SPECTACULAR 70M THICK INTERSECTIONS
MINERALISED TO END OF HOLE
______________________________________________________
Spectacularly thick channels have been delineated thus dramatically increasing
the length of channels outlined by drilling to 7km in length (up from the 850m
reported on 28 Sept. 2006).
The current drilling programme, which is finishing at the end of the month, has had 186
holes and 6473 metres completed (of a proposed 10,000m programme) in the south
eastern part of the Cooljarloo tenement.
To date six separate channels have been outlined exceeding 7km in aggregate in
length (refer to attached map).
A number of wide sheet like style mineralised occurrences (up to 500m in width) have
also been encountered. These are similar to the mineralisation being mined at the World
class Cooljarloo Mine only 3km to the south. These wide sheet like style mineralised
occurrences are generally grading between 3 and 6% (with highs of up to 15%) and
commonly sit above 18 metres depth. The channel style mineralisation, which is unusual
and previously unrecognized, commonly underlays and/or is adjacent to the sheet like
mineralisation.
The combination of both styles intersected in the current campaign have some
spectacular thicknesses with holes 718, 719, 748, 755, 896, and 897 standing out with
thicknesses varying between 24 and 70m with holes 747, 748, and 755 still being
mineralised at end of hole:
Hole 718 20415N 41348E 24m from 24m with grade 1.5-4.0% with highs of 10% HM
Hole 719 20600N 41387E 56m from 10m with grade 1.0-2.5% with highs of 4% HM
Hole 747 20100N 40830E 70m from 10m with grade 1.0-2.0% with highs of 5% HM
Hole 748 20100N 40830E 70m from 10m with grade 1.0-2.0% with highs of 7% HM
Hole 755 20500N 40760E 66m from 14m with grade 1.0-2.0% with highs of 3.5% HM
Hole 896 19816N 40950E 42m from 16m with grade 1.0-2.0% with highs of 8% HM
Hole 897 19812N 40990E 42m from 16m with grade 1.5-2.0% with highs of 4% HM

In addition, a new high grade strand has been located displaying similarities with the
shallow high grade 35AHD and 28000 strands announced on 8 August and 26
September. Hole 799 19400N 38595E has intersected 4m @39% from 2m depth and
the adjacent Hole 800 19400 33565E has intersected 2m @15% HM from 4m.
Further, and ongoing, ground magnetic interpretation has highlighted excellent
potential for a further 20km of strands in the eastern portion alone (see attached
map) which have not been properly drill investigated. The magnetic signatures of these
interpreted strands exhibit channel and sheet like features like those drilled in the
eastern parts of the Cooljarloo project (refer to attached map) and augers well for the
future economic potential of the Cooljarloo project. The remainder of the tenement is
being reinterpreted in light of the recent data and will be released as soon as possible.
All the grades announced in this ASX release reflect visual estimates from panning in the
field which gives the company a guide to the grade prior to receiving assay results from
the laboratory. In the past, in the channel area in the south eastern part of Cooljarloo,
visual panning has under-estimated the laboratory results by an average of about 50%.
These visual results are thought to be of such significance (because the company’s
experience strongly suggests that there will be a significant uplift in the assayed values
when returned) that the company believes is compelled, by force of the statutory
continuous disclosure regime, to release them without waiting (as might be expected to
be normal) for assay results.
