Quarterly Activity Report For the period ending 30 September 2011
Victory West Metals Limited ( “VWM” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with this Quarterly Activities Report for the three (3) months ending 30 September 2011.
Major Expansion into Rapidly Growing Coal Sector
During the quarter, the Company signed Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of South East Asia Energy Resources Pte Ltd (SEAE). This transaction includes:
-
A pipeline of thermal and coking coal concessions in East Kalimantan
-
A proven management team capable of identifying, assessing and operating these world class projects
-
Offtake agreements for up to 200,000 tonnes per month with major international parties.
The acquisition will be satisfied by 330 million fully paid shares and 33 million VWM options and a cash payment of $750,000.
Agreed milestones of 2.6mt annual production and 50mt JORC inferred resources are in place for full payment of consideration.
Malala Molybdenum Project, Sulawesi, Indonesia
The Malala Project is located in the Toli Toli Regency of Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, approximately 150km to the north of Palu (Figure 1). The project comprises five IUP concessions: PT Inti Cemerlang, PT Promistis, PT Era Moreco, PT Sembilan Sumber Mas & PT Indo Surya. The total area forming the Malala Project is in excess of 240km2 (Figure 2) spread across the five concessions all of which are located within 15km of the coast.
Since acquisition, VWM has worked diligently at compiling and reviewing the historical data and re-initiating the exploration process. The majority of work has targeted Anomaly B, the key area of Rio Tinto/Santos exploration efforts in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Rio Tinto had defined a non-JORC compliant resource at Anomaly B which is the basis of VWM’s exploration target of 105-115Mt @ 660-900ppm Mo[1] . In FY2009, VWM began the task of proving up this initial resource target, with this work continuing throughout FY2010. The Company has significantly advanced its understanding of the Anomaly B prospect area, with detailed trenching and geophysical surveying making large contributions to this improved understanding.
1 In accordance with Clause 18 of the JORC Code, it is important to note that no JORC Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves have been established on these tenements and any current assessment remains subject to ongoing exploration work and drilling. The current interpretation remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work performed by Rio Tinto, Santos and VWM.

During the Quarter, the Company and CGGC have entered into a variation and extension agreement of the original terms until 31 December 2011. In addition, management and consultants continued to work with the Provincial Government and other stakeholders to advance the approvals for development of the Project.

Convertible loan holders agreed to extend the agreement of the Loan until 30 November 2011, on the same terms.

Competent Persons Statement
The data in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results, Resources and Reserves is based on information reviewed and evaluated by Mr. Brett Gunter who is a member of The Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) and who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”). Mr. Gunter is a fulltime employee of GMT Indonesia and he consents to the result as they appear.
* JORC Exploration Targets
It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this announcement relating to exploration targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or Reserves(s) have not been used in this context. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. In accordance with Clause 18 of the JORC Code, it is important to note that no JORC Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves have been established on these tenements and any current assessment remains subject to ongoing exploration work and drilling. The current interpretation remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work performed by previous owners.
