QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 30th SEPTEMBER 2011

ANNOUNCEMENT

21 OCTOBER 2011

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Mining Group successfully listed on ASX with positive debut.

  • Field exploration commenced at Boorara and Teutonic Projects.

  • Soil orientation survey completed at Boorara Project.

  • Multi-client detailed aeromagnetic data covering 65% of Teutonic Project area purchased.

  • Review of complementary resource project acquisitions continuing.

Mining Group Limited (ASX:MNE) (“Mining Group” or “the Company”) is a newly listed gold, base metals and uranium mineral exploration and development company with three prospective projects in Western Australia. Mining Group was established to explore, evaluate and acquire commercially significant resource projects in Australia and overseas. Mining Group listed on the ASX on 1 July 2011 with a positive debut after raising $2,500,000 for the exploration of its Western Australian projects and for the identification and evaluation of complementary projects.

During the September 2011 quarter, Mining Group commenced field exploration at its Boorara and Teutonic Projects after engaging the services of experienced geologist Mr Zeffron Reeves (B.Sc (Hons) (Applied Geology) MBA,MAIG) to complement the existing expertise within the Company.

Boorara Project (earning up to 70%)

Field exploration during the quarter identified several historical mine workings and RAB drill holes that the Company was previously not aware of. A subsequent detailed search within the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) databases located several reports detailing work done previously over the project area, which included surface soil sampling and RAB drilling. No production figures or grades have been found during data searches.

173 MOUNTS BAY ROAD PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA 6000 TELEPHONE 08 9322 6424 FACSIMILE 08 9322 6778 www.mininggroup.net.au

A small set of old workings was observed in the northeast of the project area, including two shallow shafts which have exploited a set of boudinaged quartz veins within strongly sheared and intercalated sedimentary and volcanic rocks.

Historic exploration work has been carried out in two phases, the first by Archaean Gold NL during 1994 and the second by Sand Queen Gold Mines Ltd during 1997.

Archaean Gold NL collected 136 soil samples over the project area on a 200m x 80m grid and drilled 6 RAB drill holes targeting down dip and along strike of old workings. A best drill intercept of 4m @ 0.24g/t in BWB005 was reported.

Sand Queen Gold Mines Ltd collected a further 89 soil samples on a 400m x 100m grid and 49 rock chip samples. The best result of the rock chip samples was 1.98g/t obtained from a quartz vein exposure in a small excavated pit.

Both phases of soil sampling identified a zone of gold in soil anomalism over 20 ppb Au along the eastern portion of the project area, approximately 1km in strike length and 100m wide, in close association with the old workings. An anomaly has also been identified in the northwest of the project area which has never been drill tested.

This historic data enhances the prospectivity of the project and as a consequence the Company carried out a first pass soil orientation program at the Boorara Project during the quarter. The program was designed to follow up on the previously identified weak gold in soil anomalism from the historical exploration results and to determine the best soil fraction to gain a maximum gold response.

Two lines were sampled spaced 780m apart, and orientated perpendicular to the interpreted strike of geology, along a bearing of 55°. Each line was 1,325m long and sample sites were located every 25m along lines. Three samples were collected at each sample site of the -6mm fraction, -2mm fraction and the -75µm fraction, to give a total of 318 samples. Samples were submitted to Ultratrace Laboratories, Perth and analysed for gold and 57 trace elements.

Analysis of results showed best response for gold was in the -75µm fraction with strong correlation between Au, Hg and Te, typical of Kalgoorlie style gold bearing systems. Furthermore, along the northernmost line a significant (>40ppb) gold in soil anomaly has been discovered which was undetected from previous work (Appendix 1).

These results are encouraging and the Company plans to conduct a full detailed soil sampling program over the tenements in the coming months.

Teutonic Project (earning up to 70%)

During the quarter the Company purchased a dataset of high resolution detailed magnetic data covering approximately 65% of the project area. This survey was flown in 1997 using a 20m line spacing and a 20m flight height giving exceptionally high quality magnetic data.

The survey data has been processed by Resource Potentials Pty Ltd to produce a suite of images suitable for detailed interpretation of geology and structures thought to control the occurrence of both gold and base metals mineralisation throughout the region. Preliminary review of the data indicates that there are a number of discrete magnetic anomalies in the east of the project area, coincident with stratigraphy which hosts the volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits of Jaguar and Bentley. No previous exploration has been conducted over this area at the Teutonic Project and the company believes the eastern portion of the tenement is prospective for VMS mineralisation.

The Company has commenced reinterpretation of this data to identify potential drill targets, possibly associated with VMS style base metals deposits similar to the along strike Jaguar and Bentley deposits. The Company will continue to interpret this data and evaluate potential targets in the coming months.

Lake Christopher Project (ELA69/2935 - 100% MNE)

The Lake Christopher Project is located 130 kilometres west of the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It is made up of a single Exploration Licence application covering an area of 228 square kilometres and is prospective for gold, diamonds and uranium. A significant radiometric anomaly occurs in the western part of the Project area and the Company believes that the strength and extent of the anomaly warrants further investigation to determine the source.

During the quarter the Company made contact with the Ngaanyatjarra Council (NC) whom act for the Ngaanyatjarra Land Council and the Yarnangu Ngaanyatjarra Parna (Aboriginal Corporation) to discuss the negotiation of a mineral exploration land access agreement and a Mining Access Permit. Mining Group has engaged consultants to assist with the process and will be enter into discussions with the NC in the near future.

Project Evaluation

During the quarter, and consistently with the objectives set out in its Prospectus dated 6 May 2011, the Company sought to identify and evaluate potential new mineral projects in Australia and overseas, suitable for acquisition and development by the Company. As at the date of this report, a number of opportunities in Australia and overseas had been identified and evaluated. The Company will continue to carefully assess projects with significant potential for development and will update the market as and when required.
