1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY

Coppermoly Ltd is an Australian based company, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) that is focussed on exploring for copper-gold-molybdenum and gold deposits on the Island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea. It holds title to three Exploration Licences EL 1077 (Simuku), EL 1043 (Mt. Nakru) and EL 1445 (Talelumas) covering 170 km[2] .

Projects are located in an excellent geological environment and close to essential infrastructure including roads, an airfield and an operating deep water port at the provincial capital of Kimbe (refer to Figure 1).

Major exploration programs have been successfully completed at Simuku where 6,021 metres of drilling in 31 diamond drillholes and 28 kilometres of bulldozer surface trenching have defined a 3,500 metre by 650 metre copper envelope of mineralisation. At Mt.Nakru, 2,380 metres of drilling in nineteen diamond drillholes and nine kilometres of bulldozer surface trenching have defined copper-gold mineralisation associated with geophysical anomalies which are yet to be fully tested by drilling.

Recently completed soil sampling, geological mapping and geophysical results have been interpreted to suggest that a near surface high grade copper lens, with intersections of 6.7 metres grading 3.8% copper and 8 metres grading 3.18% copper at 25 metres depth, are related to a broader breccia or volcanogenic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) system.

At Simuku, a maiden Inferred Resource has been estimated at 200 million tonnes of 0.47% copper equivalent* within one-third of the known area of surface mineralisation. Drilling of 4,194 metres was completed in fifteen holes during 2008. Near surface copper enrichment in a ‘Supergene’ blanket was intersected in at least eleven drillholes. Additional drilling is required to define a separate higher grade near surface resource.

Page 1 of 14

Topography of all of the project areas is moderate, at between 300 metres and 800 metres above sea level, enabling relatively easy conditions for on-site development and logistics. Access to Simuku from the provincial capital of Kimbe takes one hour using a four wheel drive vehicle via a logging road. Access to Nakru takes approximately four hours driving along roads and logging tracks.

2.0 EXPLORATION AT SIMUKU (EL 1077)

Over 28 kilometers of bulldozer trenching and a total of 6,021 metres of drilling in 31 holes have defined porphyry style mineralisation in a 3,500 metre by 650 metre area of anomalous copper. Simuku is only a one hour drive from Kimbe and a two hour drive from a regional airport with daily flight access to Sydney via Port Moresby. Further drilling is warranted to estimate a resource associated with the near surface copper enrichment ‘supergene’ blanket, prior to a feasibility study.

An Inferred Mineral Resource was estimated containing 200 million tonnes grading 0.47% copper equivalent (using a 0.30% copper equivalent cut-off). This Resource covers less than one third of the area of known surface copper mineralisation (refer to Figures 2 and 3). The Resource remains open at depth with some significantly higher than average primary copper grades and it has excellent potential for expansion to the south-southwest. The Resource has been prepared in accordance with the Guidelines of the JORC Code (refer to Coppermoly Ltd COY:ASX Release dated 1[st] May, 2009).

The Simuku porphyry copper deposit contains 700,000 tonnes of copper, 12,000 tonnes of molybdenum, 12 tonnes of gold and 391 tonnes of silver (or 1.5 billion pounds of copper, 26 million pounds of molybdenum, 0.4 million ounces of gold and 13 million ounces of silver).

Page 2 of 14

The Inferred Mineral Resource results are presented as tonnes and grade (constrained within each domain), with sensitivities of volume and grade defined by three different copper equivalent cut-off values (refer to Table 1). A higher cut-off value of 0.5% copper equivalent shows the potential for a higher grade Inferred Mineral Resource of 80 million tonnes at 0.6% copper equivalent* (0.44% copper, 76 ppm Molybdenum, 0.07 g/t gold and 2 g/t silver).

Higher grade primary copper is noted at the Nayam Prospect in drillhole SMD026, with 56 metres grading 0.77% copper (including 16 metres grading 1.24% copper) from 240 metres down hole depth (refer to Figure 2).

High grade zones of molybdenum have been demonstrated at the Horseshoe Prospect (SMD014) including 14 metres grading 0.41% molybdenum from surface and are yet to be fully evaluated by drilling.

A near surface ‘supergene’ blanket of secondary copper enrichment has been encountered in at least eleven drillholes at Nayam, Tobarum and Misile Prospects (refer to Table 2) where there is an Exploration Target of 10 to 20 million tonnes grading 0.7% to 0.8% copper. Trench exposures outside of this Exploration Target geology show indications of haematite which may represent leaching of copper above other areas of potential copper enrichment.

Both the Inferred Resource and supergene Exploration Target occur in only one third of the surface copper mineralisation determined from bulldozer trenching. There is scope for a significant increase in tonnage potential for both primary and secondary copper.

3.0 EXPLORATION AT MT. NAKRU (EL 1043 )

The Mt. Nakru tenement (EL 1043) encloses copper-(gold) and copper-(molybdenum) diatreme breccia or VHMS systems at Nakru-1 and Nakru-2. The Mt. Nakru property is owned 100% by Copper Quest (PNG) Ltd and is accessible by a four hour drive from the provincial capital of Kimbe.

Nakru-1 Prospect:

Over 2,100 metres of trenching was completed during 2008 making a total of over 9,000 metres completed to date in addition to over 1.967.6 metres drilled in 17 diamond drillholes. The four shallower holes (NAK013 to 016) were designed to test for the continuity of near surface gold mineralisation.

A gold bearing breccia and scree blanket over a 700 metre by 300 metre area has been defined by trenching and soil sampling including trench intersections of 9 metres at 1.08 g/t gold and drilling results of 5.8 metres grading 1.9 g/t gold (NAK001) at surface. This overlies copper grades of 17.1 metres grading 0.5% copper and 7.6 metres grading 1.1% copper in NAK001 (refer to Figure 4).

Induced Polarisation (I.P.) geophysical results show potential for a large body of sulphide related copper mineralisation ready for further drill testing to the northeast of drillhole NAK017 (refer to Figure 5). Drillhole NAK017 tested part of the I.P. anomaly and intersected semi-massive sulphides including 28.4 metres grading 1.1% copper plus 0.27 g/t gold below the ‘base of oxidation’ at 52 metres vertical depth in an interpreted upper ‘supergene’ enrichment zone (refer to Figure 4).

Other drillholes which partly tested the I.P. anomaly include NAK006 which intersected 40 metres grading 0.95% copper and NAK003 which intersected 86.15 metres grading 0.50 g/t gold and 0.46% copper including 14.4 metres grading 2.2 g/t gold and 0.40% copper at 80 metres vertical depth.

Nakru-2 Prospect:

The Nakru-2 polymetallic system occurs as a 700 metre diameter breccia or VHMS related system located one kilometre to the west of Nakru-1. The geophysical I.P. anomaly within the system indicates potential for significant tonnage of sulphide mineralisation below a 7 metre thick lens averaging 3% to 4% copper from 25 metres depth (refer to Figure 6).

Drillhole NAK02-01 intersected 27.7 metres grading 1.90% copper (with minor zinc, gold and silver) associated with the intersection of 19 metres grading 4.3% copper at surface in Trench B. A historical rock chip sample also graded 19.9% copper near this trench. Drillhole NAK02-02 intersected 73 metres grading 0.96% copper, including 26 metres grading 1.65% copper (refer to Figure 6). At 100 metres depth, NAK02-01 intersected 51.7 metres grading 1.21% copper within the geophysical anomaly which remains largely untested by drilling (refer to Figure 7).

The two drillholes encountered copper and zinc overlying a silica-chalcopyrite footwall stringer zone. Mapping by Cyprus-Amax in 1999 found that clay-silica-pyrite alteration extended for 1 to 1.5 kilometres north-east of Nakru-1. They also identified a sequence of rhyodacitic lithic breccia, rhyodacite flows and flow domes which are often associated with the hydrothermal systems which produce VHMS deposits.

It is proposed that the Nakru systems may have strong similarities to ancient mineralising sea-floor hydrothermal systems occurring in the same regional tectono-structural regime as the Pacmanus hydrothermal system in the Manus back arc basin in Papua New Guinea.

4.0 EXPLORATION AT TALELUMAS (EL 1445)

The Talelumas Exploration Licence EL1445 encompasses the northern periphery of the Simuku tenement and is within a one hour drive from the provincial capital of Kimbe. Access tracks built in 2008 for the Simuku camp pass through this tenement (refer to Figure 8). The Talelumas property is owned 100% by Copper Quest (PNG) Ltd.

The area was explored previously by CRA Exploration, BHP, Nord Resources, Esso, City Resources, Macmin NL and Placer (PNG) Exploration from 1965 to 1995. Drainage within the entire tenement was covered by regional stream sediment sampling. The three prospects: Nakru Creek, Talelumas Creek and Isme Creek, have been covered with historical ridge and spur soil sampling for gold and copper.

The stream geochemistry from Esso reveals the Talelumas Ck prospect to occur within a 7.8 km[2] gold stream sediment (-#80) anomaly. Adjoining this is a 0.5 km[2 ] copper anomaly.

Rock outcrop samples historically collected within the Talelumas Exploration Licence include:

  • Nakru Creek Prospect: 7.89% copper and 0.85 g/t gold;

  • Isme Creek Prospect: 0.86% copper and 0.77 g/t gold; and

  • Talelumas Creek Prospect: 3.56 g/t gold.

Coppermoly Ltd has taken a total of 40 rock chip and float samples from the three gold and copper prospects. A 600 metre by 600 metre soil sampling grid was also completed beneath volcanic ash cover at the Talelumas Creek Prospect to define the extent of anomalous gold in ridge and spur soil sampling results collected by Esso in 1985. These samples have been despatched to the preparation laboratory in Lae, PNG and results are expected in August 2009.

Mapping along creek exposures at the Nakru Creek Prospect show primary copper mineralisation (chalcopyrite-bornite) in altered feldspar porphyry. There is also mineralisation associated with veins and stockwork. Historical rock chip samples assayed 7.89% copper and 0.85 g/t gold, 3.66% copper and 0.80 g/t gold and 0.71 g/t gold. A historical bulldozer trench intersected 35 metres grading 0.22% copper, including 5 metres at 0.5% copper.

At the Talelumas Creek gold Prospect, geological mapping was completed along soil lines and creek exposures within the Coppermoly Ltd soil grid. Gold mineralisation appears structurally controlled in epithermal stockwork veins and breccia.

Historical rock samples at the Isme Creek Prospect include 0.86% copper, 0.77 g/t gold, 0.74 g/t gold and 0.58 g/t gold. Recent samples were collected from structurally controlled (1-5m) wide zones of epithermal quartz veins.

Notes:

  • *Copper Equivalent

Mineralisation at Simuku consists of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver. Copper equivalent* is calculated as follows:

Sumof metal values S M+N+O+P
**Metal equivalent in Copperppm ** Cu. Eq S / 1B x 1C
  • The copper equivalent* values for intersections are quoted in addition to individual metal values, as they provide the most meaningful comparisons between different drill holes and trenches. The copper equivalent value will vary with the metal prices.

  • All stated intersections are weighted assay averages ([Sum of each total interval x grade] / Total length of intersection) with a cut-off of 0.1 g/t gold or 0.2% copper.

  • Copper Equivalent (Cu.Eq) is the contained copper, molybdenum, gold and silver and that are converted to an equal amount of pure copper and summed (based on assays of mineralised rock and actual metal prices). It is used to allow interpretation of the possible theoretical ‘value’ of mineralised rock, without consideration of the ultimate extractability of any of the metals.

  • Island Arc related porphyry copper – molybdenum - gold – silver deposits such as Simuku typically recover those metals subject to prevailing metal prices and metallurgical characteristics.

  • The ASX requires a metallurgical recovery be specified for each metal, however, no testwork has ever been undertaken at Simuku and recoveries can only be assumed to be typical for Island Arc porphyry copper – molybdenum –gold –silver deposits.

  • It is the Company’s opinion that each of the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation has reasonable potential to be recovered if the project proceeds to mining.

  • An Exploration Target, or present potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral Resource.

  • Drilling samples were transported to the camp site, logged, photographed and sampled at 2 metre intervals from core split by saw. The split samples are then transported to the town of Kimbe where they are air freighted to Intertek in Lae (PNG) for sample preparation. Samples are dried to 106 degrees C and crushed to 2-3 mm. Samples greater than 2kg are rifle split down to 1.5kg and pulverised to 75 microns. The final 300g sized pulp samples are then sent to Intertek laboratories in Jakarta for geochemical analysis. Intertek analyse for gold using a 50g Fire Assay with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy finish. Other elements are assayed with ICPAES Finish. Copper values greater than 1000ppm are re-assayed using a multi acid digest (hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acid) to leach out the copper with an ICP finish. Molybdenum samples greater than 100ppm were check assayed using X-Ray diffraction. Intertek laboratories have an ISO 17025 accreditation.

  • Quality control and quality assurance checks on sampling and assaying quality are satisfactory.

  • The reported mineral resource estimate has been rounded to appropriate significant figures.

  • The section of this report relating to the Simuku Resource Estimate was prepared from Coppermoly information by Mr Jack Drzymulski of New Guinea Gold Corporation.
