Quarterly Report

for the three months ended

$30^{th}$ June 2003

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling into the significant sulphidic target to the west of Mount Mackenzie has further extended the size of the system.
  • Two new drill targets have been generated by a geophysical survey in the Hamilton Park Porphyry system. Drilling of these targets is planned in the next quarter.
  • The Company continues to expand the range of services available to existing and new Vehicle Route Optimisation clients.

OVERVIEW

The Company is continuing to evaluate the Mount Mackenzie prospect in the Connors Magmatic Arc for gold and copper, and is seeking a new partner for its Riversleigh zinc, lead and silver project. Both of these projects have drill targets.

The Company is providing route optimisation services for an increasing number of significant organisations. It has now integrated those services with vehicle location and voice and data messaging systems.

MINERAL EXPLORATION PROJECTS

Marlborough Joint Venture. SmartTrans equity ranges from 51 to 60 percent of thirteen tenements. Midas Resources Limited is earning 51% equity in five of these tenements and Jeteld Pty Ltd is earning 47% equity in two of these tenements.

As reported last Quarter, the focus of exploration at Mount Mackenzie has shifted from an epithermal gold target to a larger high sulphidation porphyry-related system on the western flank of Mount Mackenzie.

In these deposits, copper and gold mineralisation is usually found in pyrite zones where alteration and mineralisation occurs in distinctive zones.

A drill target has been generated using the interpretation of sulphur, gold, base metals, geophysics and geology.

A 1000 metre program of RC drilling, planned to be drilled on a nominal 200 metres x 200 metres grid pattern over this zone, has recently been completed. All four holes drilled have intersected intense alteration and significant concentrations of pyrite in the target zone. Assay results are expected to be available in early August.

Midas Resources Limited, the operator of the Connors Range Joint Venture, has advised that it has completed Stage Two of the exploration program commenced in June 2003. This program involved the completion of a 1.5km x 2km pole-dipole Induced Polarization (IP) survey over the "Twin Peaks" prospect that is part of the Hamilton Park porphyry system. Data was acquired on lines spaced 200m apart and this detailed "state of the art" survey will allow three-dimensional modeling of any resulting IP anomaly. Preliminary results have indicated the presence of two IP anomalies that warrant RC drilling follow-up. One of the anomalies is coincident with the southern portion of the "Twin Peaks" prospect magnetic anomaly. The second anomaly is located 1.5km west of the "Twin Peaks" prospect and is coincident with a remanently magnetised anomaly.

In addition to this survey, exploration included soil and rock chip sampling combined with detailed geological mapping at "Vein 366", "Waitara Epithermal" and "Six Mile" Creek" prospects.

Stage Three of the exploration program is scheduled to commence early in August with costeaning and approximately 1000m of RC drilling to follow up the two targets located during the ground IP survey and to test the "Six Mile Creek" prospect at depth. Costeaning is planned for the "Vein 366" and "Waitara East" prospects. Assay results can be expected early in September.

Riversleigh Joint Venture. (SmartTrans 100%)

A significant target immediately to the west of Grevillea, "Grevillea West", was discovered in an earlier program by a ground based EM Survey and one drill hole intersected 150 metres of massive pyrite. Further analysis of the EM data indicated that the "Grevillea West" prospect is analogous to the Macarthur River Sub-Basin, and that it may be close to the surface at its northern end.

BHP Billiton advised that it has no interest in pursuing this style of mineralisation and withdrew from the Joint Venture effective $25th$ April, 2003.

SmartTrans believes that the "Grevillea" and "Grevillea West" prospects have the potential to host a significant zinc-lead-silver deposit and is seeking a new like-minded joint venture partner to participate in further exploration of "Grevillea West" and the various other base metal prospects on its extensive tenement holdings in the Lawn Hill region. A number of large base metal explorers have expressed interest in this project.

VEHICLE ROUTE OPTIMISATION PROJECT.

The company is continuing to build recurring income through the addition of several major customers to those already using the company's route optimisation system.

The integration of vehicle location and voice and data messaging services with route optimisation has been well received by industry and is currently being implemented with significant businesses in Melbourne and Sydney with Australia-wide rollouts scheduled through 2004.
