+++++++++++++++++++++++++ HIGHLIGHTS
SEPON PROJECT - 80% OXIANA, 20% RIO TINTO
GOLD
* The first gold pour was achieved at Sepon end December on schedule and the project is expected to be completed within budget. In January 2003 commissioning is proceeding according to plan and all targets for 2003 are expected to be met.
* Drilling at the margins of the gold orebodies presently being mined has outlined high grade extensions. Drilling at the nearby Luang and Vang Ngang prospects has discovered significant near surface oxide gold mineralization. Further results are pending and further drilling is in progress on an aggressive near mine and in field gold exploration program.
* A combination of high gold prices and successful drilling is likely to result in an expanded gold resource and reserve inventory.
* Oxiana gold remains debt and hedging free.
COPPER
* An optimisation study was undertaken on the Sepon Copper Project Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) and the Oxiana Board approved commencement of detailed design and engineering and preliminary site works.
* Finance structuring discussions commenced with international resource banks.
* The 60,000 t/a copper cathode project remains on schedule for major construction commencing October 2003 and first copper production March 2005.
