Executive Summary

Aruma has a clear strategy to systematically explore the gold mineralisation potential of a growing landholding in WA’s Eastern Goldfields with a view to developing a gold production hub centred around its flagship Glandore project.

The Company is continuing its tenure growth strategy in this proven and prolific gold address, and, during the quarter under review increased the hub-projects area to 534km[2] , encompassing prospective gold projects within a 60km radius of the Glandore Project.

In addition to the Glandore and Glandore Hub concepts, Aruma continues to amass and explore a number of satellite projects in the region, which exhibit typical gold-bearing structures and all of which are strategically located to the established infrastructure and established mining service centre of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The total regional project landholding now totals leases over an area of some 750km[2] , with further lease applications made during the quarter.

During the quarter, Aruma completed a contractual agreement with CSIRO under the terms of which CSIRO will conduct a Fluid Study over Aruma’s Glandore Project.

The Fluid Study is of major import for Aruma, being a newer exploration target definition technology which, while equally effective as pattern drilling, is quicker and considerably more cost effective.

The Study is expected to be completed before year end to deliver advanced exploration targets under salt lake cover. Aruma is specifically targeting large scale mineralisation, which is typically only identified under cover, and in similar geological settings present in the Glandore landholding.

As a point of comparison, a pattern drilling programme over the same area would entail some 20,000m of drilling and associated assay analysis and interpretation, and would be considerably slower, more costly and more management intensive for the same results.

In other progress, Aruma completed Heritage Clearance at the Company’s Steeple Hill prospect at its Kurnalpi South Project, and submitted an additional lease application in the vicinity of Steeple Hill on a major geological structure.

First phase drilling is also underway at the Company’s Laverton East Project following some delays due to wet weather.

Exploration Activities Glandore Leases

During the Quarter, Aruma announced that CSIRO will commence a Fluid Flow study at its flagship Glandore Project. The study will assist in identifying potential for the presence of a gold mineralised system using the data from the recent Gravity Survey, detailed magnetics, geochemical and structural modelling and geology from both drilling and mapping.

This modelling has been successful in generating targets in the east Kalgoorlie area that have yielded major new deposits in similar structural environments i.e. Integra’s French Kiss, Salt Creek and Majestic Deposits. The results for this study are scheduled to be finalised by the end of Q2 2011-12.

The Glandore Lease package now has a total area of 41.1 km[2] , strategically located close to Kalgoorlie’s Golden Mile and infrastructure, and a number of successful, producing gold operations.

Glandore Hub

With the success of surrounding companies in assembling large resources in the Kurnalpi Terrane, the Company is progressing its strategic focus on proving mineralisation to develop Glandore as a regional gold production hub. This will consist of the Glandore Project with regional satellites at Gindalbie and the Kurnalpi South Tenements. The leases in a 60km radius of Glandore now total some 534 km[2] .

North Eastern Goldfields Projects Progressing

The Company started its initial drilling at the Laverton East project at the end of the quarter, and finished Phase 1 in mid July. The first phase of drilling was done to investigate large anomalies identified in both rock chip sampling and Hyvista alteration mapping.

The leases applied for at Darlot East and North, as well as Patricia fit the Company model as they are on good structures in prospective rock types and near granites.

The Company is committed to advancing its projects and expanding the lease base in prospective areas. All the leases will benefit from the new cutting edge technology that has led to recent large gold discoveries in WA.

About Aruma

Aruma Resources (ASX: AAJ) is a focussed gold exploration company with seven prospective project areas within the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. Inclusive of several tenements which are still under application, Aruma’s tenement package now totals approximately 770km[2] located 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. 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.

The Company is committed to generating resources through land acquisition and utilising new exploration technologies ensuring a minimal cost per ounce of discovery.
