Dear Sir,

Widespread Portfolios Net Asset Backing

We wish to advise that the unaudited net asset backing per Widespread Portfolios share, as at 7 a.m. today, ranges from 44.0 cents to 48.6 cents.

The lower figure is based on the most recent sale price of AMR shares in Canada, the higher one is based on our share of AMR’s net assets. We consider the latter approach relevant as, despite recent dilution of our holding in percentage terms, we still hold a strategic stake and have both board representation in AMR and a continuing management influence.

We don’t consider the most recent sale price in Canada to be an accurate indicator of AMR’s enterprise value as the stock is very thinly traded. The top 20 AMR shareholders are long-term holders who collectively hold 98.6% of the company and most of the remaining smaller shareholdings are registered in New Zealand and are therefore not easily traded in Canada

Portfolio Weighting

As can be seen from the table below the AMR shareholding is no longer our key asset. Our direct and indirect holdings in the Chatham Rise Rock Phosphate Project now hold that position.

Dear Sir,

Chatham Rise Rock Phosphate Project Update

Widespread Portfolios owns 10% of this project and holds another 18% indirectly through its 20% holding in Widespread Energy (the project operator).

The Chatham Rise rock phosphate project is making rapid progress in evaluating the viability of its undersea reserves.

The Widespread Energy Ltd and Widespread Portfolios Ltd joint venture has established a team of key technical, environmental, financial and other experts to bring together and evaluate existing data.

These include people who investigated the potential of the resource in the 1980s and have a wealth of knowledge. The technical advisers and Widespread directors have recently met in Wellington for a two day workshop to share knowledge, identify information gaps and plan the next steps in the years one and two work programmes for the project.

Key steps include:

· The data gathered in the exploration voyages of RV Valdivia and RV Sonne in the late 1970s and early 1980s has now been digitised and that data is now being analysed.

· A dialogue has also recently been initiated with representatives of the German organisations that played a central role in the exploration role in the early 1980s.

· Further work is also being undertaken with several undersea mining organisations to evaluate the optimal approach to extraction of the joint venture’s seabed rock phosphate resource.

Project Director Chris Castle also attended last week’s Australian fertiliser industry annual conference and while there met representatives of a number of fertiliser manufacturers and users.
He will also be presenting a paper at a conference on undersea mining in Russia in October.

In conjunction with profile raising for the project, a six page fold-out marketing brochure has been produced and is available to view and download on the project website rockphosphate.co.nz.

“We’re achieving significant progress on a number of fronts and this project is developing a lot of momentum. We want to be in a position to complete our first year report to Crown Minerals well within the specified time frame,” Mr Castle said.

On behalf of the Board

31 July 2010

Dear Sir,

Widespread’s Asian Minerals details nickel reserve increase

Asian Mineral Resources (“ASN”) is one of Widespread’s largest investments. This 4.3% shareholding (presently held at independent valuation based on our share of net assets) represents 24.7% of Widespread’s total assets.

ASN made the announcement below in Canada last night concerning a 50% increase in reserves in the massive sulphide ore body. It follows recent announcements about increased resource status in each of the two ore bodies at Ban Phuc.

As the report notes, “the increase in reserves will have a major impact on the project economics and will afford ASN the flexibility to increase mine output to take advantage of spare capacity in the current Ban Phuc process plant design. This is expected to translate to a significant increase in annual metal production”.

This is more good news for ASN that might one day be noticed by market observers.

Asian Mineral Resources Ltd announces 50% increase to Ban Phuc nickel reserves

Toronto, Ontario – July 30, 2010, Asian Mineral Resources Limited (“AMR”) (TSX-V: ASN) announced today an increase in the massive sulphide Ni/Cu reserves at its Ban Phuc project in north western Vietnam. The 36,000t of nickel estimated to be contained in the proven and probable reserves is an increase of 12,000t Ni (+50%) over previously reported estimates. The estimated contained copper has also increased by 6,000t (+60%) and now stands at 16,000t (Table 1).

Table 1: Ban Phuc Project Reserve Statement

Ban Phuc – Massive Sulphide Reserves
Category	Tonnes (MT)	Ni (%)	Cu (%)	Co (%)	Contained Nickel (000’t)	Contained Copper (000’t)	Contained Cobalt (000’t)

Probable	0.91	2.1	1.0	0.04	19	9	0.4
Total	1.62	2.2	1.0	0.05	36	16	0.8

The Qualified Person for the new reserve estimate and National Instrument 43-101 compliance is Chris Desoe, BE (Mining), Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM), Member Mineral Industry Consultants Association, of Australian Mine Design and Development Pty Ltd (AMDAD). Mr. Desoe has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity he is undertaking, to act as a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Desoe consents to the inclusion of such information in this news release in the form and context in which it appears.

“This result further demonstrates the potential of our Ban Phuc asset and comes on the back a successful campaign targeted at improving project value. The increase in reserves will have a major impact on the project economics and will afford us the flexibility to increase mine output to take advantage of spare capacity in the current Ban Phuc process plant design. We expect this will translate to a significant increase in annual metal production” commented Rob Guest, CEO of AMR.

The experience gained during the development of the two portals (Figure 1) and the exposure of the orebody on two separate horizons provided valuable insight into the geology and ground conditions that can be expected during production and this, together with the increased confidence in the resource, precipitated a review of the mine design. Geotechnical studies concluded that the level spacing could be increased from 15m to 20m. In addition the success of the strike drilling program, which confirmed that the deposit is open down dip to the west led to a repositioning of the lower access decline to optimize tramming distances and improve productivity (Figure 2).

Dear Sir,

King Solomon Mines Quarterly Report

China based King Solomon Mines (“KSO”) is one of Widespread’s cornerstone investments, and represents 6.3% of our total assets at its present market value of AUD 5.9 cents a share. We are the largest individual shareholder in KSO with a holding of 11%.

KSO yesterday released its quarterly report to the ASX. This report included for the first time a “strategic summary”, in effect an interpretative section easier for shareholders to follow.

This summary is included below and should be read in the context of the entire quarterly report which is filed with ASX and also available at www.kingsolomonmines.com

Strategic Summary

The company was focused through the quarter on completion of first stage drilling of its Sonid Zuoqi gold projects while at the same time continuing the investigation of its large scale longer-term Bu Dun Hua porphyry copper project.

Early encouragement from drilling has been provided by the discovery of gold at the Mud-house prospect at Sonid North.

Encouragement has also come from identification of a gold-silver prospect adjacent to the Bu Dun Hua porphyry copper prospect. A sample result at surface yielded 481 g/t silver with significant other minerals present. Drilling of this prospect is expected to start on 30 July.

Further encouragement is provided by the veining identified in the drilling at South Ridge (Naogaoshandu) and Round Hill (Beyinhar North). Assays for these prospects are expected in the near future.

Drilling continued on the large scale porphyry copper-molybdenum prospect at Bu Dun Hua. Assays are awaited from 5 diamond holes for 1,422m.

Exploration for the next quarter will focus on following up success in the assay results. An immediate drill target has been identified through the Mud-house results.

23 July 2010

Dear Sir,

Widespread’s Asian Minerals announces further increase in nickel resources

ASN made the announcement below in Canada last night concerning a 55% increase in resources in the disseminated nickel orebody. It follows the recent announcement (9 June 2010) concerning a 40% increase in the massive sulphide orebody resources.

The two increases combined (39,000 tonnes) represent a material change in the measured and indicated categories of the mine resources. To better illustrate this point, the present in-situ market value of the additional 39,000 tonnes of nickel exceeds USD 750 million.

Total measured and indicated resources at Ban Phuc are now 119,200 tonnes with an in-situ market value today of USD 2.35 billion.

And, as the disseminated nickel ore can be blended with the massive sulphide ore when processing, the increased resources also benefit the value of the project by increasing the life of the mine.

Toronto, Ontario – July 22, 2010, Asian Mineral Resources Limited (“AMR”) (TSX-V: ASN) announced today

an increase in the disseminated sulphide resources at its Ban Phuc nickel-copper project in north western

Vietnam. The contained nickel in the Measured and Indicated categories has increased to 73,900t Ni in 12.4MT

@ a grade of 0.59% Ni (Table 1), an increase of 55% over the previous figures.

The Qualified Person for the new estimate and National Instrument 43-101 compliance is Dr Bielin Shi, Member of

the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM), of CSA Global – Perth, Australia. Dr. Shi has

sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration, and to

the activity he is undertaking, to act as a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Dr Shi consents to the inclusion of

such information in this news release in the form and context in which it appears.

This increase in disseminated resources follows the increase in the massive sulphide resources previously

announced and is the result of a concerted drill program designed to test the integrity and continuity of the

disseminated mineralisation which lies in close proximity to the massive resource (Figure 1 & 2).

Figure 1

Together with the recently announced increase in massive sulphide resources the Ban Phuc project now has a

total of 119,200t of nickel contained in a Measured and Indicated resource of 14.1MT @ 0.84% Ni (Table 2)

Within the disseminated resource lies an area of ‘select disseminated’ (Figure 2) which is adjacent to the

massive sulphide and is readily accessible from the underground infrastructure needed to mine the massive

sulphide resource. This zone offers potential for bulk mining methods which could provide supplemental feed

to take advantage of spare capacity in the current Ban Phuc plant design. Preliminary metallurgical test work

has confirmed that Ban Phuc disseminated material can be blended with the massive sulphide and processed

via the existing flowsheet without negatively impacting on recovery or the saleability of the concentrate.

“The definition of the new ‘Select’ disseminated (Table 3) resource in close proximity to the underground

development currently planned that can be treated either concurrently or separately with the massive ore

which opens new possibilities for further value creation and optimization of the underground mine.”

commented Rob Guest, CEO of AMR. “The economics are under review as the wide intersections encountered

offer potential to employ cheaper bulk mining methods and the availability of excess capacity in the process

plant allows the ore to be treated on a marginal basis”.

Company Profile:

Dear Sir,

Widespread’s Asian Minerals announces AGM results

ASN made the announcement below in Canada last night concerning the annual general meeting of shareholders held in Toronto on Friday 9 July.

Our continuing board representation is good news but the removal of the Shareholder Rights Plan is not. In the absence of a Takeovers Code in Canada applicable to ASN the Plan provided certain protection to minority shareholders that has now been removed.

In November 2006 he joined Moto Goldmines Limited as the Financial Director and held the position until the company was taken over by Randgold Resources Limited in late 2009.

Fook Hoy Lai has broad and in depth knowledge of technical, operational, financial and commercial aspects of the metals industry. He was previously the Group Chief Operating Officer, Malaysia Smelting Corporation Berhad. Fook Hoy Lai graduated with BSc (Hons) in Metallurgy and the University Medal from the University of New South Wales in 1974, and subsequently a BSc (Econs) (Hons) degree majoring in Accounting and Finance from the University of London in 1980.

Company Profile:

Dear Sir,

Widespread Portfolios Net Asset Backing

We wish to advise that the unaudited net asset backing per Widespread Portfolios share, as at 8 a.m. today, ranges from 43.1 cents to 72.8 cents, depending on the valuation methodology applied to our major asset, our 4.3% shareholding in Asian Mineral Resources (“AMR”).

AMR valuation approach	AMR Company Valuation (CAD million)	Value of WID’s AMR shareholding (NZD million)	WID Net Assets (NZD million)	WID Net Assets Per share
Share of AMR net assets	49.852	2.943	11.495	48.9
May 2009 20 day VWAP per NZIFRS	34.527	2.059	10.612	45.2
AMR market price today	26.759	1.572	10.124	43.1
Malaysian Smelting project valuation	145.000	8.559	17.112	72.8

Share of AMR net assets

This net assets calculation assumes our Asian Mineral Resource shareholding is valued at our share of AMR’s reported net assets, an approach consistent with our shareholding in AMR and continuing influence within the company including board representation. The most recently published Asian Minerals financial statements (the quarterly report to 31 March 2010) records net assets of CAD 49.852 million.

March 2010 20-day volume weighted average price

Our recently published audited financial statements include the AMR shareholding at the twenty day volume-weighted-average-market price as at 31 March 2010. We consider this price irrelevant as a) it assumes an efficient market exists for AMR shares and b) that the market value of small parcels of AMR shares is the same as that for large holdings. Neither assumption is correct in respect of our Asian Minerals shares

AMR market price today

The last price the AMR shares traded at in Canada. We also consider this price irrelevant for the reasons already stated.

Malaysian Smelting Corporation project valuation

Malaysian Smelting Corporation, a Malaysian listed mining conglomerate also represented on the AMR board, holds the largest shareholding. Its last annual report records that its Asian Minerals shareholding effectively values the company at CAD 145 million. This audited carrying value is based on an audited robust project valuation of the Ban Phuc Nickel Mine forecast cash flows.

Our view

We prefer the bricks and mortar based net assets figure of CAD 49.852 million, partially because this would be the floor price if it were decided by Asian Minerals to sell the project together with the mining license, exploration programme data, and other intellectual property in the company. Approximately CAD 80 million has been invested in the project since 1989.

Your view

We have detailed the various valuation approaches that can be applied to our shareholding in AMR. Given the transparency of this information, our shareholders are now in a position where they can then decide for themselves what they consider to be the value of our shares.
