STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

DRILLING DEFINES HIGH GRADE ZONES AT DURACK

10 June 2004

WEMBLEY PROJECT (Grange 100%, Gleneagle Gold Limited ("Gleneagle") Option to earn 80%)

The Wembley Gold Project is located approximately 65km south east of Gleneagle's Fortnum Gold Project and comprises one granted mining lease and a mining lease application. The granted mining lease covers the Durack and Outback prospects, which host a resource of 557,000 tonnes grading 2.18g/t gold (39,000 contained ounces). Gleneagle has an option to earn an 80% interest in the tenements by spending \$500,000 on exploration.

Results from Gleneagle's initial Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling program at the Durack Project have confirmed the presence of high grade mineralisation within the current resource of $(557,000)$ tonnes at 2.2g/t for 39,000 ounces).

Gleneagle has now received all results from the first drilling program completed by the Company at the Durack Project. This program was designed to test for high grade near surface mineralisation within the resource plus potential down dip extensions of interpreted high grade shoots.

The attached table summarises results for the 15 RC holes completed (for 1,578 metres) in this program, with 11 of the holes returning intersections in excess of $2.0g/t$ . Better intersections include:

DURC004 12 $m$ at 8.04g/t from 87 $m$ (cut)
including 3.0m at $25.9g/t$ from 87m (cut)
DURC005 $8.0m$ at $7.15g/t$ from 14m (cut)
including $3.0m$ at $16.1g/t$ from $15m$ (cut)
DURC008 $25m$ at $3.19g/t$ from $77m$
including 2.0m at 19.6g/t from 80m

This drilling has confirmed:

  • The presence of high grade near surface mineralisation which may enable $\bullet$ the development of shallow open pits.
  • The potential for the delineation of a series of high grade shoots extending $\bullet$ beneath the current resource.
  • A component of higher grade mineralisation that may elevate the tenor of the $\bullet$ current resource grade.

Gleneagle's exploration of the Wembley Joint Venture will now progress on two fronts; one being the ongoing development of regional targets and potential repetitions of the Durack style mineralisation and the other being the evaluation of the economic potential of the high grade zones of mineralisation defined with the current resource. Modest tonnage, higher grade open pit deposits at Durack have the potential to augment feed to Gleneagle's Fortnum Gold Project treatment plant.
