EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Northeastern Goldfields
GUNBARREL GOLD PROJECT - (Eureka Group, E's 53/568, 53/535, 53/818, 53/837, MLA's 53/868-870, Cullen 100%; Irwin Bore Group, E53/403, ELA's 53/925 and 981, Cullen 90%: ELA's 53/1040, 1096, Cullen 100%).
The Company's Gunbarrel Gold Project is located about 130km east of Wiluna in the N.E. Goldfields, Western Australia. The 650 km2 Gunbarrel Gold Project covers 50 strike km of the Mount Eureka Greenstone Belt, an underexplored belt located 90km east of the highly productive Yandal Greenstone Belt
Cullen's exploration in this belt to date has discovered significant gold mineralisation at the Southern Prospect which has been the focus of recent drilling and the subject of several announcements to the Australian Stock Exchange over the last twelve months. Table 1 is a compilation of all significant drill hole intersections announced from the commencement of drilling in June 2002.
Southern consists of two zones of mineralisation named Central and Galway (Fig.1). Understanding the geology of the prospect and controls on mineralisation has been hindered by the lack of outcrop (up to 3m of transported cover), very deep weathered profile (up to 100m) and intense hydrothermal alteration.
Compilation of all data obtained at Southern to date has resulted in a better understanding of the geological controls to mineralisation and has provided a model to apply in prioritising other parts of the project.
SOUTHERN PROSPECT DRILLING
A programme of shallow aircore drilling (55 holes, 3,441m) was completed at Southern. Principal aims were:
- $\mathbf{1}$ . To better elucidate the geological controls on the gold mineralisation.
- To test the shallow, up dip projections of the multiple, stacked lodes detected by earlier $2.$ drilling at the Central Zone.
- To in-fill previous drilling at the Galway Zone and to test for possible southerly extensions. $31$
Significant intersections included: 1m @ 11.9 g/t Au (MEAC 227), 2m @ 2.7 g/t Au (MEAC 235) (with a repeat assay of 2m $\omega$ 11.7 g/t Au indicative of coarse gold) and 2m $\omega$ 6.25 g/t Au (MEAC 223), which are shown in Table 2 and plotted on the attached figure.
The Central Zone is now known to comprise at least three shallowly dipping lodes within an E-W trending zone stretching for at least 300m. These lodes plunge shallowly to the ENE and remain open down plunge east of MERC 74 and MERC 75 (Fig.1 and Table 1). These lodes are preferentially hosted by a package of mafic rocks and are overlain by generally barren ultramafic rocks. The extension of the lodes to the ENE position is supported by the recent results from MEAC 229 (2m @ 2.4 g/t Au to EOH).
The best intersections in the recent programme of drilling at the Galway Zone were 4 $\mathbf{m}$ (a) 2.0 and 1 $\mathbf{m}$ ( $\hat{\mathbf{\omega}}$ 8.5 g/t Au in MEAC 189. Gold mineralisation is interpreted to be localised in steep dipping shear zones at and near the contacts of felsic rocks with mafic and ultramafic rocks. At this stage, the potential of Galway is considered to be less than that of the Central Zone.
Shallow RAB drilling (29 holes, 914m) was also completed to the SE and SW of Southern, as a first pass test of Targets 1 and 2 (Fig.1) selected from the interpretation of Cullen's recent aeromagnetic survey where supported by anomalous lag gold geochemistry.
Both targets were shown by the drilling to be generally underlain by unmineralised ultramafic rocks considered to be generally unfavourable for hosting significant gold mineralisation. However, at the SW target (Target 2), a felsic/ultramafic contact could be an extension of a similar mineralised contact at the Galway Zone and warrants further testing. The most south easterly hole (MER 227). approximately 1 km SSE of Galway (Fig.1), intersected 4m $(a)$ 0.5 g/t Au in a quartz vein hosted by sheared dolerite and also warrants further investigation.
Five aircore holes drilled at an interpreted mafic/ultramafic contact at the Kilkenny Prospect, located about 850m NNW of the Central Zone, intersected weak gold mineralisation.
Several RC holes of the order of 200m deep are planned at the Central Zone to target: (a) possible down-dip extensions of the multiple, stacked lodes: b) ENE extensions of the lodes beyond MERC 74 (7m @ 9.05 g/t Au) and MERC 75 (9m @ 6.2 g/t Au); and, (c) possible lodes stacked beneath those intersected to date.

NEW PRIORITY TARGETS
Recognition of the lithological controls to mineralisation at Southern has provided a model to apply to the prioritization of some of the fifty targets generated from an interpretation of Cullen's recent, detailed aeromagnetic survey (130 km2). Approximately 80% of this area has now been reviewed in detail, and further exploration is planned to test: interpreted shear zones and faults, especially where supported by anomalous surface geochemistry and/or positive indications from previous drilling; structural and lithological analogies to the setting at Southern; and previously untested portions of the greenstone belt. Five "Priority 1" targets will be tested in the first pass with aircore, RAB drilling or geochemical drilling in a programme of $\sim 8,000$ m to commence in August. Field assessment and scheduling of target testing is now in progress.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
The Company has undertaken two initiatives recently:
- To rationalise the number of shareholders that hold non-marketable parcels of less than \$175 in $\bullet$ order to achieve significant cost savings in reporting to shareholders and share registry service costs: and
- To offer new shares at 3 cents per share to existing shareholders as of 28 July 2003, under the $\bullet$ Company's Shareholder Share Purchase Plan.
Sale of Non-marketable Parcels of Shares of less than \$175 value.
The sale applies to shareholdings of less than \$175 in value in the Company, which are significantly less than a marketable parcel defined by the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") as having a value of \$500.
At the record date of 7 July 2003, there were 2,848 shareholders holding a total of 2,916,090 shares to which the non-marketable parcel action applied. At that date, a non-marketable parcel which was less than \$175 in value, was 5,833 shares. Shareholders have the right to instruct the Company not to sell their shares, up to the closing date of 22 August 2003.
At 30th July, 146 shareholders holding 249,915 shares had elected to retain their shares.
Shareholder Share Purchase Plan
The Plan entitles all eligible shareholders in the Company to purchase up to \$4,950 worth of new shares in the Company at an issue price of 3.0 cents per share. During 2003 Cullen shares have traded between 2.8 cents and 5.4 cents. The record date for determining shareholders' eligibility to participate was 28 July 2003.
Purchase of shares under the Plan is an opportunity for shareholders to increase their shareholdings free of normal transaction costs. The maximum purchase is \$4,950 worth of shares (165,000 shares) and the minimum purchase is \$510 worth of shares (17,000 shares). Shareholders may also apply for any number of shares between these levels. The Plan also provides an opportunity to shareholders who hold less than a marketable parcel of shares (\$500 worth) to increase their shareholding to greater than the marketable parcel level free of normal transaction costs.
The issue is limited to 40 million new ordinary shares, which represents 14.9% of the current issued capital of Cullen. The maximum amount that would be raised is approximately \$1.2 million. If applications exceed the maximum of 40 million shares, they will be scaled back accordingly. Directors may close the offer earlier than the closing date of 27 August 2003 without notice.
