APPENDIX 4C AND QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

ASF Group Limited ( ASX Code AFA ) is pleased to release its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2009.

The Company also reports on the exploration activities of its wholly owned subsidiary, ASF Resources Pty Limited (ASFR).

Canning Basin, Western Australia (E04/1428, 1433‐1436, 1512 and Applications E04/1670, 1774, 1886, 1887)

A work program for 12,000m of mud rotary and diamond drilling has been lodged for approval with the W.A Department of Mines and Petroleum. The drilling program is scheduled to commence in the June quarter 2009. Approval has also been sought for the drilling of water bores from the WA Department of Water, as part of this program.

The initial drilling program is designed to assess the coal potential of the granted tenements and will be undertaken over a 2‐3 month period. The drilling contract was tendered during the quarter and discussions were held with geophysical contractors who will survey all holes during the program for coal related geophysical parameters to assist in definition of the coal seams.

MBA Petroleum Consultants (MBA) were contracted to collate and interpret all available seismic and petroleum well information with a view to delineating the depth and thickness of coal seams within the Company’s tenements. Results from this study are expected to be available in the June quarter, 2009.

Tasmania (EL14 & 15/2007 and EL55/2007)

During the quarter ASFR conducted a field visit to the three Tasmanian tenements to assist with developing an exploration strategy. Exploration is likely to include a combination of geological mapping and geochemical sampling along with targeted small geophysical surveys likely to commence in the September quarter, 2009.

Direct exploration expenditure during the quarter was $75,396.00.

The Company is currently in discussions with investors to provide additional working capital which would be used in part to fund the Canning Basin exploration program. The Company also has access

to funds from the previously reported funding arrangement entered into with Goldchoice Investments Ltd in February 2009.
