Received 4th November 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder
Stirling Resources Limited (ASX: SRE) is the major shareholder in Peel Exploration. Over a period of time we have become increasingly concerned at what we see as a tendency for the Board of Peel to become defocused from the reported "company maker" Attunga Tungsten and Kensington Gold's "significant gold system".
Since acquiring the Attunga/Kensington tenements the Company has continually looked further afield with Boorolong (April 2008), Mt Tenyson (September 2008), Yerranderic (March 2009) and the latest May Day (September 2009).
As the major shareholder we are worried that with scant resources (financially and people) the Company is spreading itself too thin and this may lead to self destruction.
It appears the Board is continually looking at "other farms" without actually getting the "home property" producing. In our experience this is a recipe for disaster.
We consider that all efforts and focus should be on Attunga and possibly Kensington so as to produce a cash flow from which further exploration can be undertaken. That way a solid company can be developed.
We have attached a summary of public releases which include:
"The independent JORC resource announced today confirms that the Attunga Tungsten Deposit is high grade and represents a significant Australian tungsten resource" (April 2008).
"To my knowledge, these results are some of the highest grade tungsten mineralisation reported anywhere in the world and give strong encouragement to the deposit's potential for future development" (August 2008).
This project is backed up by Kensington "a high priority target".
In the Company's August 2009 Investor Presentation Peel alluded to "rationalization underway" and yet the very next month, and on the day the rights issue closes, announced another acquisition.

and yet the very next month, and on the day the rights issue closes, announced another acquisition.
Our group has always financially supported Peel when asked to either by way of placement (and above market price) or by way of rights issues when others have not.
The recent rights issue was far from successful with a 32% take-up, and just under half of the takeup was by Stirling.
A second issue of concern is that in our opinion, the Board has limited practical resources experience. Apart from the Managing Director, a geologist, there is no director with either resource development or operating experience.
We sought to offer these skills to support the MD, by requesting board seats for myself and Stirling's CFO, Keith Vuleta. I was politely declined.
Both of us have been involved in many project developments and operations and believe we can bring to the Company a significant amount of practical experience not only in mining but also product marketing and project funding.
At Stirling's cost we have requested a Shareholders' meeting to vote on the Resolutions as set out in a Notice of Meeting.
We urge shareholders to attend the General Meeting to discuss our concerns of Board focus and the lack of project skills.
If any shareholder has any questions both Keith or myself can be contacted on (08) 6389 6800.
Yours faithfully
Michael Kiernan Managing Director

1. Prospectus March 2007
The Company will continue with exploration and evaluation of its four exploration licences in the New England gold belt region of Northern New South Wales with a focus on promptly and systematically testing the potential of the numerous precious and base metals prospects.
Quarterly Report June 2007 $2.$
During the quarter, Peel Exploration lodged applications for exploration licences covering the historic Attunga-Kensington gold-tungsten-molybdenum mineral fields, about 20km north of Tamworth. ELA3177 and ELA3182, referred to as the Attunga Project, cover a combined area of about 250 km2.
3. Annual Report 2007
Perhaps most importantly for the Company is the recent acquisition of the historic Attunga-Kensington mineral fields. The Attunga project represents a potential "company-maker" for Peel.
4. Media Release October 2007
Peel identifies high-grade tungsten-moly at Attunga
Peel Exploration is pleased to announce that re-logging and sampling at historic diamond drill hole 23 from the Attunga Scheelite Deposit has encountered high-grade tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation that had not been previously identified.
5. Quarterly Report September 2007
Kensington gold-tungsten deposit & Kensington NW prospect
During the quarter Peel Exploration also identified the Kensington gold-tungsten deposit as a high priority exploration target. The Kensington project contains numerous historic gold workings.
6. Quarterly Report December 2007
Previously unidentified high grade tungsten molybdenum mineralisation encountered at the Attunga Tungsten Deposit. New results represent approximately 10 fold increase in grade from original 2006 results.
Media Release March 2008 7.

Resampling and assaying of historic diamond drill holes validates historic data and confirms the presence of a significant gold system. All other historic Kensington diamond drill holes intersected significant gold mineralisation.
Media Release March 2008 8.
Further High-Grade Tungsten-Moly Identified at Attunga
Resampling and assaying at Attunga Tungsten Deposit yields new high-grade tungsten-moly intercept. New results confirm high grade nature of mineralisation at Attunga Tungsten Deposit. Mineralisation remains open at depth.
9. Media Release April 2008
High-Grade Resource at Attunga Tungsten Deposit
1.29 Mt grading 0.61% WO3 and 0.05% Mo for 9.400t contained WO3
"The independent JORC resource announced today confirms that the Attunga Tungsten Deposit is high grade and represents a significant Australian tungsten resource," Mr Tyson said.
10. Quarterly Report March 2008
Resampling at Attunga Tungsten Deposit identifies additional previously unrecognised high-grade tungsten mineralisation. Resampling at Kensington confirms significant gold system.
During the quarter, as part of the work directed towards the resource estimation, Peel continued to encounter high-grade tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation that had not been previously identified. An interval of 12m at 0.51% W and 0.07% Mo from 84m down hole was obtained.
11. Quarterly Report June 2008
Partial results received for Kensington continue to confirm significant gold system.
12. Media Release August 2008
2m at 24% WO3 - Extraordinary tungsten grades at Attunga
Peel Exploration is pleased to announce that recent drilling at the Attunga Tungsten Deposit has encountered extremely high-grade tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation confirming historic results that indicate the deposit has numerous high-grade zones.
"To my knowledge, these results are some of the highest grade tungsten mineralisation reported anywhere in the world and give strong encouragement to the deposit's potential for future development", Peel Executive Director Rob Tyson commented.
13. Media Release September 2008
Extensive gold mineralisation at Kensington
Peel Exploration is pleased to announce that recent RC drilling completed at the Kensington Gold-Tungsten Prospect has encountered widespread gold mineralisation. Encouragingly, gold mineralisation was intersected in all drill holes.

Standing out amongst these projects are the Attunga Tungsten Deposit and the Kensington gold-tungsten deposit.
15. Quarterly Report September 2008
Extraordinary tungsten grades returned from metallurgical drilling at Attunga Tungsten Deposit - 42m at 2.09% WO and 0.17% Mo from 21m including 2m at
24% WO3 and 1.71% Mo from 22m.
Lodgement of ELA covering historic Mount Tennyson East prospect.
Subsequent to the quarter's end Peel commenced an in-house Conceptual Study into development options for the Attunga Tungsten Deposit.
16. Chairman's Address AGM November 2008
The company is keen to fast-track Attunga and the focus of our activities will be to complete a scoping study and if that proves successful, move to a full feasibility study. Looking ahead, Peel plans to complete a Conceptual Study of the Attunga project before moving to a Scoping Study early in 2009. Further drilling will be carried out as funds become available.
17. AGM 2008 Presentation
Attunga Tungsten Deposit is potentially low-cost, economically robust tungsten-moly project, is amongst the richest tungsten deposits in Australia, located near excellent infrastructure and low cost skilled labour and has had minimal modern exploration and remains open at depth.
18. Quarterly Report December 2008
Initial metallurgical and mineralogical studies on Attunga Tungsten Deposit completed within encouraging results/findings. Relatively simple process route identified.
The Kensington Gold/Tungsten Prospect represents a high-priority target within the Attunga project area.

Placement 900,000 shares at 15c purpose: "To fund drilling at the Attunga Project"
20. Quarterly Report March 2009
Metallurgical and mineralogical studies on Attunga Tungsten Deposit completed with encouraging results.
During the quarter, Peel lodged and exploration licence application over the historic Yerranderie silver field area. Literature searches indicate that substantial amounts of silver-lead-gold mineralisation remain present in surface waste and tailings dumps at Yerranderie. Peel plans to investigate the potential to retreat and remediate the Yerranderie environs.
21. Media Release June 2009
More High Grade Tungsten at Attunga
Peel Exploration is pleased to announce that recent drilling at Attunga has returned encouraging mineralisation at all prospects drilled including a shallow, high grade tungsten intercept returned from the Attunga Tungsten Deposit.
