QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT – SEPTEMBER 2012
Unaly Hill (E57/420), Western Australia –Vanadium- Magnetite
The Company has previously announced a Vanadium-Magnetite Inferred Mineral Resource with over 86 million tonnes of 0.42% V2O5 at a 0.30% cut-off grade and confirmation of similar mineralization type to Quest Minerals Limited's (ASX:QNL) Victory Bore Deposit. There are two significant high-grade zones and the deposit remains open along strike and depth with the potential to increase the estimated resource.
Following the announcement of the Inferred Mineral Resource in 2011, the Company has been investigating opportunities to maximize on its return before any additional exploration takes place, given that the project tonnages are already substantial.
The Company is currently discussing with its mining consultants the processing of fine crushings by densimetric beneficiation involving jig and spirals, or heavy-media, rather than conventional fine-grind and magnetic concentration; this enables the transitional oxide zone as well as the primary BIF to be commercialized. The metallurgical validation of the densimetric process route is still under review and is expected to be completed during the next quarter.
Avdrant Rare Earths Project, Mongolia
On 5 July 2012, the Company announced that the results of the due diligence conducted on the Avdrant Rare Earths project in Mongolia did not support continued development of this project and, as the Company has been unable to replicate and verify the results and grades as presented to it when the project was introduced, the Company would not be proceeding.
Durminskoe Gold and Silver project, Far Eastern Russia
The Company continues to explore ways in which the returns from this project can be optimized and initiatives are underway to advance the project further. Current prices have added to the attractiveness of this project and the Company is reviewing with its consultants a number of options regarding its development.
The Company continues to actively pursue its objective of identifying value adding project opportunities and to create shareholder wealth. Discussions are ongoing but have not yet reached a conclusion.

Corporate
On 17 August 2012, the Company executed a Conversion of Creditor Deed, converting amounts owed by Magna Mining NL to equity in that Company. This Deed was subject to ratification at a meeting to be held no later than 2 months from the date of the Deed. The Deed has now lapsed and the Company is reviewing its position.
On 12 September 2012, Mr. David Semmens resigned as Company Secretary and was replaced by Mr. Stuart Third, as Company Secretary.
The Annual Report to shareholders was issued on 28 September 2012 and the Annual General Meeting is to be held on 7 November 2012.
