Quarterly Report as of 31st March 2011

Highlights

Corporate

Non-renounceable Rights Issue of Shares with Free Attaching Option**.**

Exploration

Redmond Project: - Exploration Licence was applied for 24km south west of Mt Barker. Old newspaper reports from 1898 indicated gold mining occurred within the tenement application.

Corporate

On 28 March 2011 United Orogen Limited (UOG) announced a one (1) for two (2) non-renounceable pro rata rights issue of new UOG shares at an issue price of 3 cents for each new share, with one (1) free attaching option (exercisable at 20 cents and expiring on 31 March 2016) for every one (1) new UOG share issued. The Rights Issue will result in the issue of 32,386,426 new UOG shares (and 32,386,426 free attaching options) and will raise an estimated $971,592 if all rights are taken up (based on UOG's undiluted share capital as at the date of this offer). UOG will apply for quotation of the new UOG shares and the free attaching options issued pursuant to the Rights Issue on the ASX.

Mineral Exploration Western Australia

Redmond Project

(Redmond E70/4073 Application)

UOG applied for an exploration licence covering approximately 37km² 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.

In the late 1990's BHP explored the region to the NE and SW for zinc, lead and silver however their project did not include the current Redmond application area. No other reported exploration has been carried out and therefore the project area is underexplored.

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

(Victoria Desert E39/1528, Victoria Desert North E39/1594 Application & 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 metal anomalies.

The northern part of the project E39/1620 and E39/1594 are applications and 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 this structure, are two prospective interpreted north west trending shear zones. UOG will follow up these targets with surface sampling to identify drill targets.

Horseshoe Project

(Horseshoe West E52/2016 & 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 drill targets.

The Horseshoe West tenement is situated 4km to the north of the old Horseshoe copper gold mine where Horseshoe Metals announced at the end of January 2011 high grade copper drill intersections from 161m in depth and 200m along strike north of the old open pit. Horseshoe Metals were encouraged since the ground had not been tested to this depth before. Due to the encouraging drill results by Horseshoe Metals north of the old mine, the section of UOG's tenement situated 4km along strike to the north will be investigated. The Bangemall sediments are situated 500m north of the mine and these younger rocks have been thrust on top of the Narracoota volcanics which contain the mine's mineralised sequence. Thrust faults are by definition low angle and UOG will use modern geophysical techniques to target the interpolated mineralised sequence within UOG's tenement. If a target is defined it is predicted to be deep and UOG will seek a joint venture partner to spread the exploration risk.

PO Box 3235, 256 Adelaide Terrace Perth Western Australia 6832

Gunnado Project (E69/2825 Application)

The Project area 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.
