Exploration Program - Key Projects 2009

  • Table Hill Manganese (+nickel)

  • Complete AEM coverage, ground EM & sampling to optimise drill sites - drill 5 to 10 targets in 2009

  • Skillion Hill Manganese

  • AEM coverage over key area, ground EM & sampling to optimise drill sites – drill best targets in 2009

  • Diamantina Copper-Gold

  • Trial deep electrical geophysics at Machattie, survey key anomalies, drill best targets in 2009/2010

Exploration Program - Key Projects 2009

  • Pilbara Iron Ore Prospects

  • Resource drilling, scoping study at Rocklea CID

  • Drill test CID potential at Tom Price South

  • Reconnaissance drilling for CID near Paraburdoo

  • Drill test Marra Mamba potential at Nameless

  • Nickel, Gold

New Opportunities - 2009

  • Bear Market conditions expected to present numerous opportunities for cashed-up companies

  • Company well placed to actively evaluate new opportunities

  • Target advanced exploration projects with large size potential

  • Focus on major commodities (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Au) preferably in Australia but also off-shore

  • Time frame – 6 to 12 months
