QUARTZ CIRCLE PROJECT, NULLAGINE, WA
Igloo Copper Prospect
1. Oxide resource
During the Quarter, assay results were received for 10 vertical diamond drill holes each drilled to about 51m depth in and around the Igloo copper oxide deposit at the Quartz Circle project near Nullagine. Six of the holes intersected the deposit as shown in the following table:
| Hole ID | Depth | Interval | Cu % | Au g/t | Ag g/t |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IG 3 | 28-30m | 2m | 1.34 | ||
| $31 - 32m$ | 1 m | 1.55 | |||

| IG 10 | 27-28m | 1m | 1.25 | ||
| $32 - 35m$ | 3m | 1.2 |
Most of the above results pertain to chalcocite, native copper and malachite, and core samples will be submitted to a laboratory for preliminary metallurgical testing.
2. Primary mineralisation
The interval 42-47m in hole IG 5 contains spectacular chalcopyrite mineralisation, with a maximum value of 13.5% over 1m from 45-46m. This 5m interval of primary copper sulphide is accompanied by very high gold and silver values. The first rich Cu-Aq-Au intersection was encountered at Igloo in 1992:
QCRC 17 27-30m 3m @ 47% Cu (in chalcopyrite), 1.5 g/t Au and 298 g/t Ag
An additional 4 RC holes were recently completed at Igloo to follow up on these rich chalcopyrite values. Two of these holes were drilled at a 60 degree angle directly towards IG 5 in an attempt to determine the geometry of the mineralization prior to a ground EM survey.
Drill hole IG 12, drilled at 60 degrees from the northwest, encountered a single zone of 10m @ 8.5% Cu, 140 g/t Ag and 2.77 g/t Au from 43m downhole. The other hole, IG 14 drilled at 60 degrees from the northeast, encountered two zones, 4m @ 7.18% Cu, 40 g/t Ag, 0.52 g/t Au from 42-46m downhole, and 3m @ 13.66% Cu, 146 g/t Ag, and 5.52 g/t Au from 50-53m downhole. These assays are based on 1m riffle split samples.

Significant results from recent RC drilling at Igloo
The preliminary interpretation is that there are two rich zones of Cu-Ag-Au mineralization each about 3 or 4m thick and separated by about 5m of unmineralised material. The strike of these zones is believed to be about northwesterly and possibly they dip steeply to the northeast.
3. New zone of potential
These chalcopyrite-Au-Ag intervals at Igloo strongly resemble historic results from a prospect known as Miller's Vein about 250m to the south of the Igloo deposit:

| QCRC 46 | $42 - 44m$ | 2m | 0.46 |
A VTEM survey has been completed over the tenement area and the final data is now being processed. A significant conductor over the Igloo copper deposit may correspond to the rich chalcopyrite-Au-Ag mineralization at that location, and the area between Igloo and Millers Vein will shortly be tested with ground EM and downhole EM to more accurately define a drilling target.

Statistics for recent drill holes at Igloo
Emperor Zinc-Lead Prospect
An RC drilling program consisting of 8 holes GM 33 to GM 40 mostly to about 200m depth was completed during the quarter.
Drill hole GM 34 contained 44m @ 2.1% Zn from 32m downhole, including 12m @ 3.7% Zn from 52m, and 4m @ 3.3% Zn and 1.13 g/t Au from 68m.
Drill hole GM 36 returned 4m @ 6.67% Zn, 39 g/t Ag and 0.47 g/t Au from 176m downhole, and 1m @ 1.2% Zn from 184-185m. As GM 36 terminated in mineralization it should be deepened.
The mineralization in GM 36 lies approximately 100m east of the mineralization in GM 34 (44m $@$ 2.1% Zn including 12m @ 3.7% Zn), and about 150 east south east of the mineralization in GM 21 (cumulative 43 $m$ @ 4.5% Zn) although continuity of mineralization has not yet been demonstrated. Assays in GM 34 and 36 are based on 4m composite samples.

Significant results from recent RC drilling at Emperor
GM 21 and GM 34 were drilled from the same collar position, with GM 21 drilled at 60 degrees to the north and GM 34 drilled at 60 degrees to the southeast.
Bedding laminations in diamond drill hole GMD 21, a twin hole to GM 21, suggest that the mineralized interval in GM 21 is near true thickness, but there is no indication as to the true thickness of the mineralized intersections in GM 34 or GM 36.
A broad metal zonation is becoming evident at Emperor, with zinc mineralization occurring on its own in the northern part of the mineralized corridor, and lead occurring with zinc towards the south. Pyrite is also more abundant to the south. Drill holes GM 33 to GM 40 are part of ongoing drill-testing of a very large >3km long Pb-Zn anomaly.

If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.
- 3 Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.
- $\overline{4}$ The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.
