WILTHORPE (Meteoric earning up to 90%)
As previously announced (26 November 2004) follow-up sampling confirmed high gold grades in aircore drilling at the Harrods prospect, situated about 25km south of the 1Moz Fortnum gold project in the Peak Hill region of WA. Assay results include:
| WDRB-54 | 6m at 7.2 $g/t$ Au from 79m |
|---|---|
| WDRB-56 | 9m at 8.3 g/t Au from 77m |
| WDRB-58 | 5m at 14.1 g/t Au from 53m |
| WDRB-59 | 2m at 7.8 g/t Au from 44m |
| WDRB-61 | 2m at 8.3 g/t Au from 91m |
A 25-hole, 3,094m follow-up RC drilling programme at Harrods encountered broad zones of stringer mineralisation over a 300m strike length with numerous gold intersections in the central 200m zone. Preliminary 4m composite sample results are summarised as follows:

4m composite samples. Azimuth 270°, dip - 60° unless otherwise marked. * Azimuth 090° dip - 60° to 70°. eoh; end of hole. Samples analysed using an agua regia digest, solvent extraction and flame atomic absorption spectrometry.
18 of the 25 holes intersected gold values, indicating several zones of mineralisation in the central zone. Most of the holes in the recent programme were drilled to the west, in the opposite direction to the previous drilling, in order to clarify the geometry of the multiple stringer zones. Sampling of the 1m intervals from the plus 0.5 g/t Au composites has been completed with assay results awaited. Owing to the variable nature of the stringer zones the results of the detailed sampling will be required to fully assess the significance of these results. In the meantime consideration is being given to carrying out diamond drilling to obtain more information on the geometry and controls of mineralisation.
JARBORA HILL (Meteoric earning up to 100%)
A 213-hole, 2,684m vacuum drilling programme was completed during the quarter in order to follow up anomalous gold in laterite identified by previous geochemical drilling. The vacuum drilling defined four anomalous gold zones in laterite (plus100ppb Au, maximum value 2,075 ppb Au) at Emu Well, over a cumulative strike length of 700m. At Fenceline, about 1km NE of Emu Well the drilling defined a small gold anomaly about 100m in length. It is apparent that much of the laterite anomaly at Emu Well has not been tested by RAB drilling and further drilling to test these targets is being considered.
BULLFINCH (Meteoric earning up to 100%)
A 50-hole, 2,831m RAB drilling programme was completed over the central 500m section of a 1km-long gold-in-soil anomaly at Withers South. 4m composite sampling results indicate anomalous gold values in 6 holes (best result 12m at 1.2 g/t Au from 40m in drill hole BRB-14). Follow-up sampling is in progress.
JUNCTION LAKE (Meteoric earning up to 100%)
Ground magnetic and geochemical sampling for both gold and nickel are in progress over aeromagnetic targets interpreted to form part of the soil covered extension of the Roe Hills greenstone belt where Oroya Mining recently announced nickel and gold intersections from previous exploration.
BARKLY (Meteoric earning up to 70%)
As previously announced (17 November 2004) Meteoric has agreed terms for a joint venture on the 422sq km Barkly project situated 30 km east of Tennant Creek. Target areas within the Barkly tenements have been identified adjacent to the Perseverance gold workings (best drill intersection; 3m at 43.2g/t Au from 72m) and at the Flag magnetic anomaly.
Under the terms of the joint venture Meteoric may earn a 51% interest by expenditure of \$300,000 within three years. If Giants Reef elects not to contribute at 51% then Meteoric may elect to earn a further 19% by expenditure of an additional \$200,000 within a further two years.
A detailed gravity survey has commenced over a 2.5 km x 6km area encompassing The Perseverance-Bluebird line of gold workings. To date 2,800 gravity stations have been completed on 30m x 60m centres with encouraging results. The survey has confirmed well defined anomalies over the known mineralisation and outlined a previously unknown 800m-long gravity anomaly some 600m to the south of Perseverance. 1,850 gravity stations are planned on 60m x 120m centres over the area surrounding the detailed survey.
In addition, 380 gravity stations are planned over the Flag target in the southern part of the project area to test a strong magnetic anomaly situated about 15km along strike from the Golden Kangaroo and Black Snake prospects where Giants Reef recently announced high grade gold intersections.
WARREGO NORTH (Meteoric earning up to 100%)
The Parakeet magnetic and gravity anomaly remains the main target at Warrego North. where recent drillhole WNRC-03 intersected 14m at 0.3% Cu from 145m (including 5m at 0.5% Cu from 154m). Down-hole surveys indicated that this mineralised drillhole deviated away from the target. A further 140 infill gravity stations were completed over this area which, together with down-hole magnetic surveys, indicate the main target is 50m to the west of WNRC-03. In addition modelling of the gravity and magnetic data indicate a larger, deeper target at Parakeet some 400m below surface. Deep penetration induced polarisation geophysics is being considered as a method of verifying these targets prior to further drilling.
