DECEMBER 2005 Quarterly Report
Highlights
A four hole drilling program at the Maitland prospect to follow up significant coppermolybdenum mineralisation reported in the previous quarter, has intersected high grade copper mineralisation in all holes confirming the potential of the prospect to host an economic mineral deposit. Better intersections include
Conner
- 12 metres $@$ 4.27% copper from 160 metres (New result)
- 7 metres @ 3.44% copper from 137 metres (New result)
- $\bullet$ 41 metres @ 1.85% copper from 147 metres (Sept. Qtr) Molvbdenum
- 5 metres @ 0.31% molybdenum from 153 metres (New result)
- 6 metres @ 0.16% molybdenum from 132 metres (New result)
- 8 metres @ 0.43% molybdenum from 143 metres (Sept. Qtr)
Continuous mineralisation has now been intersected in five holes drilled at Maitland in 2005 with the zone open at depth.
- The Maitland prospect is located within Glengarry's wholly-opwned Greenvale Project approximately 30 kilometres southwest of Kagara Zinc's Balcooma Project where recent drilling has also intersected wide zones of high grade copper mineralisation.
- Reconnaissance sampling has successfully delineated the southern extension of the shear zone that hosts the Oasis uranium mineralisation at Greenvale. Drilling during the September quarter at Oasis intersected 10 metres $\hat{\omega}$ 0.12% U3Os and 7 metres $\hat{\omega}$ $0.17\%$ U3O8.
- Agreement has been reached with Metallica Minerals Limited to earn 80% of the uranium rights in the Sandy Creek tenement (EPM14987) which is located adjacent to Glengarry's wholly-owned Oasis prospect. Several strong radiometric anomalies have been defined for immediate assessment.
- The tenement applications covering the southern part of the Greenvale Project that include the priority Mt Remarkable gold prospect and other gold, base metal and uranium prospects defined by exploration in the 1980's and 1990's have been granted and fieldwork will commence as soon as ground conditions permit.
Plans for the March 2006 Quarter
- Undertake detailed review of Maitland drill results and plan further work.
- Drill test dip and strike extensions of the Oasis uranium zone. $\bullet$
- Assess uranium potential of Sandy Creek Joint Venture.
- Commence field assessment of targets in southern part of Greenvale Project including the priority Mt Remarkable gold prospect.


Greenvale Project (North Queensland) -Follow up drilling confrms Maitland copper-molybdenum potential.
The 2,800 square kilometre Greenvale Project is strategically located in a well endowed mineral province which includes the 4.5 million ounce Kidston gold deposit. Kagara Zinc's high grade Balcooma zinc and copper deposits and Copper Strike's Einasleigh Copper project (Figure 1). Exploration by Glengarry in 2005 has highlighted the potential of the Project to economic concentrations contain of several metals including copper, uranium, gold and molybdenum.
Maitland Copper-Molvbdenum Prospect
A four hole (MTD005 $\equiv$ MTD007. MTRC001) diamond core/reverse circulation percussion drill program was completed at the Maitland prospect during the quarter for an aggregate 703.6 metres. The drilling program was designed to test strike and extent and depth continuity of hiah copper-molvbdenum arade
mineralisation intersected bv Hole1 MTD002 during the previous quarter. MTD002 intersected 41 metres @1.85% copper from 147 metres including 5 metres @ 3.63% copper from 149 metres and 4 metres @ 4.16% copper from 182 MTD002 also intersected 8 metres. metres @ 0.43% molvbdenum from 143 metres
Drill holes MTD005 and MTRC001 were targeted at the up dip extension of the mineralisation in MTD002 while MTD006 and MTD007 tested approximately 50 metres to the south (Figure 2). All four holes intersected significant disseminated to semi-massive mineralisation.
Assay results for all holes drilled at Maitland in 2005 with the exception of MTD006 are summarised in Table 1. Hole MTD006 results are pending but visible copper mineralisation has been logged. True widths are approximately 70% of down hole intersections.

High grade molybdenum mineralisation has also been intersected immediately above the main copper intersections in drill holes MTD002 (8 metres @ 0.43% molybdenum from 143 metres), MTD005 (6 metres @ 0.16% molybdenum from 132 metres) and MTD007 (5 metres @ 0.31% molybdenum from 153 metres). The price of molybdenum oxide is approximately US\$25 per pound and the molybdenum mineralisation intersected at Maitland would significantly enhance the economic potential of the prospect. The average
grade of 0.43% molybdenum in MTD002 is equivalent to 9.5 pounds molybdenum oxide per tonne or US\$237 per tonne contained value. Molvbdenum is. important in steel making and the increase in price reflects the increasing demand for the metal from countries such as China.
The Maitland mineralisation is structurally controlled and occurs as disseminated chalcopyrite and molybdenite within a sílica - epidote - magnetite altered calcsilicate gneiss. Previous deep drilling in
the 1960's failed to intersect significant results as it did not take into account the structural controls on mineralisation Mineralisation is hosted by two. 100 to 150 metre long, up to 30 metre thick, south plunging shoots that are open at depth. Surface sampling and a review of the 1960's drilling data indicates that the northern shoot, that has yet be tested by modern drilling, is probably higher grade than the southern shoot.
The latest drilling has confirmed the potential of the Maitland prospect to host an economic deposit and further drilling will be planned once a review of the latest results is completed.
Oasis Uranium Prospect
Follow up drilling initially proposed for the quarter at the Oasis uranium prospect was postponed due to the onset of the northern Australian wet season which prevented access to the drill sites. A diamond core drill program completed in the September quarter confirmed significant uranium mineralisation (up to 10 metres @ 0.12% $U_3O_8$ ) at the prospect which was originally discovered in the 1970's and further drilling will be completed when ground conditions permit.
The uranium mineralisation at Oasis is hosted by quartz-veined biotite schist which defines a strongly foliated, northsouth trending shear zone within granitic The Oasis shear zone is rocks. interpreted to splay off a major north northeast trending structure known as the Lynd Mylonite Zone (Figure 1).
Reconnaissance mapping and the deochemistry durina December quarter delineated the southern extension of the mineralised structure which will be tested by drilling in 2006. Approximately 1 kilometre of the prospective structure has been defined within Glengarry's wholly owned tenure.
Sandy Creek Joint Venture (EPM14987)
Agreement was reached with Metallica Minerals during the December quarter for Glengarry to earn 80% of the uranium rights on Metallica's EPM 14987 which is located adjacent to the Oasis prospect.
Airborne deophysical surveys have defined a number of strong radiometric anomalies on the Sandy Creek JV ground and previous exploration in the 1970's has recorded high uranium values in stream sampling. Approximately 2.5 kilometres of Oasis shear structure is the also interpreted to occur within the Sandy Creek .IV
Previous exploration data has been compiled and detailed mapping and soil sampling is planned to commence as soon as the area becomes accessible
Regional Exploration
Most of the known mineralisation the Greenvale region, including the Kidston gold and Balcooma base metal deposits. are located adiacent to major north northeast to northeast trending geological structures. The Maitland and Oasis prospects are located adjacent to a major. geological structure known as the Lynd Mylonite Zone (LMZ). The Greenvale approximately Project covers 70 kilometres of the LMZ (Figure 1) and a number of other similar structures and the areas adiacent to these will be the focus of regional exploration.
The tenements comprising the southern part of the Greenvale Project (Figure1) have recently been granted. This area contains a number of prospective structures including southern the extension of the LMZ and exploration in the 1980's and 1990's largely comprising stream sampling and prospecting defined a number of gold, base metal and uranium targets. Most of these were not assessed by drilling and further work using modern exploration techniques is planned.
The highest priority targets in the southern part the Greenvale Project are the Mt Remarkable gold prospect and the T3 silver-lead-zinc prospect (Figure1).
The Mt Remarkable gold prospect is located on the Burdekin River Fault coincident with a strong magnetic anomaly largely obscured by a 1 - 5 metre layer of transported black soils. Stronalv anomalous gold has been recorded by stream sampling and the geological setting is very similar to the 3.5 million ounce Mt
Levshon aold deposit located near Charters Towers approximately 200 kilometres to the southeast
The T3 silver-lead-zinc prospect occurs within the southern extension of the Balcooma 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 $\alpha$ /t silver in rock samples; however, there has been no drilling completed.
Follow up exploration at Mt Remarkable and T3 will commence once the areas become accessible following the northern wet season.
Cannington Project (Northwest Queensland) - Significant gravity targets to be drilled.
The Cannington Project tenements are located north and south of BHP Billiton's 40 - 50 million tonne Cannington silverlead-zinc mine (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Cannington Project Area
No fieldwork was completed during the December quarter; however, drill testing of the Dolly Pot and Crackpot prospects is proposed for 2006.
At Dolly Pot. a 200 by 50 metre gravity survey carried out in August defined two significant gravity anomalies interpreted to be possible dense sulphide bodies beneath transported cover.
Glendarry previously discovered gossanous float at Crackpot containing strongly anomalous lead (up to 0.24%) and molybdenum (up to 0.29%) An IP survey scheduled for November 2005 to delineate the source of the gossanous material was postponed and is now expected to be completed once access becomes possible after the wet season.
Charters Towers Project (North Queensland) Interested parties reviewing data
No exploration work was completed at Charters Towers during the quarter. Glengarry is seeking to divest or farm out this Project and several parties are currently reviewing the technical data.
Project Snake Creek (Northwest) Queensland) - Soil sampling defines anomaly
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.
Fieldwork comprising geological mapping rock chip sampling and soil sampling was carried out during the quarter. Anomalous copper and gold has been defined by soil sampling and follow up is planned for the first quarter of 2006.
Mount Guide Project (Northwest Queensland) - Drill testing of targets commenced
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 defined four targets for drill testing. One hole has been drilled in the Red Bull target with further drilling scheduled for early 2006 when ground conditions permit. No significant assays have been reported from the first hole.
