as well as silver). The mineralisation is hosted in epithermal-style quartz veins and shear zones within metasedimentary units, inferred to be the Ordovician Girilambone Group. The veins are associated with pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and gold.

RC drilling was completed at the Meritilga and Bluebell Prospects in June 2013 quarter (17 holes; 2,118m). Significant gold and silver intercepts were returned which were reported to the market in June 2013 (refer to ASX release entitled “Further Gold and Silver Hits for Clancy at Condobolin” dated 17/06/2013). The results have confirmed the existence of a fertile epithermal-style system at the Meritilga Prospect where the highgrade zone has been extended up and down dip, as well as along strike. There may be another lens at around 130 vertical metres depth and there is potential to define further mineralisation beyond that depth.

The maiden RC drill program in early 2012 returned several intercepts at Meritilga, including the discovery lens with an intercept of 4m @ 20 g/t Gold , 30.1 g/t Silver and 0.26% Copper (from 75m, CORC029). The latest drilling has extended the lens up- and down-dip and along strike.

Hole CORC041, drilled 25m down-dip, intersected 5m @ 7.89 g/t Gold , 22.28 g/t Silver and 14.04ppm Molybdenum (from 99m) within a broader interval of 15m @ 2.76 g/t Gold , 8.78 g/t Silver, 6.48ppm Molybdenum (from 90m, Figure 2).

Hole CORC044, drilled 15m along strike to the north of hole CORC029, intersected 4m @ 14.16 g/t Gold, 61.7 g/t Silver and 11.65ppm Molybdenum (from 83m) within a broader interval of 10m @ 5.78 g/t Gold , 26.79 g/t Silver , 0.1% Copper and 7.42ppm Molybdenum (from 80m).

At depth, intercepts become significantly wider in a lower-grade halo with higher concentrations of base metals, such as in hole CORC052: 29m @ 0.58g/t Gold , 7.07 g/t Silver and 5.95ppm Molybdenum (from 127m), including: 6m @ 1.29 g/t Gold , 19.97 g/t Silver, 0.23% Zinc and 6.58ppm Molybdenum (from 129m), and, 2m @ 2.5 g/t Gold , 15.42 g/t Silver and 34.65ppm Molybdenum (from 154m).

The lens has also been extended up-dip, and remains open, with intercepts such as 23m @ 0.36 g/t Gold, 46.15 g/t Silver and 0.1% Lead (from 24m, CORC043), including: 4m @ 0.83 g/t Gold, 226.93 g/t Silver and 0.33% Lead (from 42m); and, 28m @ 0.76 g/t Gold and 3.99 g/t Silver (from 26m, CORC042), including 6m @ 2.87 g/t Gold , 15.54 g/t Silver, 0.12% Lead (from 45m) . The high-grade silver intercept in hole CORC043 introduces an oxide-upgrade component to the system.

The drilling has further defined the geometry of the lenses, with the SE-dipping high-grade zone now projected to also plunge to the south. The area due south of holes CORC041, CORC052 and CORC053 (Figure 1) is currently open and will be targeted in a future drilling campaign.

The host structure for the mineralisation has also been delineated as shown in the cross-sections (Figures 2 and 3). The mineralised bodies are hosted within tightly folded Silurian volcaniclastic sandstone, which has been disrupted by SE-dipping, NE-SW oriented, thrusts. The mineralisation is inferred to have been emplaced syn to post-thrusting, possibly with multiple pulses of mineralisation. The source of the mineralisation is likely to be magmatic, with a correlation between gold and molybdenum in the system. Molybdenum is generally introduced into a system from magmatic sources. The implication is that the magmatic source is fertile, therefore the potential exists for further mineralisation at depth.

Drilling at the Bluebell Prospect followed up on hits received in 2012, such as 4m @ 0.51 g/t Gold, 1.24% Copper , 10.4 g/t Silver (from 105m, CORC039). Recent drilling intersected further shoot-style gold and copper, with the addition of silver and molybdenum, not previously seen:

Fairholme EL6552 and EL6915

(NSW, Clancy 100%; HPX earning 49% and funding 100%)

The Fairholme project covers 172km[2] of the Fairholme Igneous Complex and is located 12km north of the Cowal gold mine. The geophysical characteristics of the Fairholme Igneous Complex are similar to the Cowal Complex to the south, which hosts the Cowal gold mine (Barrick) and the Marsden copper-gold deposit (Newcrest). Clancy formed a new joint venture with High Power Exploration Inc. (HPX) during the quarter on the Fairholme project.

Clancy Exploration Limited (ASX: CLY)

Quarterly Activities Report for period ending 30 June 2013

Under the terms of the Agreement, HPX has the right to earn an initial 49% of the Fairholme project by funding A$1 million in exploration over one year, with a minimum spending commitment of A$500,000. HPX then will have the right to fund a further A$4 million in exploration over the subsequent two years with the aim of delineating a scoping study to take HPX’s stake to 65%. Clancy will manage the project on behalf of the joint venture partners during the first two earn-in phases. HPX can increase its stake to 80% or 85% by funding a Prefeasibility Study, depending on the cost of the study (refer to the ASX release dated 20/05/2013 for further details).

The joint venture will see the project-wide deployment of HPX’s proprietary IP system at Fairholme. Planning and permitting for the IP survey has been completed and the survey commenced in July 2013.

Cundumbul EL6661 and EL7399

(NSW, Clancy 100%; Mitsubishi earning 49% and funding 100%)

The Cundumbul project covers 204.9km[2] of prospective arc units in the Molong Volcanic Belt between Molong and Wellington. There are numerous intrusive complexes at Cundumbul that have anomalous copper and/or gold associated with them. During the quarter, 3D IP surveys were undertaken at the Mehruda and Bakers Swamp prospects and significant chargeable anomalies have been defined at both prospects. Gravity surveys at the Bakers Swamp, Mehruda and Andrews prospects and further mechanical auger drilling at Andrews prospect are planned for the September 2013 quarter with follow-up RC drilling of targets scheduled for the December 2013 quarter.

Genaren EL7927

(NSW, Clancy 100%; Mitsubishi earning 49% and funding 100%)

Genaren is located at the northern end of the Northparkes Igneous Complex 29km north of Rio Tinto's Northparkes copper-gold mine. During the quarter, mud-rotary pre-collar diamond drilling was undertaken to test geophysical targets defined in the previous quarter (9 holes; 1,079m).

The highest priority target was a coincident magnetic and gravity low which was tested by the first hole in the program. This hole intersected interbedded limestone breccia and polymictic conglomerate with strong alteration zones in the conglomerate (hematite flooding and carbonate veining), including strong zones of quartz-sericite-pyrite (phyllic) alteration with trace chalcopyrite. The phyllic alteration is significant in that it is the probable cause for the targeted magnetic low (magnetite destructive) and it may be associated with a porphyry system.

Results have been received and whilst no significant copper or gold intercepts were returned, pathfinder geochemistry suggests the drilling could be in the distal section of a porphyry system. Spectral logging of the drill core is in progress. Petrological studies will be undertaken in the September 2013 quarter and further geophysical surveys are being considered. Follow-up drilling is scheduled for the December 2013 quarter after crop harvest.

Currumburrama EL6784

(NSW, Clancy 100%; Mitsubishi earning 49% and funding 100%)

Currumburrama is located 40km east of West Wyalong and covers a large basement magnetic complex that is inferred to be the Ordovician Macquarie arc based on magnetic and gravity data. During the quarter, mud-

rotary pre-collar diamond drilling was undertaken to test geophysical, geochemical and structural targets defined previously (6 holes; 979m).

The first hole CBMD001 intersected a 7m zone with approximately 10% fine grained sulphides and coincident elevations in Mo and As from 154m. The origin of the sulphides will be investigated in the next quarter. Other holes intersected zones magnetite-epidote alteration suggesting the presence of nearby intrusions. However, no other significant assay results were returned. Spectral logging of drill core and further geophysical data processing is in progress.
