Lawson Gold Ltd – Interim Financial Report

Directors’ Report

The Directors of Lawson Gold Ltd (‘Lawson Gold’) present their report together with the financial statements of the Company for the half year ended 31 December 2011 and the Independent Review Report thereon.

Director Details

The following persons were Directors of Lawson Gold during the half year and until the date of this report.

Mr David Hillier, Chairman Mr David Turvey, Executive Director Mr Peter Watson, Non-Executive Director

Principal Activities

The principal activity of the Company during the period was to continue to conduct mineral exploration on tenements held and to seek out new areas with potential mineralisation.

There was no significant change in the nature of the Company’s principal activities during the period.

Operating results and Review of Operations

The loss after income tax for the half year attributable to members of Lawson Gold Limited was $568,306 (2010: Loss after tax of $256,804).

Exploration activity

An interpretation of the geological setting for gold mineralisation was completed at the Lawson Gold Project located approximately 20km north of Kanowna near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

The geological interpretation was based on results from recent surface geological mapping, petrological studies of diamond drill core and re-logging of RC and RAB drill holes, and reviews of geochemical data (soil sampling) and geophysical data (aeromagnetic surveys). The interpretation concluded that gold mineralisation at the Lawsons Prospect is related to sheared and quartz-veined margins of porphyry intrusive rocks. This style of mineralisation is similar to the nearby Mulgarrrie mining centre, where several gold deposits containing 50,000-100,000 ounces were mined in 1980’s-90’s.

A review and interpretation of all previous soil sampling results on Lawson Gold’s current exploration tenements was completed in order to prioritise soil gold anomalies and identify new gold exploration targets. Outcomes of the review included:

• a) Soil gold anomalies were identified that represent new gold exploration targets

• b) Multi-element geochemical signatures assisted in prioritising soil gold anomalies

3

Lawson Gold Ltd – Interim Financial Report

• c) Previous geochemical sampling methods were validated

• d) Greater understanding was gained of “cost effective” sampling methods, data analysis and interpretation methods

• e) A “clean” geochemical database was established for ongoing exploration.

Results of the geochemical review have been used for planning the ongoing gold exploration program, including geological mapping and follow-up surface and/or auger soil sampling.

A geological and structural interpretation of open file aeromagnetic data was completed by Southern Geoscience Consultants. Outcomes included:

• a) Structural framework (faults & shear zones) and litho-stratigraphic packages were identified that may host gold, nickel and base metal mineralisation.

• b) New gold exploration targets were generated based on structural and alteration associations.

• c) High quality aeromagnetic database was established that provides competitive advantages and increases the “probability of success” for ongoing exploration.

• d) Basis for technical evaluation of neighbouring project areas and “benchmarking” of remaining gold exploration targets on Lawson Gold’s ground.

At this stage of the exploration program, Lawson Gold has not yet accomplished its stated objective of discovery of a gold deposit with the potential to contain and produce a half million ounces of gold. We have not closed off all possibilities and interpretation and target generation is ongoing.

Corporate activity

During the period the company continued to pursue additional opportunities which might add to the strength and diversity of the exploration portfolio. Discussions on a number of these opportunities within the core focus of exploration for precious and base metals are ongoing. Costs associated with these investigations will be expensed until such time as any definitive agreement is reached.

Auditor’s independence declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 5 and forms part of the Directors’ report for the half year ended 31 December 2011.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Lawson Gold Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

• a giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
