Subsequent to quarter end, shareholders approved the acquisition of the Projects and the Company has raised $ 2 million pursuant to a prospectus.

New Departure Project
Exploration and development work continued during the quarter with key milestones targeted for the current quarter following successful completion of the recent capital raising. Work undertaken included:
- plans for mine re-entry and processing plant logistics;
- sampling of surface expressions and old dumps with results due in Q1 2012;
- successful geophysical survey of claim package to identify replica 'footprints' of the mine area justifying extensional drilling program during 2012;
- identification and commencement of tender negotiations for mining contractor;
- pegging of additional adjacent ground to assist with mine expansion opportunities.
Site preparation and mine entry upgrade work is scheduled to commence this quarter in conjunction with the appointment of the mining contractor and planned production activities.

New Departure Project – Priority Ore Zone Targets and Land Position
As summarised above, during the quarter Abot acquired 20 rock chip samples and 217 soil samples on the New Departure project area. Rock samples taken from a vein on the project area assayed in excess of 500 g/T Ag with a 1.2% Zinc value. Surface soil samples returned values in excess of 20 ppm Ag. Abot Mining also completed an Induced Polarization and Resistivity survey consisting of 6 lines of 100 meter dipoledipole array surveying. Results from this IP survey indicate very good potential for a parallel, off-set mineralized zone at the New Departure project area. Additional surface soil and rock chip geochemistry and additional detail IP surveys are planned for the end of Q1, 2012 with a drill program planned to test this parallel zone for Q2, 2012.
Tabor Project
Abot continued the collation of additional historical data with a view to commence a mine re-entry feasibility programme during the current quarter.

Conjecture Project
A detailed analysis was undertaken of the key historical reserve report from 1981 on the Conjecture Project which included details of historical sampling and drilling undertaken and identified a number of reserve blocks. The analysis of the cross sections of the Conjecture Project revealed some previously identified blocks are much nearer to the surface than anticipated. It is intended that further drilling will be undertaken to confirm the potential of these blocks in Q2/3 2012.
