OVERVIEW OF EXPLORATION PROJECTS
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
GIDGEE PROJECT
As reported to the ASX on June 28, 2010, Gateway has entered into two farm-in agreements with Avenue Resources Limited, a company which listed on the ASX on September 15, 2010. These tenements do not include those currently held in the current JV between Gateway and Red 5 Limited.
The listing of Avenue now means that drilling will commence – both an RC and aircore rig have been secured, with drilling commencing in the last week of October, 2010, as reported to the ASX on October 26, 2010.
This drilling will cover a number of targets, both within and outside the Avenue JV areas. Targets to be tested include Rosie Northeast, Julia’s Fault, MontagueBoulder, Whistler and a number of geophysical targets throughout the tenement holdings. Locations and prospects are shown in Figures 2 and 3.
As reported previously statutory approvals and drill pad preparations have already been completed for the proposed drilling.

Rosie Northeast and Montague Boulder. RC Seven drillholes for 1400m have been planned for these prospects.
The Cup E57/417
Gateway 100%, (Avenue earning 80%)
The JV is currently considering options for progressing “The Cup” copper prospect.
Julia’s Fault M57/429 and Victory Creek M57/485 tenements
Gateway 75%/Red 5 25 %
Up to 500m in four drillholes are planned to further delineate the gold mineralisation at the Julia’s Fault prospect, which is not included in the Avenue agreements. In addition up to 1,700m of aircore drilling is planned to test a number of EM targets located within the two tenements.
A data review is continuing on the Victory Creek prospect, with this to be used to plan further field activities.
Victory Well area P57/1179, P57/1181
Gateway 100%, (Avenue earning 80%)
As reported last quarter one drillhole, GRC205, was drilled to test an EM anomaly and intersected 14m of semi-massive to massive sulphides, although no anomalous geochemistry was associated with this interval.
Despite the low assay results from hole GRC206, a further 100 to 200m of drilling is planned given the extent of the EM anomalies and presence of a number of gossanous outcrops.
Bungarra West Joint Venture E57/709
Gateway 30%, Legend Mining 70%
Following the results of the RC drilling as reported last quarter, Legend has elected to withdraw from the Bungarra West Joint Venture, with E57/709 to revert 100% to Gateway. Gateway will also purchase the adjoining 100% Legend held tenement E57/706, with settlement during the December quarter.
The Company will conduct a review of all exploration data to date on these tenements prior to planning future field activities.
NEW SOUTH WALES
COWRA PROJECT :EL 5514 & 6102
Gateway Mining 49%; Minotaur 51%, Mitsubishi Corporation - Mitsubishi Materials Corporation earning 24%.
In the course of the quarter a detailed study was made of geophysical responses in the tenement areas. The result of this work which was guided by recent work by a number of authors and based on models of porphyritic sub intrusions around large granite batholiths was positive and nine targets were identified. These will be followed up in the next quarter. Planned field activities including field mapping, geochemical surveys employing NITON technology and a ground geophysics will be completed in the coming Quarter.
