June 2006 Quarterly Report
Highlights
Greenvale Project (North Queensland)
At Maitland, shallow drilling has intersected significant copper mineralisation and metallurgical test work and resource optimisation studies are in progress to determine the potential for an economic open pittable resource. Better intersections include:
23 metres $@$ 2.41% copper from surface including 3 metres [email protected]\%$ copper from 7 metres 18 metres @ 4.75% copper from 2 metres including 3 metres $@$ 9.26% copper from 13 metres 29 metres $@$ 2.10% copper from surface including 3 metres @ 3.65% copper from 3 metres.
- The drilling at Maitland also intersected a previously unidentified hanging wall zone (i.e. 31 metres @ 1.44% copper from 26 metres) which has the potential to significantly increase the resource.
- Drilling at the Oasis uranium prospect has confirmed the depth extension of the mineralised host unit - assay results are pending.
- Soil sampling over the T3 area has recorded extensive multi-element anomalism indicative of high-grade Balcooma style base metal mineralisation. Initial drill testing is scheduled for the next quarter.
New Project
A highly prospective, new land holding of approximately 1,700 square kilometres has been applied for in northwest Western Australia approximately 100 kilometres north of the giant Telfer gold deposit. The Citadel Project is prospective for gold, copper and uranium and previous exploration has intersected significant mineralisation (e.g. 15 metres $@$ 14.1 a/t gold and 8 metres $@$ 3.5 a/t gold and 4.4% copper) at the Magnum prospect.
Plans for the September 2006 Quarter
- Complete preliminary economic assessment of shallow copper mineralisation at Maitland and define limits of new hanging wall zone. Continue step out diamond core drilling from deeper, high-grade primary intersections (e.g. 12 metres @ 4.27% copper) recorded last vear.
- Assess results of latest drilling from Oasis and plan next phase of work.
- Plan initial drill testing of soil anomalies at T3 and complete soil sampling over the Mt $\bullet$ Remarkable gold prospect.
- Complete compilation of previous exploration data for the Citadel and Rum Jungle Projects.
Project Activities Report
Greenvale Project (North Queensland) -Significant shallow copper mineralisation confirmed at Maitland.
Extensive fieldwork was carried out on the Greenvale Project (Figure 1) during the quarter. Drill programs were completed at the Maitland and Oasis prospects and soil sampling surveys completed across the Metallica Joint Venture and T3 areas. continue Results $to$ enhance the I exploration potential of the Project.
Maitland Copper-Molybdenum Prospect
A reverse circulation percussion drilling program comprising 20 holes for a total 1.253 metres was drilled at Maitland. Better intersections are listed in the highlights sections and all significant intersections are summarized in Table 1 at the end of this report.
Assay results confirm the potential for shallow open pittable copper mineralisation. Metallurgical test work and independent resource optimisation studies are in progress and results from this work will be used to assess the economic potential of the shallow mineralisation at Maitland.
A new zone of primary mineralisation was intersected under the northern shoot at Maitland Drill hole MTRC14 intersected 31 metres @ 1.4% copper from 26 metres depth (Figure 2) in the hanging wall above the main target zone defined by previous drilling. This new hanging wall zone is open at depth and along strike and could significantly enhance the. resource potential at Maitland. Follow up drilling is planned for the September quarter.
Diamond core drilling will also be completed during the September quarter to follow up deeper primary intersections including 12 metres @ 4.27% copper from 160 metres and 41 metres @ 1.85% copper from 147 metres that were recorded in late 2005.

Figure 2: Maitland Prospect - Longitudinal Section
Oasis Uranium Prospect
Two diamond drill holes (LYD3 and LYD4) were completed at Oasis in June 2006 for a total of 301.6 metres. The drilling was designed to test the continuity and depth potential of the mineralisation recorded by previous historic an Glengarry drilling. Both holes intersected significant widths of the prospective biotite schist unit that hosts the uranium mineralisation in the other holes. Assay results are pending.
Metallica Joint Venture (EPM14987)
The Metallica Joint Venture (MJV) covers the southern extension of the mineralised Oasis shear (Figure 3). Glengarry has the right to earn 80% of the uranium rights on the tenement (EPM14987) which is currently held by Metallica Minerals Limited.
50 A detailed 200 by metre soil geochemical program comprising 620 completed samples was over the interpreted position of the Oasis shear on the Metallica JV. Moderately anomalous values up to 49 ppm uranium were recorded; however, no priority targets that warrant immediate drilling were defined. The source of the strong radiometric anomaly defined by regional airborne geophysics appears to be "hot" granites
that contain high background levels of uranium and other radioactive elements.
The northern part of the Oasis shear on the Metallica JV is largely obscured by transported alluvium and soil sampling is not an effective exploration technique. Reconnaissance aircore drilling is planned across the area to test for possible economic uranium mineralisation.

Figure 3: Plan of Oasis and Metallica JV Areas
Mt Remarkable Gold Prospect
Soil sampling planned for the Mt Remarkable gold prospect (Figure 1) has
been delaved due to wet ground conditions. The soil sampling is designed to locate the source of strongly anomalous gold recorded by stream sampling completed in the 1980's and 1990's. The anomalous gold is coincident with a strong magnetic anomaly which is obscured by a 1 - 5 metre laver of transported black soils. The geological setting is very similar to the 3.5 million ounce Mt Levshon gold deposit located near Charters Towers approximately 200 kilometres to the southeast and stream sampling bv previous explorers has recorded strongly anomalous gold values.
Despite previous explorers recording strongly anomalous gold values, there has been no systematic follow up or any drilling. Glengarry plans to complete a detailed soil sampling program over the Mt Remarkable during the coming quarter.
T3 Silver-Lead-Zinc Prospect
The T3 silver-lead-zinc prospect is located approximately 8 kilometres north of Mt Remarkable and occurs within the southern extension of the Balcooma geological sequence which hosts Kagara Zinc's high grade zinc and copper deposits 60 to 70 kilometres to the northeast. Previous exploration has recorded up to 11% lead, 8% zinc and 52 g/t silver in rock samples at T3; however, no drilling has ever been carried out.
A 200 by 50 metre soil sampling program comprising 1,820 samples was completed across the T3 area during the quarter. Preliminary assays have recorded strongly anomalous multi-element geochemistry including up to 3.4 g/t silver, 776 ppb gold, 760 ppm copper, 81 ppm molybdenum, 924 ppm lead and 1,255 ppm zinc. The values are consistent with Balcooma style mineralisation and drill testing will be planned once all results are received and ground follow up completed.
Citadel Project (Northwest Western Australia) - Exciting new strategic land holding.
Glengarry Resources Limited has applied for a 1,700 square kilometre area located 100 kilometres north of the Telfer gold mine in northwest Western Australia (Figure 4). The region contains several world class metal deposits including Telfer (26 M oz gold, 1 Mt copper), Nifty (1 Mt copper) and Kintyre (24 Kt tonnes $U_3O_8$ ). Exploration by other companies confirms that Glengarry's new tenements are highly prospective for these commodities.
Drilling by previous explorers at the Magnum prospect located within the Citadel Project has recorded a number of significant intersections including:
- $\geq$ 8 metres @ 3.5 g/t gold and 4.4% copper from 279 metres
- $>$ 4 metres @ 11.7 g/t gold from 261 metres
- $\geq$ 15 metres @ 14.1 g/t gold from 464 metres
- $\geq$ 5 metres @ 1.23 a/t gold and 2.43% copper from 211 metres
The mineralisation at Magnum comprises multiple gold and copper zones and remains open along strike and at depth. Further drilling is required to fully assess the potential of the prospect.
Previous work by other companies has included regional and detailed geophysical surveys, geochemical surveys and drilling which provide a comprehensive database and will allow rapid delineation of targets for future exploration. Glengarry has also complete acquired the exploration database for the Citadel Project from Gindalbie Metals Limited who held the area prior to Glengarry applying for the tenements.
Geologically, the Citadel Project is in the northern part of the Proterozoic Paterson Province which includes the prospective Yeneena Supergroup that hosts the world class metal deposits listed above. In the Project area, the prospective lithologies are obscured by up to 100 metres of cover sediments; however, geophysical surveys successfully defined have targets (including the Magnum prospect) beneath the younger cover. Numerous targets defined by earlier geophysical surveys have not yet been tested by drilling.
Sampling of granitic units in the area indicates that they are enriched in uranium and that they would provide a good source for the development of economic uranium
mineralisation in palaeochannels and at unconformities between deological sequences of different ages. No previous uranium been exploration for has conducted within the Citadel Project.
Glengarry is completing a systematic review of the previous data to determine
future exploration strategies for the Project. The new tenement applications are expected to be granted near the end of 2006 and fieldwork is scheduled to commence in April 2007.

Cannington Project (Northwest) Queensland) Geophysical data pending.
The wholly owned Cannington Project tenements are located immediately north and south of BHP Billiton's 40 - 50 million tonne Cannington silver-lead-zinc mine (Figure 5).
A drill program comprising 330 metres in 3 reverse circulation percussion drill holes was completed to test 3 gravity anomalies defined last year. All holes intersected gabbroic intrusions which appear to form paleotopographic highs beneath the transported cover. The gabbroic bodies explain the source of the gravity anomalies and no follow up is planned.
An IP survey was completed during the quarter over the Crackpot area where strongly anomalous lead (up to 0.24%) and molybdenum (up to 0.29%) have been recorded in gossanous float. The IP survey is an electrical technique designed to detect the primary sulphides which are the source of the gossanous material at Crackpot.
The work on Glengarry's tenure is part of a larger survey completed by BHP Billiton on adiacent tenements. The data from the IP survey is currently being processed and will be interpreted during the September quarter to determine whether there are any targets that warrant drilling.

Charters Towers Project (North Queensland) - Divested to pending IPO
Glengarry has agreed to sell the Charters Towers Project to Mantle Minina Corporation Limited who plans to list on the ASX later in 2006. Mantle has a number of advanced gold projects and Glengarry will be allocated 3,000,000 shares in Mantle following listing.
Snake Creek Proiect (Northwest) 2006 fieldwork Queensland) commenced.
The Snake Creek Project, located in northwest Queensland approximately 125 kilometres east southeast of Mt Isa, is considered prospective for copper-gold mineralisation.
The Project is subject to a joint venture agreement with Xstrata Copper which has the right to earn up to a 75% interest by spending \$3 million on exploration.
Soil sampling over the central part of the Project commenced during the quarter; however, wet weather has again delayed The program which will progress. comprise approximately 670 samples should be completed during the September quarter.
Mount Guide Project (Northwest Queensland) - Data review in progress.
The Mt Guide Project, located in northwest Queensland approximately 35 kilometres south of Mt Isa, is considered prospective for base metal and gold mineralisation. The Project covers 13 kilometres of the southern strike extension of the Mount Isa Paroo Fault, which is known to be the structural control on a number of world class deposits to the north including the Mount Isa and Hilton base metal mines.
The Project is subject to a joint venture agreement with Summit Resources Limited. Summit has the right to earn up to 80% interest by spending \$500,000 on exploration.
Assay results were received for a number of holes drilled by Summit during the March 2006 quarter. No significant values were recorded
Summit has advised that they have spent the amount required to earn 80% equity in the Project. Glengarry will review the results ່ of Summit's exploration $to$ determine whether to contribute to the next phase of exploration.
Rum Jungle Project (Northern Territory - Key land holding in multi-commodity area.
Glengarry has recently applied for three contiguous exploration licences covering an area of approximately 140 square kilometres in the Rum Jungle area located 65km south of Darwin in the Northern Territory. The Project is proximal to the historical Rum Jungle uranium mine $(3,530$ tonnes $U_3O_8$ ) and the Woodcutters lead-zinc mine (~6 Mt @ 12% zinc and 6% lead).
The tenement package is considered prospective for uranium and aold mineralisation. A number of radiometric anomalies have been defined by regional geophysical surveys and previous explorers have intersected significant gold mineralisation (e.g. up to 3 metres @ 47.8) g/t) at several areas within Glengarry's tenure.
Compilation of previous exploration data is in progress. Native Title has been extinguished over the area and all applications should be granted promptly with initial field reconnaissance scheduled for the September quarter.
