Duketon Gold Project Feasibility Study
Moolart Well Deposit
Geology and Resource Definition
During the quarter 158 holes for a total of 13,044 metres were completed at the Moolart Well gold deposit and associated water exploration areas (Table 1). The drilling was aimed at providing further stratigraphic, structural and metallurgical information for the deposit, and sterilisation drilling for proposed infrastructure sites.

Moolart Well Resource Update
During the quarter independent consultant Golder Associates Pty Ltd completed a resource update for the Company’s 100% owned Moolart Well gold deposit. The resource calculation includes a complete reassessment of all drilling, sampling and survey data since the commencement of project, a detailed QAQC (Quality Assurance Quality Control) review and includes all drilling completed up to July 2007.
The updated Moolart Well gold resource is presented in Table 2 below. The Moolart Well resource has increased to 1.564 million ounces and total resources for the Duketon Gold Project have increased to 2.846 million ounces of gold in all categories. Significantly, 686 koz above a 0.5g/t cut-off grade are now classified as Inferred Resource at Moolart Well, sufficient to consider an initial mine design for the project.
The resource model was based on 25m (north-south) x 12.5m (east-west) x 5m (vertical) blocks. The laterite resource was calculated by constrained ordinary kriging and the oxide resource by indicator kriging within a 0.1g/t outline. The influence of high grade assays in all zones was reduced by adjusting block weighting parameters.
The Laterite Zone resource contains 462 koz above a 0.5g/t cut-off grade down to approximately 20m vertical depth and is all classified within the Indicated category. The laterite mineralisation in the Boston area to the north has not yet been calculated, and is expected to be added to the inventory shortly. Further evaluation of the laterite grade variography is currently underway and should allow re-classification of a significant proportion of the laterite resource into the Measured category shortly. Significantly higher

grade zones in several locations within the laterite resource sheet (up to 11m at 6.4 g/t gold at Lancaster) allow maximisation of early project cashflow scheduling through the priority mining of these areas.

The Oxide Zone resource contains 611 koz above a 0.5g/t cut-off grade. Infill drilling on 50m x 25m centres in the southern area has significantly increased the continuity of lode systems and consequently converted 35% of the resource into the Indicated category, mainly from the southern Lancaster and Stirling areas. Further infill drilling in the northern part of the deposit is expected to significantly increase lode continuity, overall resources and resource grade as the influence of high grade intersections increases.
A small Sulphide Zone resource has been calculated extending from the base of weathering to approx. 90m vertical depth on a lode system in a part of the Stirling Central area. This particular target was drilled to establish general structure and continuity of the lodes in the area.
The effect of different cut-off grades on the Moolart Well resource is indicated in Table 3. Further resource additions at Moolart Well are expected to come from continuing infill drilling in the northern areas, and from expansion of the sulphide zone drilling at depth.

Mocha Nickel Prospect (Regis 100%)
Diamond drillhole CRDD007 at the Mocha prospect tested a strong TEM anomaly in an isolated position. The hole intersected a diorite-pyroxenite sequence containing 153m of sulphides including 17.6m of massive sulphides, and cumulate-textured pyroxenitesmagnetite rocks with sulphide matrix. This rock sequence is highly prospective for nickelcopper-platinum group element mineralisation, unrelated nickel deposits elsewhere in the Archaean of Western Australia. Summary results are presented in Table 9 below, where extensive thicknesses of iron contained within magnetite and within iron-sulphudes were intersected. No significant nickel, copper or platinum group elements were detected but a significant intersection of 123m at 35% Fe (iron) was returned. Further investigation of these zones and the surrounding sequence is underway.
