The Private Placement was presented as the only way to raise the necessary funds in a short period of time. Without those funds, we were told, the acquisition could not take place. In other words, the acquisition of Mengapur and the private placement were completed linked. Shareholders had to approve both. As it turns out, Monument was able to complete the acquisition without first raising funds, thus we as shareholders were either misled by management, or circumstances changed. Regardless of the reason, the time constraint, which was the primary reason for the private placement, is no longer present; therefore, the private placement is no longer needed.

Monument Mining Limited Board of Directors & Corporate Secretary 688 West Hastings Street - Suite 910 Vancouver B.C. Canada V6B 1P1 October 4, 2012 Reference: CCP-12-012 – Proposal Pursuant to Sec. 137 of the CBCA Dear Board and Secretary: According to your recently filed annual report, Monument has re-filed its application with the TSX for the proposed Private Placement with Tulum. I have previously spoken with, and written to, CEO Bob Baldock and laid out the basic reasons why this PP is clearly not in the best interests of shareholders. Despite my best efforts, the Board is apparently insistent on pursuing this value destroying action. As a shareholder, we are left with no alternative other than to exercise our rights under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA). Therefore, pursuant to Section 137 of the CBCA, Cedar Creek Partners, the beneficial owner of 551,500 shares of Monument Mining, hereby submits the following proposal for consideration at the next annual meeting and inclusion in the management proxy circular for such meeting:

“The authorization approved on December 30, 2011 to complete a private placement with Tulum Corporation Ltd., which would result in Tulum becoming a new “Control Person” is rescinded effective immediately.”

Supporting Statement to be included in the Management Proxy Circular:

In December 2011 shareholders were presented with the option to approve the Private Placement and the acquisition of Mengapur. The Private Placement was presented as the only way to raise the necessary funds in a short period of time. Without those funds, we were told, the acquisition could not take place. In other words, the acquisition of Mengapur and the private placement were completed linked. Shareholders had to approve both. As it turns out, Monument was able to complete the acquisition without first raising funds, thus we as shareholders were either misled by management, or circumstances changed. Regardless of the reason, the time constraint, which was the primary reason for the private placement, is no longer present; therefore, the private placement is no longer needed.

We believe that existing cash plus the projected cash flows from the Selinsing mine will be sufficient to finance the development of Mengapur in a reasonable period of time. If management believes that it is necessary to raise funds to develop Mengapur, we believe the best course of action is to either commence a secondary offering once the share price closely reflects the intrinsic value of the company, or pursue a rights offering with existing shareholders.
