Welcome
Over the past few months, AMMG has made some significant achievements:
The Company secured the Green Range Coal Project in the Great Southern region of Western Australia near Albany. Based on exploration work by BHP and Rio Tinto (CRA) in the 1980s, AMMG has set an exploration target of 400-500Mt* of steaming or sub-bituminous coal.
The development of AMMG’s aluminous clay to alumina process technology is well underway, with the first out of four milestones achieved last month. AMMG is looking forward to announcing advances on the technology once further milestones are met.

AMMG conducted a site reconnaissance at its 100% owned mineral sands project at Gairdner, Western Australia.

The state government program will award up to 50% of the direct drilling costs. Drill program preparations are underway, with the drilling program scheduled to commence in early 2013.

The Company’s unique aluminous clay to alumina processing technology moved forward when AMMG’s chemical consultants achieved the first out of four milestones.
The aluminous clay used in the testing was extracted from AMMG’s four 100% owned project areas: Meckering, Kellerberrin, Kerrigan and tage over existing competitors as Bobalong. The project areas are in close proximity to either the Kwinana port or Albany port, and existing rail infrastructure.
The acid-based processing technology aims at producing high purity alumina (99.99%) and smelter grade (99%) alumina.

Results of the program will be announced once the core has been cut and sent for DTR analysis and then interpreted by the geology team.
Diamond drilling commenced at AMMG’s 100% owned Southdown Extension Iron Ore Project in July, to extend the known depth of the expected mineralisation.
The two settlements for the purchase of the 80% and 20% respectively occurred in August for tenement E70/2640.
After the successful completion of the stage 1 RC drill program, This resulted in AMMG issuing results indicated an average 6.25 million fully paid shares and concentrate of 68% iron and an 2.5 million 20 cent options. average mass recovery of 35%.
The Southdown Extension project is strategically located approximately 80km from the town and port of Albany.
Further Southdown Extension project updates will announced in the coming months.

AUSTRALIA MINERALS & MINING GROUP LTD (AMMG) was incorporated on 8th May 2007, for the purpose of securing tenements over land that had been subject to historical exploration and where significant geological data was available and/or the land was considered sufficiently prospective due to proximity to existing resources and infrastructure.
==> picture [357 x 243] intentionally omitted <==
The Company has identified nine separate project areas, located in Western Australia and Queensland, which the Directors believe has the potential for the realisation of economic resources of these commodities - iron ore, aluminous clay/aluminous clay, coal , gypsum, mineral sands, salt and gold.
The Company has 20 granted tenements and 42 applications for tenements covering in excess of 12,383km² over the nine project areas.
