidation of ownership that could be advantageous to stakeholders. The Administrator's decision to independently pursue a flawed and futile attempt to restructure Allstate rather than to engage constructively with Beaconsfield Gold was, in our opinion, counterproductive.

Should Allstate require additional funds during the mine re-opening, the continuing company administration will make it more difficult for Allstate to raise those funds. The ability to turn to a supportive and loyal shareholder base is one of the key distinguishing features between Beaconsfield Gold and Allstate.

Beaconsfield Gold remains well positioned to acquire the Allstate interest in the Joint Venture, regardless of the transaction required:

we understand the business,
we have the necessary funding approved (subject to the outcome of the vote later in this meeting), and
we have comprehensive pre-emptive rights over Allstate's interest in the joint venture.

Miners' Trust

Another critical aspect of any restructuring of Allstate or the Joint Venture is the trust yet to be established by Macquarie Bank for the benefit of the Beaconsfield Mine employees. On 5 May 2006, ten days after the Anzac Day tragedy at the Beaconsfield Mine, Macquarie Bank announced it would gift to the employees its rights to an inter-company debt that the bank had acquired from Allstate in 2002 for $300,000. Although the debt has a remaining face value of $47 million (it was originally $77 million), when Macquarie Bank announced the gift it commented that "...the value of these debts is not known at this point and is entirely dependent on the mine re-opening." The debt can only be repaid from surplus cash generated from Allstate's share of the Joint Venture. Although the details of the trust have yet to be made public by Macquarie, it is our understanding that the trust will be independent and free to negotiate a further sale of the debt, if it so chooses. It is extremely disappointing that Macquarie Bank has not yet established the trust after some five months, as we believe it is commercially impossible to either effectively refinance Allstate or complete a consolidation deal without the participation of the trust. Macquarie Bank, therefore, currently remains a key player in determining the future of the Beaconsfield Mine.

Let me conclude by restating our position here: Beaconsfield Gold remains firmly committed to acquiring 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine, notwithstanding the uncertainties that continue to be associated with the mine's reopening and the difficulties and frustrations of dealing with multiple parties.

4 Significant progress at the mine

I can report significant and positive progress at the mine itself.

Staged mine re-opening

As you are aware, the Beaconsfield Mine remains closed following the Anzac Day rock fall that killed Larry Knight and trapped two other miners. However, I can report that significant progress has been made by the Joint Venture towards completing the work that the Chief Inspector of Mines has deemed necessary to re-open the mine. A geotechnical review has formed the basis of a Case for Safety that is required by the Inspector as a prerequisite to re-opening. It is reasonable to expect that we could see some limited mining operations recommence within a matter of weeks in those areas of the mine that did not suffer from rock falls in the 2005/2006 year. The critical approval in coming months will of course be for the recommencement of stoping operations in the high grade western area of the mine where the Anzac Day rock fall occurred.

Encouraging geotechnical assessment

Four weeks ago, on 6 September, Allstate announced the findings of Coffey Mining, the independent consultant commissioned in mid May by Allstate, as Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture, to carry out the geotechnical assessment of the mine which was required by the Chief Inspector.

While Allstate has not yet provided Beaconsfield Gold with a copy of the Coffey report, either in draft or final form, Beaconsfield Gold is very encouraged by the comments of the independent consultant reported in the 6 September release.

Coffey have said that they "do not foresee any geotechnical reasons relating to ground control that could not be managed such that they would prevent the Beaconsfield Mine recommencing operations".

Coffey further commented that "The review identified a number of operating mines in Canada that are currently experiencing seismicity of greater magnitude and frequency to that experienced at Beaconsfield and have been effectively managing this risk through the use of similar design processes and ground control techniques to those proposed by Coffey Mining for recommencement of operations at Beaconsfield."

A care and maintenance program that ensures we are ready

The operation is presently being managed on a care and maintenance basis to ensure that the mine remains in good condition and operations can recommence on short notice. Particular emphasis has been placed on ensuring the bacterial-leaching circuit in the mill is kept in a suitable condition to resume treatment with minimal delay.

The site workforce has been maintained at a level somewhat higher than would normally be the case for a care and maintenance program and is, in part, funded by a portion of the Federal Government grant. This has been a deliberate initiative to assist a prompt return to normal production and to retain key workers, whose skills are in great demand throughout Australia as a result of the current resources boom.

5 Exciting exploration prospects

I shall turn now to the Company's other major focus - Exploration. I am very encouraged by progress on exploration, both on Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture tenements and on your Company's own tenements in Victoria.

Tasmania

Regional exploration by the Joint Venture has continued despite the present temporary cessation of mine operations. We are very encouraged by early results of drilling at Middle Arm Gorge. The first hole of the program, 2.5km south east of the Tasmania Reef, intersected a significant shear zone over 4.8m at a downhole depth of 588m. The structure is similar in characteristics to the western end of the Tasmania Reef, the lode at the Beaconsfield Mine, and the presence of gold grading 4.4g/t in the wallrocks confirms that the system is mineralized. Based on this encouraging result, a second hole, to the east of the first, was commenced in early September.

Victoria

At the Company's 100% owned Stavely Project in western Victoria, further work is about to commence to follow up on earlier results. A geophysics program is planned at the Fair View Gold Prospect to refine the geological model and help in the design of a follow-up drilling program. A series of RC holes are planned to be drilled on the Thursday's Gossan Copper Prospect, targeting higher grade secondary copper mineralisation that has been intersected by previous explorers who were focused on the deeper primary mineralization at a time of significantly lower copper prices than we currently enjoy.

6 Conclusion

The Company's Board and Management believe that the future, while challenging, offers several exciting opportunities, both at the Beaconsfield Mine and in exploration. In particular, we are committed to the safe recommencement of operations at the Beaconsfield Mine. We appreciate our shareholders' patience and support, and we look forward to sharing future successes with you.

COURT DECISION CONFIRMING BEACONSFIELD GOLD'S
PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS TO BE APPEALED

On 8 September 2006, the Supreme Court of Victoria confirmed the Beaconsfield Gold (ASX: BCD) group's comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") Agreement.
Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") yesterday announced that it will appeal the decision of Justice Hargrave.

Beaconsfield Gold's view remains that its pre-emptive rights under the Agreement are very clear and the Company will vigorously contest the appeal by Allstate.

Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, Mr Bill Colvin, said: "A resolution of the ownership issues at the Beaconsfield Mine would remove much uncertainty for all the stakeholders working towards getting the mine safely re-opened. I hope that Allstate's decision to appeal does not delay the necessary negotiations to achieve this."

FINANCIAL RESULTS - 30 JUNE 2006

Beaconsfield Gold announces full year results significantly impacted by the tragic Anzac Day rockfall at the Beaconsfield Mine.

Net loss of $14.3 million including $11.4 million non-operating expenses related to suspension of mining
Beaconsfield Mine produces 81,983 ounces of gold (down 35%)
Gold sales revenue of $24.2 million
Total effective cash of $9.6 million at 30 June 2006

Beaconsfield Gold NL (ASX: BCD or the "Company") today announced earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) from ordinary activities of $3.1 million for the year ended 30 June, 2006 (2005: $15.7 million), following a year dominated by the impact of the tragic rockfall at the Beaconsfield Mine on 25 April (Anzac Day).

The total net loss for the year of $14.3 million (2005 profit $7.8 million) included $11.4 million of non-operating costs related to, or incurred as a direct result of, the April rockfall and suspension of mining activities. These costs are broken down as follows:

		$ million
Mine care and maintenance		1.1
Expenditure directly related to incident		0.8
Employee redundancy and work cover premiums		1.0
Close out of gold hedge contracts and fair value of ineffective gold hedge contracts		8.5
TOTAL		11.4

Depreciation and amortisation charges and Company exploration costs written off totalled $5.1 million for the year.

Cash on hand at the end of the year was $8.1 million following the successful $5.5 million share placement on 30 June to sophisticated and professional investors. A further $1.5 million was held by Allstate, as Manager of the BMJV, on behalf of the Company.

The Beaconsfield mine produced 81,983 ounces of gold during the year, 35% less than in the previous year. BCD Chief Executive Officer Bill Colvin said that "gold production was severely impacted by the temporary closure of high grade stopes following a seismic event in October 2005 and by the total suspension of mine production following the Anzac Day incident".

The Company reported that the lower production resulted in a 29% reduction in the Company's sales revenue to $24.2 million for the year.

The hedge book at 30 June consisted of 30,000 ounces of gold at an average price of $608 per ounce.

In line with the new AIFRS accounting standards, and the Company's temporary inability to deliver gold into its hedge contracts, Beaconsfield Gold's gold hedging no longer meets the strict AIFRS criteria of effective hedging. Movements in the hedge book marked-to-market value are now required to be brought to account through earnings, resulting in a cost of $6.5 million for the year.

As a consequence of the impact on the Company's financial position of the Anzac Day incident, the interim dividend for the year, which was announced on 3 May and subsequently deferred, has now been cancelled.

"It is the intention of the Board to recommence distributing a proportion of free cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends as soon as financial circumstances permit," Mr Colvin said.

Mr Colvin also expressed an optimistic outlook for the Company going forward.

"Whilst mining operations at Beaconsfield remain suspended, significant progress has been made towards completing the work necessary to seek approval from the Chief Inspector of Mines to re-open the mine," Mr Colvin said.

On 6 September the Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture announced the initial findings of a geotechnical assessment of the Beaconsfield Mine by Coffey Mining.

Mr Colvin said "the geotechnical consultants believe that there are no geotechnical reasons for the mine not to reopen, and the Joint Venture has financial assistance from the Federal Government to reopen the mine and to continue its development."

Whilst there remains some uncertainty as to the re-opening of the Beaconsfield mine, the Company believes it is well positioned for the future.

"We are well placed to move to 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield mine, especially following the recent court ruling which confirmed our comprehensive pre-emptive rights. Additionally, we are looking forward with anticipation to significant exploration activity at Stavely in Western Victoria," Mr Colvin said.

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS CONFIRMED FOR BEACONSFIELD GOLD

The Supreme Court of Victoria has today confirmed Beaconsfield Gold Group's (ASX: BCD) comprehensive pre-emptive rights under Clause 20.5 of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") Agreement.

The ruling reinforces Beaconsfield Gold's status as the company best positioned to acquire the Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") interest in the joint venture.

Background
Allstate and the Joint Deed Administrator, Mr Michael Ryan, have sought expressions of interest in a possible transaction to restructure the ownership of the Beaconsfield Gold Mine, including a share placement in Allstate.

The Allstate group's 51.51% interest in the BMJV is held by two 100% owned subsidiaries of Allstate ("Allstate Subsidiaries"). The Allstate Subsidiaries are subsidiaries of Otter Gold Mines Pty Ltd ("Otter") through Otter's majority ownership of Allstate.

Finding in favour of Beaconsfield Gold
The court ruling was sought by Beaconsfield Gold NL to confirm that if, as a result of a future placement of shares in Allstate, the Allstate Subsidiaries ceased to be subsidiaries of Otter, the Beaconsfield Gold group's pre-emptive rights over the Allstate group's interest in the BMJV would be triggered. In that circumstance, the BMJV Agreement would allow the Beaconsfield Gold group to acquire the Allstate group interest at a price determined by an expert to be fair consideration as between a willing seller and a willing purchaser. The Supreme Court of Victoria has today confirmed this position.

Justice Hargrave found: "....the provisions of Cl. 20.5 have an obvious anti-avoidance purpose; to prevent devices designed to transfer effective ownership or control of a joint venture interest to a new owner without triggering pre-emptive rights in the other joint venturers".

Beaconsfield Gold committed to 100% ownership
Beaconsfield Gold remains committed to acquiring 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine, notwithstanding the uncertainties that continue to be associated with the mine's re-opening. Allstate has been formally advised of this position.

Bill Colvin, Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, said: "We have shareholder approval for the equity funding to acquire the Allstate interest and move from 48.49% to 100% ownership, we have now had our comprehensive pre-emptive rights confirmed by the Court and we understand the business of mining at Beaconsfield, albeit there are numerous unknowns going forward."

POSITIVE GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT ASSISTS EFFORTS TO RECOMMENCE PRODUCTION AT BEACONSFIELD MINE

Beaconsfield Gold NL (ASX: BCD or the "Company") welcomes the announcement issued today by Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate"), as Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV"), regarding the geotechnical assessment of the Beaconsfield Mine undertaken by Coffey Mining. A copy of the Allstate announcement is included with this release.

Coffey Mining says that "at this stage we do not foresee any geotechnical reasons relating to ground control that could not be managed such that they would prevent the Beaconsfield Mine recommencing operations."

BCD views the Coffey Mining assessment as positive news for the miners, the community and other parties committed to seeing the Beaconsfield Mine back in production. BCD advises, however, that there is still a high level of uncertainty concerning the actual timing of any recommencement of commercial mining operations and gold production as extensive consultation by Allstate is still required with the workforce, local community, Workplace Standards Tasmania, the AWU, the Coroner and other stakeholders.

BCD also believes the geotechnical assessment is positive for Allstate's intention to sell its group interest in the BMJV or to recapitalise Allstate. Notwithstanding the uncertainties associated with the mine's re-opening, BCD is committed to acquiring 100% ownership of the mine and has formally advised Allstate of its position. The Company believes it is best qualified and best placed to take over management of the mine.

"We are obviously pleased to hear that the Coffey Mining report has found no geotechnical reasons to prevent the mine recommencing operations," BCD Chief Executive Officer Bill Colvin said.

"Beaconsfield Gold is the company that is best placed to get the mine up and running when approval has been granted to recommence commercial mining operations. We know the mine and we have shareholder approval for the funding to buy the Allstate group's interest".

September 01, 2006

Dear Shareholder,

Three months ago I wrote to you in advance of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders which was held on 28 June. At that meeting shareholders overwhelmingly approved the placement of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors at a price of at least 34 cents per share. The purpose of the proposed issue was to position the Company so that it could acquire, at short notice, the Allstate group's 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine, if that interest became available. To date that has not happened, and the approval given for the placement will expire on 28 September, 2006. It is critical that the Company continues to be well-placed to move quickly in response to any opportunity.

On 27 July 2006 the Deed Administrators of Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") announced that expressions of interest in Allstate, and its Joint Venture assets, were being sought. Beaconsfield Gold welcomed this initiative, noting that the Joint Venture Agreement provides the Company with comprehensive pre-emptive rights over the Allstate interest in the Beaconsfield Mine. These rights, together with Beaconsfield Gold's shareholding in Allstate and its understanding of the mine, preferentially position Beaconsfield Gold in any consolidation of ownership. The Company's understanding of one aspect of those pre-emptive rights is presently being tested in the Supreme Court of Victoria.

Since June, considerable progress has been made towards completing a number of technical studies required by the Chief Inspector of Mines and Workplace Standards Tasmania as a pre-requisite to the re-opening of the mine. It is not yet possible to put an accurate timeframe on re-opening, however the picture is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks, and it is possible that the Chief Inspector may approve the recommencement of some mining activity during September. A resumption of trading in the Company's shares is also closer, but the shares will necessarily remain suspended until the commercial and technical aspects and timing of the mine re-opening are fully understood.

On 30 June 2006, the Company made a placement of 24 million new shares, at a price of 23 cents per share, to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $5.5 million in working capital. This placement was made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which allows for the issue of up to 15% of existing shares without shareholder approval.

Beaconsfield Gold remains committed to the long term future of mining at Beaconsfield based on the safe extraction of remaining gold resources in the existing mine and the excellent potential for new discoveries in the surrounding tenements. A key element of the Company's long term strategy is the belief that the mine could operate more efficiently if it were owned by a single corporate entity, and Beaconsfield Gold believes that it has the technical, managerial and financial capability to be that single owner operator.

To enable the Company to take full advantage of any opportunity to increase its ownership of the mine, shareholder approval is now being sought for:

The placement of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors. This approval replaces that given on 28 June, which will expire on 28 September 2006. The shares will be issued at a price of at least 34 cents per share, or 80% of the weighted average price of shares traded in ordinary trade on the 5 trading days prior to the allotment of the shares, if trading has recommenced.

A placement of any or all of the shares will occur only if the Allstate 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture becomes available, or if any other favourable transaction can be negotiated to increase Beaconsfield Gold's beneficial interest in the Beaconsfield Mine.
The placement on 30 June 2006 of 24 million shares, at 23 cents per share, to sophisticated and professional investors. This retrospective approval will refresh the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of its share capital, at short notice and without shareholder approval, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Because of the continuing uncertainty regarding timing of the re-opening of the Beaconsfield Mine, and a longer than expected timeframe for a resolution of issues surrounding ownership of the mine, it is critical that Beaconsfield Gold retain the financial capacity and flexibility to react, at short notice, to any opportunity that arises.

Shareholder approval of these two resolutions will secure that position.

A Notice of Meeting, Proxy Form and Explanatory Notes are enclosed. I encourage you to vote for both resolutions and return your Proxy Form in the reply-paid envelope provided.

Yours faithfully,

Denis Clarke
Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This information forms part of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting. The main purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide shareholders with information concerning the resolutions proposed in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.

(1) Approval of possible issue of shares

At an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 28 June 2006, shareholders approved the issue of up to 60,000,000 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the terms set out in paragraphs 2, 3(a), 4, 5, and 6(a) below. At the date of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting which this Explanatory Statement accompanies, no shares have been issued pursuant to the terms of the resolution passed on 28 June 2006 and the shareholders' approval granted on 28 June 2006 by that resolution will expire on 27 September 2006. The purpose of the resolution comprising item 1 in this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting is to renew the shareholder approval for a further three months on the terms set out in paragraphs 1 to 6 below. ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1:

the maximum number of shares to be issued is 60,000,000, less any shares issued pursuant to the shareholder approval granted at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 28 June 2006;
the shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver of the Listing Rules);
the shares will be issued as fully paid at no less than:

a) $0.34 per share, if the shares in the Company have not been traded on the ASX during the five consecutive trading days ending immediately before the date on which the Company enters into any agreement to allot and issue shares pursuant to this resolution; or
b) 80% of the weighted average market price of all shares in the Company traded in the ordinary course of trading on the ASX during the five consecutive trading days ending immediately before the date on which the Company enters into any agreement to allot and issue shares pursuant to this resolution, if the shares in the Company have been traded on the ASX during that period.

The price of $0.34 per share referred to in paragraph (a) is approximately 80% of the last price at which the Company's shares were traded on the ASX;
shares will be allotted to selected sophisticated and professional investors whose identities are not known at this time;
when issued, the shares will rank equally with the existing ordinary shares on issue of the Company;
the funds raised from the issue of the shares will be used by the Company to: -

(a) position itself so that it can acquire the Allstate Explorations NL group's 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine should that interest become available via a direct purchase or the Company's pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Agreement; or

(b) to finance any other transaction which increases the Company's beneficial interest in the Beaconsfield Mine; and
allotment of the shares will occur progressively as and when subscription for the shares occurs.

(2) Approval of issue of shares to sophisticated and professional investors on 30 June 2006

The resolution contained in item 2 of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting is being put before shareholders in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

On 30 June 2006, the Company placed 24 million new fully paid ordinary shares at a price of $0.23 per share, raising $5.5 million in working capital. The allottees of the shares were sophisticated and professional investors only. The shares rank equally with the pre-existing ordinary shares on issue by the Company.

The placement was made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which allows for the issue of up to 15% of existing shares without shareholder approval.

Under Listing Rule 7.4, the Company can "renew" its ability to issue securities within the limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1 by having shareholders approve the issue of securities for which shareholder approval was not obtained at the time of the issue. The Company therefore seeks shareholder approval to the issue of the 24 million shares referred to above to the following allottees: -

Zero Nominees Pty Ltd
Bell Potter Securities Limited
Red Dragon Trading Co Pty Ltd
Mr RD Russell & Ms AM Hynes
Evergem Pty Ltd
National Nominees Limited
Dunkeld Pastoral Investment Co Pty Ltd ATF Dunkeld
Pastoral Co Superannuation Fund
Palazzo Nominees Pty Ltd
Citicorp Nominees Pty Limited
Bealiba Nominees Pty Ltd
Mr Duncan Francis Smith
JP Morgan Nominees Australia Limited
Mr Simon Robert Evans & Mrs Kathryn Margaret Evans
<Kamiyacho Super Fund A/C>
Caple & Associates Pty Ltd
Mr Noel Christopher Thompson
N Thompson, L Thompson, K Thompson <Thompson
Family Super Fund>
Brockwell Helm Pty Ltd <McCarthy Le Brocq Super Fund>

If approved, this will give the Company the ability to issue further securities up to 15% of its issued capital, in addition to the shares referred to in the resolution comprising item 1 of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (if that resolution is passed), without needing to obtain shareholder approval. The directors believe that this will provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to raise additional capital as and when appropriate.

COURT RULING SOUGHT ON PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

Beaconsfield Gold NL and associated companies ("Beaconsfield Gold group") hold comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") Agreement.

Notwithstanding the uncertainties associated with the mine's re-opening, Beaconsfield Gold NL is committed to acquiring 100% control of the mine and has formally advised Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") of its position. Beaconsfield Gold NL believes it is best positioned and best qualified to re-open and revitalise the mine.

Beaconsfield Gold NL refers to the ASX announcement released by Allstate on 28 July which challenged Beaconsfield Gold NL's ASX release of 27 July.

The Beaconsfield Gold group has today initiated an action in the Supreme Court of Victoria seeking declaratory relief in relation to the Beaconsfield Gold group's pre-emptive rights under the BMJV Agreement.

The Allstate group's interest in the BMJV is held by two 100% owned subsidiaries of Allstate, ACN 070 164 653 Pty Ltd and Allstate Prospecting Pty Ltd ("Allstate Subsidiaries"). The Allstate Subsidiaries are subsidiaries of Otter Gold Mines Pty Ltd ("Otter") through Otter's majority ownership of Allstate.

Beaconsfield Gold NL's view is that if, as a result of a placement of shares in Allstate, the Allstate Subsidiaries cease to be subsidiaries of Otter, the Beaconsfield Gold group's pre-emptive rights over the Allstate group's 51.51% interest in the BMJV would be triggered.

The relevant pre-emptive rights clause of the BMJV Agreement states, in effect, that where a joint venturer is, at any time, a subsidiary of another company and, by reason of any transaction or event, ceases to be a subsidiary of that company, pre-emptive rights over that joint venturer's interest in the BMJV are triggered. In that circumstance, the cash consideration for that BMJV interest is to be determined by an expert to be fair consideration as between a willing seller and a willing purchaser.

Beaconsfield Gold NL Chief Executive Officer Mr. Bill Colvin said that "Beaconsfield Gold is the company that is best placed to move immediately to get the mine up and running when approval has been granted to recommence mining operations."

"We have approval for the funding to buy the Allstate group's interest, we have comprehensive pre-emptive rights and we understand the business of mining at Beaconsfield."

ALLSTATE INITIATIVE TO RATIONALISE MINE OWNERSHIP WELCOMED

Beaconsfield Gold NL ("BCD") has welcomed the announcement by Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) ("Allstate") of an attempt to restructure the ownership of the Beaconsfield Gold Mine.

"We are well positioned to acquire this shareholding. We understand the business, we have the funding approved and we have pre-emptive rights over Allstate's interest in the joint venture" BCD's Chief Executive Officer Mr Bill Colvin said today.

On 28 June, BCD received shareholder approval for a placement of shares to enable it to acquire Allstate's 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine.

The company believes it will be difficult for any other party to acquire the Allstate interest in the mine due to the comprehensive pre-emptive rights held by BCD, which apply whether the acquisition is proposed directly or through a share placement in Allstate.

$5.5 MILLION SHARE PLACEMENT

Beaconsfield Gold has today placed 24 million new shares at a price of 23 cents per share, raising $5.5 million in working capital.

The placement was made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which allows for the issue of up to 15% of existing shares without shareholder approval, and, in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, was necessarily made to sophisticated and professional investors only.

Additionally, on 28 June 2006, the Company received shareholder approval for a placement of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors. This approval positions the Company so that it can acquire, at short notice, the Allstate group’s 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine, if that interest becomes available, via a direct purchase or via Beaconsfield Gold’s comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Agreement.

This placement, which will occur only if the 51.51% interest becomes available, will also necessarily be made only to sophisticated and professional investors.

The Company’s shares are currently suspended and will remain so until a clearer picture emerges of when, and under what circumstances, the Beaconsfield Mine will be allowed to re-open following the incident on 25 April 2006.

The 30 June placement and the approval for a placement of up to 60 million new shares maximises the Company’s chances of moving to 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine in coming months, should the opportunity arise.

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

ADDRESS BY DR DENIS CLARKE AT THE GENERAL MEETING HELD AT
LEVEL 20, CMA CENTRE, 500 COLLINS STREET, MELBOURNE
ON WEDNESDAY 28 JUNE 2006 AT 3PM.

Before I talk specifically about the business of this meeting, I would like to make some general comments on the Company's present situation, and in so doing hopefully answer questions that are presently concerning some of our shareholders.

I will start by reiterating that what we are doing now - and why we are here today - is all about the reopening of the Beaconsfield Mine and the continuation of what we still consider to be a profitable mining venture going forward.

It is now more than two months since the Anzac Day incident at the Beaconsfield mine, and while much has happened in the intervening period there remains much to be done.

With the extreme uncertainty resulting from the closure of the Beaconsfield mine on 25 April, your directors had no alternative but to approach the Australian Stock Exchange to request a suspension of trading in the Company's shares, due to the absence of a fully informed market.

The company is in regular contact with the ASX with a view to recommencing trading at the earliest possible time. However, it is likely that the trading suspension will remain until a clearer picture emerges of when, and under what circumstances, the Beaconsfield Mine will be allowed to reopen. Particular uncertainties relate to future mining methods, ore reserves and operating costs. Shareholders will be kept fully informed through the Company's continuous disclosure obligation to the Australian Stock Exchange, and we have updated the ASX regularly during this process whenever there is anything material or of significance to disclose.

That leads me to the question of the Beaconsfield Mine, and specifically to the timing of a reopening.

Immediately following the incident on 25 April, Workplace Standards Tasmania, through the Chief Inspector of Mines, suspended mining activity at Beaconsfield.

Subsequently the mine was issued with two notices under the Tasmanian Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995, each of which requires certain steps to be completed before the mine can progressively reopen.

Work is underway to satisfy these requirements, which will principally involve detailed geotechnical studies of the mining activities. While we do not have an accurate estimate on timing of their completion, it is anticipated that at least a further two to three months work will be required before any ore mining activity can recommence.

In the meantime, essential care and maintenance activities are being carried out underground by a core workforce. This workforce retains the skills required to re-open the mine in due course. The processing plant is also being well-maintained with a focus on keeping the bacterial leaching circuit in a good state to recommence treatment of ore.

One of the obvious consequences of the mine closure is the cessation of gold deliveries and the resultant impact on the cash position of Beaconsfield Gold. I am pleased to report that cash on hand is sufficient to finance our share of budgeted costs and other obligations well past an expected reopening date of the mine.

Again, should you have questions on these or other issues that I have not covered, I will be pleased to answer them after the conclusion of the formal business of the meeting.

Now to the only resolution to be considered today, which is seeking shareholder approval for the issue of up to 60 million new shares to sophisticated and professional investors at a price of at least 34 cents per share.

I would like to briefly explain the reasoning behind this proposal, and specifically why the placement is necessary, and why it is being made only to professional and sophisticated investors.

Beaconsfield Gold remains committed to the long term future of mining at Beaconsfield based on the safe extraction of remaining gold resources in the existing mine and the excellent prospectivity for new discoveries in the surrounding tenements.

To date Beaconsfield Gold has been the minority participant in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture which is managed by the majority participant, Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement). However, should that situation change, Beaconsfield Gold has the appropriate management and Board expertise required to operate the Beaconsfield Mine and successfully carry out the systematic regional exploration required.

Approval of the resolution will position the Company so that it can acquire, at short notice, the Allstate group's interest in the Beaconsfield Mine, if that interest becomes available, either via a direct purchase or by exercising Beaconsfield Gold's comprehensive pre-emptive rights under the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture Agreement.

The placement, which will occur only if the Allstate group's interest becomes available, will necessarily be made to sophisticated and professional investors.

It should be understood that only those types of investors can acquire new shares in the Company without the Company issuing a prospectus, which it is currently not able to do given the uncertainties associated with the re-opening of the mine.

We have received strong indications of support for the placement from a number of investors, which reflects an equally positive view towards the future re-opening of the mine shared by the board and management - though it is obviously conditioned by the understanding of the risks involved.

It is extremely important that Beaconsfield Gold maximises its chances of moving to 100% ownership of the Beaconsfield Mine in coming months, and approval of this resolution will place the Company in a strong position to act promptly if and when an opportunity arises.

Notwithstanding the level of uncertainty I have described, your directors expect strong interest in the placement among a range of professional and sophisticated investors.

At the appropriate stage in both the placement and any prospective acquisition of the Allstate interest in the joint venture, we will of course ensure shareholders and the market are kept informed.

Denis Clarke,
Chairman.
