About MinRex

MinRex has two principal projects. The Deflector Extended Gold Project lies to the north of Perth at Yalgoo, within the Gullewa Greenstone Belt of the Murchison Goldfield. Deposits of gold-copper mineralisation in primary quartz-sulphide veins and secondary gold deposits in surface clays and laterite have been mined in the Gullewa area, in proximity to MinRex’s Project area.

Figure 1: Location of MinRex Project Areas

The Heemskirk Tin Project in north-western Tasmania has been the site of limited prospecting and exploration activities, focussed on surface mineralisation. The most substantial exploration efforts have been at the Peripatetic Mine which consists of several adits and shafts and numerous small open pits. Within the Project area numerous historical workings, for tin, tungsten and copper, present a number of exploration opportunities.

Exploration activities, comprising surface sampling and geological examination, are being carried out by MinRex on both of the Project areas.

Deflector Extended Gold Project

The Deflector Extended Gold Project (EL 59/1657) is located approximately 370 km north of Perth and approximately 50 km southwest of Yalgoo, within the Archean Gullewa Greenstone Belt, of the Murchison Terrane of Western Australia. To the southwest of the Project area, the Deflector Central and Deflector West open pits have been mined for gold-copper mineralisation in shear zones in metabasalt, while the Golden Stream Mine has been mined for gold in shear zone-hosted quartz veins in metabasalt.

Figure 2: Geological Map of the Gullewa Area showing Deflector Extended Gold Project

Gold was discovered at Gullewa in 1894 and historic production occurred in the region from 1897 to 1942. During this period a reported total of 36,000 ounces of gold was produced from a total of 24,000 tonnes of ore at an overall grade of 46.3 g/t Au. Mining recommenced in 1994 and by 2003 a total of 530,000 tonnes of ore at a grade of 2.6g/t Au had resulted in the production of some 39,000 ounces of gold, mainly from open cut mining but with a small underground component. The Deflector Extended Gold Project lies along strike from the Deflector and Golden Stream open cuts.

The Project area is predominantly covered by transported soil, colluvium and alluvium, which effectively conceal any mineralisation present. The area has historically been examined by regional soil geochemistry surveys, rock chip sampling and limited RAB / AC drilling. The previously completed exploration work is encouraging, especially the early geochemistry and RAB drilling that shows some clearly anomalous gold values within the tenement. Overlapping structural and soil geochemistry anomalies have been delineated at Deflector Extended and now provide the priority exploration targets which are being investigated by MinRex.

Figure 3: Typical Outcrop (left) and Cover (right) on Deflector Extended Gold project

In the district, mineralisation occurs in shear zones which are focussed on structures within greenstones, or in structures on the margins of greenstones (i.e. along internal sediment horizons or near the contact with granites). The main structural trend is southwest-northeast, although some deposits are on structures in other orientations.

Figure 4: Structural and Geochemical Trends in the Deflector Extended Gold Project

Following a comprehensive review of all available data, field reconnaissance programs commenced in 2012 and it is planned that these will be followed with a limited program of RAB or AC drilling. In early 2012, an infill geochemical sampling program was conducted over a large portion of the tenement area. A total of 157 auger holes were completed at 400 x 200m spacing (a few at 400 x 100m) with a maximum depth of 3.2m and an average depth of 1.7m. Anomalous gold values (up to 17ppb), copper (up to 327ppm) and nickel (up to 628ppm) were returned from this program.

In March 2013, a preliminary geological evaluation and surface sampling program was conducted over the Project area. All parts of the lease were visited and observations made of

3

the geomorphology, soil types and rock outcrops and a total of thirty rock chip samples, of vein quartz, cherty sediments, aplite and ironstone, were collected for analysis. The rock chip samples returned anomalous gold values (up to 68 ppb), copper (up to 426 ppm) and lead (up to 146 ppm). This sampling supplemented the earlier pattern auger and other geochemical surveys, where the large spacing of the sample points may have missed narrow mineralised structures.

It is planned to conduct further follow up surface sampling and evaluation in the area of these initial anomalous results.

Figure 5: Plan Showing Rock Chip Sampling Sites at Deflector Extended Gold Project In considering further work on this Project, careful observation of the geology, structure, depth of weathering, previous geochemistry and RAB drill results will be used to deduce the most favourable sites for small, highly-targeted drill programs in the Project area.

In conclusion, the Deflector Extended Gold Project area is clearly prospective for hidden gold or gold-copper deposits, as demonstrated by the known deposit density in the region and the presence of a known ore deposit (being exploited by Mutiny Gold Limited), within a short distance (2 km), on a structure that trends into the tenement. However, as yet mineralised structures in the area are not showing up in the available geophysics and any deposits present are showing muted responses to geochemistry and therefore will require further detailed surface geochemistry and geological mapping to be able to define them.

Heemskirk Tin Project

The Heemskirk Tin Project (E18/2011) covers an area of 44 km² and is located in north-western Tasmania and centred approximately 16 km WNW of the mining town of Zeehan. The area is thought to be highly prospective for tin mineralisation, but may also host copper, lead, zinc and bismuth mineralisation as sulphides.

==> picture [426 x 459] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Location Plan Showing Heemskirk Tin Project Area

Preliminary work at Heemskirk in 2012 included interpretation of airborne aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys, a review of previous sampling and mapping programs and analysis of other data sets. This work identified several areas for further follow-up sampling.

Surface sampling commenced in June 2012, with several days in the field being spent locating, examining and sampling historic workings and geology. The area has contained many small, but rich, tin oxide bodies associated with various vein types. Many old workings were located and examined in the field, with these generally thought to date from between 1876 and 1900.

Thirteen rock chip samples and ten stream sediment samples were collected, with these being analysed for gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, nickel, lead, tin, titanium, tungsten and zinc. This was an initial reconnaissance sampling program to determine the background anomalism levels, with the results showing low levels of most of the elements analysed.

Vein hosted and replacement mineralisation was noted at the McGuinness and Iron Blow workings and a large area of sericitic alteration was seen immediately to the west of South Gap Creek. These areas having been specifically identified as worthy of further inspection due to their having the potential to be associated with larger mineralised systems.

Work completed at the Heemskirk Tin Project in November and December 2012, included the collection of thirty stream sediment samples from around the historic McGuiness Tin Mine. The samples were transported from Tasmania to Perth, Western Australia for analysis by Bureau Veritas for gold, silver, tungsten, tin, molybdenum and arsenic.

Figure 7: Plan Showing Stream Sediment Sampling Sites at Heemskirk Tin Project

The assay results for the stream sediment sampling work were received in early 2013, with no exceptional results returned from this work, the best being 118 ppm tin and 155 ppm tungsten. Low gold (5.4 ppb), silver (1 ppm) and molybdenum (1.2 ppm) values are not considered anomalous. This work is now being reviewed, together with the earlier sampling, for the planning of an additional follow-on sampling and exploration program.

No field work was completed at the Heemskirk Tin Project in the June 2013 Quarter, although the assessment of previous results and planning for future field sampling continued.

The Heemskirk Tin Project area is large and poorly explored and there remain many areas with old workings and known tin anomalism that are yet to be tested. Further field programs, and possibly geophysics, are planned to hone in on any potential mineralisation.

Follow-up Exploration Activities :

Exploration activities planned by the Company over the next Quarter for both its project areas in Western Australia and Tasmania are given below.

Deflector Extended Gold Project

• Results from the recent sampling program are now being assessed and further field work will be completed to follow up in the areas with anomalous results. This aims to better delineate potential targets prior to consideration being given to a drilling and sampling program on target zones within the Deflector Extended Gold Project.

Heemskirk Tin Project

• Further assessment of the results received to date will be made prior to conducting follow up field sampling. It is considered that the prospectivity of the area warrants further work and a follow-up sampling program is being designed to further test the Heemskirk Tin Project area.

Corporate

The Company is continuing to actively, and judiciously, seek and assess a broad range of exploration and corporate opportunities that have the potential to complement the existing tenement portfolio. Minrex remains in a strong position to act on any potential corporate opportunities that may add significant value for shareholders.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company had available cash of $2.557 million.
