Quarterly Overview

At the Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project, the bankable feasibility was boosted by further multiple high grade drill results that extended mineralisation down dip and along strike at the Marshall, Reward and Bellbird ore bodies. Results included the highest gold assays of up to 35 g/t gold ever recorded at Jervois.

In the Kyrgyz Republic, the Government established an InterDepartmental Commission to resolve the issues at the Andash Copper-Gold Project. The Commission is required to involve international independent experts to conduct an environmental audit of the project. In their report, the auditors found that the project fully complied with Kyrgyz and international environmental standards. The Company has started the process of communicating the findings to the local community, as part of progress towards achieving final approval of the project’s development.

Five items of mining equipment from the Andash mining fleet are being hired out to a construction contractor. The revenue from this is now covering all of the costs from the team in country while we wait for a go ahead at Andash. Discussions are taking place to hire out additional equipment items going forward..

Kentor Gold Limited (“Kentor Gold” or “the Company”) entered the ranks of Australian gold producers during the quarter.

Shortly after first gold from the Murchison Gold Project was poured, the Company announced a revised five year mine plan to increase production and reduce costs following successful exploration drilling. Average production is now scheduled at 30,700 ounces gold per year at an average cash cost of $1075 per ounce.

The September quarter at the Murchison Gold Mine was a commissioning quarter, we now have a fully staffed and operational gold mine. The focus now shifts to building the production and reducing costs.

Australia

Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project, NT (Kentor Gold 100%)

The Company announced multiple high-grade drill results from the 2012 drilling programme at Jervois. The program comprised 5,000m of diamond drilling and 9,000m of RC drilling, undertaken as part of a bankable feasibility study being conducted into the early development of Jervois. A preliminary scoping study completed prior to the 2012 drilling program found that Jervois would produce strong financial returns.

The drill results extend the mineralisation across and along strike at three of the known ore bodies at Jervois. They also include the highest gold assays ever recorded at Jervois of up to 35 g/t gold.

Following high grade, near surface copper-silver-gold results at the adjoining Reward and Marshall deposits in June, the Company announced in August a new shallow, high grade copper-silver-gold zone immediately west of Marshall interpreted as a northern extension of the Green Parrot prospect 500m to the south along strike.

The discovery of parallel ore zones is very significant because this is likely to significantly enhance the economics of mining an open pit due to the reduction in the stripping ratio.

The Company also announced the intersection of significant copper-silver-gold in deep drilling at the northern end of Reward that remains open at depth and along strike. The two deepest intersections returning 4.8% copper and 4.9% copper with high grades of silver and gold.

During the quarter, the Company announced high grade drill results for the Bellbird deposit 6km south of Reward/Marshall. The results were significant in extending the strike length of Bellbird to approximately 900m. Shallow mineralisation continued to be intersected up to 500m north of the existing Resource at Bellbird and remains open to the north. The mineralisation throughout the extended Bellbird deposit differs from that at Bellbird North where high lead and zinc grades have previously been intersected.

This extension at Bellbird was intersected with shallow RC drilling hence the mineralisation is likely to be economically mined by open pit methods.

Several previously unknown and unexplored copper-gold zones were also identified to the south-east during the quarter. Named the Chubko Prospect, the new zones lie outside the current Resource area. Collaborative work by the Northern Territory Geological Survey and the CSIRO-led Centre of Excellence for 3D Mineral Mapping prompted Kentor Gold to undertake surveys that identified the new zones. There is no recorded historical exploration in the area. In preliminary field work, extremely high gold grades of 50 to 56 g/t gold were identified using a handheld XRF tool on outcropping mineralisation. A comprehensive sampling and mapping program has commenced and is expected to direct a drilling program planned for early next year.

With assaying of the 2012 drilling program completed during the quarter, the following significant results are presented:

Murchison Gold Mine, WA (Kentor Gold 100%)

Initial Production: Milling of ore began during the first week of July, and gold production commenced with the first gold pour in early August. By mid-October, approximately 1,350 ounces of gold had been shipped from the plant and 1,160 ounces of gold added to the gold in circuit. While lower than forecast grades were achieved from historical ore stockpiles, processing costs and mill availability were on budget during August and September.

Mining costs in the initial phase of the Lewis and Reward pits have been higher than forecast, principally due to the earlier than planned interception of primary rock, resulting in higher drill and blast costs.

Delays in the availability and supply of explosives suitable for wet blasting also led to reduced mining rates and higher fixed costs. An explosives storage facility has now been established on-site and a longer term explosives supply contract is being negotiated. The current mining contractor finishes at site at the end of October and a new mining contractor will commence at site in November. The new contract is structured as a variable rate contract which will result in a lower cost of mining.

Production and net cash flow from the operation to date has been lower than planned in the initial months as a result of lower grades from historical stockpiles and higher initial mining costs. The open pit mining to date has been slower than planned resulting in the need to feed ore from low grade stockpiles to the plant. This will improve going forward as the majority of the waste from the Lewis pit has been mined and the stripping ratio reduces.

As anticipated the grade is improving with depth and mining will be moving into higher grade ore in the next few weeks. Murchison’s working capital requirements have been funded by the recent equity issue and necessary adjustments to expenditure. Any further expenditure requirements are currently expected to be met by production cash flow, expenditure adjustments and/or an additional corporate working capital facility.

During the quarter, the NOA 2 pit has been pumped out and the NOA 2 underground mine dewatered to a depth of approximately 50m below the portal (Figure 1). The ground conditions in the decline have been found to be in good condition. Underground mining of High grade ore is due to commence in November.

==> picture [460 x 317] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. NOA 2 Portal

The grade of the ore feed to the CIL plant will increase as high grade ore from underground is blended with the lower grade ore from the open pits. The quarterly production schedule for the remainder of 2012 and 2013 is shown in Table 1 below:

Table 1: Quarterly Production Schedule

==> picture [460 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

Increase in Resources : In October, mineral resources at Murchison were increased with the release of updated resources for the NOA 7/8 deposit. The NOA7/8 deposit increased in both size and grade and the ore body remains open at depth.

A scoping study was completed for the NOA 7/8 deposit showing that the ore body is suitable for mining using long hole open stoping similar to the methods employed at the NOA 2 underground mine (Figure 1).

Increased Production and Reduced Costs: In October, the Company announced a revised five year plan under which production will be increased and costs will be reduced at the Murchison operation.

The new five year plan includes an increase in forecast average annual gold production from 24,000 to 30,700 ounces per year, a reduction in average cash costs of production from $1,223 to $1,075 per ounce of gold and strong cash flow at a range of gold prices. The forecast performance improvements follow completion of pit optimisation and design work and the revised mining schedule.

Figure 1: Pit scheduling in the Five Year Plan (insert from announcement of 19 Oct)

Figure 3: Five Year Production Schedule

==> picture [418 x 158] intentionally omitted <==

The key change in the schedule is the incorporation of the high grade primary ore identified at NOA 7/8 which will be sourced from underground, and the incorporation of open pit mining at the Alliance pit. A scoping study at NOA 7/8 generated a Probable Ore Reserve of 310,487 tonnes at 4.36 g/t gold for 43,560 oz gold (detailed in ASX announcement 19 October 2012). The underground mine at NOA 7/8

will provide a longer term source of high grade ore which increase the planned feed grade of ore to the plant to 4 g/t gold, thereby lowering cast costs.

While initial mining at Murchison is being undertaken at pits on the Burnakura site where the processing plant is located, ore from the nearby Gabanintha site is scheduled in the Murchison five year plan. Results of drilling at Gabanintha during the quarter indicated significant mineralisation in targeted areas. An initial RC drilling program intersected good grades and a new zone of mineralisation adjacent to the Yagahong North deposit. A best assay of 2m @ 32.15 g/t gold and 1.6% copper from 73m was recorded (detailed in ASX announcement 27 July 2012).

The addition of a heap leaching circuit and an expansion of the CIL circuit remain as expansion options to the five year plan. Drilling to upgrade the resources suitable for heap leaching is expected to be completed in the March 2013 quarter.

October Performance : Throughput issues stemming mainly from poor blasting performance have persisted in October. To date, gold production for the month has been below plan. As a result ,cash costs for the month have also exceeded plan. The focus remains on improving performance by consolidating the project improvements listed above.

Kyrgyz Republic

Andash Gold-Copper Project (Kentor Gold 80%)

During the quarter, the Kyrgyz Government established an Inter-Departmental commission to resolve the issue of expediency of development of the Andash Project. The Commission was formed by the order of the Minister for Economic and Antitrust Policy on instructions from the Head of the Government Office, the Minister required the Commission to involve independent international experts to conduct an environmental audit. A leading Russian environmental auditing company, EMAS, conducted the audit and presented the results to the Commission and the general public.

The report concluded that the design of the Andash project is in full compliance with all applicable legislation and Kyrgyz and international standards.

The report made several recommendations all of which the Company plans to adopt. The Company has begun the process of communicating the findings to the local community in a coordinated manner in conjunction with local and government officials.

Five items of mining equipment from the Andash mining fleet are being hired out to a construction contractor. The revenue from this is now covering all of the costs from the Kyrgyz workforce. Discussions are taking place to hire out additional equipment items going forward.

Despite delays experienced in the approval process, these are positive steps towards the development of Andash. Andash is a very low cost project planned to produce 70,000 oz gold and 7,400 tonnes copper a year for an initial six years. Andash has a JORC Ore Reserve of 539,730 oz gold and 63,486 tonnes copper, and Resource of 19.2 million tonnes @ 1.1 g/t gold and 0.4% copper for 679,023 oz gold and 77,300 tonnes copper.

Bashkol Exploration Licence (Kentor Gold 80%)

Extension of the term of the Bashkol Exploration Licence for 5 years was delayed for some months due to reorganisation of the State Agency for Geology and Mineral Resources. Confirmation of the extension was received during the Quarter. As a result, in a shorter field season work was restricted to trenching and channel sampling at Bashkol and reconnaissance over the length of the licence area. Assay results are expected during the fourth Quarter.

Corporate

In July and August 2012, the Company raised $20.5 million before costs in equity through a combination of rights and equity placement. The Company’s major shareholder, KMP Investments, strongly supported the capital raising, participating in the placement and providing $5 million in

31 October 2012

==> picture [41 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

underwriting for the rights issue. As a result, KMP increased its holding in the Company from 14.67% to 27.3% or 38,260,794 shares.

Outlook

The Company plans to continue ramping up gold production at Murchison into 2013 and reducing cash costs.

The Resource estimates for the Alliance pit at the Murchison gold project and Jervois are expected to be increased shortly following the completion of drilling programs.

Metallurgical test work has commenced on the PQ diamond core drilled at Jervois as part of the feasibility study. Previous metallurgical test work during the scoping study produced 25% copper concentrate @ 93% recovery.

In the Kyrgyz Republic, the Company will communicate the results of the environmental audit on the Andash Project to the local community and work cooperatively with the Inter-Departmental Commission on Andash, with the objective of achieving final approval and development.
