Quarterly Report as of 31[st] December 2010
Exploration Highlights
-
Horseshoe Project EM Survey completed, no deep conductors detected for massive sulphides, UOG now concentrating on structural gold targets.
-
Victoria Desert Project: - Additional Exploration Licence was applied for 12km north west of the Mulga Rock Uranium deposit. UOG will target gold, base metals and uranium.
Mineral Exploration
Western Australia
Horseshoe Project
(Horseshoe West E52/2016 & Horseshoe South E52/2569)
Helicopter borne XTEM Electromagnetic Airborne Geophysical survey was completed by GPX Surveys and our consultant geophysical group Newexco Services Pty Ltd have analysed the data and determined no deep conductors were detected and therefore no massive sulphides would be present. The survey covered an area of 15 km² at the Horseshoe West tenement in an area of anomalous soil samples produced from the earlier work and a smaller area 3km² on the Horseshoe South tenement. Regional geophysical and the tenement soil geochemical data are being examined within a structural framework for possible associated gold targets.
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. The accompanying tenement plan shows the position of each tenement in relation to interpreted palaeochannels and the location of the Mulga Rock uranium deposits.
E39/1528 contains a north west trending magnetic high interpreted to be part of a remnant greenstone belt that would be prospective for gold. The tenement consists of WNW trending undulating sparsely vegetated static sand dunes several hundred metres apart and up to 10m in height. 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 with one sample per hole and

70 aircore holes drilled on an 800m by 100m grid. UOG carried out reconnaissance of the area which included 11 shallow hand auger profiles averaging 2m in the vicinity of the previous explorer’s anomalous gold and base metal results. These were assayed at 15cm intervals to determine the near surface geochemical profile. Seven profiles indicated anomalous gold values up to 12 ppb Au against a background of <1ppb within the top 30cm of the surface. Follow up closer spaced infill surface sampling with the aim of identifying drill targets in the vicinity of the previous Gold and base metals anomalies on the current 800m grid spacing can therefore be restricted to the top 30cm. This will be cost effective and should produce a meaningful result.
An additional exploration licence E39/1620 was applied for which is contiguous and to the south of UOG’s recent application E39/1594 and 12km north west of the Mulga Rock Uranium deposit. Most of the area is underlain by narrow belts of north west trending greenstone within granites interpreted from aeromagnetic surveys. The area is prospective for gold, base metals and uranium, is covered by Tertiary sediments and a narrow salt lake crosses the middle part of the northern tenement. Previous exploration included 6 aircore holes and 85 short vacuum holes with one sample per hole and 68 soil samples. It is noted that this exploration was limited and concentrated in the extreme northern part of the tenement north of the salt lake and is interpreted to be underlain by granites.
Exploration will concentrate on locating palaeochannels which may host uranium mineralisation by analysing available data and using geophysical methods which has proved successful in the past. The gold targeting will concentrate on locating north west trending structures.

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 limited and 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.
Once granted 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.
Teck Cominco holds ground in the vicinity of UOG’s and is targeting IOCG (iron-oxide-copper-gold) mineralisation. An initiative by the state government helps to co-fund exploration drilling and is part of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) 50% funded from Royalties for Regions. As part of this initiative 4 holes will be drilled in the area during the coming year, two by Teck Australia, one by Richmond Mining Ltd and one by General Mining Corporation.
Northern Territory
(Treasure (EL25346) Florence Creek (EL25894) and Lucky U (EL25329))
These tenements are subject to a purchase agreement by Iron Mountain for the portion of the Northern Territory exploration licences from UOG that they do not own. The consideration was 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. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval. Iron Mountain Mining Limited held a General Meeting in December where the transaction was approved by its shareholders. United Orogen Limited is expected to hold a General Meeting within the coming months.
No significant assay results were received from the previously collected 12 stream sediment samples taken from areas of interest within Florence Creek, determined from the airborne magnetic data and no gabbroic rocks were identified. The aim was to determine the presence of any gabbroic intrusions similar to those found by Mithril Resources 30km to the south east of the tenement where they have discovered through mapping and surface sampling significant copper and cobalt mineralisation.
The north east area of the Florence Creek tenement still remains to be explored.
