MINING & EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

MT WINDSOR JOINT VENTURE

Reward Deeps and Conviction Project (Grange Resources Limited ("Grange") 30% Thalanga Copper Mines Pty Ltd ("TCM") 70%)

During the June quarter 142,470 tonnes of ore grading 3.81% copper were processed through the Thalanga plant for the production of 17,781 tonnes of copper concentrate containing $27.28\%$ copper and 0.8 g/t gold. The processing of partially oxidised stockpiled ore of varying grade resulted in copper recovery and concentrate grade being lower than budget for the quarter.

Ore production for the quarter was 191,695 tonnes with ore being mined from the Reward Deeps, Conviction and Chimney ore bodies. Ore production was below budget for the quarter but by the end of May sufficient stockpiles of ore had been built up to allow mill throughput to be increased to 110 tonnes per hour at the beginning of June.

A summary of the production statistics for the Reward Deeps project for the June 2003 quarter and project to 30 June 2003 is presented in Table 1.

The Reward Deeps and Conviction ore bodies are performing slightly better than expected with copper production reconciling well with the ore body models.

TCM, the manager of the Reward Deeps and Conviction Project, has received claims from Brandrill Limited with respect to its performance of the mining contract at the Reward Deeps and Conviction underground mine. TCM, on behalf of the joint venture, will be defending the claims and is currently preparing a counter claim.

The Company's first shipment of concentrate (9,332 tonnes) from the Reward Deeps Project was exported from Townsville on 20 April 2003. The Company's second shipment of approximately 10,000 tonnes is scheduled for export from Townsville towards the end of August 2003. Based on the current ore reserves the project is scheduled to produce approximately 179,000 tonnes of concentrate (Grange share 53,600 tonnes) containing 27.5% copper by June 2004.

Highway Project (Grange 30%, TCM 70%)

Rehabilitation of the Highway and Reward waste rock dumps has been completed apart from revegetation, which will be undertaken later in the year when climatic conditions are more suitable for seed germination and sustainable growth.

Exploration (Grange 30%, TCM 70%)

Lower Reward Deeps Diamond Drilling

The underground diamond-drilling programme to delineate the Lower Reward Deeps deposit was completed during June 2003. The programme comprised twenty-nine holes aggregating 4,032 metres. Twenty-three of the holes (2,956m) were drilled to increase confidence in the known resource and six deeper holes (1076m) were drilled to test a 100-metre zone vertically below the base of the known resource.

The final eighteen holes from the programme were completed during the June quarter. Fourteen of these holes recorded significant intersection including: $24m \omega$ 6.04% Cu in UG03_077, 12.2m @ 8.5% Cu in UG03_076, 7.7m @ 10.42% Cu in UG03_088, 15.7m @ 5.75% Cu inUGO3 91, 8m @ 5.82% Cu in UGO3 080 and 17m @ 4.04% Cu in UG03_083. A summary of significant drill results received during the quarter is provided in Table 2.

The wide intersection of high-grade mineralisation recorded in drill hole UGO3_091 is very encouraging as this shows the resource to be open at depth. This intersection, at RL 900, is approximately 50 metres vertically below the base of the known resource. Further drilling is planned to delineate the extent of the Lower Reward Deeps deposit.

Exploration

No exploration activities were carried out within the Freshwater tenements during the June 2003 quarter.

RED HILL (Mining Lease M27/57) (Placer Dome Asia Pacific ("PDAP") 100%, Grange 4% Gross Revenue Royalty)

Grange holds a 4% gross revenue royalty on all production after the first 85,000 ounces of gold produced from the Red Hill mining lease M27/57, which is located approximately 4 km north east of the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine owned and operated by PDAP.

PDAP has advised that mining operations continued at Red Hill during the quarter with the main focus being on grade control and production drilling. The pit perimeter and a consistent operational level continue to be developed with the pit at a depth of 10 metres below surface for a planned final depth of 153 metres below surface.

Total ore production from within M27/57 for the calendar year is 290,043 $\omega$ 1.19 g/t gold of which 180,669 tonnes $\omega$ 1.19 g/t gold was produced during the June 2003 quarter.

Total ore hauled to PDAP's Paddington processing facility for the calendar year is 286,143 tonnes @ 1.19 $g/t$ gold of which 233,831 tonnes were hauled during the June 2003 quarter.

Based on the current mining schedule it is estimated that royalty payments to Grange should commence at the end of the second quarter of 2004.

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

During the quarter Horseshoe Gold Mine Pty Ltd ("Horseshoe") a wholly owned subsidiary of Grange reached agreement with Gleneagle Gold Limited ("Gleneagle") on the terms of an option agreement and subsequent joint venture arrangement over the Wembley Gold Project. The Wembley Gold Project is located approximately 120 kilometres north north east of Meekatharra and comprises mining lease M52/801 and mining lease application MLA52/587. The Durack gold deposit of 557,000 tonnes grading $2.18g/t$ gold $(39,000$ contained ounces) is located within mining lease M52/801.

Gleneagle listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited on 28 July 2003. Gleneagle has also secured an option with Perilya Limited over the Fortnum Gold Project tenements and plant located approximately 60 km north west of the Wembley tenements.

During July 2003 Gleneagle exercised the option to farmin to the Wembley Project and the joint venture has now commenced. Under the terms of the joint venture arrangement Gleneagle can earn an 80% interest in the tenements by spending \$500,000 on exploration within 4 years with minimum expenditure levels of $$150,000$ during years 1 and 2 of the 4year earn in period. Gleneagle can elect to withdraw from the agreement after expenditure of \$150,000.

Horseshoe's 20% interest will be free carried to a decision to mine. Within 60 days after a decision to mine has been made by Gleneagle, Horseshoe can elect to contribute pro-rata to expenditure, sell its 20% interest or convert its 20% interest to a royalty of \$20.00 per recovered ounce for the first 40,000 ounces of production and a 3% gross revenue royalty on any production thereafter. Gleneagle has pre-emptive rights on Horseshoe's 20% interest.

Unless otherwise stated, technical information in this report on mining activities is based on, and accurately reflects, information compiled by Mr Alex Nutter, a full time employee of Grange Resources Limited who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists with more than 5 years experience in the field of activity in which he is reporting.

CORPORATE MATTERS

ON-MARKET SHARE BUY-BACK

On 5 June 2003 the Company completed an on-market share buy-back, conducted over a six month period. Pursuant to the on-market share buy-back, the Company bought back 7,361,691 shares for a total consideration of \$1,627,590.52, During the buy-back the lowest price paid was 18.34 cents and the highest price paid was 26.00 cents.

On 26 June 2003 the Company announced its intention to implement a further on-market share buy-back representing the continuation of a capital management program that commenced in June 2002. The implementation of the proposed share buy-back is subject to shareholder approval by ordinary resolution.

The principal terms of the proposed share buy-back are:

  • the buy-back of a maximum of 10% of the fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, representing 6,675,522 shares.
  • the buy-back being conducted over a six-month period commencing 1 August 2003.

A Notice of General Meeting dated 30 June 2003 was despatched to shareholders earlier this month, providing information to shareholders on the proposed share buy-back. The shareholder meeting is scheduled for 10.30 am (WST) on Thursday, 31 July 2003

CASH POSITION

During the June quarter, the Company's first shipment of copper concentrate from the Reward Deeps project was exported from Townsville. Mining operations at the Reward Deeps and Conviction underground mines continued throughout the June quarter. As a consequence of these activities the Company recorded a positive cash flow of \$1.41 million from operating activities. A cash flow deficit of \$0.435 million from financing activities was largely attributable to the on-market buy-back of shares during the quarter. The resulting cash balance at 30 June 2003 was \$3.77 million.

The Company expects settlement on a second shipment of copper concentrate from the Reward Deeps Project toward the end of August 2003. Following settlement on this second shipment of copper concentrate, the cash assets and receivables of the Company are forecast to be approximately \$7.73 million.
