Australian Stock Exchange Announcement

EXPLORATION UPDATE: URANIUM, NICKEL, COPPER, GOLD AND VANADIUM

6 July 2007

The Manager Companies Announcements Office Australian Securities Exchange 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000

HIGHLIGHTS Additional analytical results for the Windimurra uranium prospect include 2 metres from surface at 0.48 kg U-O8 per tonne

• Reverse circulation drilling on Milgoo electromagnetic anomalies seeking nickel mineralisation has indicated EM responses are due to sulphides.

• At Milgoo northwest, a zone of about 17 metres containing 10-15% pyrite was intersected in an
altered ultramatic rock. Downhole geophysical probe and analytical results are awaited

Surface sampling of 18 km long Canegrass magnetite horizon indicates iron and vanadium grades to 62%Fe and 1.2% Vo0s respectively

Billa Kalina gravity target drilling progressing well

· Alluvial gold testing has resumed at Sellheim

Windimurra Uranium Prospect

Maximus has received further analytical results for its first pass program of 320 x 160 metre spaced aircore drilling on the Windimurra palaeochannel (Figures 1 and $2$ ).

Analytical results for a further 18 holes recorded best intervals from surface of 2 metres at 0.48 kg U3Og per tonne (Hole MNAC0157). Further analytical data is awaited (Figure 2).

Selected infill aircore drilling, to be undertaken later in July, will be used to determine the extent of mineralisation around the better of the wide spaced drilling to date.

Milgoo Nickel Prospect

The reverse circulation drilling of two electromagnetic (EM) anomalies in the Milgoo area of the Namdee layered mafic complex commenced on June 29 (Fígure 1).

Figure 1 Location of Windimurra Uranium Prospect, Canegrass Vanadium Prospect and Milgoo Nickel Prospect.

Figure 2 Windimurra Uranium Project, Proposed and completed drilling.

Two holes on a single traverse across the 800 metre long Central EM anomaly intersected several one metre intervals of 50% pyrrhotite/pyrite within an altered fine grained ultramafic rock. This suggests the EM response is due to sulphides. Further drilling along strike of this EM anomaly is required before its full potential can be determined

A single hole testing the smaller NW conductor intersected traces of disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite in an upper ultramafic rock and approximately 17 metres of 10-15% pyrite in a probable altered ultramafic rock. Again the EM response is inferred to be due to sulphides.

Unfortunately, due to commitments elsewhere, the drill contractor was unable to remain on site long enough to complete the total program of a further two holes on the Central Anomaly. However, each of the completed holes will be probed for geophysical response in the next week and selected drill samples will be analysed for nickel, copper and platinum group metals as soon as possible.

Further drill testing of these targets will await assessment of this data and the retention of a new drilling contractor prepared to complete the program. of work.

Canegrass Vanadium Prospect

As part of its investigation of various mineral occurrences within the extensive Namdee - Windimurra lavered mafic complexes. Maximus has undertaken initial surface sampling of the exposed northeastern end of the 18 km long Canegrass magnetic anomaly (Figures 1 and 3). Analytical values to 62% iron and 1.2% Vo0s have been recorded for gab samples from magnetite iron exposures along the magnetic feature. (Figure 3).

The Canegrass prospect has been previously explored for vanadium bearing magnetite first by WMC Resources Limited and, more recently, by Vanadium Australia Pty Ltd (Operator for the Xstrata Resources - Precious Metal Australia Limited joint venture). Each was successful in locating significant vanadium values but the nearby Windimurra Vanadium deposit dominated VAPL's interest and the Canegrass prospect was surrendered.

Given the extensive nature of this Canegrass magnetic horizon. Maximus intends to undertake a more comprehensive review of previous exploration. The

review is expected to lead to further exploration activities that will include drilling of the best vanadium targets and assessment of the magnetite iron horizons. for units with specifications more suitable as an iron ore.

BILLA KALINA JOINT VENTURE PROJECT

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Maximus diluting to 50%

Joint venture partner and operator, Eromanga Uranium Limited (ERO), has advised that drilling of the gravity feature considered prospective for Olympic Dam style copper-gold-uranium mineralisation at Billa Kalina is continuing in core drilling. The first of two planned holes is now at more than 224 metres depth with the target zone being anticipated at over 400 metres in depth.

SELLHEIM GOLD PROJECT.

QUEENSLAND

Maximus option for 100%

Following improvement in the recent unseasonal wet. weather, test pitting and sample processing of the altuvial materials at Sellheim has recommenced.

Drilling of the bedrock beneath the alluvial cover for geochemical samples is expected to resume on July 11. Further results from these programs will be released when available.
