Summary

ARUMA RESOURCES LIMITED ( ASX: AAJ ) (“Aruma” the “Company”) is a gold exploration company which was listed on the ASX on 23[rd] July 2010. Aruma is a focussed West Australian based gold exploration company which has five prospective project areas within the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. Aruma’s tenement package now totals approximately 613km[2] (inclusive of several tenements which are still under application) and all are located on regional structures in the Norseman - Wiluna Greenstone Belt which contains most of Australia's lode-type gold deposits.

Two programmes of reverse circulation drilling were completed during the quarter at the Glandore Project . This drilling was conducted to examine the potential under soil anomalies as well as to investigate a large intersection on the Central Fault Zone.

In addition four new prospecting licences were pegged to extend the lease coverage to the south west. This area is considered prospective as the prospective stratigraphy continues in the area.

QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

The series of small Exploration Licences over prospective ground at Carmella Dam (the Gindalbie Project ) were negotiated and increased in area during the Quarter. These are now consolidated as an Aruma tenement and will be explored after granting.

Several new Exploration Licences were applied for at the Kurnalpi South Project and all the initial lease areas are covered with the Hyvista Mineral Mapping remote sensing method. This has been processed and will be interpreted to define prospective target areas.

During the coming quarter the Company intends to:

• complete and interpret results from the drilling program at Glandore;

• complete the Hyvista interpretation over all the leases;

• submit PoW's for all the anomalous areas identified; and.

• commence geochemical appraisal of regional leases.

• Design a follow up drilling program at Glandore

The Company will remain vigilant for projects that have potential to add value to the Company.

Glandore Leases Extended, Evaluated and Drilling Completed

The flagship Glandore Project was evaluated by two RC drilling programmes for 74 holes totalling 5920m to ascertain trends and evaluate the soil sampling undertaken by previous exploration. The subsequent drill defined anomalies were drilled in the latest program and only 5 initial holes were assayed by the end of the quarter. Of these 4 were anomalous and to date included AGR50 which intersected 1m at 1.07g/t from 15m and is located south of AGR28. The results are tabulated in Table 1 below.

Figure 1 below shows the high proportion of holes that encountered anomalous gold mineralisation in Red (>1.0 g/t) and Yellow (>0.1 g/t). The Hyvista and ground mapping has confirmed the Central Fault Zone (also referred to as the Eastern Shear, but too likely confused with The East Lode) to be of interest and has numerous small pits along its 3km length.

The innovative Hyvista Mineral Mapping method was been used on all of the existing Projects and the reported areas are shown in Figure 3. Initial studies have identified the alteration associated with gold in previously explored areas at Glandore, with similar alteration evident in all the areas studied.

This interpretation and report was completed for the Glandore and Kurnalpi South areas during the quarter. The data interpretation for the remaining areas and site selection will happen early in the coming Quarter and evaluated by comparison with existing data and ground inspection. This was underway at the time of writing this report.

Strong surface Goethite-Mica-Carbonate anomalies have been noted and targets are being identified and ranked by the Hyvista Corporation with input from the Aruma Exploration team. These will be investigated by soil and auger sampling in the next quarter.

Figure 4 below demonstrates the mineral occurrence maps that are generated from Hyvista. The Chlorite Scapolite alteration is easily visible in the Steeple Hill Area shown above.

QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

Background

Aruma is a focussed West Australian based gold exploration company which has 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 613km[2] .

The flagship Glandore Project is approximately 40km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Previous exploration of the Glandore Project, has identified several advanced exploration areas and some twenty under-explored prospective exploration targets.

The Kurnalpi South Project lies approximately 100km to the east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and comprises several gold exploration prospects including Lake Yindarlgooda, Christmas Well, Pinnacles South, Mt Quin and Steeple Hill, within a minimally explored area of a greenstone belt that hosts several major mines.

The Laverton East Project is located approximately 20km east of Laverton. Previous exploration of the area includes relatively shallow RAB drilling over much of the tenement and reconnaissance rock chip sampling returned several gold assays of greater than 0.2 g/t. An EL over 80 km[2] has been applied for to the north of the current leases at Paul Well in the prospective stratigraphy.

The Jundee South Project is approximately 50km to the east of Wiluna within the Yandal Greenstone belt. The Gourdis alluvial deposits are thought to have been derived from the west, near or on the Aruma Lease.

Each of the project areas can be readily accessed from the regional towns of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Laverton or Wiluna.
