Quarterly Report (4th Quarter) April to June 2010

Exploration Highlights

  • At the Horseshoe West project a contract has been signed to cover the anomalous copper and gold soil areas with heliborne EM

  • The new but small Exploration Licence 52/2569 will also be covered with heliborne EM.

  • A new Exploration Licence has been applied for in the Eucla Basin. The licence covers a coincident gravity and magnetic anomaly. Base metals are the target.

Corporate Affairs

  • On 26 May UOG announced that it had agreed to the sale of its property at 113 Mackie Street to Iron Mountain Mining Ltd.

  • On 3 June UOG entered into a Heads of Agreement with Iron Mountain Mining Ltd whereby the latter can purchase the outstanding available interest in three UOG Exploration Licences in the Northern Territory in which Iron Mountain already holds a minority interest.

  • Both transactions are subject to and conditional upon the approval of shareholders of both Iron Mountain Mining Ltd and United Orogen Ltd as the companies have common directors.

Mineral Exploration

Western Australia

1. Horseshoe West (E52/2016)

The copper-gold soil anomalies will be tested for concentrations of massive sulphides using Heliborne EM. The contract has been signed and the aircraft is awaited.

2. Horseshoe South (E52/2569)

This small exploration licence has been subject to much exploratory work by previous explorers. It is known to contain anomalous gold and copper in soils, thus UOG will test the area using the same Heliborne EM system looking for concentrations of massive sulphides.

3. Victoria Desert (ELA39/1528)

The exploration licence is situated 250km ENE of Kalgoorlie and covers part of a NW trending magnetic high thought to be part of a remnant greenstone belt that may be prospective for gold. To the east and south lies the Albany Fraser Range Province, also prospective for gold, whilst 6km to the NE is the Mulga Rocks uranium deposit.

4. Gunnedo Project (ELA69/2808 )

The exploration licence covers a coincident gravity and magnetic anomaly within the Eucla Basin. The basement is thought to be an Archaean craton. The targets are base metals and gold. Gunnedo is situated 450 km east of Kalgoorlie and lies partly on the Gunnedorah Pastoral Lease; access is along the Transcontinental Railway line.

The following projects were relinquished during the quarter:-

1. Mt Vernon (E52/2338)

Mt Vernon was explored for uranium, platinum-palladium and manganese. All results were low and of no further interest.

2. Northampton (E70/3378)

Research was done on past exploration on the licence. The area had been flown to gather airborne magnetic and airborne EM information and the resultant anomalies were thoroughly tested. In the north of the licence abundant lines of IP covered the area and

2

many of the anomalies were drill tested. The licence had been fully tested and was relinquished.

3. Miss Fairbairn Hills (E69/2336)

The area was fully researched. All past drilling in the vicinity was plotted. In the north Stockdale drill several kimberlite pipes but all were north of the northern boundary of the licence. In the south Goldfield drilled several deep diamond drill hole searching for lead-zinc deposits-minor mineralization was intersected. There were enough scattered exploratory holes drilled across the channel to determine that there was little chance of a palaeochannel infilled with channel iron ore occurring. The licence was surrendered.

Northern Territory

1. Treasure (EL25346), Florence Creek (EL25894) and Lucky U (EL25329)

Iron Mountain has offered to purchase the portion of the Northern Territory exploration licences from UOG that they do not own. Treasure is 70% owned by UOG, Lucky U is also owned 70% by UOG and Florence Creek is owned 50% by UOG. The consideration is for Iron Mountain to give UOG 5 million shares in Iron Mountain and 5 million options in Iron Mountain exercisable at 20 cents per option on or before 1 May 2015. For this to occur the shareholders of both companies have to approve the transaction.
