ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

PLANNED DECEMBER QUARTER EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Hawsons Iron Project

Carpentaria (CAP) and Pure Metals (PM) continuing exploration and feasibility studies under the Hawsons Joint Venture agreement (JV) as per previously reported work program arrangements.

Application for a mining lease was near completion at the end of the September quarter and, as a subsequent October event, has been completed and reported to the ASX (18[th] of October 2013).

Completion of a detailed study on a reduced capital, 10Mtpa, and concentrate production option is expected this quarter.

The JV program will continue to undertake and progress environmental base line and other compliance studies required for the bankable feasibility study. Implementation of a ground-water drilling program to investigate the feasibility and characteristics of known saline aquifers in the vicinity of the project to supply water requirements for proposed mining at the Hawsons resource is scheduled for commencement during the December quarter.

Braemar JV/South Dam

Completion of independent estimation of a magnetite exploration target.

Advene and Central Lachlan Gold Project

At Advene work will involve both i) detailed geological mapping and surface geochemical sampling in the Josephine Moulder Prospect area and ii) regional geological mapping and geochemical surveying along the little explored Goobothery Ridge. The objective is to define the potential for drill targets in the Josephine Moulder area and other regional prospects within the licence meriting further detailed exploration.

At Barellan further reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling is planned.

Subject to processing and grant, landholder access agreement negotiation will commence as a prelude to undertaking reconnaissance field observations at the Grong Grong exploration licence application.

Broken Hill Tin/Tungsten/Base Metals Project

Completion of preliminary mining potential scoping study.

Temora Gold/Copper Project

Pending setting of a date and location, an access arbitration hearing between NSW Department of Trade and Investment Crown Lands (DTICL) and Carpentaria is anticipated to be undertaken during the quarter.

CORPORATE

On 1[st] of September, the founding Executive Chairman of Carpentaria Exploration, Mr Nick Sheard retired from this role to take up the position of Non-Executive Chairman. Mr Quentin Hill was appointed as Managing Director. All details of this management restructure were published in ASX announcement on the 27[th] of July 2013.

MINING & EXPLORATION TENEMENT

During the quarter, one 419 km[2 ] mineral exploration tenement application was made in NSW (Grong Grong).

A Mining Lease Application for the Hawsons Iron project was near completion at the end of quarter and was subsequently made in early October (see ASX Announcement on 18[th] of October 2013). A schedule listing all mining and exploration tenements held by Carpentaria at the end of the quarter and its status is attached.

EXPLORATION UPDATE

Hawsons Iron Project JV

On 4[th] of May 2013 the Hawsons Joint Venture (JV) between Carpentaria and Pure Metals (PM) was finalised and PM has since completed its acquisition of a 40% share in the Hawsons Iron Project Joint Venture following assignment from the liquidator in late May 2013.

This quarter, following a delay and addition of an extra $100,000, Pure Metals completed its outstanding cash payments to Carpentaria under the new joint venture agreement by paying Carpentaria $2.9m cash on the 30th of September, 2013.

Pure Metals elected to take management and has been sole funding the project since May 2013, where funding and completion of a $5 million work program by May 2014 is required to maintain its 40% interest.

==> picture [205 x 202] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. Location of Hawsons Iron Project and Braemar Project (EL4395 and EL5181)

The JV work program is designed to complete critical paths for a bankable feasibility study and include:

  • investigative drilling of the proposed saline project water supply aquifer to confirm flow rates and water quality;

  • expanding the scope of local region stakeholder consultation;

  • continuing detailed base line studies and investigations required for an environmental impact statement (EIS) including consideration of water and transport corridors to service any future mining lease;

  • design and completion of a mining lease application; and

  • investigation of a conceptual 10 million tonne per annum (Mtpa) magnetite concentrate production scenario utilising existing infrastructure and requiring significantly reduced capital.

Activity

Approvals and design of the investigative drilling program of the proposed saline groundwater supply aquifer for the Hawsons Project has been completed. Drilling contract tenders for the drilling program were sought and are under review, the contract will be let soon and the drilling is scheduled to be undertaken during the next quarter.

Landholders at the potential aquifer investigative drilling sites and at other locations along possible power, road and pipeline service corridors to any future mining lease were contacted and consulted about the project and current access requirements to undertake feasibility data collection.

Mine, plant, service corridor (power, pipelines) and rail-head engineering design and analysis progressed during the quarter. Environmental base line data collection and other investigations, as part of future Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) production also continued.

A mining lease application, utilising outcomes of the above engineering design, environmental work and other geological information, was drafted in the required format during the quarter for submission to NSW Department of Trade and Investment Mineral Resources. The application was subsequently submitted on the 18[th] of October as discussed above.

About Hawsons

The Hawsons Iron Project is located 60 km southwest of Broken Hill (Figure 1) and includes: i) an Inferred magnetite Resource of 1.4Bt at a Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) of 15.5% (12% cut off) containing 220 million tonnes of high grade (69.9% Fe) concentrate and ii) an exploration target[1] of 6 to 11Bt at 14 to 17% DTR . The results of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) were updated following a mining optimisation study and were accepted to release to the ASX on 21[st] of November 2011.

1 The term "Target" should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources and Reserves as defined by the JORC Code (2004), and therefore the terms have not been used in this context. It is uncertain if further exploration or feasibility study will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Mining Reserve

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

The project is exceptionally well located, with existing power, water, rail and port infrastructure available for a conceptual 5 to 10 Mtpa start–up operation.

Braemar JV (CAP earning in) and South Dam (CAP 100%)

EL 5181, EL 4395

Braemar, EL 5181, is located over the southern end of the highly magnetite prospective Braemar Iron Formation which hosts Carpentaria’s flagship Hawsons Iron Project in NSW (Figure 2). The Braemar Joint Venture (JV) tenement and the contiguous South Dam licence, EL 4395 covers over 32 kms strike of magnetic Braemar Iron Formation.

==> picture [256 x 178] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2. Magnetic image showing the Braemar Iron Formation and CAP’s tenements

Petrographic observation confirms that the magnetite at Braemar is finer-grained than that at Hawsons and, subject to future detailed testing, may require different and potentially higher cost processing than that proposed for Hawsons. Regardless, relatively simple processing to produce a saleable concentrate from the Braemar and South Dam Projects is still considered likely.

Under the terms of the Braemar JV, CAP has until April 2015 to earn 60% of the project by defining an inferred resource of 200 Mt and making a cash payment of $100,000.

At South Dam (EL 4395), geophysical modelling has been completed of a high-amplitude linear magnetic anomaly striking for six (6) km which

indicates potential for magnetite mineralised Braemar Iron Formation thicknesses of 160 to 230 with very deep sub-vertical dip extents. The results of the geophysical modelling surface geology and available sub-surface data (drilling) have been forwarded to independent consultants to undertake estimation of an exploration target during the next quarter.

Central Lachlan Gold Project

ELs 7896, 8095 & ELA 4867 (Grong Grong)

During the quarter a new NSW exploration licence application, ‘Grong Grong’ comprising an area of approximately 419 km2, was made at a location 240 km north west of Canberra (Figure 3). The Grong Grong application adjoins the southern boundary of CAP’s Barellan licence (EL 7896) and subject to grant, the two ELs would comprise a combined contiguous area of 702 km2 of deformed Ordovician mud-rocks intruded by SiluroDevonian granite plutons interpreted to be prospective for intrusion related gold systems (IRGS). Further details of geology, mineral occurrences and exploration objectives at Grong Grong will be presented subject to grant by the NSW Department of Trade and Investment – Mineral Resources.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Advene 100% CAP – Gold

EL 8095

Advene is located approximately 320km north west of Canberra (Figure 3).

During the quarter, the first field reconnaissance including collection and multi-element geochemical analyses of 59 rock and 53 soil samples was completed. Locations and results for this group of samples were detailed in an ASX announcement lodged on the 14[th] of October 2013.

The multiple rock chip channel samples taken from the known Josephine Moulder (JM) lode structure returned up to 12.4 g/t gold and 29.4 g/t silver. Rock chips from newly recognised parallel zones to the JM lode and workings also returned up to 1.61g/t gold (Figure 5). The rock chip results at the JM prospect and surrounds have extended the strike of the known gold mineralisation from 500m to over 2000m, with the mineralisation at JM and parallel lode zones open in all directions (Figures 4 & 5).

Goobotherry Ridge
----- End of picture text -----

Figure 4. Josephine Moulder (JM) prospect – summary plan with CAP rock chips (orange> 1g/t Au , yellow > 0.1g/t Au)

Three regional reconnaissance soil survey lines, containing 53 samples, also returned anomalous gold concentrations up to 18 ppb situated at distances of 2km further extending the areas with gold well to the east of the known JM lode system (Figure 4).

The Advene EL is interpreted to be prospective for IRGS and contains number of known gold occurrences located on the southern end of the Goobothery Ridge, which includes the Josephine Moulder prospect (Figure 5).

The known gold occurrences display sulfide mineralised vein and breccia sheets developed along significant north-south fault zones.

==> picture [253 x 239] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5. Advene project plan, showing historic sample sites, CAP rock chip channel & soil sampling

The Goobothery Ridge is largely unexplored and consists of relatively well exposed, deformed and contact metamorphosed Ordovician mud-rocks that form a north-south trending, scrubby, ridge that runs for approximately 20 km in length south of the Lachlan River (Figure 4). The ridge is a focus of current surface geochemical surveying.

These Ordovician mud-rocks are interpreted to form a mildly magnetic and potentially altered skin or roof to an underling Siluro-Devonian granite intrusion, evident in regional aeromagnetic and gravity data as a discrete and homogeneously low amplitude feature consistent with intrusion related gold system exploration model. The granite is mapped as outcropping nearby.

Further detailed geological mapping, rock, soil and stream sediment sampling of the largely unexplored Goobothery Ridge will continue during the next quarter.

stock-work, replacement or other structurally (fault, shear) controlled intrusion related gold mineralisation. Historical results at the Barellan prospect include 60m at 1.5g/t Au including 10m at 4.5g/t Au in a surface trench and 12m at 0.43g/t Au in drilling.

During the quarter, a total of fourteen (14) reconnaissance grab rock samples were taken from ironstone exposures identified in aerial photography and the spoil of a small unrecorded shaft. These samples were located over 1000m south and east from the Barellan prospect area. Locations of the samples are shown in Figure 6 and results were disappointing with no anomalous base or precious metal concentrations being returned.

Further reconnaissance geological and rock geochemical sampling work is planned during the next quarter.

– Temora Project (100% CAP) Gold, Copper

ELs 6901, 7375 & 7680

This 510 km[2] project is located within the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW approximately 80 km north of Wagga Wagga (Figure 3).

Carpentaria has attempted to reach an access agreement with the NSW Department of Trade and Investment Crown Lands (DTICL), which administers the land. During the quarter, following a lack of response under the statutory process from the DTICL, Carpentaria applied to the Director General under section 144 of the Mines Act 1992 for appointment of an arbitrator to hear the matter of obtaining access to explore at the Mother Shipton Gold Prospect.

==> picture [176 x 226] intentionally omitted <==

The application was successful and an arbitrator has been appointed to hear the access matter and in due course make a determination. There are no prescribed timeframes but it is expected that the arbitration hearing will be scheduled before the end of 2013. Further activity at the Mother Shipton Prospect will be subject to the outcome of the arbitration proceedings.

Tooloom 100% CAP – Gold

EL 8082

The Tooloom ELA was granted during the quarter as EL 8082. It is located in the New England Fold Belt (NEFB) 50km north east of Tenterfield. The licence covers 130 mineral occurrences, of which nearly 100 are gold (Figure 7). The NEFB regionally contains mineralisation associated with Permo-Triassic age intrusions.

Figure 7. Location of EL 8082

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

During the quarter, landholders located at known mineral occurrences slated for reconnaissance work in the north of the EL were contacted and negotiations for written access arrangement drafting commenced.

Completion of land access arrangements and initial field reconnaissance is anticipated to occur during the next quarter.

Broken Hill Tin and Tungsten/Base Metal Project (100% CAP)

ELs 6936, 7829, 7921, 7957

The Broken Hill Tin-Tungsten Project contains the Yanco Glen Prospect, which has an Inferred Resource of 3.4 Mt @ 0.11% WO3 (at 0.05% WO3 cut-off) containing 3,950 t WO3 (refer ASX announcement 18[th] of October 2012). It is located 30km north of Broken Hill (Figure 3).

==> picture [199 x 293] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8. Location plan of the Broken Hill Tin and Tungsten/Base Metal project

During the quarter, petrographic observations of gravity concentrate samples derived from test work completed on Yanco Glen reverse-circulation (RC) drill-chips were returned. The observations indicate that gravity processing of the drill chips failed to concentrate the scheelite, despite being one of the coarser and highest specific gravity minerals in the feed. The reasons for the failure are unknown but the drill-chips, despite being within nominal technical specifications, in practice could have been too fine-grained for the gravity processing method used.

The observations demonstrate that further test work on the scheelite mineralisation, using uncrushed rock or drill core samples, will be required in future to ascertain optimal processing methods. Suitable bulk uncrushed rock samples, as reported in the previous quarter, have been obtained and carefully stored for this potential future work.

The mining scoping study has progressed during the quarter and its completion and conclusions are expected to be reported during the next quarter.

Carpentaria’s strategic objective is to establish a cluster of easy to process near surface tin and/or tungsten resources close to Broken Hill with the potential to be mined at low-cost and treated by a single, centrally located plant.

The tenements in this project are also prospective for Broken Hill style and other types of base and precious metal mineralisation, and a low intensity investigation of this potential is on-going.

– Koonenberry (100% CAP) Nickel, Platinum Group Elements ELs 7735, 7736, 7737, 7738, 7739 & 7740

This project is located approximately 120km north of Broken Hill (Figure 9). Following a review of all historical exploration and Carpentaria’s exploration results during the first two year tenure of the Koonenberry Project, a major (75%) tenement reduction was completed in the previous quarter. A number of prospects have been retained for further investigation including Wyuna Tank where Carpentaria intersected anomalous nickel and
