Lennons Find Project – Base Metals, East Pilbara WA (95% Laconia)

M45/368, E45/3293

Drilling has commenced on Laconia’s maiden drilling program at its Lennons Find base metals project, near Marble Bar.

The Company is intent on increasing the Resource base at Lennons Find. The drill program will be a 2,000 metre Reverse Circulation program, which will test the Tiger, Hammerhead South, Hammerhead North, Shovel Nose, Mako and Bronze Whaler EM anomalies (refer to Figure 1). Results from the drill program will be released as soon as they become available.

The project currently has a JORC Code Inferred Resource of 853,000 tonnes grading 7.7% Zn, 1.8% Pb, 0.7% Cu and 115g/t Ag , at the Hammerhead sulphide zone, and potentially may host an additional five volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style base metals prospects.

The Lennons Find project area has the potential to host VMS/VHMS-type base metals and silver deposits. These style deposits often occur in clusters, and the Company is of the view that there may be the potential for significant tonnages of ore at the Tiger, Hammerhead South and Bronze Whaler prospects, where there are ore grade intercepts in historic drilling to a vertical depth of 2030 metres below gossaneous and copper oxide stained outcrop.

There is also the potential for new discoveries to be made on coincident EM and geochemical targets at Shovel Nose and Mako, at the same stratigraphic horizon as the current resource at Hammerhead.

Also at Lennons Find, a review of the resource model has indicated significant silver mineralisation, near surface. Based on current commodity prices, the Zinc Equivalent* grade is 16% which greatly enhances the prospectivity of the project.

Precious metals are commonly associated with VHMS deposits and it is reasonable for gold mineralisation to be associated with the zinc/copper/lead/silver assemblage found at the Lennons Find project. Gold has been sporadically assayed throughout the current resource, but it will now be systematically incorporated in the assay suite in any new drilling conducted by Laconia.

Figure 1: Lennons Find Project, EM targets over maximum down hole copper in existing drill holes and Cu in soils anomalism, June 2011.

Given the historically high price for precious metals at present, Laconia has commenced a shallow Reverse Circulation drilling program to define the extent of mineralisation. This will be conducted in conjunction with resource definition drilling on the current resource at Lennons Find. Significant silver mineralisation along strike at the Bronze Whaler, Grey Nurse and Tiger prospects at the project also exists.

About the Lennons Find Base Metal Project

Laconia acquired a 95% interest in the Lennons Find project (M45/368) from Jabiru Metals Limited in March 2011. At the same time it announced the acquisition of the nearby Yandicoogina base metals project from Shaw River Resources (ASX: SRR). The two projects are located approximately 40 km from Marble Bar on the southern edge of the Mt Edgar Granitoid Complex, in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia (see Projects Location Map attached).

Within the project areas outcropping gossanous veins with elevated base metals grades occur at a consistent horizon in the Duffer Formation, and it is this horizon which is the current focus for Laconia’s base metals exploration.

*Zinc Equivalent Calculation

Zinc equivalent (Zn Eq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent Zinc percentage. These results are taken from the Lennons Find JORC Code Inferred resource and no allowance is made for metallurgical recoveries. No definitive metallurgical test work has been conducted on the project at this stage of its development, however, it is the Company’s opinion that the elements expressed here have a reasonable potential to be recovered as evidenced in similar deposit styles in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Zinc Equivalent conversion factors and long term price assumptions used are as follows:

Zinc Equivalent Formula = Zn% + (Cu(%)x4) + (Pb(%)x0.9) + (Ag(ppm)x0.0364)

Price Assumptions: Zn(US$1.00/lb), Cu(US$4.00/lb), Pb(US$0.90/lb), Ag(US$25/oz)

Yandicoogina Project – Base Metals, East Pilbara WA

(100% Laconia)

At the Yandicoogina project, the previous owners (Shaw River Resources, ASX: SRR) conducted a comprehensive rock chip sampling program in November 2010, and collected 123 samples which were analysed for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, Mo, Sb, Sn, and W.

The program tested areas containing ferruginous shears and gossans and historical gold workings. It outlined an area of anomalous gold and base metal geochemistry centred approximately 3km east of the Marble Bar–Nullagine road (see Table 1 below for significant gold and base metal rock chip sample results).

PAGE 4

Laconia Resources – June 2011 Quarterly Report

Exploration results from Yandicoogina confirm the prospectivity of the Duffer Formation to contain significant base metal and precious metal mineralisation.

About the Yandicoogina Project

The Yandicoogina Project (E45/3293) is less than 10km SW along strike from the Lennons Find Project (Figure 1), 50km north of Nullagine and 46km southeast of Marble Bar. The area is easily accessible by numerous graded tracks and the Nullagine to Marble Bar road transects the western side of the Project.

The Yandicoogina Project includes a significant strike length (some 13km) of felsic volcanics and sediments of the Duffer formation, which host the Lennons Find Mineralisation. Within E45/3293 the Duffer Formation is known to host gossaneous stringers with elevated gold and base metal grades.

The Project lies adjacent to, and west of, the Yandicoogina gold mining centre which produced 199kg of gold from 3,293 tonnes of ore (yielding an average grade of 61.5g/t from 1897-1985). A number of shallow workings involving shafts, pits and local alluvial workings lie within the Project area.

An outline of the anomalous zone is presented in Figure 3. A number of high grade results outside the area defined in Figure 3 are associated with historical gold workings

Barramine Project – Gold and Base Metals, East Pilbara WA

(100% Laconia – excluding manganese and iron)

E45/3312, E45/3233, E45/3234

Laconia Resources has been granted $150,000 in funding in a co-founding arrangement under the WA State Government Exploration Incentive Scheme. Laconia will be required to match the $150,000 funding grant on a dollar for dollar basis on direct drill spending.

Laconia has identified four primary drill targets at its Barramine project from the Company’s detailed geochemical and geophysical surveys, that will test Mississippi Valley Type Deposits (MVT) and Volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) style deposits within the project area for base metal (Cu, Pb and Zn) and precious metal (Au and Ag) mineralisation (see figure 4 for proposed drilling locations).

The Company is delighted by this further recognition of the prospectivity of the Barramine region and the further validation of its comprehensive geological program conducted on the project to date. It is Laconia’s intention to drill test these targets in Q4 this year.

PAGE 6

Laconia Resources – June 2011 Quarterly Report

The program, to date, combined with regional geological mapping, petrography and PIMA alteration studies show the Barramine project has potential for various mineralisation styles. These include:

  • Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) – base metal (Pb and Zn) mineralisation associated with the overlying dolomite and chert breccias.

  • Volcanic associated – VHMS-style base metal (Cu, Pb and Zn) and precious metal (Au and Ag) mineralisation associated with the underlying mafic to intermediate (and felsic) volcanics and volcaniclastics.

  • Structurally controlled and replacement style hydrothermal gold (Cu and Ag) mineralisation within limestone and chert breccia units, similar to the Barramine and Camel Hump prospects, and

  • Epithermal-style gold-silver mineralisation.

The Barramine project’s geological position is along strike from known base metal occurrences of Barramine, Camel Hump, Ragged Hills and Braeside. Previous exploration has discovered anomalous zinc and copper in highly altered pyritic acid volcanics in a prospective geological environment for base metal mineralisation.

701 Mile Project – Gold and Base Metals, East Pilbara WA

(80% Laconia – excluding manganese and iron)

E52/2232, E52/2688

An auger drilling program is currently in progress. Approximately 1,800 auger holes have been planned to obtain samples for geochemical analysis. Large areas of the tenement are overlain by cover including alluvial wash, calcrete and sand. The program is 80% complete with initial assays results from this work expected in August.

The auger traverses have been planned on 400 x 400m spacing over areas of favourable geology proximal to magnetic structures moving to 800 x 800m spacing’s in other parts of the tenement.

The 701 Mile project lies approximately 80km southeast of Newman in WA within the north eastern portion of the Collier Basin (formally termed the Bangermall Basin) and is transected by a regionally significant structure called the Tangadee lineament.

PAGE 8

Laconia Resources – June 2011 Quarterly Report

The area has little previous exploration with the project scale aeromagnetics indicating a north easterly trending structural grain, interpreted to be a continuation of the Tangadee Lineament, with linear magnetic highs seemingly wrapping around mafic intrusions.

The project is prospective for structurally controlled mineralisation adjacent to mafic intrusions and also in differentiated basal portions of mafic sills.

Laconia is actively seeking avenues to advance this project including joint venture or farm-in proposals. Laconia is evaluating the results of a recent desk top study from engineering firm Engenium that looked at various processing, infrastructure and logistic option for project development (see ASX announcement, 4 February 2011).

The Mooletar Magnetite exploration target has been estimated at 240 million tonnes at an expected grade between 30 to 35% Fe. The Exploration Target sits within a tonnage range of 216- 264Mt, which is ±10% of the estimate of 240Mt.[2]

2 The potential quantity and grade of the Mooletar Project is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient drilling to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.

PAGE 9

Laconia Resources – June 2011 Quarterly Report

The Mooletar Magnetite Project lies approximately 330km east of Geraldton, adjacent to sealed roads, and approximately 125km from the proposed Mid-West infrastructure corridor rail system that would access the Oakajee Port infrastructure.

The Mooletar Magnetite Project is 100% owned by Laconia and comprises an area of 75km2 covering folded Archaean greenstone belt. The Project is situated over the eastern limb of the Mount Magnet greenstone belt and represents an area with little previous exploration proximal to a major gold producing area.

Kookynie Project - Gold, Kookynie Eastern Goldfields WA

(100% Laconia)

P40/1255, P40/1256 E40/260

A 12 hole, 1,200 metre Reverse Circulation drilling program was completed at the 100% owned Kookynie Gold Project, near Kalgoorlie.

The drill program commenced in March and was designed to test down dip and plunge extensions of previous intersections at the Lily Prospect within the Kookynie project area (below a line of old workings at the Lily Prospect) on P40/1255.

A conjugate reef system was identified with four angled holes from the drill program intersecting gold mineralisation in the footwall vein, and produced a best result of 2 metres @ 3.9g/t Au (including 1 metre @ 6.5g/t Au from 38 metres down hole), at hole KRC004. Significant intersections are presented below in Table 2.

The drill program was Laconia’s maiden drill campaign at the Kookynie project. The project is host to a number of old workings, including the Lily Prospect, and some significant intersections have previously been recorded at Lily which highlighted the prospectivity for the project to host small high-grade deposits.

The Kookynie project is located approximately 200km from Kalgoorlie (see Project Location Map attached), in the Melita Domain of the Keith–Kilkenny Tectonic Zone, within the NNW-trending Archaean Malcom greenstone belt. The Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone in the vicinity of Kookynie is a triangular shaped area hosting a succession of Archaean mafic-ultramafic igneous and metasedimentary rocks.
