Lodestone Exploration Limited
Exploring the Mount Morgan metals district with advanced technologies
Annual General Meeting 2003
Overview
- Mount Morgan was historically Queensland's premier Gold mine, producing more than 9.5 million Oz
- Traditionally, these types of deposits occur in clusters
- ← Lodestone is seeking similar deposits in the local area using advanced technologies under the wide spread cover rock in the target areas
Presentation Overview
- Strategy & Objectives
- Milestones / Exploration Work To Date
- Results & Implications
- Future Programs

Mt Morgan - The Target

- "....find another Mount Morgan VHMS deposit"
- 9.5 million Oz gold produced
- Average 5 g/t Au
- 360,000 tonnes Cu
- 1.6 million Oz Silver
- Gross Value
- $>$ A$6.4billion
World class gold-copper deposit
"Australia's premier VHMS deposit"

Lodestone's Strategy
ASTONE
- During the past year your Board has maintained its focus on the Company's exploration strategy within the Mount Morgan area, with our four objectives continuing to be:
- Discovering major gold and/or gold-copper deposits similar to ۰ Mount Morgan
- Generating drill targets by using advanced exploration tools and concepts
- Enhancing our strategic tenement holding in the Mount Morgan region
- Maintaining, where possible, a tight capital structure intended to $\bullet$ maximise shareholder wealth in the event of exploration success

Prior exploration restricted by overlying cover rocks and the prior limitations of exploration technology.

2003 Milestones
In line with strategic objectives, Lodestone achieved some significant milestones during the year:

Capital base was broadened and strengthened
$\bullet$ successful $2.5 million raising introduced 450 new shareholders to the register
• Undertook a comprehensive assessment of it's tenements
● completed TEMPEST airborne geophysical survey, ground gravity and ground electromagnetic surveys
• Two drilling programs were completed
six readily accessible electromagnetic targets were drilled
The results assisted in the understanding of the local geology and provided valuable data for the development of future programs
Three additional tenements were acquired in Central Queensland covers some 240 square kilometres, and offers prospective geological targets INDESTONE
2003 Program Summary
PHASE 1 DRILLING PROGRAM
- 7 drillholes for 944.4 metres on 4 priority EM targets
- No significant mineralisation
- Results advanced our understanding of local geology and provided data for development of ongoing programs
PHASE II PROGRAM
- 15 line km ground EM to define Tempest targets
- 4 drillholes for 623 metres on 3 priority EM targets
- Prospective basement rocks intersected in 2 drillholes...at +190m depth
- Ground gravity survey over $\sim$ 175 km2
TARGET GENERATION
- Engagement of consultants to progress new target generation
- New tenement applications over 240 square km covering Mt Morgan and Mt Leyshon/Kidston type targets to the W, N and E of Mt Morgan
BHP BILLITON ALLIANCE
Access to specialist technology and expertise from a strategic alliance with BHP Billiton on the Mount Morgan project ACITIESTONE

Hamilton Creek Target
- Magnetic signature similar to Mt Morgan. Classic for intrusion-related mineralisation
- Discrete magnetic low
- Within interpreted prospective rock sequence
- Covered by transported creek alluvium (~20m) in broad valley
- Anomalous Copper & Gold in soils on flank of adjacent hill to NW

Ulam Target - EPM 13743
- Classic magnetic signature intrusion-related gold
- Discrete magnetic low with magnetically active rim (?alteration)
- Historic gold production from Queenslander Gold Mine
- Covered by transported creek alluvium $(\sim 20m)$ with historic alluvial gold production
