    Quarterly report ending September 2002
    Highlights

    All shareholder meeting resolutions passed unanimously completing the
    acquisition of the highly prospective Salman Gold Project located in Ghana,
    West Africa.
    Commencement of a comprehensive exploration program at Salman aimed at
    assessing the initial resource potential of the project. Previous exploration
    identified gold mineralization up to 350 metres in width and extending over
    4,000 metres along strike, with follow up RC drilling completed by BHP
    intersecting substantial zones of gold mineralization including:

    73m @ 2.8g/t gold from surface (Including 21m @ 8g/t gold)
    42m @ 3.2g/t gold from surface
    85m @ 2.2g/t gold from 20m

    Striker Resources completes bulk sampling and announces high grade diamond
    results from its Seppelt 2 kimberlite located less than 400 metres along
    strike from the Bollinger kimberlite.
    Final target generation completed for the Nabberu diamond project with
    drilling due to commence in November 2002.
    INTRODUCTION
    Activity within the September Quarter centered on formalizing the acquisition of the Salman
    Gold Project and preparing for the up and coming RC drill program. The Company’s General
    Meeting held on the 13 of August saw shareholders unanimously pass all resolutions,
    resulting in Adamus acquiring 90% of the Salman Gold Project. The September quarter also
    saw drill targets finalized at the Nabberu diamond project and the commencement of a full
    assessment of the impact on the Company’s Bollinger project, following Striker Resources
    announcement o f a high grade discovery at its Seppelt 2 kimberlite pipe.
    The Company’s technical team commenced exploration at Salman in mid September with
    regional soil sampling, infill Mobile Metal Ion sampling and geological mapping.
    Logistical preparations are currently being completed for the RC drilling program which is
    anticipated to commence in the fourth quartet of 2002. The focus for exploration will be to
    unlock the initial resource potential of the project through infill drilling of the existing zones
    of mineralization.


    ADAMUS RESOURCES LIMITED Quarterly Report-September 2002
    The recent announcement by Striker Resources regarding the results of their bulk sampling
    program at Seppelt 2 has had a major impact on our neighboring Bollinger project (fig 1).
    Striker Resources announcement detailed a diamond grade of 2.25 carats per tonne taken
    from a bulk sample o f the Seppelt 2 pipe, which is located less than 400m along strike from
    the kimberlitic zone Adamus recently identified at Bollinger. Strikers result has highlighted
    the potential for kimberlitic bodies in the immediate Bollinger area to carry world class
    diamond grades.
    The September quarter also saw Adamus launch a new and comprehensive website that
    details all aspects of the Company’s projects as well as investor and corporate information.
    The Company invites all shareholders and interested parties to monitor the Company’s
    activities at www.adamusresources.com.au. The website also contains an enquiry section
    inviting interested parties to forward their e-mail addresses, allowing future announcements
    to be communicated efficiently.
    PROJECT REVIEW
    Salman Gold Project
    The Salman Project is located in southern Ghana, West Africa , approximately 300km west of
    Ghana’s capital city of Accra. The project consists of a number of tenements covering a total
    area of 84 square kilometres accessible via 50km of all weather roads from the port city of
    Takoradi. Adamus owns 90% of the Salman Project with the remaining 10% controlled by
    the Ghanaian government.
    The Salman Project is situated on the southern extension of the Ashanti Gold Belt, which is
    host to over of 60 M a of gold. The tenements themselves lie just 40km south of the world
    class deposits of Bogosu (3.3Moz) and Prestea (10.7Moz). Previous exploration at Salman
    involving a number of surface geochemical sampling programs identified a zone of robust
    gold mineralization up to 350 metres in width and extending over 4,000 metres along strike.
    Follow up trenching within the anomaly produced substantial intersections including lOOm
    @ 6.lg/t gold. Subsequent RC drilling by BHP on broad spaced lines (300-500 metres apart)
    intersected substantial zones of gold mineralization including:
    SRC 17 73m @ 2.8g/t gold from surface( Including 21m @ 8g/t gold)
    SRC 18 42m @ 3.2gIt gold from surface
    SRC 82 85m @ 2.2g/t gold h m 20m
    The width and grade of mineralization and its positioning close to surface suggests that the
    project possesses the necessary criteria for hosting a significant and potentially economic
    gold resource.
    The September quarter saw the Company formally acquire the Salman project and commence
    a series of exploration programs including logistical preparation for the up and coming RC
    drilling program Exploration initially involved infill MM1 sampling over the central and
    southern zones designed to further delineate RC drill targets. A program of regional soil
    sampling targeting parallel structures to the east of the main zone as well as extensions to the
    north of the main zone was also initiated within the quarter. Results Boom both geochemical
    programs are expected early in the fourth quarter. Detailed geological mapping over the main
    trend of mineralization has also been completed.

    ADAMUS RESOURCES LIMITED Quarterly Report - September 2002
    The RC program consists O f 4000 metres of drilling designed to infill the existing drill lines
    which at present are spaced up to 500 metres apart. The drilling will focus on delineating
    mineralization in the Lop 60 metres, as this broadly represents the oxide zone, The program
    has been scheduled for the middle of the fourth quarter with initial results expected at the end
    of the quarter.
    Bollinger Project
    The Bollinger Project is located 200km north-west of Kununma in the Kimberley region of
    Western Australia. The tenements consist of granted prospecting licences covering an area of
    approximately 20 square kilometres and are 100% controlled by Adamus.
    The Bollinger Project is situated, on the southern extension of the Seppelt Fracture Zone, a
    10 kilometre long lineament that hosts a number o f diamondiferous kimberlites, and
    drill testing by Adamus of the Seppelt Fracture Zone within the northern part o f P80/1360
    numerous untested indicator mineral and geophysical anomalies. Previous reconnaissance
    and P80/1361 led to the identification of a kimberlitic fissure zone >500rn long, referred to BS
    Bollinger 1. Although a bulk sample has never been taken from Bollinger 1 the presence of
    diamonds in soil samples and indicator mineral (chromite) chemistry indicates that it is
    highly prospective for diamonds.
    Recently Striker Resources announced a grade of 2.25 carats per tonne obtained from the
    bulk sampling of the Seppelt 2 h b e r l i t e pipe, This result has highlighted the high grade
    potential of kimberlite pipes within the Seppelt Fracture Zone. As the high grade discovery
    is located only a few hundred metres along strike from Bollinger (fig 1) the result has a
    substantial impact on the prospectively of Bollinger kimberlite. Should Striker Resources
    ultimately define an economic resource at Seppelt 2 the potential impact on the Bollinger
    project is extremely significant.
    Nabberu Project
    The Nabbem Project is located in the Eastern Nabbem Basin of Western Australia
    approximately 920 kilorne@es north-east o f Perth. Thc combined tenement area covers
    approximately 1,440 square kilometres.
    Exploration completed by previous companies identified B number of diamondiferous
    lamprophyres. Bulk sampling of these bodies produced commercial size, gem quality
    diamonds, but to date a commercial grade has not bccn achieved. The exploration gound
    surrounding the existing diamondiferous lamprophyes remains largely unexplorcd with a
    number of priority targets still to be tested.

    ADAMWS RESOURCES LIMITED Quarterly Report - September 2002
    Following the identification of a number of magnetic anomalies considered prospective for
    diamondiferous lamprophyres the Company selected several priority targets for follow up
    exploration. The targets are generally in close proximity to, or structurally associated with,
    the existing diamondiferous Jewill pipes. An aircore drilling program has been designed to
    test these targets for the presence of diamondiferous lamprophyes. The Company anticipates
    commencing the drill program in the fourth quarter with results made available at the earliest opportunity.
