Quarterly Activities Report
For the Quarter Ended 31 March 2011
Mangalisa Project
During the quarter, the Company announced that it is no longer proceeding with the acquisition of an interest in the Mangalisa project. The letter agreement with Goldcorp Limited (“Goldcorp”), which inter alia was subject to executed formal contracts, was to acquire an initial 33% interest, with an option to increase to 50%, in the Mangalisa project in the Free State Goldfields in the Republic of South Africa.
The Company had invested over $3.6 million in project funding and exploration and the Board has determined that the results to date do not warrant further capital being invested. As such, the decision was taken to no longer proceed with the project. The Company will retain no residual interest in the project.
Nacimiento Copper Uranium Project
The Company holds a number of lode mining claims which lie within a mineral prospective region located in north-central New Mexico. The area lies along the east margin of the San Juan basin and into the adjacent Sierra Nacimiento mountain range within Rio Arriba and Sandoval Counties (“ the Nacimiento Region ”).
The region of interest is a north-south-trending area, 80 km long and 20 km wide, or in excess of 1,500 square kilometres.
Acclaim holds three blocks of lode mining claims, namely:
Coyote Lode Mining Claims, Sandoval County, New Mexico
The property comprises 53 lode mining claims covering 1,100 acres, in two blocks. The claims were staked to cover a cluster of copper prospects and a cluster of uranium occurrences.
Aranda Lode Mining Claims, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico
The property comprises 50 lode mining claims covering 1,000 acres. The claims were staked to cover a cluster of copper and uranium occurrences.

Acclaim Exploration N.L ABN 99 009 076 233
Quarterly Activities Report QE 31 March 2011
Exploration field season is about to commence and Acclaim’s proposed program includes the following:
STAGE ONE:
- A) Peg the open area between the Los Pinos Lode Claim block and the San Miguel Mine (53 claims).
B) Peg the proposed CU Claim Block (68 claims) contiguous to and south of the Nacimiento Mine and mill site.
STAGE TWO:
-
A) Fly a low level helicopter airborne mag/radiometric survey over the Nacimiento trend looking for look alikes similar to Olympic Dam/ABRA. The results will identify non-outcropping anomalies and indicate additional targets to acquire by pegging, thereby eliminating competition.
-
B) Conduct a detailed ground gravity survey based on mag/radiometric targets. C) Conduct a geological literature/well log search after completing interpretation of the regional airborne mag/radiometrics survey on the areas of interest.
-
D) Prepare geological reports and assist in permit applications.
STAGE THREE:
-
A) Design, permit, and conduct drilling programs on targets based on mag/radiometric/gravity/literature search. Prepare reserve reports, etc.
-
B) The outlined 3 stage program could be started in a matter of weeks.
