Crocodile Gold’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) is currently negotiating with the Luxor Group regarding the potential improvement of certain terms of the Luxor Offer, including price. The Board is also considering the strategic alternatives available to the Company. As a result, the Directors’ Circular asks Shareholders to defer making a decision on tendering their shares to the Luxor Offer until there is further communication from the Board of Directors in a supplemental directors’ circular, which will be sent to shareholders at least seven days before the scheduled expiry date of the Luxor Offer.

In response to the Luxor Offer, a special committee of the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee“) has been constituted with the mandate to review and consider the Luxor Offer and alternatives to it that would maximize value for Crocodile Gold and Shareholders. The Board of Directors does not believe it is in a position to make a recommendation with respect to the Luxor Offer until these negotiations have been terminated or concluded and the Special Committee and Board of Directors have assessed the Luxor Offer, as it may have been amended or varied as a result of the negotiations. There can be no assurance that the terms of the Luxor Offer will be amended or varied to improve such terms. Moreover, the Board of Directors and management of Crocodile Gold continue to explore other alternatives to the Luxor Offer.

The Luxor Offer is currently open until January 30, 2012, and there is no need for Shareholders to do anything immediately. Crocodile Gold advises Shareholders to TAKE NO ACTION in response to the Luxor Offer at this time.
