ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 15 June 2012

– Drilling programme commenced Minter Tungsten Project, New South Wales

Minter Tungsten Project (E 6572, Cullen 100%)

A combined RCP(reverse circulation percussion)/diamond drilling programme (~800m in total) is underway to test geochemical and geological targets at the Doyenwae and Orr Trig prospects within the Minter tungsten project, located approximately 50km north west of West Wyalong in central New South Wales. It includes shallow RCP drilling of soil and rock-chip tungsten geochemical anomalies at both prospects. In addition, a deep RCP/diamond drill hole to 250-300m is planned at each of the Doyenwae and Orr Trig prospects with a view to testing for tungsten mineralisation at and/or proximal to inferred mineralising intrusives.

Cullen is targeting intrusive cupola-related, vein/stockwork-type tungsten mineralisation along the 12km Doyenwae Trend - a north trending chain of fractured and quartz-veined zones in hornfelsed Ordovician sediments. This cuplola trend coincides with an underlying ridge of Kikora Granite (see Figure).

At Doyenwae, Cullen has previously discovered significant shallow tungsten in the form of ferberite (FeWO4) with associated goethite and limonite in aircore percussion drilling. Best intersections of 8m @ 0.38% WO3 from 22m in DAC3 and 24m @ 0.32% WO3 from 4m in DAC6 were obtained.

Cullen later carried out a trial gravity survey (on a 100 x 50m grid) over the Doyenwae (known scheelite and minor wolframite mineralisation in sediment-hosted quartz-carbonate-pyrite veinlets) to map suspected cupolas above the granites. Two prominent gravity highs 400m apart were obtained which correlate well with magnetically flat areas and highly anomalous tungsten, tin and arsenic in soils. Preliminary interpretation indicates the gravity highs could be due to mineralisation and alteration located above cupola(s). The cupola model is supported by an outcropping granite cupola located just 2km to the SE at “Scheelite Hill” (Minter North Prospect), where disseminated scheelite was discovered by Aberfoyle Limited in the early 1980s. At Doyenwae, the magnetically flat areas may reflect late stage alteration (magnetite destruction) in hornfels around the cupolas. The gravity highs therefore represent drill targets for potentially higher grade, cupola-related tungsten deposits.

Soil sampling at Orr Trig has outlined a large +50ppm tungsten soil anomaly extending for 1300m x 200-500m with a NNW trend with coincident tin and arsenic anomalies. A coherent +200ppm tungsten anomaly (max 496 ppm) has been outlined over a 550m x 100m area on the western flank of a large area of folded Ordovician siltstones/sandstones. A previous Aberfoyle RAB hole at the northern end of the anomaly intersected 3m @ 0.27% WO3 from 3m. Also, a circular 200m x 200m tungsten anomaly was outlined near Aberfoyle’s PDH15 (3.5m @ 0.10% WO3 from 0m and 7.5m @ 0.17% WO3 from 28.5m), about 400m west of the main soil anomaly.
