QUARTERLY REPORT OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2011

==> picture [65 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

SUMMARY

During the quarter ended 31[st] December 2011, work continued in Pakistan for renewed exploration at our gold and copper targets in Balochistan, Pakistan. Drilling originally scheduled to commence at Koh-i-Sultan in late 2011, has been re-scheduled to commence during the first quarter of 2012, due to delays in shipping the drilling equipment from Australia.

Pakistan

Lake Resources (Lake) is exploring for porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold deposits in the Chagai District of Balochistan (see p.2 for details). Significant mineral deposits in the region include the Saindak porphyry coppergold mine and the Reko Diq copper-gold project of Antofagasta Plc and Barrick Gold Corporation.

Lake Resources holds three Exploration Licences (ELs) granted by the Government of Balochistan in September 2009. These ELs replaced previous ELs held by Lake that expired in March 2009. Details are set out in Table 1 and Figure 1 below.

Note 1: A condition of the new licences is that the Balochistan Government should have up to a 25% interest in the licences – the government advises that preparation of a draft agreement is under way.

Lake Resources N L, Quarterly Report, October - December 2011

The Amalaf area adjoins the northern boundary of the Saindak copper-gold mine. The exploration target is large tonnage - low grade copper amenable to low-cost open-pit mining and trucking to the Saindak mine. In late 2005, one of two holes drilled by Lake to test part of this target intersected significant low-grade copper-molybdenum over the length of the hole with minor gold (12 -120m, 108 m @ 0.17%Cu & 94 ppm Mo).

The Dasht-i-Gauran area is situated to the west of copper mineralisation reported by TCC from drilling at its Sor Baroot Prospect at the Reko Diq Project, and covers a number of possible alteration zones identified from interpretation of satellite images.

At Koh-i-Sultan , Lake is exploring an extensive system of intensely altered breccia and volcanics covering an area of more than five square kilometres on the margin of an extinct volcanic caldera (See Fig. 2). Strong gold mineralisation was intersected in percussion drillhole LRM-01 on the western margin of the system in late 2005. A five-hole diamond drilling program totaling 2284 m completed in August 2008 resulted in two new discoveries:

• porphyry-type copper-gold mineralisation in drillhole LRMDDH-002 (392 – 520 m, 128 m @ 0.14%Cu and 0.19 ppm Au) and

• a very large, variably-altered and mineralised breccia complex, intersected in all five drillholes, over a width of more than 700 m and a north-south extent of more than 400 m. Geologically significant gold values were intersected in the breccia in four of the five drillholes. It is believed that the southern extension of this breccia also hosts the gold mineralisation intersected in drillhole LRM-001.

Exploration

During the quarter ended 31[st] December 2011, work continued in Pakistan for renewed exploration at our gold and copper targets in Balochistan, Pakistan. Drilling, originally scheduled to commence at Koh-i-Sultan in late 2011, has been re-scheduled to commence during the first quarter of 2012, due to delays in shipping the drilling equipment from Australia. At of the date of this report, the drilling equipment had reached the port of Karachi and was in the process of import and customs clearances. The equipment will be transported by road to the Company’s exploration base at Nok Kundi, and drilling should commence at Koh-i-Sultan shortly thereafter.

Cash Position

At the end of the December 2011 quarter, net cash on hand totaled A$1,073,000.
