Mineral Exploration Western Australia
Tambellup Project (100%)
(Tambellup E70/4173 Application and Tambellup East E70/4174 Application)
United Orogen has applied for two exploration licences covering approximately 395km² situated 100km north of Albany and approximately 30km south of Katanning.
The project area lies within the Yilgarn Craton South West Terrane with the Albany-Fraser Proterozoic Mobile Belt lying to the south and is prospective for gold and base metals.
The Company is targeting structural targets for gold mineralisation namely the north west trending Darken fault zone which is interpreted from geophysical work to trend from Boddington situated 137km to the north west and the lesser Kojonup fault which lies 5-6km to the south and runs parallel to the Darken fault.
The only recorded historical exploration of the western project area E70/4173 is an exploration licence which was held by Goldport Pty Ltd for a year and surrendered due to financial constraints in 2009. They carried out desktop studies to attempt to identify if structural similarities exist with the Blackburn/Badgebup and Boddington gold deposits. No fieldwork was completed.
The eastern project area E70/4174 was held for a year by Falcon Minerals. They were interested in the area after identifying regionally elevated Ni-Cu values located to the east of Tambellup from the CSIRO/CRC LEME regional laterite geochemical database for the Western Yilgarn Craton. They interpreted an analogy to the Voisey’s Bay Nickel project in Canada and analysed historic water bores for whole rock, rare earth, base metal and trace elements and concluded that the project

contained the essential ingredients to form a mafic hosted Nickel sulphide system. Subsequent geochemical soil sampling over the prospective part of the project area defined nine nickel and copper anomalous areas, eight of which fall within UOG’s tenement area. They concluded that there appeared to be a mafic source generating the anomalism and recommended a moving loop EM survey to be conducted to better define the targets; this survey or any additional work was not carried out and the tenement was surrendered in 2008.
There has been no other reported exploration within the project area and therefore the area is underexplored and is considered “grassroots exploration”.
Other gold deposits and mineralisation in the region besides the world class Boddington mine 137km to the north west include the Badgebup gold mine located 50 km to the north of E70/4174, some recorded gold mining near Wagin 50 km to the north of E70/4173 carried out in the early 1900’s and there was also exploration success (3m @ 11g/t Au) in drilling at Nanicup 48km to the north east.
UOG’s exploration will concentrate on sourcing and analysing data and using modern day exploration techniques which will determine the gold and base metal potential of the project.

Redmond Project (100%)
(E70/4073 application)
This application covers approximately 37km² and is centered on the Blue Gum gold prospect which was reported on in newspapers in the late 1890's. The historical workings are reported to be situated approximately 24km south west of Mt Barker in Western Australia and consisted of several vertical shafts and small pits. With the passage of time all surface evidence has since disappeared due to farming activity. The workings pre-date official Mines Department records, therefore besides the noted 1890's newspaper reports lodged at the department there are no official mining lease records.
The project area lies within the Albany-Fraser Proterozoic Mobile Belt and is prospective for gold and base metals.
Exploration within the tenement area has been limited to some soil sampling carried out by Wilga Mines NL in 1995 which did not yield encouraging results and 4 Rotary Air Blast (RAB) holes drilled in 1997 to approximate depths of 20m each by Tramore Bay Pty Ltd. It was reported these holes were drilled to determine the nature of the geology and the magnetic anomaly situated adjacent to and between the Redmond Road and Blue Gum Creek. The results indicated that mafic rocks were present over a wider area than originally interpolated and not enough information had been collected to determine the areas potential and recommended further exploration. The gold reef reportedly mined in the 1890’s has therefore not been adequately tested.
UOG's exploration will concentrate on sourcing historical maps and records from the late 1890's to determine the exact location of the reported gold reef and using modern day exploration techniques will determine the gold and base metal potential of the project.
Victoria Desert Project (100%)
(Victoria Desert E39/1528, Victoria Desert North E39/1594 (granted 3/5/2011) and E39/1620 Application)
The Project area is situated 250km ENE of Kalgoorlie and covers an area of approximately 185km² and is prospective for gold, base metals and uranium.
E39/1528 contains a north west trending magnetic high interpreted to be part of a remnant greenstone belt that would be prospective for gold. Previous exploration identified gold and base metals anomalies which were delineated from 900 short vacuum drilling holes varying in depth from 3 to 6 metres. Follow up closer spaced infill surface sampling is planned with the aim of

identifying drill targets in the vicinity of the previous Gold and base metals anomalies.
The northern part of the project E39/1594 (granted 3/5/2011) and E39/1620 (application) is underlain by narrow belts of north west trending greenstone within granites interpreted from aeromagnetic surveys. The area is therefore prospective for gold and base metals. A previous explorer identified 6 regional untested gold targets 2 of which fall within UOG’s tenements and both of which target pressure shadows associated with an interpreted north west trending ovoid intrusive. Also associated with either side of this structure, are two prospective interpreted north west trending shear zones. UOG will follow up these targets with surface sampling with an aim of identifying drill targets.
Horseshoe Project (100%)
(Horseshoe West E52/2016 and Horseshoe South E52/2569)
UOG’s exploration to date has concentrated on the western area of the tenement 7km west of the mine following up soil anomalies and where a recent Heliborne geophysical survey indicated no deep conductors are present in this area negating the possibility of a deep sulphide deposit. This area and Horseshoe South is now being targeted for north west striking structurally controlled gold mineralisation due to the vicinity of known deposits in the area. Additional sampling will be required to identify any drill targets.
Gunnado Project (100%)
(E69/2825)
The tenement was granted on 6 July 2011 and is located within the Eucla Basin approximately 450km east of Kalgoorlie and covers an area of 132km². Previous exploration is very limited which includes aeromagnetic and gravity surveys and two partly government funded (50%) diamond holes drilled to a depth of 400m each. The explorers were targeting possible nickel sulphide mineralisation within a north easterly trending zone of magnetic anomalies coincident with a gravity high. No significant nickel mineralisation was intersected.
UOG will be targeting gold and base metals and will review all the data and core collected from the holes which is stored in Kalgoorlie, with a view to utilising the holes for possible down hole geophysical work with the aim of detecting any deep conductors and possible mineralisation.
