    Sorry to disappoint but things got a bit monotone this years, no glossy "achievements" that I could find, have to settle for a "REVIEW OF OPERATIONS":

    September 2012 Quarter
     Ongoing drilling and metallurgical work, continued to produce outstanding results and
    advanced the project closer to production.
     The Company expanded its presence in the region with the successful granting of additional
    tenements over the Browns Range Dome in the Northern Territory (NT).
     Completed a regional drilling program that continued to identify exciting new prospects across
    the Browns Range Dome area.
     Results from initial hydrometallurgical studies were received indicating the suitability of
    processing the Browns Range mineral concentrate to a high purity mixed rare earth oxide
    using conventional unit hydrometallurgical processes.
     The Company commenced the formal process to divest some of its non-HRE assets, in
    particular, the large and prospective Gardiner Tanami land package.
    December 2012 Quarter
     The Company released its initial JORC compliant resource of 1.44Mt @ 0.73% TREO
    comprising 10,500t TREO, with a key feature being the dominance of high value dysprosium
    and yttrium.
     The Company’s regional exploration activities also confirmed a number of new HRE targets at
    the Browns Range project, with the drilling activities confirming a pipeline of potential projects
    which could contribute to the mineral inventory.
     Northern Minerals reached an MOU for the off-take of HREO from Browns Range. The
    agreement was struck with a global leader in mining and materials for a portion of the Browns
    Range product.
     The Company successfully raised an additional $5 million to drive the next stages in the
    exploration and studies program.
    March 2013 Quarter
     The Company delivered a major funding initiative during the quarter, announcing a finance
    package to raise $58 million, subject to shareholder approval.
     The 2013 drilling program commenced with 20,000m targeting an expansion of the initial
    JORC resource.
     Metallurgical studies confirmed the ability to produce a high value, 92% mixed rare earth
    oxide.
     New airborne survey results identify geophysical anomalies (possible heavy rare earth targets)
    on recently granted tenements on the Northern Territory side of the Browns Range Dome.
    June 2013 Quarter
     The Company received initial assay results from its Gambit West prospect which included the
    highest grades received to date from the Browns Range Project.
     Early indications from diamond drilling at Wolverine indicated further extensions of
    mineralisation at depths below 150m and down to 300m.
     Positive results were received in optimisation of ore beneficiation and hydrometallurgical
    processes, following completion of a floatation mini-pilot plant to treat one tonne of ore.
     The Environmental Protection Authority set the level of assessment for the Project as an
    Assessment on Proponent Information which supports the current development timeline.
     Finalisation of the Scoping Study deferred to incorporate the updated resource due in October
    2013 and inclusion of the hydrometallurgical process step.
     Underwriting of the $26.5 million rights issue approved by shareholders and first instalment of
    funds received.
     $8 million secured via two interest free loans from Australian Conglin International Investment
    Group which was subsequently converted to equity as a part of the underwriting.

    0.73% TREO with 6000t "high value" yttrium definite highlight there.
