Overview

The Board of Core Exploration Ltd (“Core”) is pleased to present its quarterly activities report for the period ended 30 September 2012 . Core had a very active quarter both on the exploration front and corporately.

Exploration activity during the quarter includes outstanding copper/gold/silver/ uranium results at Fitton and silver/lead/zinc assays from the new Yerelina EL in S.A.

In addition, Core completed a process taking many months building its Albarta Project and taking a strong position in what the company believes will be Australia’s new copper exploration hot-spot in the N.T.

Project Activity

FITTON PROJECT, South Australia EL 4569 (100% CXO)

New, previously unreleased assays of rock-chip surface sampling from Choppy Prospect within the Fitton Project (Figure 1 & 2) include:

  • Sample MP 00595: 6.6% Copper 0.85 g/t Gold 28 g/t Silver

  • Sample MP 00681: 4.2% Copper 0.64 g/t Gold 32 g/t Silver

During the reporting period, Core completed a number of surface sampling and mapping campaigns to ground truth the source of magnetic anomalies identified by the Company’s geophysical surveys on EL 4569 Fitton.

Core currently has a 2,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program underway on these targets at the Company’s 100% owned Fitton Project (EL 4569) in northern South Australia.

Core’s RC drilling at Fitton is targeting the following prospects (Figure 1):

Figure 1. Prospect and drill target locations overlain on magnetic image, Fitton Project, S.A.

Scott Lee Prospect

Previous surface sampling by Core at Scott Lee has assayed up to 10.5% copper and 0.34% uranium (U3O8). A number of samples contained highly anomalous uranium above 100ppm for a strike length of over 800m and graded above 1% copper over a strike length of 150m.

==> picture [165 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Mineralisation at Scott Lee is associated with a shear zone and is magnetic at a local scale.

Choppy Prospect

New copper assays of up to 6.6% at surface, with high levels of gold 1g/t and silver 32g/t also associated with copper mineralisation at Choppy (Figure 2 & ASX announcement 28/8/12).

The Choppy Prospect is located 400m southwest of the Scott Lee Prospect. Copper mineralisation at Choppy consists of malachite bearing quartz and hematite along zones of sheared granite that are magnetic at local scale (Figure 1).

==> picture [470 x 294] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2. Choppy Prospect showing location of follow up sampling

Livingstone and Siri Prospects

At the Livingstone and Siri prospects, two new magnetic targets of similar dimensions to Scott Lee and Choppy have been identified to the east (Figure 1). Further mapping of these areas is currently underway to identify additional surface expressions of mineralisation.

Sherlock Prospect

Sherlock Prospect focus is on a 700m long magnetic anomaly that is covered by shallow soils (Figure 1 & 3). The magnetic anomaly is located on a regional scale WNW/ESE shear zone that intersects with the Hamilton Prospect 2km west (Figure 1). Historical copper workings are located further east along this same structure.

==> picture [165 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Hamilton Prospect

The largest target identified to date is a much larger magnetic anomaly located 2km south-west of Scott Lee at the Hamilton Prospect. While it is yet to be established if this new 1,300m long and 200m wide anomaly is mineralised, the outcropping geology comprises magnetite veined and sheared granite similar to Scott Lee and Choppy (Figure 1).

The large magnetic anomaly at Hamilton is positioned parallel to and within the regional-scale Terrapinna Corridor at a key geological position in between the Mt Painter and Mt Babbage Inliers (Figure 1 & 4).

Gold Prospect

Follow up sampling was also undertaken at a new gold target in the Adelaidean sediments 2km to the south west of the Scott Lee Prospect at the Gold Prospect.

Quartz veining, similar to that containing the initial 1 g/t gold sample, was mapped along a 1.3km strike to the south. Ground magnetics also shows an anomalous magnetic response associated with the veining and several possible repetitions.

A number of samples along the quartz vein return anomalous gold values up to 0.14 g/t. A repeat of the initial 1 g/t sample returned 0.11g/t which is consistent with the expected nuggety nature of gold in quartz veins. Elevated copper was also identified associated with this gold target (Figure 3). The generally anomalous nature of the vein system warrants further follow up.

OTHER SURVEYS ON FITTON

Initial ground magnetic survey

A ground magnetic survey was completed over the Scott Lee Prospect and broader area in early June 2012. The survey was undertaken after the observation that quartz-magnetite rocks were associated with copper.

The survey highlighted a very good correlation between observed copper mineralisation and shearing at surface (at the Scott Lee Prospect) and roughly east-west trending magnetic anomalies in the gridded data. Importantly a further two linear anomalies were observed to the south of the Scott Lee Prospect (Figure 1).

Detailed Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey

Following the positive results of finding new outcropping copper mineralisation associated with ground magnetic anomalies, a 1,000 line kilometre airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was flown to cover the entire prospective basement area of the Fitton tenement.

The detailed 25m line spaced survey defined a much more coherent anomaly with the copperuranium mineralisation sitting on the southern margin of the anomaly at Scott Lee (Figure 1). The main anomaly has a strike length of 430m with a second smaller anomaly approximately 140m to the west. Both are associated with anomalous copper-uranium and gold.

New targets were identified at the Choppy, Livingston and Siri Prospects just to the south of Scott Lee. Each target consists of a roughly east-west magnetic anomaly similar to Scott-Lee. Outcropping copper-gold-magnetite mineralisation has been identified at Choppy indicating that all these magnetic targets are prospective for copper-gold-uranium.

The broader survey has identified a much larger magnetic anomaly associated with the NE-SW Tindelpinna Shear Zone 2km south-west of the Scott Lee Prospect. Now identified as the Hamilton Prospect. This anomaly occurs in a NE-SW direction and is 1.4km long and 250m wide. It is yet to be established if this anomaly is associated with the same mineralizing system but magnetite bearing quartz veins have been identified in outcrop at this locality (Figure 1).

Heritage Clearance Surveys

Heritage site clearance surveys ahead of drilling were completed during the period with representatives and an anthropologist from the Adnyamathanha Traditional Land Association. All proposed drill sites and tracks were cleared.

==> picture [165 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Yerelina EL 5015

Core Exploration’s newly granted 1000km[2] Yerelina EL 5015 is highly prospective for shallow base and precious metal mineralisation. EL 5015 is located 20km west of Core’s Fitton Project (Figure 4).

Core’s mapping and sampling around and along strike from historic workings during the period has confirmed extensive silver, lead and zinc mineralisation. Mineralisation occurs at all three location sampled so far, which has exciting implications for the size of the broader mineralizing system.

Historic Target Silver Lead Zinc Pb+Zn
Great Gladstone 203g/t 5.0% 2.3% 7.30%
Emily 12.1 g/t 0.9% 12.4% 13.34%
Big Hill 5.9 g/t 1.7% 0.6% 2.35%

Table 1. Summary of best results of reconnaissance sampling of 3 historic mine workings, EL 5015.

Four historical workings, operating in the late 19[th] and early 20[th] century, are recorded from within EL 5015. Core’s analysis of modern satellite imagery and the Company’s recently completed detailed heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey data has identified that these workings are hosted by a large scale system of repeated north/south regional structures over many kilometres (Figures 5 & 6).

Core is also encouraged by the recent base metal discovery made by Cauldron Energy (ASX:CXU - 17/10/2012) 20km to the north of Core’s base metal and silver results (Figure 4).

Corporate

Core builds strong position in new Northern Territory IOCG province

During the reporting period, Core has engineered - through joint venture, acquisition and new tenement applications - the rights to 16 mostly contiguous tenements that comprise the Company’s new Albarta Project within this newly-identified and previously unexplored IOCG (Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold) terrain.

Core has built a strong strategic holding of tenement interests covering around 1,600km[2] of highly prospective geology within Australia’s new East Arunta IOCG province in the Northern Territory, 100km NE of Alice Springs (Figure 7).

Core’s tenements cover a number of significant copper, gold +/- uranium and rare earth element (REE) mineral occurrences (Table 1, Figure 7). The Company believes that the existing evidence of mineralisation, recently confirmed IOCG alteration in the region and large tenement holding over a substantial strike length of regional structures, makes this exciting exploration project very attractive for investment.

Importantly, Core’s new Albarta Project covers some 100km of strike length of interpreted prospective regional structures which are thought to control mineralisation.

The Company’s recognition and early move on Albarta leads growing industry and market recognition of this new, outcropping East Arunta IOCG terrain.

The recently confirmed East Arunta IOCG terrain represents a newly-recognised Proterozoic copper – gold province characterised by a long belt of structurally deformed granite and sedimentary sequences that contain variable amounts of quartz veining, strong iron and fluorite alteration, and outcropping copper - gold mineralisation.

Figure 7. Core Exploration’s and surrounding tenements and prospect locations, East Arunta IOCG Zone, Northern Territory.

The region’s prospectivity has been confirmed by the discovery of copper-gold mineralisation associated with IOCG style alteration by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) and the recent exploration success by Mithril Resources Ltd (ASX:MTH) with the discovery of further copper–gold mineralisation on its nearby Huckitta project (Figure 7).

Recent drilling by other explorers at a number of prospects within the East Arunta province has encountered IOCG style alteration and copper mineralisation. Copper sulphide mineralisation and broad widths of strong alteration confirm that a significant iron oxide copper-gold mineralised system is present in the region.

In addition to its IOCG potential Core’s Albarta tenements are also prospective for other mineralisation styles including gold, uranium, rare earths, volcanic hosted massive sulphide and sedex style base metal mineralisation.

Although the range of exciting prospects identified by Core on the Albarta Project are of a high priority (Figure 7), by acquiring a large tenement holding Core is able to undertake a regional and tenement wide, systematic approach to exploration focusing on IOCG targets.

CASH POSITION

Core Exploration had $1.93 million cash in hand as at 30 September 2012.

Outlook – December 2012 Quarter

Fitton, SA

First assay results from the new RC drilling program are to be received by the end of November.

Yerelina, S.A

Further mapping and sampling is planned at this tenement in Q4 2012 and will include mapping and sampling at the fourth historical workings (Great Northern) and at other potential extensions of gossan identified from interpretations of satellite imagery and newly acquired airborne magnetic data.

Core will undertake petrophysical analysis of the mineralised samples in an attempt to develop geophysical methods that could map mineralisation at depth. This data, in conjunction with surface mapping and sampling, will allow the company to develop a targeted drilling program focusing on near surface high grade mineralisation in 2013.

Albarta, N.T

Exploration on the Albarta project comprising reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling will commence in Q4 2012 focussed toward prioritising targets for drilling in 2013.
