Quarterly Report for December 2006

Highlights:

  • Rich mineralisation confirmed at Quartz Circle including:
  • $\circ$ 3m @ 5.08% Cu, 123 g/t Ag and 1.79 g/t Au Igloo Prospect
  • o 11m @ 4.08% Zn, 66 g/t Ag and 0.6 g/t Au Emperor Prospect
  • Another 3300m of RC drilling completed to further test Igloo chalcopyrite and Emperor Pb-Zn

Quartz Circle, Nullagine, WA (Graynic 80%)

Quartz Circle is a base metal project which is believed to be volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VMS) in style. Drilling has focused on the Igloo Copper Prospect, which has copper oxides and primary copper sulphide at shallow depth, and at the Emperor Lead-Zinc Prospect which is part of a 3km-long Pb-Zn geochemical anomaly. Rich mineralization has previously been found in several drill holes at both of these prospects.

Drillina

A further 3300m of RC drilling has been completed at Quartz Circle including 1700m in December 2006 and the remainder in early January 2007. The program included 6 drill holes to test part of the Emperor lead-zinc prospect, 7 holes to further test the primary copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation at Igloo, and 2 holes as an initial test an EM conductance anomaly to the south of Emperor. Assay results are expected to be received in February.

EM conductance anomaly

An EM survey flown over the project area in August revealed a large conductance anomaly about 1km in diameter. Conductance is a measure of conductivity times thickness, and the anomaly could represent an accumulation of weakly conductive sulphide such as disseminated pyrite and/or sphalerite. Two drillholes have been completed within the anomaly and the assay results are awaited. Pyrite content estimated at 1% to 10% was visible in both holes.

Reassays of 4m composites

The mineralized intersections previously reported as 4m composites have now been reassayed as 1m samples. Some of the intersections are slightly narrower in width but higher in grade as a result. The interval for IG 14 shown in the following table is one of three rich intersections in that hole, the others being 4m grading 7.18% Cu, 40 g/t Ag and 0.52 g/t Au from 42m downhole, and 3m arading 13.66% Cu. 146 a/t Ag and 5.52 alt Au from 50m. In some holes at Emperor significant gold and silver accompanies the zinc.

Recent reassays at Igloo Prospect and Emperor Prospect

Gulf Creek, NSW (Graynic 100%)

Gulf Creek is a historic copper mining area north of Tamworth in NSW which has not been subject to modern exploration. The copper was mined from three welldefined sulphide lodes which averaged between 2% and 6% Cu. There was also a significant amount of zinc in some of these lodes which was not of interest to the miners at that time but which now would be a significant credit.

This project is ready to be drill tested and a drilling program will commence as soon as a heritage and cultural survey can be completed.

Wertago, NSW (Gravnic 100%)

This base metal project encompasses the Nutherangie Silver Fields and Wertago Copper Field adjacent to the Koonenberry Fault. Historic drilling has intersected up to 2m $@$ 4.6% Cu below some of the old workings and also 12.2m $@$ 4.6 g/t Au with no follow up. The target is a Cu-Zn-Au-Ag deposit adjacent to the large fault, which could have acted as a conduit for metal-bearing fluids.

Interpretation of an airborne EM survey has been completed and there are a number of EM conductors and magnetic anomalies to be followed up. Field work is planned during the quarter to identify suitable drilling targets for early drilling.

Yanco Glen, NSW (Wolf Minerals Limited 100% of Tin and Tungsten, Gravnic 100% all other minerals)

The Yanco Glen project consists of a large exploration licence which has potential for tungsten, gold and base metals. In March 2006 Graynic completed some RC drilling of one of the several known tungsten prospects, with encouraging results. Due to significant progress at its base project at Quartz Circle in WA it was decided to defer further exploration for tungsten for the time beina.

Gravnic has now transferred its interest in the tin and tungsten potential at Yanco Glen to a new float. Wolf Minerals Limited, in exchange for 2 million Wolf shares. The Graynic Board sees this deal as the best way for Graynic shareholders to derive an early benefit from their tungsten prospect. Wolf will be able to focus on these specialty metals in a time of buovant prices while Graynic continues to progress its base and precious metals interests in WA and NSW.

Ron Thom Managing Director 30 January 2007

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves was compiled by R Thom, who is a Member of the AusIMM. R Thom has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. R Thom, who is an employee of Graynic Metals Ltd, consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
