low volume??, page-3

Surprise surprise for once good news is kept under wraps.

See this mornings infil drill results very encouraging as are the plans to release updated resource early in the NY and a pre feasibility for open pit mining first qtr and acquisition of further leases.

Remember ATX is backed by the powerful CSM with a strong cash flow. Although CSM is primarily to spend money drilling for Nickel (due to start shortly) I am sure they could be pursuaded to help with Gold if required.

RESULTS OF INFILL DRILLING AT THE MOUNT
ACQUISITION OF NEW MINING TENEMENTS AT THE MOUNT
The Board of Austminex is pleased to advise that further high-grade gold assays have been
received from infill RC drilling at The Mount, with best results including:-
4m @ 37.9 g/t gold
3m @ 6.2 g/t
2m @ 7.0 g/t
3m @ 12.7 g/t
2m @ 11.7 g/t
The current program of infill drilling is expected to be completed this month, bringing drill
density to 40 x 40 metres, and up to 20 x 20 metres in areas which appear to have potential for
short-term open-pit development. A revised resource will be announced early in the new year,
and a pre-feasibility study is planned to start in the March Quarter.
Acquisition of New Mining Tenements
An option to acquire three Prospecting Licenses close to the north-eastern boundary of The
Mount has been entered into (see plan attached). The terms of the Option are $10,000 option
fee, with a right to exercise the option and own 100% interest by payment of $30,000 within 12
months.
These tenements cover an anticlinal fold in the same stratigraphy as that found in the synclinal
fold which hosts the known Mount mineralisation. The sub-vertical planar structures hosting
gold mineralization at the Mount are parallel to the axial plane of the fold and are thought
to have formed during folding, providing access for mineralising fluids.
Statement of Competence

Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), who is defined as a Competent
