QUARTERLY REPORT for the period ended 31 December 2010

www.cullenresources.com.au ASX Symbol: CUL 31[st ] January 2011

HIGHLIGHTS

Cullen’s West Pilbara iron ore JV projects are its major assets, with a number of other interests (carried or non-contributing) in Joint Ventures providing further exposure to discovery opportunities in coal, uranium, Rare Earth Elements (REE), gold and nickel

CATHO WELL, IRON ORE JV, WEST PILBARA :

JV Manager, API Management Pty Ltd (API) provided an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Catho Well Channel Iron Deposit of 98Mt @ 55.0% Fe which led to a Maiden JORC Ore Reserve Estimate of 70 Mt @ 54.8% Fe (Cullen 30%) of Proved and Probable Reserves. Subject to the completion of a “mine gate” agreement with the Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture (APIJV), this material will contribute to the main, blended product stream maintaining an average 57.1% Fe throughout the proposed 15 year mine life of the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project - Stage 1 mining operations. Cullen’s ownership in this scenario equates to production of ~1.4 Mt of iron ore per annum for a period of 15 years

WYLOO IRON ORE JV, WEST PILBARA :

JV Manager Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, has completed an RC drilling programme to test a Bedded Iron Deposit target at the Wyloo South prospect, and plans further drilling prior to an estimation of resources. Better drill results included: 36m @ 62.2% Fe from 48m; 33m @ 61.6% Fe from 21m; and 32m @ 61.2% Fe from 1m

YAMBLA URANIUM AND REE JV, NT:

JV Manager, Uranium Exploration Australia Limited, has reported it considers the Yambla Prospect area (Cullen 25%), is highly prospective for rare earth elements as well as uranium and, in particular, the much sought after Heavy REE

CANNING BASIN COAL JV, WA:

Heritage agreements have been signed and drilling programme plans have been drawn up by joint venture manager Advaita Canning Resources Pty Limited, to target coal in the Canning Basin, W.A. in the coming 2011 field season

KILLALOE GOLD AND NICKEL JV, WA:

Matsa Resources Limited (Matsa) has farmed into Cullen's Killaloe Project

CAPITAL RAISING

Cullen raised $1.9M through a well-supported Shareholder Share Purchase Plan in October 2010

MINING FEASIBILITY STUDY – Iron

WEST PILBARA, W.A.

MT STUART IRON ORE JOINT VENTURE - EL08/1135, 1292, 1330, 1341 , API JV 70%, Cullen 30% - iron ore rights.

The Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture (MSIOJV) is between Cullen - 30%, and the unincorporated joint venture known as the Australian Premium Iron Joint Venture (APIJV) - 70%. The APIJV comprises Aquila Steel Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Aquila Resources Limited ("Aquila" ASX: AQA)) 50%, and AMCI (IO) Pty Ltd 50%. In July 2010, Aquila reported the results of a Feasibility Study (FS) for the 30Mtpa West Pilbara Iron Ore Project - Stage 1 indicating technical viability. However, the completion of the Mining Feasibility Study for the Catho Well deposit (MFS), a subset of the FS mentioned above, has been delayed in order to incorporate the updated Resource Statement for the Catho Well deposit completed by Golder Associates Pty Ltd in October 2010 as follows.

Updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Catho Well Channel Iron Deposit: (Cullen 30%)

==> picture [452 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

The Catho Well Mineral Resource estimate is reported at a 53% Fe cut-off. The resource estimate has been compiled in accordance with the guidelines defined in the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code, 2004 Edition).

Revised mine planning and schedules will be run using the updated Catho Well Resource Statement prior to completion of financial modelling. This will form the basis of the financial evaluation to be included in the MFS (Catho Well). The updated resource modelling will also be incorporated into the broader West Pilbara Iron Ore Project mine plan and mining schedule of which the Catho Well deposit is a component. The MFS for Catho Well will include a scenario which assumes the ownership of Cullen’s run of mine ore will be transferred, after loading to trains, at the “mine gate”. Cullen has been advised that a sales agreement for the acquisition of Cullen’s Catho Well ore by the APIJV is now drafted and ready for review. It is anticipated that, based on the MFS, the MSIOJV Participants will require the JV Manager to submit a Development Proposal to the MSIOJV Participants and that this, in turn, will lead to consideration of a Decision to Mine by the MSIOJV Participants.

In December 2010, Cullen reported the maiden JORC Ore Reserve Estimate for the Catho Well Channel Iron Deposit based on the Resources Estimate (Table 1 and Appendix 1).Ore derived from the MSJV contributes to the main, blended product stream maintaining an average 57.1% Fe throughout the proposed 15 year mine life of the WPIOP - Stage 1 mining operations.

JV EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES – Iron

WEST PILBARA, W.A.

WYLOO – Iron Ore Rights JV with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (Fortescue); Cullen retains 100% of Other Mineral Rights - EL08/1393, El47/1154.1649,1650.

The Wyloo Project lies within Fortescue’s proposed “Western Hub” mining centre, and just south of Cullen’s, 30%-owned Catho Well Channel Iron Deposit which is part of the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project – Stage 1 (see Figures).

Fortescue can earn up to an 80% interest in the iron ore rights on E08/1393 and Es 47/1154, 1649 and 1650. An initial RC drilling program has been completed at the Wyloo South Prospect (E47/1649, E08/1393) encompassing 42 holes (see Figure) drilled on a ~ 200 x 100m grid spacing, for a total of 3,942m. The drillholes tested the lateral and vertical extents of previously mapped surface iron mineralisation occurring within the Brockman Iron Formation.

Results received (Table 2) include: 36m @ 62.2% Fe from 48m; 33m @ 61.6% Fe from 21m; and,32m @ 61.2% Fe from 1m. Six RC holes were completed at Wyloo North prospect as part of a larger programme completed by Fortescue along a target trend which transects some of their 100% held tenements.

Fortescue has previously indicated it expected that the Wyloo South drilling will have outlined an Exploration Target of at least 30Mt of mineralization, however further drilling is required prior to resource modeling and estimation of an initial JORC resource for the prospect .

EXPLORATION TARGETS

The term Exploration Target where used herein is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource under the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. the JORC Code (2004). The Exploration Target is not being reported as part of any Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

PARABURDOO – Iron Ore Rights JV with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (Fortescue), Cullen retains 100% of Other Mineral Rights - EL52/1667.

Fortescue can earn up to an 80% interest in the iron ore rights on Cullen’s E52/1667, located ~ 25km south east of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The tenement includes potential for bedded iron deposits within the Brockman Iron Formations, along strike from the Paraburdoo and Channar Groups of iron deposits.. A ten-hole drilling programme has been designed with targets including possible extensions to outcropping iron mineralisation and also buried CID mineralisation. A heritage survey has been completed and drilling will be undertaken in conjunction with other projects of Fortescue in the Eastern Hamersley.

JV EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES – Uranium

HARTS RANGE, N.T.

YAMBLA – EL26142, Uranium Exploration Australia Limited can earn 75%.

A regional drainage geochemical sampling program covering 3 of the 4 Harts Range tenements was completed in late November. A total of 235 -80# stream sediment samples were collected and submitted to AMDEL for assay. Initial results were received in mid-January 2011 and are currently being evaluated.

Figure . Location of UXA’s Yambla Project near Alice Springs NT.

The Yambla/Harts Range project lies in the Harts Range, 140km East of Alice Springs, Northern Territory. At Yambla (EL 26142), UXA has rights to acquire a 75% interest in the project from Cullen Exploration (ASX announcement 14 April 2010). The three Harts Range EL’s 27850, 27852 and 27874 are 100% held by UXA and cover a total area of 111km[2] located within the Entia Pegmatite Field, considered to be highly prospective for rare earth elements as well as uranium and in particular much sought after HREE such as europium, terbium and dysprosium used in the manufacturing of permanent magnets and power generators.

Uranium anomalism is also known from outcrops of pegmatite dykes where the presence of heavy rare earth elements (HREE) has been previously documented. At the Swallow-Hof prospect, UXA has traced an outcropping zone of pegmatite dykes over a distance of 1.7km containing anomalous uranium and HREE. One sample from the pegmatite also returned 305 ppm Tantalum and 375 ppm Niobium which is considered highly anomalous. Anomalous assay results from rock chip sampling returning up to 13.8% U3O8, 35ppm Tb, 270ppm Dy, and 2900ppm Y from isolated samples (see September 2010 Quarterly Report for details).

KIMBERLEY, W.A.

CANNING BASIN – ELs 04/1836, 1837, 1932, 1946 and 1930; ELAs 04/1838, 1933, and 1945.

Cullen has signed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Advaita Canning Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of a private, Singapore-based, energy-focused, investment company Advaita Power Resources Pte Ltd. (Advaita). Under the HOA, which relates to coal rights only, with Cullen retaining all other mineral rights, Advaita is required to spend $1.5M before 31 October 2012 to earn 75%, including minimum $500,000 before 31 October 2011. Thereafter, Advaita will then sole fund a further $2.0M on exploration and maintaining tenements in good standing. Cullen can contribute at 25%, or take a 20% Free Carried Interest to Decision to Mine based on a Bankable Feasibility Study.

Advaita was founded by Mr. Hari Kiran Vadlamani, who was earlier the co-founder of a successful power development company in India. Advaita is aiming to become a preferred fuel supply partner for Indian power producers and has mandates for coal supply from several power companies setting up over 10 GW of imported coal-based power capacity in India. Advaita holds various equity and exploration interests for coal in Indonesia, Australia and South Africa and a 15% strategic investment in Churchill Mining Plc, an AIM-listed company with a 2.73 billion tonnes JORC coal resource in East Kalimantan.

Cullen has planned a first pass drilling programme for EL04/1836 which covers some 50 strike-km of the Lightjack Formation along the northern limb of the St George Ranges Anticline. Implementation of this programme, to now be managed by Advaita, is subject to finalization of heritage agreements and subsequent heritage surveying of drill sites. This is now complete, and drilling will be undertaken in the coming 2011 field season.

MURCHISON W.A. – Gold and Base Metals

NORTH TUCKABIANNA, near CUE – EL 20/714, ELA 20/755,771 Cullen 100%.

The company has three exploration licences (two are applications) located approximately 30-50km east of Cue, covering the northern part of the Tuckabianna – Webbs Patch greenstone sequence, the eastern granitegreenstone contact, and possible greenstone enclaves within mapped granite. The principal exploration targets are gold and VMS-style base metal mineralisation in this underexplored northern section of the greenstone sequence, which is largely covered by colluvium and sandplain.

Regional geochemical sampling in early 2010 showed a large Au anomaly in ferruginous gravel (11-29ppb Au), approximately 3.5km x 0.75km, lying along the Tuckabianna Gold Trend. Follow-up, systematic geochemical sampling using plants showed two regional copper-thallium-silver (Cu-Tl-Ag) anomalies located in unexplored, sand-covered terrain, approx. 2km east of the mapped Tuckabianna greenstone sequence and 2-13km north of a mapped sedimentary inlier within the granite domain . The base metal anomalies lie approximately 45km southwest of the Quinns-Austin Cu-Pb-Zn deposit and 13km northeast of a Cu-Pb-Zn prospect on the eastern side of the Tuckabianna sequence (see Figure).

It is conceivable that east of the Tuckabianna trend and under sand cover, clastic and/or volcaniclastic sediments and greenstone remnants host the geochemical anomalies Cullen has generated. Cullen considers that the association of the anomalous elements is consistent with a geochemical signature expected from volcanic-hosted massive sulphide mineralization. Air core drilling will test the anomalies as soon as possible, following fulfillment of all statutory requirements.

NORTH EASTERN GOLDFIELDS W.A.– Gold and Base Metals

GUNBARREL – E53/1299, 1300, Cullen 100%; and, IRWIN BORE – E53/1209 and PLs 53/1251,1264,1265, Cullen 90% and Western Australian Resources Ltd 10%.

Cullen has been progressively reviewing the extensive database, and undertaken field assessments of the nickel and gold prospectivity of the belt. Regional data and models for new minerals discoveries, such as “Rosie” – nickel, and “Garden Well” - gold, in the Duketon greenstone belt, have been taking into consideration when identifying priority target areas for drilling at Gunbarrel as follows:

  • The northern and southern extensions of the Eureka North West mineralization, where previous intersections of gold in conglomerate include: 8m @ 2.92 g/t Au. The conglomerate/greenstone contact is interpreted to continue for some 10km to the north under lake cover and has not been tested by systematic drilling to date;

  • The northern and southern extension of the Taipan shear zone - the Taipan target area has a best drill intercept of 22m @ 2.1 g/t Au, including 6m @ 5.0 g/t Au. It is a robust mineralised system of quartz veining, pyrite and carbonate alteration hosted by sheared mafic schists over a strike length of 700m and up to 100m wide (91m @ 0.3 g/t Au in "DDH1" from 133m) and open to the north and south; and

  • The Southern – Jake-Rattle shear zone under cover (see figures)

Nickel targets include “AK47” (0.2m @ 1.93% Ni from 140m) – where further EM and drilling is required; the eastern RAB anomaly (11m @ 0.86 % Ni), where ground EM is planned; and several VTEM and ground EM anomalies near “GBD 15” (0.5m @ 0.95% Ni) where further RC drilling is required

KEY EXPLORATION INITIATIVE – Copper and REEs

NAMIBIA, SOUTH-WEST AFRICA

Cullen Resources Namibia (Pty) Ltd (Cullen Namibia) has initiated an exploration presence in Namibia, SouthWest Africa. Cullen Namibia has to date: lodged applications for ~ 8,000 sq km of prospective ground in Namibia; targeting large, sediment-hosted, African copper belt-type deposits; Tsumeb-type base metal deposits; and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in carbonatites.

Cullen Namibia’s exploration applications are in two groups in two prospective terranes: one for copper and silver, and the other for copper, and rare earth elements in carbonatites. The first group of applications is within the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) ; the second lies near the town of Tsumeb and the well known Tsumeb base metal deposit of the same name (see Figure):

The EPL applications are now being processed and reviewed by Namibian government departments with a decision on the grant of titles expected in the next six months.

Cullen has purchased aeromagnetics data and has commenced stratigraphic and structural interpretation. A field review has been completed and rapid assessment by geochemistry and drilling will commence as soon as the tenements are granted.

KEY EXPLORATION INITIATIVE – Coal

MILLUNGERA – EROMANGA – GALILEE BASINS, QLD

Cullen subsidiary , Montrose Resources Pty Limited, has applied for twelve Exploration Licences for coal (EPCs) covering ~ 10,400 sq km of ground in the Millungera Basin and along its margins; and two Cullen applications for coal (EPCs) along the northern margin of the Galliee Basin, north of Hughenden over ~ 1200 sq km (see Figures). The Millungera sedimentary basin occurs in the Julia Creek area, east of Cloncurry, North Queensland, and was only discovered in 2006/2007 following completion of a deep seismic reflection survey across the covered terrains to the east of the Mt Isa Inlier. The age of the rocks of the Millungera Basin is not known but adjacent sedimentary basins which may correlate include the Devonian to Carboniferous Drummond Basin, the Neoproterozoic to Ordovician Georgina Basin, and the Carboniferous to Triassic Galilee Basin (Hutton et al, 2009). The northern and northwestern margins of the Galilee Basin are covered by sediments of the Eromanga Basin which in themselves contain Jurassic coal beds (in the Blantyre Beds of the Injune Creek Group).

The potential of the Millungera Basin for hydrocarbons, geothermal energy, coal and/or minerals is also generally unknown, although it is interesting to note that it has been recognized that strong reflectors in the seismic sections across the Millungera Basin may be coal beds (Hutton et al, 2009), and applications by Vale Coal Exploration Pty Limited and Linc Energy Ltd are present in the area of Cullen’s applications in the northern part of this unexplored basin (see Figures).

Exploration will proceed by compilation and interpretation of existing geophysical data and previous mineral, petroleum and water exploration drillholes in the first instance.

KEY EXPLORATION INITIATIVE – Iron Oxide Copper Gold

MILLUNGERA BASIN, QLD

Cullen has also applied for five Exploration Permits for Minerals (EPMs) in the same general area as its coal applications in the northern part of the Millungera Basin, overlying a target area for Iron Oxide Copper Gold mineralization (IOCG) and sediment-hosted uranium mineralization. These applications are centered on a large altered, granite body which occurs at Mt Fort Bowen, clearly visible on the aeromagnetics data (see previous figure). The Queensland Mines Department has mapped a target corridor for IOCG deposits which crosses the eastern margin of the Mt Fort Bowen intrusive body (see Figure).

==> picture [350 x 518] intentionally omitted <==

Together these applications for coal and IOCG/uranium, in the name of Cullen’s wholly-owned subsidiary Montrose Resources Pty Limited, comprise a potential new exploration frontier for Cullen.

APPENDIX 1

Reserve Estimation – Mt Stuart Joint Venture and the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project ‐ Stage 1 Development

ORElogy, an independent mine planning consultancy, has completed a Reserve estimate for the Mt Stuart Joint Venture based on the eight Channel Iron Deposits within the WPIOP – Stage 1 development area. The MSJV Ore Reserve estimate is based on the Catho Well CID and is a subset of the total WPIOP – Stage 1 Ore Reserve.

The Ore Reserve has been prepared in accordance with the Australasian JORC 2004 (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) code. The Ore Reserve has been classified as Proven and Probable based on the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource classifications respectively. Inferred Mineral Resources have not been included in the Ore Reserve estimation.

The Ore Reserve estimate attributable to the MSJV is detailed in Table 1 (page 3)

As previously stated the Ore Reserve has been estimated by incorporating all deposits within the WPIOP – Stage 1 development area in order to achieve the targeted blended product grade specifications. The attributable MSJV Ore Reserve represents 16% of the total WPIOP – Stage 1 Proven and Probable Reserve totaling 445 Mt. The MSJV Ore Reserve has been derived from the Catho Well CID.

The WPIOP – Stage 1 Ore Reserve is reported as two products;

  • Product 1 ‐ representing the main production stream maintaining an average 57.1% Fe throughout the life of the WPIOP ‐ Stage 1 mining operations, and;

  • Product 2 ‐ a lower grade product stockpiled throughout the mining operation and shipped following the completion of Product 1 Ore sales based on an annual average product grade of 55% Fe.

Ore derived from the MSJV contributes to the main product stream (Product 1). No material has been scheduled for the lower grade Product 2 from the Catho Well deposit. A two product stream has been modelled for the broader WPIOP – Stage 1 in order to maximise the Ore Reserve.

The MSJV Ore Reserve has been reported as the Ore produced and contributing to the production of the WPIOP – Stage 1 blended products. Variation between the MSJV Ore Reserve grades reported above and the Product 1 specification has resulted from the separation of Ore contributed by the Red Hill (Jewel, Cochrane, Cardo Bore North, Cardo Bore East, Upper Cane, Kens Bore (partial), Catho Well (partial) and Trinity Bore CID) and API Joint Venture’s (Kens Bore East CID).

Ore Reserve Parameters

The Ore Reserve estimate in Table 1 has taken into account the following parameters:

  • Updated resource block models for all deposits within the WPIOP – Stage 1 development area. These resource models utilise the most up‐to‐date information provided by API to ORElogy;

  • Mining Study version 5 information, which includes current mining methods, costs, recovery and geotechnical information;

  • A review of all pit optimisations using the above information;

  • Re‐designed ultimate pits for each resource;

  • Mineable reserves using only measured and indicated resources; and

  • A life‐of‐mine schedule that meets the product specification requirements in a practical and achievable manner, throughout the life of the operation.

Pit Optimisation, Mine Design and Scheduling

The Ore Reserve reported is within pit designs based on shell selection from Whittle 4X pit optimisations carried out on Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources only. The resource models used for the pit optimisations were prepared by Golder Associates and reported in October 2010 (ASX release 29 October 2010). The regularised block size used for all models was 25m x 25m x 4m reflecting the scale of mining to be

Page 20

ASX - Quarterly Report 31 December 2010

used. Mining models were created using MineSight software. The mining models were exported to Whittle 4X for pit optimisation and subsequent pit shell selection.

The pit design and optimisation criteria used are detailed in Tables 2 and 3 (below) and are based on appropriate studies completed in preparation of a WPIOP feasibility study. The revenues and costs may differ as between the different participants in the joint ventures that make‐up the WPIOP.

The pit optimisation incorporated an ore loss factor of 9.5%. This approach centres on maintaining product quality and the preference to account for higher ore loss rather than suffer dilution that would negatively impact product quality.

The optimal shells generated were used as the base for pit and stage design. Mine scheduling was undertaken using evORElution scheduling software, with the aim to confirm the ability to produce 30Mtpa of primary product from the pit designs. The scheduling is based on annual reporting periods and the following scheduling philosophy:

  • The WPIOP – Stage 1 is split into 3 distinct mining areas that is, north (Cochrane and Jewel), central (Kens Bore, Cardo Bore North, Cardo Bore East and Upper Cane) and south (Trinity Bore and Catho Well);

Page 21

ASX - Quarterly Report 31 December 2010

  • Ore is mined from each of the northern and southern areas at the average grade of the combined resources in each region. Ore from the central area is mined at such a rate and from the appropriate locations to ensure a consistent overall grade is maintained during the course of each year and over the life of the mine;

  • Once mining in all areas is concluded, the rehandle of stockpiled second product will commence;

  • All stockpiled ores will be transported to the Central Processing Facility.

The updated resource estimates used in determining the Ore Reserve has resulted in a low waste to ore ratio. The final pit designs, for all deposits, produced a waste to ore strip ration of 1.13:1 for the WPIOP – Stage 1 mine development
