5.         Full Description of Material Change

 

Queenstake Resources Ltd. (“Queenstake”) announces that pursuant to a final short form prospectus dated March 11, 2005, it has successfully closed its equity financing at the maximum offering amount of  Cdn$20 million (the “Offering”) through a syndicate of agents (“Agents”).  In addition the Agents also exercised their over-allotment option, bringing the total gross proceeds for the financing to Cdn$30 million (approximately US$24.6 million).  The total Offering consisted of 100 million units (the “Units”) with each Unit consisting of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant of Queenstake at a price of Cdn$0.30 per Unit.  Each whole common share purchase warrant (50 million warrants in total) can be exercised to acquire one additional common share of Queenstake at an exercise price of Cdn$0.40 for a period of 24 months. If at any time after six months from the closing of this Offering, the weighted average trading price of Queenstake’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) (or such other exchange or trading market on which the Common Shares principally trade) is Cdn$0.52 or more per common share for a period of thirty consecutive trading days then, upon notice by Queenstake, the holders of such warrants must exercise their warrants within thirty days or they will expire and will no longer be valid. The Agents received a 5% commission on the gross proceeds of the offering.


The net proceeds of the Offering (estimated at approximately Cdn $28.4 million and US $23.3 million) will be used to fund Queenstake’s planned capital expenditures, district exploration, and general working
