ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your directors submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2010.

DIRECTORS

The names of Alchemy Resources Limited’s (“Alchemy” or “Company”) directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Warwick Davies John Arbuckle Jeff Moore Appointed 1 December 2010 Michael Hannington Resigned 14 February 2011 Robert Downey Resigned 14 February 2011

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The company’s activities are reported in announcements to the ASX. Highlights of the half year to 31 December 2010 include:

Magnus Copper Project (Alchemy 100%)

Alchemy continued systematic exploration at the Magnus Copper Project including targeted RC drilling of VTEM (helicopter borne electromagnetic survey) conductors, interpretation of surface geochemistry and geophysical surveys and delineation of additional drill targets. Alchemy is exploring for repeats of copper-gold mineralisation discovered at Sandfire Resources NL’s DeGrussa copper-gold deposit.

Following completion of the third RC drilling program in November 2010, a total of 42 RC holes have now been drilled at the Magnus Copper Project.

A number of VTEM targets remain untested. Alchemy will plan follow up drilling based on a re-ranking of the VTEM targets and results from the DHEM survey expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2011.

Alchemy plans to undertake large reconnaissance drilling campaigns over the Magnus Copper Project area during 2011 to follow up on, as yet, untested gold and copper soil anomalies.

Alchemy’s drilling program at Magnus has highlighted the difficult nature of targeting repeats of the DeGrussa copper-gold discovery. Nevertheless, Alchemy is committed to thoroughly and systematically exploring the Magnus Copper Project area for both copper mineralisation and for ‘gold only’ mineralised systems, such as the recent Central Bore gold discovery. Drilling to date has confirmed that the Magnus project area is highly fertile for the discovery of copper and ‘gold only’ mineralised systems.

It is anticipated that following the detailed review of exploration results including end-of-hole assays etc, a clearer picture of the exploration techniques required at Magnus will be identified. It is hoped that more targeted exploration will occur as a direct result of this review.

Gascoyne Gold Projects (Alchemy 100%)

Hermes – Alchemy completed a diamond drilling program in August 2010 and submitted oxide core material from the Hawkeye and Trapper resource areas to Amdel for metallurgical test-work. The results of the test work, received in January 2011, are being interpreted by a consulting metallurgist to assist in determining the ease of extracting gold from the resource.

3

ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT

Samples from drilling undertaken in the mid 1990’s provided gold recoveries of over 92% and in combination with the results from the metallurgical test-work are expected to provide sufficient information to progress scoping studies on the processing of ore at the nearby Plutonic mill, 65km north-east of Hermes.

Alchemy’s drilling programs at Hermes during 2009 and 2010 were successful in discovering new gold zones (Trapper West, Winchester and Blake) outside the existing gold resource at Hawkeye and Trapper. The encouraging results outside the known Indicated Resource of 1.7Mt @ 2.4g/t gold (equivalent to 131,000 ounces of gold) , in combination with previous significant drilling intersections and metallurgical test-work, will be utilised to re-estimate gold resources at Hermes.

Wilgeena – A maiden Indicated Resource of 659,480t @ 2.34g/t gold (equivalent to 49,536 ounces of gold) was estimated at the Wilgeena gold deposit and a Mining Lease (M52/1049) granted over the deposit in September 2010.

Diamond drilling was completed at Wilgeena and oxide core material from each of the three discrete ore zones was submitted to Amdel for metallurgical test-work. The results of the test work were received in January 2011 and are being interpreted by a consulting metallurgist to assist in determining the ease of extracting gold from the resource.

A RC drilling program completed in December 2010 intersected wide zones of gold mineralisation outside of the known resource, including 12m @ 7.21g/t gold in WGRC035 and 17m @ 3.26g/t gold in WGRC034.

Programs of work have been approved to drill a combination of diamond and aircore holes in the first quarter of 2011 at Wilgeena to provide key geological information on the nature, orientation and continuity of the high-grade intervals, as well as drill test targets outside the known mineralisation.

The results from the drilling programs and metallurgical test-work will be used to complete a scoping study to determine the economic viability of the gold resource and to establish a timetable for bringing Wilgeena into production.

Central Bore – High-grade gold mineralisation has been intersected by RC drilling at the Central Bore gold prospect. Phase One drilling was co-funded through a grant by the WA Government under the Exploration Incentive Scheme. The best results from two phases of RC drilling in August and November 2010 included:

9m @ 7.19g/t gold (from 35m) and 9m @ 7.82g/t gold (49m) in CBRC004, 13m @ 2.58g/t gold (32m), 3m @ 10.27g/t gold (80m) and 4m @ 5.75g/t gold (86m) in CBRC005,

15m @ 4.89g/t gold ( 84m) in CBRC011, and

16m @ 2.48g/t gold (86m) in CBRC018.

Programs of work have been approved to drill a combination of diamond and aircore holes in the first quarter of 2011 at the Central Bore gold prospect. This work will provide key geological information on the nature, orientation and continuity of the high-grade intervals and the broad mineralised envelope, as well as drill test targets outside the known mineralisation.

Murchison Projects (Alchemy 100% or Alchemy 80%-Jindalee 20%)

Assessment of the Alchemy’s Murchison tenements continued with aircore drilling programs at Big Bell North (Alchemy 100%) and Jeffery Well (Alchemy 80%-Jindalee 20%) in October 2010. Aircore drilling at Big Bell North in-filled a 2.5 km long zone of gold and pathfinder anomalism and returned a number of significant intersections, including 21m @ 0.76g/t gold in BBNAC092. A first-phase aircore drill program at Jeffery Well returned high-grade intersections, including 2m @ 15.27g/t gold in JWAC023, providing a number of additional drill targets.

4

ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT

Programs of work have been approved by the Department of Minerals and Petroleum to drill test targets using a combination of RC and aircore holes in the second quarter of 2011 at Big Bell North and Jeffery Well.

Alchemy acquired the Gidgee South Project and plans to undertake surface geochemistry and firstphase drilling in the first quarter of 2011. The project hosts a high priority gold target identified during regional targeting undertaken following development of Alchemy’s three dimensional geological model covering the Murchison District. The acquisition of the project provides further highly prospective exploration ground over the Big Bell – Meekatharra shear, which hosts the Big Bell gold deposit (3.9 Moz) to the south.

Corporate activity

Alchemy continues to control costs while actively exploring its project areas. At 31 December 2010, Alchemy had $6.7 million in cash.

The conversion of 20.4 million listed options during the half year increased cash on hand by $5.1 million.

Alchemy continues to seek ‘value creating’ acquisitions in the Murchison and Gascoyne Districts of both early stage exploration projects and more advanced projects with resources able to be developed in the near-term.

On 26 July 2010, Alchemy announced an action commenced in the Western Australian Warden’s Court to seek forfeiture over fifteen tenements adjacent to Alchemy’s tenements that are held by Grosvenor Gold Pty Ltd. Alchemy considers the Grosvenor tenements to be highly prospective for mineralisation similar to Alchemy’s Hermes Gold Project and Sandfire Resources NL’s DeGrussa copper-gold deposit. If this action is successful, and Alchemy acquires Grosvenor’s ground, it will triple Alchemy’s exploration tenure in the Gascoyne District.

Operating Results

The half-yearly report to 31 December 2010 shows an operating loss of $738,613 compared with an operating loss of $555,928 for the half-year ended 31 December 2009.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

Alchemy has obtained an independence declaration from our auditor’s, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, which is included on page 7.

ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR ACCOUNTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Alchemy Resources Limited (“the Company”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 14 March 2011.

Alchemy Resources Limited is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half-year financial report does not include all of the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Report of Alchemy Resources as at 30 June 2010.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Alchemy Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the halfyear ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .

(a) Basis of Preparation

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards, including AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting” and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where stated.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

(b) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

There are no new or revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that impact the half-year financial report.

(c) Significant accounting policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010.

(d) Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company’s financial statements.

[12]

ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Interests in joint venture operations

The Consolidated Entity’s interest in joint venture operations is accounted for by recognising the Consolidated Entity’s share of assets and liabilities from the joint venture, as well as expenses incurred by the Consolidated Entity and the Consolidated Entity’s share of net income earned from the joint venture, in the consolidated financial statements.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGMENT

The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2010.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one business and geographical segment being mineral exploration and prospecting for minerals in Australia.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ALCHEMY RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Alchemy Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Alchemy Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Alchemy Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
