Dear Sirs:

Investment Agreement

Ocean Resources Capital Holdings Limited (“ORCH”) is pleased to confirm its intention to make an investment in Gold City Industries Ltd. (“the Company”) on the terms set out in this letter.

1.

Investment in the Company

1.1

ORCH will invest in the Company by way of subscription for a £2,400,000, 12% Secured Gold Loan (the “Loan”).

1.2

Subscription for the Loan shall be satisfied by the issue by ORCH of 4,800,000 units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of one ordinary share (“the Shares”) and one warrant (the “Warrants”) in the capital of ORCH at the deemed price of £0.50 per Unit. Each Share will be credited as fully paid, and will rank pari passu in all respects with the issued and outstanding shares in ORCH. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Share together with one secondary warrant at any time during two years following issuance of the Units. The Warrants will not be detachable from the Shares prior to the exercise of the Warrants.

1.3

Subject to the provisions of section 1.11 below, interest at the said rate of 12% per annum shall be paid semi-annually on the last date of December and June of each year, commencing June 30, 2003. The Company irrevocably undertakes that upon receipt of the proceeds of a sale of all or any of the Units by the Company at any time, the Company will place in an escrow account on terms satisfactory to ORCH a sum equal to twenty-four per cent (24%) of the gross sale proceeds which funds standing to the credit of the escrow account shall be used solely for payment of interest on the Loan. The calculation and accrual of interest on the Loan shall commence on the date the Company realizes the first £288,000 from the sale of its Units (to place in escrow for the first year’s interest).

2

1.4

Subject to the provisions of section 1.10, the Loan will be repaid by the Company delivering gold bullion at the value of US$315 per ounce (and the English pound equivalent as of the Closing Date having .9999 fineness and in good London delivery) or the equivalent market value of such gold (determined as the average of the closing bid and ask afternoon price for gold on the London Metal Exchange on the date of payment) as directed by ORCH.

1.5

The Loan will be for a term of three years, and will be due and payable on the third anniversary date (the “Maturity Date”) of the date Units are issued and advanced to the Company hereunder (the “Closing Date”).

1.6

In addition, as partial consideration for the Loan, the Company agrees to issue and deliver to ORCH 5,500,000 share purchase warrants (or such lesser number as approved by the TSX Venture Exchange, or as accepted by ORCH), each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company for a period of two years at the greater of (the “Warrant Price”): (i) $0.30 per share in the first year and $0.35 per share in the second year; or (ii) the market price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date of issuance of the warrants, for the first year (increasing by 15% in the second year).

1.7

The Loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without notice or penalty.

1.8

ORCH confirms to the Company that it is the intention of the board of ORCH to seek to have its shares traded on the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) of The London Stock Exchange as soon as reasonably practicable. It is acknowledged by the Company that the allotment and issue of Shares in consideration for the issue of the Loan is not conditional upon such admission.

1.9

In the event the Company realizes net proceeds from the sale of its Units (the “Actual Receipts”) of less than £2,160,000 then the Company will have the right to convert, to shares of the Company, that portion of the Loan equal to the difference between £2,400,000 and the Actual Receipts at a conversion price per share (the “Adjusted Conversion Rate”) equal to the Warrant Price divided by the quotient calculated as the Actual Receipts divided by £2,400,000. For clarity, if the Company elects to convert as above, the Actual Receipts will remain repayable in gold bullion in accordance with section 1.4 above.

1.10

In the event the Actual Receipts are less than £1,680,000 then the Company will also have the right to convert the full amount of interest payable on the Loan, to shares of the Company, at the Adjusted Conversion Rate.

1 11 Notwithstanding Article 4.2, ORCH shall use its best efforts to convert the Company’s 4,800,000 Units of ORCH to £2,400,000 in cash as expeditiously as possible.

1.12

If ORCH fails to gain admission to AIM by March 7, 2003 the transaction will terminate.
