Subject only to the provisions of the Offer regarding withdrawal, the undersigned irrevocably accepts the Offer for such Nevsun Shares upon the terms and conditions contained in the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal and hereby assigns all right, title and interest therein to the Offeror. Unless waived by the Offeror, Shareholders are required to deposit the SRP Right associated with each Nevsun Share prior to the Expiry Time in order to effect a valid deposit of such Nevsun Share or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary with respect thereto.

No additional payment will be made for the SRP Rights and no amount of the consideration to be paid by the Offeror will be allocated to the SRP Rights. The following are the details of the enclosed certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s): NEVSUN SHARES (Please print or type. If space is insufficient, please attach a list to this Letter of Transmittal in the form below.)

Instead, shares are held and registered electronically in the record systems of an issuer s transfer agent, which can be confirmed in the DRS Statement. ** If Nevsun Shares are registered in different names, a separate Letter of Transmittal must be submitted for each different registered Shareholder. See Instruction 3 of this Letter of Transmittal, Signatures. *** Unless otherwise indicated, the total number of Nevsun Shares evidenced by all certificates or DRS Statements delivered will be deemed to have been deposited.

All cash payments under the Offer will be made in Canadian dollars. Settlement with each Shareholder who has deposited (and not withdrawn) Nevsun Shares under the Offer that have been taken up and accepted for payment will be made by the Depositary by issuing, or causing to be issued, a cheque (except for payments in excess of C$25 million, which will be made by wire transfer, as set out below) payable in Canadian funds in the amount to which the Shareholder depositing Nevsun Shares is entitled. Unless otherwise directed in this Letter of Transmittal, the cheque will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Nevsun Shares so deposited. Unless the undersigned instructs the Depositary to hold the cheque for pick-up by checking the appropriate box in this Letter of Transmittal, the cheque will be forwarded by first class mail to such Shareholder at the address specified in this Letter of Transmittal.

However, an Intermediary through which a Shareholder owns Nevsun Shares may charge a fee to tender any such Nevsun Shares on behalf of the Shareholder. Shareholders should consult such Intermediary to determine whether any charge will apply. By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language form of Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Offer as accepted through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language.

Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery If a Shareholder wishes to deposit Nevsun Shares under the Offer and: (i) the certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing the Nevsun Shares is (are) not immediately available; (ii) the Shareholder cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer of the Nevsun Shares on a timely basis; or (iii) the certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) and all other required documents cannot be delivered to the Depositary at or prior to the Expiry Time, those Nevsun Shares may nevertheless be deposited validly under the Offer provided that all of the following conditions are met: (a) (b) (c) the deposit is made by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined below); a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on YELLOW paper) in the form accompanying this Letter of Transmittal, including a guarantee of delivery by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery at or prior to the Expiry Time; the certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing all Deposited Nevsun Shares in proper form for transfer and, if the Separation Time has occurred at or prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates have been distributed to Shareholders prior to the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificate(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights, in proper form for transfer, together with this properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, with signature(s) guaranteed, if required, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to such Deposited Nevsun Shares and, in the case of DTC accounts, this properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, with signature(s) guaranteed, if required, or an Agent s Message in lieu thereof, and all other documents required by the terms of the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as specified in this Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second trading day on the TSX after the Expiry Time; and 11

12 (d) in the case of SRP Rights, where the Separation Time has occurred prior to the Expiry Time but Rights Certificates have not been distributed to the Shareholders prior to the Expiry Time, the Rights Certificate(s) representing the deposited SRP Rights, together with this properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, with signature(s) guaranteed, if required, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to such deposited SRP Rights and, in the case of DTC accounts, this properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, with signature(s) guaranteed, if required, or an Agent s Message in lieu thereof, and all other documents required by the terms of the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario as specified in this Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second trading day on the TSX after Rights Certificates are distributed to Shareholders. If a Shareholder delivered a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in respect of Nevsun Shares deposited with this Letter of Transmittal, the election (or deemed election) made in that Notice of Guaranteed Delivery as to the consideration to be received will supersede any election made in this Letter of Transmittal. The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered by hand or courier or mailed to the Depositary at its office at 130 King Street West, Suite 2950, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E2, as specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery at or prior to the Expiry Time and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Letter of Transmittal and accompanying certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing Nevsun Shares and all other required documents to an address other than those specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery does not constitute delivery for purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery. Notices of Guaranteed Delivery submitted through CDSX will be received and accepted once the Nevsun Shares are available and within two trading days after the Expiry Date. An Eligible Institution means a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank or an eligible guarantor institution with membership in an approved Medallion signature guarantee program, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP) or a member of the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (MSP). Members of these programs are usually members of a recognized stock exchange in Canada or the United States, members of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or banks in Canada or the United States. 3. Signatures This Letter of Transmittal must be completed and executed by the Shareholder accepting the Offer described above or by such Shareholder s duly authorized representative (in accordance with Instruction 4 below). (a) (b) If this Letter of Transmittal is executed by the registered holder(s) of the accompanying certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s), such signature(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must correspond exactly with the name(s) as registered or as written on the face of such certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) without any change whatsoever, and the certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) need not be endorsed. If such deposited certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) are owned of record by two or more joint holders, all such holders must execute this Letter of Transmittal. Notwithstanding Instruction 3(a), if this Letter of Transmittal is executed by a Person other than the registered holder(s) of the accompanying certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s), or if this Letter of Transmittal is executed other than exactly as the name of the registered Shareholder appears on the share certificate or DRS Statement, or if the cheque(s) is (are) to be issued or sent to a Person other than the registered holder(s), or if the certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing Nevsun Shares in respect of which the Offer is not being accepted is (are) to be returned to a Person other than such registered holder(s) or sent to an address other than the address of the registered holder(s) shown on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of Nevsun: 12

13 (i) the accompanying certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) must be endorsed or be accompanied by an appropriate share transfer power of attorney, in either case, duly and properly completed by the registered holder(s); (ii) (iii) the signature on the endorsement panel or share transfer power of attorney must correspond exactly to the name(s) of the registered holder(s) as registered or as written on the face of the certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s); and such signature must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (except that no guarantee is required if the signature is that of an Eligible Institution). 4. Fiduciaries, Representatives and Authorizations Where this Letter of Transmittal, or any share certificate of DRS Statement or share transfer power of attorney is executed by a Person as an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian, or on behalf of a corporation, partnership or association or is executed by any other Person acting in a representative capacity, such Person should so indicate when signing and this Letter of Transmittal must be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of the authority to act. Either the Offeror or the Depositary, at its sole discretion, may require additional evidence of authority or additional documentation. 5. Delivery Instructions If any cheque(s) is (are) to be sent to or if certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing Nevsun Shares in respect of which the Offer is not being accepted is (are) are to be returned to someone at an address other than the address of the Shareholder as it appears in Block A on this Letter of Transmittal, entitled Registration and Payment Instructions, then Block B on this Letter of Transmittal, entitled Delivery Instructions, should be completed. If Block B is not completed, any cheque(s) will be mailed to the depositing Shareholder at the address of such Shareholder as it appears in Block A or, if no address is provided in Block A, then it will be mailed to the address of such Shareholder as it appears on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of Nevsun. Any share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) and/or cheque(s) mailed in accordance with the terms of the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal will be deemed to be delivered at the time of mailing. 6. Partial Deposits If fewer than the total number of Nevsun Shares evidenced by any certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) submitted is to be deposited, fill in the number of Nevsun Shares to be deposited in the appropriate space on this Letter of Transmittal. In such case, new certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) for the number of Nevsun Shares not deposited under the Offer will be sent to the registered holder as soon as practicable after the Expiry Time (unless such holder completes Block B on this Letter of Transmittal). The total number of Nevsun Shares evidenced by all certificates delivered will be deemed to have been deposited unless otherwise indicated. Note that this Instruction is not applicable to Shareholders who deposit their Nevsun Shares by book-entry transfer. 7. Form W-9 for U.S. Shareholders Only United States federal income tax Law generally requires a U.S. Shareholder who receives cash in exchange for Nevsun Shares to provide the Depositary with its correct Taxpayer Identification Number ( TIN ), which, in the case of a Shareholder who is an individual, is generally the individual s social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount equal to 24% of the gross proceeds of any payment received hereunder. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by filing a U.S. tax return and complying with all other necessary requirements. 13

14 To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Shareholder must provide its correct TIN by completing the Form W-9 set forth in this document, which requires the Shareholder to certify under penalties of perjury, (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such Shareholder is awaiting a TIN), (2) that (i) the Shareholder is exempt from backup withholding; (ii) the Shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends; or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Shareholder that he or she is no longer subject to backup withholding; and (3) that the Shareholder is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including a U.S. resident alien). Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN on Form W-9, check the appropriate box for Exempt Payee, and sign and date the form. See the instructions on Form W-9 (the W-9 Instructions ) for additional instructions. If Nevsun Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed W-9 Instructions for information on which TIN to report. If a U.S. Shareholder does not have a TIN, such holder should: (i) consult the enclosed W-9 Instructions for instructions on applying for a TIN, (ii) write Applied For in the space for the TIN in the Form W-9; and (iii) sign and date the Form W-9. In such case, the Depositary may withhold 24% of the gross proceeds of any payment made to such holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary, and if the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within sixty (60) days, such amounts will be paid over to the Internal Revenue Service. If a Shareholder has a U.S. address, but is not a U.S. Shareholder, such holder is required to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status, signed under penalties of perjury. Such appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary. A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE FORM W-9 SET FORTH IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR A NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO HAS A U.S. ADDRESS AND FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 24% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD. IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED BY FILING A TAX RETURN WITH THE IRS AND COMPLYING WITH ALL OTHER NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING. 8. Currency of Payment All cash payments under the Offer will be made in Canadian dollars. 9. Miscellaneous (a) (b) (c) If the space in this Letter of Transmittal is insufficient to list all certificates representing Nevsun Shares or Rights Certificates, additional certificate and number of Nevsun Shares may be included on a separate signed list affixed to this Letter of Transmittal. If Deposited Nevsun Shares are registered in different forms (e.g. John Doe and J. Doe ), a separate Letter of Transmittal should be properly completed and executed for each different registration. Subject to paragraph (f) below, no alternative, conditional or contingent deposits will be accepted. All depositing Shareholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of Deposited Nevsun Shares for payment, except as required by Laws. 14

15 (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) The Offer and all contracts resulting from acceptance thereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein. Each party to any agreement resulting from the acceptance of the Offer unconditionally and irrevocably attorns to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario and all courts competent to hear appeals therefrom. Before completing this Letter of Transmittal, you are urged to read the accompanying Offer and Circular. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including, without limitation, timely receipt) and acceptance of any Nevsun Shares deposited under the Offer will be determined by the Offeror in its sole discretion. Depositing Shareholders agree that such determination will be final and binding. The Offeror reserves the absolute right to reject any and all deposits that it determines not to be in proper form or to any Person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Offer is not being made to, nor will deposits be accepted from or on behalf of, Shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the Laws of such jurisdiction. The Offeror reserves the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities in the deposit of any Nevsun Shares or any notice of withdrawal. There shall be no duty or obligation of the Offeror or the Depositary or any other Person to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any deposit of any Nevsun Shares and any notice of withdrawal and no liability shall be incurred or suffered by any of them for failure to give any such notice. The Offeror s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer and Circular, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and any other related documents will be final and binding. The Offeror reserves the right to permit the Offer to be accepted in a manner other than that set out in the Offer and Circular. Additional copies of the Offer and Circular, this Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained without charge on request from the Depositary at its address specified in this Letter of Transmittal. The Offeror will not pay any fees or commissions to any stockbroker, dealer or other person for soliciting deposits of Nevsun Shares under the Offer, other than to the Depositary and except as otherwise set out in the accompanying Offer and Circular. 10. Lost Certificates If a certificate representing Nevsun Shares has been lost or destroyed, this Letter of Transmittal should be completed as fully as possible and forwarded, together with a letter describing the loss, to the Depositary at its office specified in this Letter of Transmittal. The Depositary will forward such letter to the registrar and transfer agent for the Nevsun Shares so that the registrar and transfer agent may provide replacement instructions. If a certificate representing Nevsun Shares has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or mislaid, the foregoing action must be taken sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time in order to obtain a replacement certificate in sufficient time to permit the Nevsun Shares represented by the replacement certificate to be deposited under the Offer at or prior to the Expiry Time. 11. Assistance Questions or requests for assistance in accepting the Offer, completing this Letter of Transmittal and depositing the Nevsun Shares with the Depositary may be directed to the Depositary. The Depositary s contact details are provided at the end of this document. Shareholders whose Nevsun Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other Intermediary should immediately contact that Intermediary for assistance if they wish to accept the Offer, in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit such Nevsun Shares under the Offer. Intermediaries likely have established tendering cut-off times that are prior to the Expiry Time. Shareholders must instruct their brokers or other intermediaries promptly if they wish to tender. 15
