Terranova Minerals NL (ASX:TNV) ( Terranova or the Company ) is pleased to provide shareholders with the following quarterly activities report on the Company’s recent activities.

$4.5m Raised in Oversubscribed IPO

In August 2011, the Company closed its Initial Public Offering ( IPO ) of 20 million $0.20 shares to raise $4,000,000. The IPO was oversubscribed with strong investor demand. The Company accepted subscriptions for an additional 2.5 million $0.20 shares raising a further $500,000 pursuant to the prospectus.

On 30 August 2011 Terranova was admitted to the Official List of ASX Limited. On 1 September 2011 the Company’s securities commenced trading.

The Company has entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Red Field Pty Ltd whereby the Company has acquired 100 per cent of both the Beete Gold Project and the Peninsula Gold Project. The Beete and Peninsula Gold Projects are located in the southern extent of the Eastern Goldfields Region of Western Australia in close proximity to the town of Norseman.

Cash at Bank $4.33 million

The Company has also applied for exploration licence E09/1899 known as the Crawford Project. The Crawford Project covers a total land area of 20km[2] and is located in the Crawford Belt of the Gascoyne Province, 190km East-North East of Carnarvon, Western Australia.

Fieldwork at Beete Gold Project Commenced

Gold was first discovered at the Beete Gold Project by H. Eldridge in 1958 and was mined during the late 1950’s intermittently until 1976. The total recorded production in the period following 1974 was 2,816 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 24.8g/t for a total of 2,300 ounces of gold produced. No modern systematic exploration has been conducted across this project to define extensions of the mineralisation along strike or at depth.

On 21 September 2011 the Company advised that field based exploration had commenced at its Beete Gold Project in Norseman, Western Australia.

The initial campaign aims to assist with gaining an understanding of the controls and extent of the gold mineralisation at the Beete Gold Project.

Terranova has utilised Mobile Metal Ion ( MMI ) Geochemistry to identify areas that are geochemically anomalous in the target commodities, being gold and base metals. MMI Geochemistry is more sensitive than conventional geochemical methods and well suited to the exploration environment found at the Beete Gold Project.

The sampling is expected to highlight a number of priority targets and geochemical trends which will be explored further by geological mapping, prior to any geophysical or drilling assessment.

Additionally, a rock chip sampling and geological mapping programme has been completed at and around the historical Beete Gold Project workings. The aim of rock chipping is to further define the grade distribution across the workings and potentially identify extensions to known mineralised areas.

The MMI survey involved the collection of approximately 34 soil samples (excluding standards and duplicates) on a 50 x 50 m grid. Samples have been submitted to SGS Laboratories in Perth, and will be analysed for a multiple commodity exploration package comprising 45 elements. The Company is currently awaiting results of the initial programme and anticipate being able to advise the market of the results by the end of November 2011.

Fieldwork at Peninsula Gold Project Commenced

Gold Mineralisation at the Peninsula Gold Project is associated with north-south trending quartz veins which dip at angles of 60 to 80 degrees to the east. A major quartz reef extends for the length of the tenement and has been previously worked in the late 1800’s and intermittently throughout the 1900’s. Along strike

within the project area a total of five shafts have been sunk.

Figure 4: Peninsula Decline

Small scale open cut and underground mining have been undertaken at the Peninsula Gold Project. A trial open pit mining operation yielding a total of 424 tonnes of ore was treated at a grade of 2.14 g/t Au. A decline was developed by Central Norseman Gold Corporation Limited (CNGC) at the southern end of the project. A total of 495 tonnes averaging 1.62g/t Au was mined by means of this infrastructure.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company advised that field based exploration at its Peninsula Gold Project in Norseman, Western Australia has commenced. Similar to the Beete Gold Project programme, the initial campaign aims to assist Terranova with gaining an understanding of the controls and extent of the gold mineralisation at Peninsula.

Terranova will utilise MMI Geochemistry to identify areas that are geochemically anomalous in the target commodities, being gold and base metals.

trends which will be explored further by geological mapping, prior to any geophysical or drilling assessment.

Additionally, a rock chip sampling and geological mapping programme has been conducted at and around the historical Peninsula Gold Project workings. The aim of rock chipping is to further define the grade distribution across the workings and potentially identify extensions to known mineralised areas.
