PLANNED JUNE QUARTER DEVELOPMENT & EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Hawsons Iron Project Development
The joint venture, under Carpentaria management, will continue to increase certainty of the projects infrastructure components building on the recent port agreement.
A prefeasibility study on the rail-port-marine solution at Port Pirie in conjunction with Flinders Ports will commence.
Carpentaria will initiate studies by Transgrid to provide certainty of power connection costs and timeframes.
Discussions with potential off-take partners will continue, taking advantage of our high grade, premium product.
Work will progress on the environmental impact statement including discussions with government on securing a process water allocation for the project.
Exploration
Following compilation of the very positive results from Advene and Barellan received this quarter Carpentaria will complete a review of the exploration assets and consider options to provide shareholders with best value from these assets.
The results received this quarter demonstrate the prospectivity of the Company’s intrusion related gold (IRGS) based Central Lachlan tenement package. Carpentaria was an early mover in IRGS exploration in central NSW and has built a very promising portfolio.
REVIEW OF MARCH QUARTER ACTIVITIES
CORPORATE
In a strategic shift the Company announced on 3 July 2014 that it will focus its resources on the development of its flagship asset, the Hawsons Iron Project (60% owned by Carpentaria in joint venture with Pure Metals PtyLtd.)
The decision marks the evolution of the Company from explorer to developer and the Company’s belief in the great value to be unlocked in Hawsons. The company aims for Hawsons to be the cornerstone of a long lasting, low cost, premium iron business.
The decision will release a $1.2 million per year exploration expenditure commitment and has also prompted a company restructure that includes a targeted 50% administration cost reduction this financial year.
The Company has received $1.0 million subsequent to the end of the quarter from the Research and Development Tax Incentive scheme and has a cash balance at 31 July 2014 of $4.7 million following payment of various restructure costs putting the company on a firm financial footing.
The Company will continue to progress Hawsons by increasing certainty around infrastructure, product market and permitting to provide a solid foundation for additional investment. In addition, the Company will seek to realise value for shareholders from its exploration assets.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Dr Neil Williams was elected by the Carpentaria Board as its Chairman. Dr Williams joined the Board in 2012. He has had leadership roles in the resources industry and government, most recently as CEO of Geoscience Australia for 15 years, Australian governments peak geoscience body.
Dr Williams appointment followed the retirement of founding Chairman Nick Sheard in early July.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Hawsons Iron Project JV (CAP 60%, Pure Metals P/L 40%)
Infrastructure – Port access secured with Flinders Ports at Port Pirie
The joint venture (JV) secured port access for up to 12 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of iron ore concentrate through the existing berths at Port Pirie and was granted foundation customer status in a subsequent event to this quarter (ASX Announcement 22 July 2014) (Figure 1).
Flinders Ports and the JV have agreed to jointly fund a rail-port-marine study into the best option for exporting 10-20mtpa of iron ore to 180,000t vessels (Cape size) through Port Pirie. The joint study will increase engineering detail and certainty at the port to a level consistent with other aspects of the project and investigate rail unloading, transfer of concentrate to the port, likely by conveyor, and ship loading using barges.
==> picture [321 x 241] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1 Aerial view of Port Pirie
Under the agreement the Hawsons JV will have a first right of refusal for export of up to 12mtpa of iron ore concentrate through this port, conditional upon further study cooperation between the parties.
The agreement builds on an independent review earlier in the quarter by independent advisory Balance Resources which endorsed the Hawsons transport plan. Balance found the JV solution “contains no fatal flaws that will prevent the project moving its product to port, based on the information provided to date” and also considered the solution “efficient and viable” providing the lowest cost transport option.
The Balance findings were based on a transport solution comprising;
-
Construction of a dedicated slurry pipeline from the mine site to a location in Broken Hill;
-
De-watering of product, stockpiling at a location in Broken Hill;
-
Transfer of product onto rail, for transport via the existing Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) track to Port Pirie;
-
Unloading and stockpiling of product at the port;
-
Transfer of product onto barges, for transhipment offshore to Cape-size vessels.
3
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
The agreement with Flinders Ports and conclusions from Balance Resources support the joint venture’s claim that existing infrastructure is a key development advantage for Hawsons and that the technical and permitting pathway for development is clear and achievable.
The joint venture has established that all key infrastructure items have viable and/or existing solutions including:
-
the existing open access ARTC track from Broken Hill to Port Pirie can sustain transport of 10Mtpa of concentrate with minimal capital investment;
-
barging and transhipment from Port Pirie can be efficient and viable;
-
a power supply is available from the state power grid in NSW only 35km from the project;
-
a viable supply of saline water exists 90km from the project;
-
a skilled workforce is available in Broken Hill.
Carpentaria takes management and Pure Metals earns 40% of the project
On 20 June 2014 Carpentaria was reappointed manager of the Hawsons joint venture following a twelve month period under partner Pure Metals management.
In addition on 4 July 2014, Pure Metals earned its 40% share of the joint venture after meetings its expenditure commitment of $5 million to the project over the past twelve months.
The parties will now contribute pro-rata to the development or dilution applies under a standard formula. Carpentaria will maintain the same Project development leadership ensuring continuity of management and that a high level of expertise and experience is utilised.
Product Marketing
Recent sales of iron ore demonstrate there are increasing discounts for lower quality iron ores. Carpentaria believes, based on test work results, to be confirmed in pilot scale tests, that it will be able to produce a very high grade, ultra-low impurities product that will help steel mills achieve increased efficiency, lower pollution and improved quality steel.
Last quarter Carpentaria reported that Ferrum Consultants had concluded that the Hawsons product is potentially a very attractive input to steelmakers from a chemical perspective because of its high iron, low combined silica and alumina and “very little other deleterious content”. The product would have the ability to offset the “gradual quality decline evident in the ores of the major producers”.
The Company will continue it’s off-take discussions taking advantage of this high quality product and market conditions that indicate a higher demand for high quality products.
Water Supply and Environmental
During the quarter all seasonal flora and fauna surveys were completed at the mine site and proposed slurry and raw water pipeline corridors following a three year survey period that did not identify environmental factors that would impact materially on the project (Figure 2).

the completion of the environmental impact statement (EIS).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
The EIS is well advanced with cultural heritage surveys and consultation ongoing. In addition a number of low cost, short period, specialist studies need to be completed to allow the drafting of the EIS.
The EIS could be completed in approximately 6 months. Llodgement of the EIS for large capital projects, however, attracts a materially large lodgement fee from government and Carpentaria will seek to extend the time period available to lodge the EIS under the Director General Requirements to provide flexibility in lodgement timeframes. This is a common request in the development process.
About Hawsons Iron Project
The Hawsons Iron Project joint venture (Carpentaria 60%, Pure Metals P/L 40%) is currently undertaking a bankable feasibility study based on low cost, long term supply of a high grade, ultra-low impurity iron concentrate to a growing premium iron market.
The project has a technical and permitting pathway that is clear and achievable and is located 60km southwest of Broken Hill, an ideal position for mining operations with existing power, rail and port infrastructure available for a conceptual 10 Mtpa start-up operation. A mining lease application has also been lodged.
The Hawsons Iron Project’s soft rock is different from traditional hard rock magnetite and allows a very different approach from typical magnetite mining and processing challenges (both technical and cost-related). The soft rock enables simple liberation of a premium magnetite product without complex and expensive processing methods and the Company believes its targeted costs are very competitive and profitable at consensus long term price forecasts.
The project is underpinned by Inferred and Indicated Resources totalling 1.8 billion tonnes at 15% mass recovery for 263 million tonnes of concentrate grading at 69.7%Fe. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new data that materially affects this resource statement since the first public announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed since first reported (ASX Announcement 26 March 2014 and Table 1).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Central Lachlan Gold Project
Carpentaria was an early mover in exploring for intrusion related gold systems (IRGS) in the central Lachlan Fold Belt and has compiled a portfolio of tenements prospective for this style of mineralisation with results this quarter confirming its prospectivity with an ore grade intersection at Advene (Figure 3).
The Company is currently reviewing options to create value from this portfolio for shareholders.
EL 8095 Advene 100% CAP – Gold
New discovery drilled at Josephine Moulder
At Josephine Moulder drilling during the quarter has significantly upgraded the potential of the project with the highest grade intersections returned to date from the Josephine Moulder (JM) structure.
Highlight intersections include:
- 10m at 1.43g/tAu, 4.58g/t Ag from 45m in DD14AV001 (incl. 1m at 5.18g/t Au and 3.20 g/t Ag from 54m)
==> picture [213 x 304] intentionally omitted <==
- 10m at 0.85g/t Au and 2.14g/t Ag from 134m in DD14AV005
Figure 3. Central Lachlan location plan
- 1.9m at 1.01 g/t Au and 1.70 g/t Ag from 1m in DD14AV004
The Josephine Moulder mineralised structure is now confirmed by six drill intersections to be over 400m long, 10m wide (true width) and persistent to a depth greater than 150m down dip. The structure was intersected in the oxide zone (DD14AV001) and the fresh rock zone (DD14AV005) and found to be mineralised in both (Figures 4 and 5).
==> picture [291 x 205] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4 – Josephine Moulder cross section
The mineralisation is open in all directions. Observations identified the structure as a multi-phase sheeted quartz, siltstone fault breccia sheet striking north and dipping at 50 degrees to the east located on the contact of a silicified, likely carbonaceous, shale and quartzite unit. Mineralisation is associated with iron, zinc and lead sulfides (Photos).
The best intersection is similar in width but almost triple the grade encountered in the nearby, historical, open-hole percussion drillhole – AP2 – of 9m at 0.5 g/t Au. The current result casts doubt on the sampling accuracy of all five prior Aberfoyle holes that may have all underestimated gold grades, not uncommon in this type of drilling.
6
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
A total of 5 diamond drill holes were completed for 634m. A full list of intersections greater than 0.1g/t Au is provided in Table 2 in the Appendix.
The drilling results include significant lead and zinc mineralisation in addition to gold and silver. The multiphase, polymetallic mineralisation is consistent with an intrusion related source and Carpentaria’s exploration model.

Photos: upper – fresh rock JM mineralisation in DD14AV005, lower - oxide zone JM mineralisation from DD14AV001
Regionally the results upgrade the prospectivity of the entire tenement including the 12km mineralised corridor between the JM discovery and the Avoca workings where a maximum rock chip result of 3.66 g/t Au was previously returned from a grab sample of historical workings (Figure 6).
At Advene the host sedimentary rocks are interpreted to form a mildly magnetic and potentially altered roof to an underlying buried granite intrusion, evident in regional aeromagnetic and gravity data as a discrete low amplitude feature. The geological setting is consistent with intrusion related gold system exploration model.

– EL 7896 Barellan (100% CAP) Gold, Antimony
Results of a ninety eight (98) sample auger soil survey and forty three (43) contour drain rock chip channel samples taken at the site of historically known gold anomalies were returned this quarter. The results were very positive confirming and extending historic mineralisation.

----- Start of picture text -----
Figure 7: Barellan auger soil gold anomaly
----- End of picture text -----
The survey, following up historical RAB drilling, defined a 200m x 30m plus 50 ppb bedrock gold (plus arsenic and antimony) anomaly open to the south east.
At the centre of this anomaly is a contour drain that returned 60m at 1.5g/t gold (including 10m at 4.5g/t gold) in historical work that was resampled where possible and returned 32m at 0.5g/t gold. However the entire channel was not able to be systematically sampled.
A maximum result of 1m at 8.8g/t gold in an area overlapping the historical high grade result was returned confirming the presence of high grade mineralisation.
The Barellan prospect contains hairline quartzsulfide vein stock work hosted by sediments, interpreted to be situated in the roof zone of a buried granite with potential for stock work, replacement or other structurally controlled intrusion related gold mineralisation.
EL 8189 Grong Grong (100% CAP) - Gold
Scout geological mapping was completed.
The Grong Grong licence contains known prospects and poorly explored, near surface regional geological potential for IRGS and orogenic sulfide fault replacement gold lodes.
The licence abuts the historically mined Ardlethan leases which cover what was the largest hard rock tin deposit in mainland Australia, with approximately 30,000t contained tin metal. IRGS deposits often have a spatial association with granite-hosted tin and tungsten mineralisation, further highlighting the prospectivity of the Grong Grong licence.
The larger than usual Harry Smith occurrence, located within the licence, has historically recorded shallow hard rock gold production of over 16,000oz to a reported depth of only 70m.
==> picture [263 x 182] intentionally omitted <==
Highlighted, previously reported historical intersections from the Harry Smith prospect are significant and include 21m @ 2.5 ppm Au (CG95-2) and on the same section 20m @ 2.2 ppm Au (CG9513) at the northern end of the north-northwest striking Golden Splay fault section of the prospect (Figure 7).
In addition to Harry Smith, both the Mallee Hen (several thousand ounces of historically recorded gold production) and the extensive Belmore line of north-

northwest striking small historical workings have not been fully investigated or drill tested in the past.
Braemar JV (CAP earning in) and South Dam (CAP 100%)
EL 5181, EL 4395
As a subsequent event on 14 July 2014 Carpentaria withdrew from the Braemar JV with no residual interest. The decision was based on a substantial ongoing expenditure commitment and the inability to negotiate favourable joint venture terms.
Under the agreement Carpentaria was required to define 200Mt of Inferred Resources by April 2015 incurring considerable cost.
Carpentaria remains 100% owner of the South Dam tenement (EL 4395) located at the southern end of the highly prospective magnetite-bearing Braemar Iron Formation, 200km north-east of Adelaide (Figures 8 and 9).

==> picture [256 x 192] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 10. Magnetic image showing the Braemar Iron Formation and CAP’s Braemar licences (CAP has withdrawn from EL5181)
The South Dam project contains an Exploration Target in the range of 580 to 960 million tonnes, with an estimated magnetite mass recovery (DTR) of 12 to 27% for between 70 million tonnes and 260 million tonnes of iron concentrate at 63-67% iron (ASX Announcement 29 November, 2013). The term "Target" should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources and Reserves as defined by the JORC Code (2012), 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.
Davis Tube analytical results and petrographic observations from the formation taken nearby to the tenement confirm that at the South Dam Project magnetite is finer grained than that at Hawsons and may require different and potentially higher cost processing than that proposed for Hawsons. However, relatively simple processing to produce a saleable concentrate from this project is still possible, and Carpentaria is currently investigating all processing options. Carpentaria intends to meet its exploration expenditure commitment and test the exploration target with additional drilling in the next two years.
The project is close to key existing transport infrastructure, being 45km south-west of the national rail line and highway and 150km east of Port Pirie in South Australia. In contrast to other South Australian Braemar Iron province projects, both of Carpentaria’s Braemar South licences are located upon perpetual leasehold land titles where Native Title has been extinguished.

| sandstone and shale, whilst the overlying Curawalla Shale contains | |||
| metamorphosed laminated black shale and mudstones. These rock types are | |||
| situated within the regional Yalgogrin Fault Zone and are consequently tightly | |||
| folded and faulted. The strata on the Goobothery Ridge are surrounded by plan | |||

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 EL 7896 Barellan Gold Project (Auger & rock chip channel sampling) report |
|---|---|
| Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data | |
| Criteria | Commentary |
| Sampling techniques. | * 98, vertical, less than 12m deep, 4 inch diameter powered auger hole obtained at refusal in weathered bedrock and/or C-horizon soil, – 25mm + 1.00mm sieved, chip samples, approximately 2 kg each, were collected on a 20m x 25m spaced grid at the global Barellan Prospect within EL 7896. |
| * 43 rock chip samples were collected by Carpentaria. Rock chips were collected along 1m and 2m channels approximately2 kg per sample |
|
| Drilling techniques. | * Geochemical weathered bedrock/ C-horizon geochemical survey was facilitated by shallow, near surface only, powered augur drilling as described above in Sampling techniques & was used entirely for the purposes of facilitating collection of single point grid based geochemical survey point samples,not samplingof bedrock mineralisation. |
| * Not relevant to rock chipchannel samples | |
| Drill sample recovery. | * Down the hole, subsurface bedrock samples were not taken, therefore recovery is not relevant. Point geochemical surveysamples only. |
| * Not relevant to rock chipchannel samples | |
| Logging. | * All powered augur geochemical survey weathered bedrock/ C-horizon soil samples were sample site characteristic and lithologically logged by the company’s geologist. All data was recorded manually in the field and then entered into computer software spread sheets for later importation into a digital database. |
| * All rock chip channel samples were logged by the company’s geologist with respect to lithology, mineralisation, sample site quality and sample quality. All data was recorded in excel spread sheets and imported in to an Access database. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation. |
* Auger samples were collected from bottom of hole (refusal) then sieved to a -25mm +1mm fraction which was despatched for multi-element geochemical analysis at a laboratory. A bulk representative library sample was also collected at each site. * Duplicates & replicates ofpowered auger samples were also collected for laboratoryanalysis. |
| * Rock chipchannel samples were confined to 2 kgsample | |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests. |
* All rock chip and powered augur samples, including duplicates & replicates, were analysed by ALS Chemex laboratories using methods Au-AA21, AA25 (fire assay DL 0.002, 0.005, 0.01 ppm) and ME-MS61. (Induced Couple Plasma Mass Spectometry). |
| Verification of sampling and assaying. |
* Powered augur samples Duplicates & replicates were used to verify analytical precision. Internal Laboratorystandards and duplicates were analysed and reported. |
| * No duplicate rock samples were submitted | |
| Location of data points. | * All rock chip sample & Powered augur sample sites were located using hand a held GPS; accuracy within 5 m. |
| Data spacing and distribution. | * Powered augur sample sites were located upon a nominal but locallyvariable 25 m x 20mgrid. |
| * Rock chipchannel samples were collected continuouslyacross strike. | |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure. |
* The powered augur geochemical survey sample sites were sited on a grid with lines oriented orthogonal to the enveloping geological strike determined from surface mapping. |
| * Rock chips were collected continuously across strike to test Au concentrations in different lithologies. | |
| Sample security | * Robust in the field dual independent manual entry sample number recording is used. All samples are despatched in numbered bags into which a separate matching, one time only use, ticket is also inserted. Independently recorded bag numbers, geological logs and ticket book records are routinely checked to ensure they match. * Individual samples are collected in tight weave, string tied, metal inert calico bags placed in polyweave transport bags in lots of ten to twenty marked with the relevant sample number range. Laboratory sample description and instructions are despatched with every sample lot which is transported overland bytruck to the laboratorylocated approximatelythree hours drive distant. |
| Audits or reviews. | _* _Results were internally scrutinised and nothing effecting the materiality the results were identified |

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
| Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results | |
| Criteria | Commentary |
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status. |
_* _Exploration licence EL7896 is 100% owned by Carpentaria Exploration Ltd. The licence is located approximately 50km East of Griffith in central NSW. The licence is in good standing with no known impediments over the area of sampling. |
| Exploration done by other parties. | 1985 Aberfoyle Exploration Ltd completed rock chip sampling, RAB drilling and three RC hole. Significant results for rock chip 2.5 g/t gold and 1.0 % antimony; RC 12 metres at 0.43 g/t gold and 88 ppm antinomy. _1990 CRA Exploration Ltd completed field review and rock chip sampling. No significant results * _1996 Zintoba P/L & Bolinisi Gold completed rock chip sampling and 550 soil samples. No significant results |
| Geology. | The EL lies within the bounds of the Narrandera 250k Map sheet within the central zone of the Early to Middle Paleozoic Lachlan Fold Belt within the Wagga-Omeo Structural Belt. Outcropping parts of the EL7896 are dominated by a flysch sequence of quartzite, slate, schist, phyllite, siltstone, sandstone and fine conglomerate informally known as the Wagga Metamorphics. This Ordovician unit is generally tightly folded and locally sheared and appears to have a broadly synformal relationship with younger, less intensely folded coarse clastics of the Barrat conglomerate and Square Head Beds (Late Devonian age). Quaternary alluvium with aeolian sandy soil cover at the surface dominates the northern half and SE part of the EL. Extensive deposits of clay, sand and gravel, probably of Tertiary age, occur beneath the silted-up present drainage system (Rangott, 1993b). There is a mapped area of mid- to late Silurian Ardlethan Granite in the eastern part of the licence and extensive exposures of similar-aged Grong Grong granite within Wagga Metamorphics that host the Harry Smith group of Au prospects to the southeast. |
| Drill hole Information | _* _Down the hole, subsurface bedrock samples were not taken. The auger sampling is part of a surface geochemical survey & not to sample/test bedrock mineralisation, therefore only auger site locations and sample results are relevant drill hole information. These data are tabled in Appendix 1. |
| * Not relevantfor rock chip samples | |
| Data aggregation methods. | * Not relevant - There was no data aggregation of auger samples |
| * Not relevantfor rock chip samples | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths. |
_* _Rock chip channel samples were collected continuously across strike with the bedding dipping vertical to sub-vertical therefore intercept intervals are assumed to be true widths. |
| Diagrams. | * Noneprovided – refer table in Appendix 1 for location of auger sites,and relevant results |
| * None provided – refer table in Appendix 1 for location of rock chip channel sites, and relevant results |
|
| Balanced reporting. | * All auger and rock chip results for the survey have been reported – refer Tables in Appendix 1 |
| Other substantive exploration data. | _* _All substantive exploration data has been reported in this, or previous, ASX announcements |
| Further work. | _* _Further data analysis is planned with respect to the regional and local geology. |
