QUARTERLY REPORT FOR JUNE 2006

HIGHLIGHTS:

    1. Quartz Circle Base Metal Project, Nullagine, WA
  • Diamond drilling of the Igloo copper oxide deposit now completed, with $\bullet$ chalcocite, native copper, and malachite as the main minerals
  • A 4m section in drill hole IG 05 at Igloo contained abundant chalcopyrite (primary $\bullet$ copper sulphide), the significance of which is yet to be determined
  • Assay of 1m RC samples at Emperor confirmed strong intersection in GM 21 and gave several enhanced Zn and Pb values
  • A scoping study is continuing to evaluate mining of the Igloo copper oxide deposit
  • A VTEM survey of the entire tenement area is expected to be flown in mid August

2. Wertago Base Metals Project, NSW

• Airborne VTEM survey has been completed, and interpretation of the data is expected soon

QUARTZ CIRCLE PROJECT, NULLAGINE, WA

Copper

The Company decided in May to evaluate the potential of the Igloo copper oxide deposit discovered at Quartz Circle by a previous explorer in 1994. The mineralization was reported to consist mainly of chalcocite, malachite, and native copper, although some chalcopyrite (primary copper sulphide) was also encountered.

Ten vertical diamond drill holes to about 50m depth were completed by Graynic in July, and as expected the main minerals intersected were chalcocite, malachite and native copper. The assays for this drilling program should be available in about 4 weeks. Of particular interest is a 4m section from about 40m in drill hole IG 05 consists of a highly-mineralised quartz-chalcopyrite breccia. The significance of this rich intersection of primary copper ore has yet to be determined.

This discrete pod occurs at a depth of between 25m and 50m from surface. A scoping study to evaluate mining of this deposit is now underway.

A helicopter-borne VTEM survey is due to be flown by Geotech in mid August. This may identify new target zones for copper, which is a highly conductive mineral.

Zinc

The original assays reported from Graynic's RC program at Emperor related to 4m composite samples. Follow-up assaying of the 1m intervals has now been completed and in some cases has aiven enhanced results for Zn and Pb. The most mineralized hole GM 21 (originally 52m @ 4.3%) Zn using the composites) has returned two intersections 16m $\omega$ 3.51% Zn and 27m $\omega$ 4.98% Zn. separated by 6m of unmineralised material.

Assays from 1m samples at the Emperor Prospect, Quartz Circle

A diamond drill hole to 100m depth has now been completed adjacent and parallel to GM 21, and although the core has not yet been completely logged there is abundant visible sphalerite, some of which seems to be a breccia infill. This core will be logged and assayed in the coming weeks.

SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY AND STRUCTURES

WERTAGO PROJECT, NSW

The Wertago proiect encompasses an area of historical copper mining as well as the Silverfields silver and lead workings. Previous limited drilling by CRA has intersected some good grades including $2m \omega$ 4.6% Cu below old copper workings but there is potential for a large deposit such as a Cu-Au porphyry or a Century-style zinc deposit.

The regional-scale Koonenberry Fault immediately to the east of the known mineralization could have been the conduit for substantial fluid flow and the project area is believed to have the ideal geological setting for a large deposit. The Grasmere copper deposit about 40km to the southwest of Wertago also lies immediately east of the Koonenberry Fault. Recent drilling at Grasmere by Black Range Minerals targeting EM conductors from a recent survey has returned some exciting copper intersections and has dramatically improved that project's prospectivity.

Our airborne VTEM survey over the historic mines and part of the Koonenberry Fault has just been completed and the interpretation of the data is now underway.

JUTSON ROCKS, WA

The Company has decided to withdraw from this joint venture project with Cazaly Resources Ltd.
