Twin Hills - Texas Silver Project

MACMIN LIMITED 2002-09-06 ASX-SIGNAL-G

HOMEX - Brisbane

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
* Twin Hills silver system (Texas Silver Project), based on anomalous
surface silver geochemistry, more than doubled in size to 2.6kms in
length, and is still open to the south and southeast.

* Phase 2 drilling completed at proposed Twin Hills silver mine with
the discovery of additional silver/gold mineralisation.

Surface exploration has substantially increased the potential silver
mineralised system at Twin Hills. This is a very encouraging
development and doubles the size of the previously known area which
will be explored for silver at Twin Hills. Extensive additional
drilling will be required in the future to determine if economic
grades of silver occur in this extended zone.

Soil sampling which located the extended zone was undertaken as part
of the ongoing exploration program to locate further silver
mineralisation in the Texas area. Approximately 300 samples of 'B'
horizon soil were collected and analysed by ALS-Chemex Laboratory in
Brisbane for silver, gold, copper, lead, zinc, bismuth, molybdenum,
antimony and arsenic.

A coherent silver, gold, antimony anomaly was defined, extending in
excess of 1.5km south from the Twin Hills Mine lease and up to 400m
in width. Maximum silver in soil value was 19.8g/t. The anomaly,
named "Twin Hills South", is still open to the south and east. The
silver values in soil at Twin Hills South are of slightly lower
values than in the high outcrop area of Twin Hills but this is as
expected as Twin Hills South is largely soil covered with very
limited outcrop. The enclosed Plan shows the geochemical anomaly and
its relationship to the original silver anomaly at Twin Hills and to
the historical Silver Spur Mine. The position of the proposed Phase 1
pit is included for scale.

Phase 2 drilling to extend and upgrade drill Indicated Resources and
Reserves has been successful. The drilling located a new zone of
silver mineralisation on the eastern side of the pit (Technical
Report, 30th June 2002 to ASX), beneath the eastern pit wall. This
zone extends 100m north-south centered on section 4175N. Drill
intersections of the higher grade mineralisation (cut off 60g/t
silver), beneath the floor of the Phase 1 pit such as 22m at 109g/t
silver between 100 and 122m downhole in hole THR 17 (co-ords 4167N,
2584E) and 14m at 115g/t silver between 74 and 88m downhole in hole
THR (co-ords 4151N, 2551E) show that silver mineralisation also
continues at depth.

Section 4175N is enclosed to visually illustrate this extended zone
of silver mineralisation in relation to the original Phase 1 pit
outline, and to a possible new conceptual pit outline. The new
conceptual pit will allow access to both deeper mineralisation,
referred to above, and to the, eastern mineralisation. A
re-calculation of Indicated Resources within Phase 1 and Phase 2
zones should be completed by early October and new Reserves later in
October. Reserves will require pit optimisation by our engineering
consultants before being finalised.

Drilling is planned to continue throughout the last quarter and will
continue to target the Phase 3 zone at Twin Hills followed by, Twin
Hills South, Mt Gunyan and other possible silver epithermal systems
at Fenceline, Back Creek North and Branch Creek Prospects.
