QUARTERLY REPORT For the Quarter Ended 30 September 2005

HIGHLIGHTS

  • * Continued encouragement from Wilthorpe where RAB drilling has encountered numerous gold intersections over a 2.4km-long corridor to the north and south of the Harrods Central mineralisation. A 12.000m follow-up RAB programme has commenced, to test the extent of this recently discovered mineralisation and define targets for RC drilling. Meteoric plans to increasingly focus on its Wilthorpe project in order to assess the potential of this large mineralised system which is showing some similarities with the plus 2Moz Callie gold deposit in the Tanami region, NT.
  • " Follow up RC drilling at the Rutherfords Find prospect at Bullfinch intersected high gold grades with a best intercept of 4m at 10.1g/t Au from 71m. The drilling highlighted the potential of this poorly explored area and further drilling and geochemical surveys are planned to test for depth extensions and repetitions of this highgrade mineralisation.
  • An encouraging intercept of 8m at 1.0% Cu and 0.3g/t Au from 72m at end of hole from first pass RAB drilling at Bluebird, Barkly JV, NT.

WILTHORPE (Meteoric earning 90%)

A 100-hole, 6.667m programme of wide-spaced inclined RAB drilling (200m-spaced north-south lines) have been completed in the northern and southern Harrods extension zones for the first time. (ASX release 4 October 2005.) Also a 153-hole 1,227m shallow, vertical geochemical drilling programme was carried out to further define the 2.4km long bedrock gold anomaly at Harrods. Significant intersections are shown in the attached table and summarised as follows:

WDRB-379 1m @ 8.2g/t Au from 38m
WDRB-399 1m @ 3.9g/t Au from 23m
WDRB-419 5m @ 4.2g/t Au from 28m
including 1m @ 18.0g/t Au from 31m
WDRB-424 3m @ 3.5g/t Au from 12m
1m @ 5.4g/t Au from 26m
WDRB-437 1m @ 3.9g/t Au from 64m
WDRB-442 2m @ 3.4g/t Au from 72m
WDRB-444 1m @ 4.4g/t Au from 15m
WDRB-455 1m @ 35.9g/t Au from 62m eoh
WDRB-466 4m @ 4.6g/t Au from 45m
WDRB 587 4m @ 6.3g/t Au from 4m

The drilling encountered numerous mineralised intersections over the 2.4km length of this large mineralised system, as shown in the attached figure, indicating likely repetitions of the Harrods Central zone where some excellent high-grade intersections were obtained in previous RC drilling (see inset in the attached figure and the attached drill sections). Similarities in the geological setting and mineralisation style can be seen between Harrods and the plus 2Moz Callie deposit in the Tanami region of the NT. Studies are in progress to further examine these similarities and to clarify the vein geometry at Harrods.

To follow up these highly encouraging results, an expanded 12,000m infill RAB drilling programme has commenced on 100m line spacings to test the extent of the recently identified mineralisation and define targets for RC drilling. The results of this sizeable drilling programme are anticipated towards the end of November. In the meantime further RC drilling is being planned at Harrods Central to confirm the geometry and continuity of the mineralisation. In addition, a detailed ground magnetic survey is in preparation to map the magnetic stratigraphy and help elucidate structure and interpreted folded stratigraphy in close proximity to the Harrods mineralisation.

BULLFINCH (Meteoric earning 90%)

As previously reported (ASX release 11 October 2005) follow-up RC drilling at Rutherfords Find intersected high grade gold mineralisation down dip from previous shallow drilling on old workings, with a best intersection of 4m at 10.1g/t Au from 71m (including 2m at 18.7g/t Au from 72m). Limited RC drilling at Reynolds Find and Withers South did not intersect significant mineralisation. Significant intersections at Rutherfords Find include:

Rutherfords Find RC Drilling Results

1m samples, uncut Dip -60°, azimuth 360°

Rutherfords Find, situated 8km east of the 1.4Moz Copperhead gold mine, consists of an eastwest striking line of old workings over a strike length of 200m. The drilling results demonstrate a potential for high-grade shoots and further drilling is being planned to test the extent of the highgrade mineralisation. The nearby Golden Frog area has several reported occurrences of mineralised veins within granite and a programme of geochemical sampling is being planned to test this and other areas for repetitions of Rutherfords-style mineralisation.

JUNCTION LAKE (Meteoric earning 100%)

Scout RAB drilling is being planned to follow up targets outlined by geochemical sampling and ground magnetic surveys on this project situated 150km southeast of Kalgoorlie.

ULARRING (Meteoric earning 100%)

Reconnaissance surveys for gold and nickel are in preparation on this project covering an underexplored greenstone sequence about 120km northwest of Coolgardie.

BARKLY (Meteoric earning up to 70%)

A 7,544m shallow vertical RAB drilling programme was completed over combined magnetic/gravity targets in the Perseverance-Bluebird area about 30km east of Tennant Creek. The drilling defined a 600m long bedrock copper anomaly, open to the east, along strike from the Bluebird workings. Follow-up inclined RAB drilling (1,373m) at Bluebird and on this anomaly gave a best intercept of 8m at 1.0% Cu and 0.3g/t Au from 72m at end of hole in drill hole TBRB-717. These encouraging results are currently being assessed.

WARREGO NORTH (Meteoric earning 100%)

A single 202m RC drill hole (WNRC-20) was completed at the Parakeet prospect targeting a combined gravity/magnetic anomaly 50m west of drill hole WNRC-03 (best intercept 14m at 0.3% Cu from 145m). The drill hole encountered hematite and magnetite altered sediments but did not intersect significant mineralisation, however the hole flattened substantially and may not have tested the target.
