Third Quarter Activities Report
QUARTERLY REPORT SEPTEMBER 2002
HIGHLIGHTS
SEPON PROJECT 80% OXIANA, 20% RIO TINTO
GOLD
Construction is on schedule for plant commissioning end 2002. In-fill
and extension drilling at Discovery West, the first deposit to be
mined, has outlined high grade extensions.
Scout drilling at the nearby Luang Prospect has intersected
significant near surface gold mineralisation.
COPPER
The Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) was completed and preliminary
results announced demonstrating world class project characteristics.
The Khanong copper orebody is high grade, leachable, low cost and
long life with outstanding economics and strong upside. Financing and
more detailed engineering is now underway targetting plant
commissioning end 2004 and first production early 2005.
Scout drilling at the nearby Thengkham copper prospect intersected
high grade copper mineralization over 3 kilometres of strike. The
potential for a supergene deposit with similar characteristics to
Khanong is considered high.
CORPORATE
Oxiana listed options were 99% exercised by optionholders by the
expiry date of 30 September 2002, leaving 1% for the underwriters.
This added $59m to the treasury and completes the Sepon Gold Project
financing. Oxiana remains debt and hedging free.
