Report on Mineral Exploration activities for September Quarter 2011

ASF Resources Limited

The company, a controlled entity of ASF Group, holds 8 tenements in the Canning Basin, W.A.

During the Quarter, heritage site clearances were obtained ahead of continuation on the drilling program for coal on the following Exploration Licences: 1670, 1433, 1435 and 1774. Drilling commenced during the Quarter on EL1670.

Drilling season will conclude shortly with the onset of the wet season. A report of the 2011 drilling program will be released when results become available.

Applications have been made for two additional tenements in the Canning Basin.

Tasmania

During the Quarter, China Coal Resources Pty Limited (a partly owned ASF Group entity), carried out extensive soil sampling for base metals and gold on tenement EL55/2007 with the objective of assisting in the identification of drill targets. No on‐ground exploration activity occurred on EL15/2007, held by this company.

ASF Group was granted another Exploration Licence in Tasmania during the Quarter. This tenement, EL23/2011, is in north‐eastern Tasmania and covers old workings for tin at Derby.
