Quarterly Overview

During the quarter, Kentor G o ld Limited ( “Kentor Gold” or “the Compa n y”) increased copper- s ilver Reso u rces signifi c antly and moved towards th e commenc e ment of g o ld producti o n in mid2012.

Plans w ere close to confirm a tion for a mid-2012 s tart-up at Burnak u ra, WA, the first and cu r rently the s m allest in Kentor Gold’s pipeline of three projects pres e ntly targete d for produ c tion. The feasibili t y study is nearing co m pletion and work on re-starting existing plant pro g ressed. A t the sam e time, exploration to increas e Resource s at both Burnakura and t he nearby G abanintha Gold-C o pper Project has comm e nced. Progre s sive result s of the sc o ping stud y at Jervois lifted the copper- s ilver-gold p roject to a n ew scale of potential d e velopment with a 3 3% increas e in the cop p er Resourc e to 150,50 0 tonnes, a 27% in c rease in the silver Reso u rce to 9.66 million oun c es, and an additio n al explorati o n target of 50,000 to 100,000 ton n es copper quantifi e d. Signific a nt gold ass a ys have b e en recorde d and more explora t ion work is required to d etermine a gold Resource. Initial

The potential q uantity and gr a de of the Expl o ration Potential is conceptual in nature and t h ere has been i n sufficient exploration to d efine a Mineral Resource. It i s uncertain if fu r ther exploratio n will result in t h e determinatio n of a Mineral Resou r* ce.

metallurgical test work achieved a high 94% copper recovery in a concentrate with a 26% copper grade. In the Kyrgyz Republic, progress was made towards obtaining the outstanding local approval for Andash, one of the world’s lowest cost gold-copper projects, with the decision by the local village to hold a formal meeting to consider granting a social licence.

Australia

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

Inferred Resource increased to 11.9 million tonnes @ 1.3% copper and 25.2 g/t silver for a total of 150,500 tonnes copper and 9.66 million oz silver. Resource includes 1 million tonnes @ 2.6% lead, 2.2% zinc and 73 g/t silver contained within the copper mineralisation at Green Parrot and Bellbird North deposits.

Progressive results from the scoping study being undertaken into the development of an open pit multimetal mine at Jervois lifted the project further in both scale and quality.

The updated Resource estimate, reported above, was announced on 13 January 2012 and constitutes a 33% increase in copper and 27% increase in silver based on a cut-off grade of 0.5% copper.

The substantial increase in the Resource estimate followed a drilling campaign at the Reward and Bellbird prospects completed at Jervois during the quarter, and represented great value for money from the drilling. The results have lifted Jervois to a new scale of potential development, with the initial development potential being enhanced by the Resource being concentrated at one deposit, Reward.

The updated Resource estimate has taken into account only the recent drilling results at the Reward and Bellbird deposits. The total Resource at the Jervois Project also includes the deposits at Bellbird North and Green Parrot where drilling reported last October produced individual assays of over 8% copper and 20% lead.

The Reward and Bellbird deposits are open beyond the Resource blocks at depth and along strike from the deposits, based on interpretation of a recently completed detailed conductivity survey, providing the expectation of continued exploration success.

Therefore, looking forward, Hellman & Schofield, who provided the updated Resource estimate, also reported that Exploration Potential for the Reward and Bellbird deposits in areas adjoining the current Inferred Resource consists of 5 – 10 Mt @ 0.75 to 1.25% copper and 10 to 25 g/t silver at a 0.5% copper cut off (for 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes copper and 3 to 5 Moz silver).

*The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Potential is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Significant gold assays have been recorded in the drilling at Reward. The gold grades appear to be increasing with depth, the deeper high grade copper zone at Reward showing consistently high gold grades. Only approximately 20% of the historical drilling has been assayed for gold, but with the additional drilling planned for this year it is anticipated that gold will soon be included in future Resource upgrades.

Preliminary results from metallurgical testing were announced during the quarter. Several batch tests were undertaken on drill core composite material from hole RJ169 (72m @ 3.27% copper, 0.25% lead, 0.11% zinc, 51.33 g/t silver and 1.16 g/t gold from 414m). This achieved a best overall response from initial testing indicating the production of a concentrate with a grade of 26% copper at 94% recovery. The high concentrate grades and good recoveries were achieved at a relatively coarse grind size of P80 90 micron. Further testing will determine whether economies can be achieved through even coarser grinding and reduced lime consumption.

Auralia Mining Consulting have been engaged to run pit optimisations and schedules on each Resource deposit at Jervois. When completed, mining costs and underground inventory will be estimated to enable a mining schedule to be produced.

Knight Piesold have been engaged to conduct the geotechnical and water management assessment for the project.

Lycopodium have been given responsibility for definition of the engineering design, including the process flow diagram, the major equipment list, site infrastructure requirements and plant layout.

The results of the scoping study will be available in April, and it is anticipated that this will lead to a full feasibility study on the project this year.

Burnakura Gold Project, WA (Kentor Gold 100%)

Initial Inferred Resource of 10.6 million tonnes @ 1.5 g/t gold for a total of 516,000 oz gold at a 0.5 g/t cuf-off. Includes a high grade component of 3.2 million tonnes @ 2.9 g/t for 298,000 oz gold at a 1.5 g/t cut off.

The feasibility study at Burnakura was delayed for several reasons, the most significant being tight contractor and consultant availability. The feasibility study results will be available early in April 2012. Work continued during the quarter on the refurbishment of the existing processing plant at the site and mine planning. The project remains on track for the targeted commencement of production in mid2012. A number of key positions were filled during the quarter including General Manager, Process Manager, Mining Manager and Commercial Manager.

During the quarter, Kentor Gold conducted its first exploration drill program at Burnakura since acquiring Burnakura, Gabanintha and Jervois earlier in 2011. The air core drilling program targeted a magnetic structure interpreted as containing a repetition of the Burnakura Thrust zone which hosts the series of pits where mining was previously undertaken. Several low level gold anomalies were identified from the drilling and reported last month. The results are being followed up as part of a larger 16,000 metre RC drilling program at Burnakura, including infill drilling to improve confidence in the areas of initially planned production.

Diamond drilling for geotechnical assessment of all planned open-pit mine areas is now complete. Additional diamond drilling was conducted during the quarter to obtain samples required for the Burnakura Heap Leach Scoping Study. Bulk samples of gold oxide material taken from existing pits were also sent to Ammtec’s Perth laboratory for coarse bottle roll and column tests.

The RC drill rig successfully mobilised to site after delays caused by wet weather and commenced drilling at Burnakura on the 23rd January 2012. Good ground conditions are playing their part, enabling the drillers to achieve an average rate of 250 metres per day.

Gabanintha Gold-Copper Project, WA (Kentor Gold 100%)

Initial Inferred Resource of 4.5 million tonnes @ 1.4 g/t gold for a total of 203,000 gold at a 0.5 g/t cufoff. Includes a high grade component of 1.3 million tonnes @ 2.9 g/t for 121,000 oz gold at a 1.5 g/t cut off. Resource also included 450,000 tonnes @ 0.5% copper.

During the quarter, Kentor Gold analysed results of a HeliTEM survey flown in September over the most prospective areas of the Company’s suite of tenements at Gabanintha, located 25 km north-east of the Company’s Burnakura Gold Project. The survey was undertaken to identify drilling targets in order to extend known gold-copper mineralisation (open pit gold mining ceased at Gabanintha in 1991).

The results were highly encouraging. Modelling of the targets has commenced and will provide estimates of size and orientation to help direct follow-up drilling. A 4,000 m RC drilling programme will be conducted in the first quarter 2012 to test the targets generated by the HeliTem survey. Most of the current Resource is within 100 metres of the surface, and the mineralisation remains open at depth.

Kyrgyz Republic

Andash Gold-Copper Project (Kentor Gold 80%)

Andash has an estimated JORC Ore Reserve of 539,730 oz gold and 63,486 tonnes copper, and a 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.

Progress was made during the quarter towards the obtaining of local villagers’ approval in the form of a social licence for the development of Andash, one of the world’s lowest cost gold projects.

In December, a general village meeting was held in Kopurer Bazaar, the village located near the Andash project. The unanimous outcome was that a formal Kurultai (a traditional decision making meeting) would be held. Representatives of government, parliament, regional and provincial

administrations would be invited to attend. The granting of a social licence for the development of Andash will be the sole item for consideration.

As community support for the project is formalised and site access is gained, the Company will proceed with the 12-month construction program. The conventional open pit and flotation operation is planned to produce 70,000 oz gold and 7,400 tonnes copper a year in a single concentrate for an initial six years, with strong potential for expansion and extension. The project is forecast to have an extremely low total cost of US$29 an ounce gold, after copper credits and royalty payments, based on a copper price of US$2.75 a pound.

Bashkol Exploration Licence (Kentor Gold 80%)

During the quarter, Kentor Gold reported high grade gold and copper exploration results at the Bekbulaktor Gold Prospect on the Bashkol Exploration Licence, and the discovery of widespread occurrences of gold and copper over a 15-kilometre belt in the Bashkol Licence area.

The results of the 2011 work – the extent of the prospect and the high grade of the samples - increased the Company’s expectations of the mining potential of Bekbulaktor. A drilling program is now being planned to establish a gold-copper Resource.

The 2011 program of bedrock channel sampling, geophysics and soil sampling established an extensive 2km by 1 km area of gold and copper mineralisation which is open in three directions. Channel sampling returned high grade gold and copper results, the best result being 12m @ 14.07 g/t gold and 1.83% copper.

A reconnaissance program over the rest of the Bashkol Licence area was completed in the quarter and the results exceeded expectations. The program of geological traverses, chip sampling and a channel sample was undertaken to assess the overall potential of the licence area following the encouraging results at the Bekbulaktor Prospect.

The program revealed the widespread presence of gold and copper in mineralised granite in numerous locations over the 15 kilometres between Bekbulaktor and Sharkratma. This included a channel sample that reported 14m @ 5.74 g/t gold, 1.03% copper and 97 g/t silver in the valley of the Molo Stream.

A drilling program is being planned for Bekbulaktor in 2012, together with a geological and geophysical program between Bekbulaktor and Sharkmatma.

Geothermal Energy – Solomon Islands

Kentor Energy (Kentor 100%) is awaiting approval by the Government of the Solomon Islands of an application for a geothermal prospecting licence. The Company plans to investigate developing a conventional, volcanic geothermal energy project on Savo Island with a view to supplying geothermal power to the nation’s capital, Honiara, 34 km away, at much lower cost than the current diesel generation.

Having discontinued the pursuit of geothermal energy in central Asia due to the low power prices in the region, Kentor Gold reviewed conventional, volcanic related projects in the South Pacific in regions with high cost diesel generation, and identified Savo Island as the best project available. The retail price of electricity in the Solomon Islands is one of the highest in the world (approximately A$0.70/kWHr).

Kentor Gold made the application using a 100% owned subsidiary Kentor Energy. When appropriate, Kentor Gold plans to divest Kentor Energy in to a separately self-funded entity to add value to Kentor Gold shareholders.

Corporate

The Company maintained a strong financial position during the quarter, with a cash reserve of $34.1 million at 31 December 2011.

On the 24th January 2012, Kentor Shareholders approved a 1 for 10 share consolidation. The consolidation will take effect from 10 February 2012 and at this date, the number of shares on issue will be reduced as follows:

Current Shares on Issue: 1,062,092,950 Shares on Issue after Consolidation 106,209,295

The timetable for the consolidation is as follows: 25/01/2012 Last day of trading pre-reorganisation 27/01/2012 Trade on a deferred settlement basis 02/02/2012 Last day for transfers pre-reorganisation 03/02/2012 Notices sent to shareholders providing details of holdings pre and post consolidation 09/02/2012 Despatch Date – deferred settlement ends 10/02/2012 Normal trade

Outlook

During the current quarter, the Company will work towards bringing the Burnakura Gold Project into production in mid-2012. At the same time, a large 20,000m RC drilling program is being implemented, comprising infill drilling to increase the confidence level in the areas of initially planned production at Burnakura and regional exploration drilling to extend known gold mineralisation at Burnakura and goldcopper at nearby Gabanintha.

The Company will aim to complete the scoping study at Jervois during the quarter, and move to a full feasibility study this year. Tenders have now been received for the initial drilling campaign at Jervois of 8,000m of RC and 3,000m of diamond drilling with fieldwork anticipated to commence late February.

In the Kyrgyz Republic, the Company is placing high priority on obtaining the remaining approval - the social licence - for the Andash Gold-Copper Project and gaining site access so that the 12-month construction program can commence. An exploration program is also being planned at the high potential Bashkol Licence area, including drilling at the Bekbulaktor Prospect with a view to establishing a gold-copper Resource.
