Quarterly Report For March 2006

HIGHLIGHTS:

    1. Quartz Circle Base Metal Project, Nullagine, WA
  • RC drilling at the Emperor Zinc Prospect has intersected : 52m (a) 4.3% Zn, including 8m (a) 8.2% Zn, $4m$ (a) 5.8% Zn and 12m (a) 5.2% Zn.
  • This hole is situated about 200m north of the Emperor Pb-Zn prospect, where exceptional results have previously been obtained.
  • Several drill holes in the current program ended in highly anomalous Zn
  • A large alteration system defined by a recent airborne geophysical survey coincident with previous soil geochemical anomalies
  • All significant mineralized zones at Quartz Circle, including the Emperor Prospect, lie within this coincident anomaly
  • Together these features suggest that a very large mineralizing system exists at Quartz Circle

2. Yanco Glen Tungsten Project, NSW

  • An initial drilling program of 19 RC holes totaling 2100m has been completed. Assays are still being received
  • Best result so far is $2.1\%$ WO3 over one metre downhole
  • Mineralised zones so far commonly assay between 0.25% and $0.5\%$ WO3 and show good continuity over a significant strike length

3. Wertago Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag Project, NSW

$\bullet$ An airborne EM survey totaling 605 line kms covering an area 9km by 9km has been commissioned encompassing the main areas of historic mineralization.

1. Quartz Circle Base Metal Project, Nullagine, WA

NEW ZONE OF POTENTIAL

Lead and zinc mineralization have been known at the Emperor Prospect since Alcoa commenced exploration drilling there in 1974. There has been sporadic exploration since then by a succession of companies including Pancontinental and RGC, with a close focus on the known area of mineralisation. A 500m-long 'new zone of potential' extending northwards from the Emperor Prospect was identified by Graynic late last year on the basis of:

  • a classic rock assemblage for a volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VMS) deposit
  • strong rock alteration,
  • the presence of a tourmaline-exhalite unit characteristic of VMS deposit
  • a small gossan assaying 2.9% Zn $\bullet$

This new zone has now been tested with 11 RC drill holes (a $12th$ hole, GM 27, tests another target), and assay results have just been received.

DRILLING RESULTS

Most of the holes in this program had anomalous zinc values $>0.2\%$ and $<1.0\%$ Zn but drill hole GMRC 21, drilled underneath the small gossan, gave an intersection of 36m grading 4.3% Zn, including 8m grading 8.2% Zn, 4m grading 5.8% Zn, and 12m grading 5.2%. These assay results are based on 4m composite samples and the individual 1m splits for these mineralized intervals will now be sent for assay. No significant Cu, Pb, Ag or Au is present in these intervals.

NSR no significant result EOH end of hole

The abundant low-grade zinc mineralization in most of these holes is comparable to the anomalous levels which occur immediately above and immediately below the best mineralization in GM 21. The strongly anomalous zones in GM 19 and 25 extend to the end of the hole and these holes should now be deepened to determine whether richer mineralization is present at depth.

INTERPRETATION

This exciting new zone of zinc mineralization is interpreted to be 'disseminated' in style. with the zinc sulphide (sphalerite) dispersed in grains throughout the rock. We believe that even richer 'massive' mineralization should be present in this immediate vicinity because the geological setting is consistent with a classic volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposit, and impressive pods of massive sulphide mineralisation have previously been intersected at the Emperor Prospect. Discovery of 52m of continuous zinc mineralization supports our view that the mineralizing system at Quartz Circle is large.

A recent radiometric survey delineated a K radiometric anomaly about 3km by 2km in size covers much of the Quartz Circle area. This K radiometric anomaly (which could indicate rock alteration associated with mineralisation) neatly overlies a large soil geochemical anomaly which also measures about 3km by 2km. The separate zones of Cu-Au versus Pb-Zn anomalism suggests a primary metal zonation at depth on a large scale. All significant mineralization discovered since 1974 lies within this radiometric/alteration envelope.

FUTURE WORK

The aeromagnetics and radiometrics survey flown for Graynic in December gave excellent results on the project scale but more detailed targeting is now required. Various geophysical techniques are under consideration to pinpoint targets at the Emperor Prospect as well as within the larger 3km by 2km alteration zone. Further drilling is being planned.

2. Yanco Glen Tungsten Project, NSW

A total of 19 RC drill holes totaling 2100m has now been completed and assays for the first 13 holes have now been received. The tungsten mineralization is believed to be stratigraphically controlled and in most of the drill holes there are several zones of tungsten enrichment representing slightly different stratigraphic horizons. Results so far suggest a tendency for one of these mineralised zones to be of a higher grade than the others.

Initial assays were done by fusion XRF, and the mineralized intervals were checked using ICP MS. Correlation between these methods has been excellent. Some checks have been made using pressed powder XRF, again with excellent correlation.

Best results to date are shown in the table below.

3. Wertago Cu-Pb-Zn Project, NSW

The Wertago project 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 $2m \ (\hat{\alpha})$ 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.

Graynic has decided to commission an airborne EM survey over a large portion of the Wertago EL to encompass virtually all of the known mineralization. The survey, which will cover an area measuring about 9km by 9km, is expected to be completed in about 2 months time.
