Highlights for December quarter 2013

CBH Resources Limited funding of Stage 3 of the Mallee Bull farm-in agreement continuing; balance of $3.33 million to increase its interest to a total of 50% expected by March 2014 with Joint Venture planning now underway.

Bulk of December quarter's exploration drilling was targeted towards identifying new mineralisation away from Mallee Bull; encouraging results were returned.

Drillhole MBDD017 was drilled for a total 1048.3m down the dip/plunge of mineralisation at Mallee Bull primarily for metallurgical testwork purposes; mineralisation was found to extend to a greater depth than previously established, with mineralisation intercepted at more than 800m below surface.

RC/Diamond resource definition drilling commenced at Mallee Bull, with the aim of completing a maiden resource estimate by about May 2014.

Additional DHEM survey at Butcher's Dog drillhole BDDD001 confirms the presence of the very strong ~170 millisecond time constant offhole anomaly, the strongest anomaly identified at Mallee Bull/Butcher's Dog to date.

11 RC drillholes completed at the Apollo Hill gold project in WA; designed to test for southeastern extension of the main mineralized zone; significant results include 21m @ 1.27 g/t from 91m including 5m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 91m and 8m @ 1.33 g/t Au from 123m.

Plans for March quarter 2014

Completion of Stage 3 exploration at Mallee Bull; commencement of 50:50 JV; resource definition drilling to continue.

Ongoing regional exploration at Cobar Superbasin Project and work-up of priority targets.

Exploration

Mallee Bull Project: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 85%, CBH earning 50%). Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation.

Exploration

Drilling and exploration continued at the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic discovery, 100km south of Cobar in NSW. As previously announced, Mallee Bull is subject to an $8.3m farm-in agreement with CBH Resources Ltd.

Activities during the quarter proceeded under Stage 3 of the Mallee Bull farm-in agreement, which will see CBH Resources Limited spend a further $3.33 million on exploration at Mallee Bull, taking CBH's interest in the project to 50%. Peel remains operator throughout the farm-in process. At the time of reporting it was estimated that CBH will have completed its farm-in requirement by March 2014. Accordingly Joint Venture planning is now underway for 50:50 Joint Venture arrangements.

Recent activities at the Mallee Bull/Gilgunnia Project have comprised diamond and RC drilling targeted towards identifying new mineralisation away from Mallee Bull where encouraging results were returned. Late in the quarter resource definition drilling commenced at Mallee Bull with the aim of completing a maiden resource estimate by May 2014.

Drilling

MBDD012, MBDD015, MBDD016 Drillhole Summaries

Drillhole MBDD012 (483.3m) was designed to test a moderate offhole DHEM anomaly identified at ~250m downhole in MBDD011. This anomaly is located in close proximity to significant lead-zinc-silver mineralisation observed over a 4m zone at ~390m in MBDD011. MBDD012 intercepted a broad zone of variable, but generally weak, sphalerite-galena-pyrrhotite-pyrite mineralisation occurring as veinlets from ~350m downhole to end-of-hole. This mineralisation is coincident with an increase in chlorite alteration. Follow-up DHEM surveying of MBDD012 indicated that the primary DHEM target remained untested and follow-up drilling with MBDD015 and MBDD016 targeting this anomaly was completed.

MBDD015 (168.3m) was terminated prematurely following drilling problems.

MBDD016 (395.4m) was drilled from effectively the same collar position as MBDD015 and intercepted several locally strong though limited copper mineralised zones: 1m @ 4.95% Cu, 49 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 275m and 1m @ 5.49% Cu, 41 g/t Ag, 0.88 g/t Au from 288m. These intercepts occur more than 400m east of Mallee Bull. The mineralisation was accompanied by moderate to strong chlorite and patchy but intense sericite alteration with plentiful high-strain quartz veins. The mineralisation is identical to the Mallee Bull footwall/stringer style mineralisation and occurs within rhythmically bedded mudstone through sandstone.

Figure 2 – MBDD016 - 1m @ 4.95% Cu, 49 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 275m

Figure 3 – MBDD016 - 1m @5.49% Cu, 41 g/t Ag, 0.88 g/t Au from 288m

A DHEM survey was carried out in November on MBDD016 which recorded a series of four anomalies between 250 and 295m which verified that the hole had intersected the target DHEM conductor. The source of the anomalies is interpreted to be caused by a series of en echelon conductors plunging to the north. Mineralisation is open up and down dip and follow-up exploration is planned in due course. The discovery of strong footwall/stringer-style mineralisation at distance from Mallee Bull is considered very encouraging.

MBDD013, MBDD014, MBRCDD007, MBRCDD008 Drillhole Summaries

Drillholes MBDD013 (618.5m) and MBDD014 (799.9m) were completed targeting a recently identified geophysical anomaly generated from a magnetotelluric (MT) survey completed over the Mallee Bull and Butcher's Dog prospect areas. Preliminary 2D modelling of the data identified an anomaly located approximately 500m north of Mallee Bull. Drillholes MBDD013 and MBDD014 targeted this anomaly.

Both drillholes intercepted minor zones of variable, narrow, chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyritearsenopyrite-sphalerite mineralisation similar in style to Mallee Bull footwall/stringer mineralisation with associated chlorite and silica-alteration, however no significant assays were returned.

3D modelling of the MT data was received during the quarter and indicated that the anomaly's position was possibly further south than originally interpreted. Drillholes MBRCDD007 (459.5m) and MBRCDD008 (489.5m) were targeted toward this new position and completed recently. Again both drillholes encountered broad zones of minor mineralisation including pyrrhotite-sphalerite veinlets and alteration comprising chlorite and silica. No significant assays were returned. DHEM surveying of MBRCDD007 was completed and interpretation indicates that the MT anomaly may be explained by a small inhole response that reflects a zone of increased pyrrhotite mineralisation.

MBDD017, MBDD017W1, MBDD017W2 Drillhole Summaries

Drillhole MBDD017 and wedges, drilled primarily to provide fresh material for additional metallurgical testwork purposes, was collared in an up-dip position above Mallee Bull and drilled down the dip of mineralisation at Mallee Bull. As expected, extensive zones of mineralisation were intersected, however it should be noted that given the down-dip nature of drilling no true width estimates are possible.

MBDD017 was also designed to stay within mineralisation for as long as possible in an attempt to extend the known depth of mineralisation. In this regard, MBDD017W2 was successful in intercepting stringer-style chalcopyrite mineralisation to about 825m downhole, or more than 800m below surface. This represents an increase of more than 50m in vertical extent of Mallee Bull mineralisation.

Also of note in MBDD017 was the intersection of a shallow, high grade copper interval within the hanging wall massive sulphide zone grading 13m @ 5.5% Cu, 59 g/t Ag, 1.68 g/t Au from 225m (~215m below surface). As previously noted, no true width can be determined from this intercept, however this zone does appear to correlate well with high copper values seen in several other nearby drillholes. Importantly, this area appears lightly drilled offering the potential to define an area of high-grade copper-rich mineralisation close to surface. Accordingly, further drilling around this zone is planned.

Only partial assays for MBDD017 have been received with the remainder pending.

Resource Definition Drilling

In line with exploration planning, drilling recently recommenced at the Mallee Bull deposit as part of a resource definition drilling programme to enable a maiden resource estimate by May 2014. This drilling is designed to fill some of the large area gaps within the existing Mallee Bull drilling dataset.

Initially, drilling is being targeted at a zone of low drill density at about the 350m below surface level. Several drillholes are also planned to test for a shallow high-grade component to Mallee Bull recently identified in MBDD017.

Geophysics

Butcher's Dog drillhole BDDD001 was recently re-surveyed with a DHEM Crone dB/dt borehole probe to cross-check a major response between 680m to 1020m from a previous DHEM survey completed in September using the DigiAtlantis borehole probe. Both data was found to record a strong on-hole anomaly centred at around 900m down hole, verifying the testing of the conductor, as well as the highly encouraging 170 millisecond time constant off-hole anomaly previously identified. This off-hole anomaly is the strongest identified to date at the Mallee Bull/Gilgunnia project. The plate models derived from modelling of previous data produced a very good fit to the Crone data, corroborating the interpretation of data from BDDD001 and demonstrating the consistency of DHEM. With this additional DHEM survey refining the geometry of the identified conductor, drill testing at Butchers Dog is anticipated for the next quarter.

Cobar Superbasin Project: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 100%).

Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation.

Progress of Peel's 100%-owned Cobar Superbasin project (including Sandy Creek) continued during the quarter with recent activities comprising surface geochemical surveys and geological mapping.

An extensive review of historical data and preliminary field work has been undertaken on Peel's broader Cobar Superbasin Project, and this has resulted in the definition of many prospects that warrant closer scrutiny. More than 10,000 multi-element portable XRF samples have been collected since exploration commenced.

Historic soil and RAB results for the Sandy Creek prospect were analysed, and they indicated a strong north-south arsenic trend in the soils above the vertical extrapolation of the Sandy Creek mineralised zone (10m @ 1.6% Cu from historic drillhole SCDD02). At the Wirlong and Red Shaft prospects, a oneday reconnaissance trip identified copper-lead-zinc-arsenic anomalism in soils and rocks surrounding both prospects. Review of historic data from old shafts at Wirlong also showed evidence of a welldeveloped copper oxide zone developed in copper rich sediments and veins. Grab sampling at the prospect confirmed this, returning values of up to 12% Cu and up to 97ppm Ag. Preliminary rock chipping at Red Shaft showed anomalous Cu, Au and Ag, as well as high arsenic values. Further geochemical work within these two prospects will follow in the next quarter.

Apollo Hill Project: Gold; Northeastern Goldfields WA (PEX 100%).

Targets: Archaean gold deposits.

An RC drilling programme comprising of 11 holes was completed over the Apollo Hill licences E39/1198 and M39/296 in November 2013 to test for extensions to the main mineralised zone, drilling a total of 1655m. Results indicated the presence of mineralisation extending to the south-east of the inferred resource at Apollo Hill Main Zone, with an evident continuation of quartz veining and ankerite alteration within the felsic schist-meta basalt contact that has been associated with the bulk of

mineralisation at Apollo Hill to date. Significant intercepts within M39/296 included 21m @ 1.27 g/t from 91m at PARC22 including 5m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 91m and 8m @ 1.33g/t Au from 123m, 2m @ 2.79 g/t Au from 101m at PARC25, and from within E39/1198 included 25m @ 0.62 g/t from 37m at PARC32 including 5m @ 1.18 g/t at the Ra Zone.

Figure 4 – Apollo Hill Project Tenements, Geology and Topography

Peel is encouraged by these results and future activities planned for Apollo Hill involve further drilling to better outline the extent of the gold resource at Apollo Hill. With continued drilling in due course, Peel aims to update the resource model at Apollo hill with an increase in contained ounces and strengthen the potential for future economic extraction. Currently, the resource estimate updated in September 2011 stands at 17.2Mt at 0.9 g/t 505,000 ounces of gold using a 0.5 g/t cut-off.

Additional metallurgical testwork regarding Apollo Hill mineralisation was also undertaken during the quarter, however results remained pending at the time of reporting. Field reconnaissance has also been completed over the project licence areas and a number of additional prospects have been identified for follow-up exploration work.
