----- Start of picture text -----

Project Locations
----- End of picture text -----

Aruma (ASX: AAJ) is a focussed gold exploration company with eight prospective project areas within the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The Company is committed to generating resources through land acquisition and utilising new exploration technologies ensuring a minimal cost per ounce of discovery.

Inclusive of several tenements which are still under application, Aruma’s has increased its tenement package to over 1,000km[2] on regional structures in the Norseman - Wiluna Greenstone Belt which contains most of Australia's lode-type gold deposits. The flagship Glandore Project is approximately 40km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Previous exploration of the Glandore Project has been focussed on or near areas of outcrop. The areas covered by soil or lake sediments have been largely ignored by past explorers but are now the focus of many successful companies in the immediate area. The Glandore Hub Project is situated <60km to the east of Glandore and comprises several gold exploration projects including Kurnalpi South prospects, Gindalbie and Bulong within an underexplored greenstone belt that hosts several major new discoveries.

==> picture [302 x 444] intentionally omitted <==

Just outside of this area is the Patricia Lease which has the covered extensions of a gold belt to the north and south.

The Laverton East, Darlot and Jundee South Projects are the northern projects, and the Laverton Projects anomalies were drilled at the end of the quarter. Each of the project areas can be readily accessed from the regional towns of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Laverton or Wiluna.

Aruma has an experienced Board and management team, with a shared vision of advancing its Glandore hub concept through from exploration and resource definition to a scalable gold producer.
