A key part of the Company's strategy is to actively pursue the acquisition of, and/or participation in additional advanced resource projects.

Projects:

Southern New England

  • Glen Morrison Project (EL7699)

• Cobark Project (EL7698)

• Niangala (EL7877)

• Upper Hunter (EL7874)

QUARTERLY REPORT

For the period ending 31 March 2012

HIGHLIGHTS

Tellus Resources Ltd

On 21 November 2011, Tellus Resources announced it had entered into a Binding Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Premier Minerals Pty Ltd (Premier). Tellus is in the final stages of the due diligence.

The Chillagoe Gold Project is a significant Intrusive Related Gold (IRG) Project with granted mining leases 13km south‐west of the Red Dome – Mungana gold and base metal operation near Chillagoe in far North Queensland.

A drilling rig has been secured which will be mobilised to site upon completion of the deal with Premier. The drilling will focus on the two mining lease areas, Wandoo and Empire following up significant shallow gold‐silver intersections including 22m @ 3.15 g/t Au Eq[1] (Wandoo) and 21m @ 2.28g/t Au (Empire).

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2012

==> picture [169 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

Compilation and interpretation of the drillhole data for the Chillagoe Project has increased the geological understanding of the mineralisation. Three styles of mineralisation are evident within the mining leases all of which are related to the Late Carboniferous intrusives (similar to Red Dome – Mungana):

  1. Epithermal veining (figure 1) – Hardman’s Lode is a 2.4m wide, narrow, high grade epithermal style vein mined in the 1930’s to a vertical depth of approximately 75m. The vein reported to have produced at one (1) ounce to the tonne gold and twelve (12) ounces to the tonne silver. The margins of Hardman’s Lode were drilled by Noble Resources in the 1980’s. They intersected some voids and gold mineralisation eg 3m @ 4.13g/t AuEq[1] , 3m @ 3.62g/t AuEq[1] and 12m @ 1.3g/t AuEq[1] .

The Hardman’s Lode plunges to the east and the area down plunge of the ‘lode’ has not been drilled.

  1. Breccia related (figure 2) – at Wandoo mineralisation at the area referred to as Bayley’s is located in and on the margins of a granodiorite breccia very similar to Kidston and Mt Leyshon. The best intersection to date at Bayley’s is 22m @ 3.15g/t AuEq[1] (which is open at depth).

  2. Contact porphyry related (figure 3) ‐ at Empire the mineralisation is hosted within granodiorite on the contact of a porphyry intrusion similar to that seen at Red Dome (figure 1). The best drillhole intersection to date at Empire is 21m @ 2.28g/t Au (note this area has been analysed for gold only despite copper stained outcrop at surface).

All of the mineralisation seen in the Chillagoe Gold Project is shallow and intrusive related and should continue to significant depths. Red Dome has been defined to at least 1,000m deep to date and is still open at depth.
