EXPLORATION

As reported in the ASX announcement dated 10 July 2017, the Company completed the second stage of drilling at the Mt Garnet Deeps project. The Mt Garnet Deeps Project is a conceptual target parallel to the Mt Garnet underground mine. Further drilling from underground may be conducted to increase confidence in the resource, initially in the upper section of this project.

Further drilling of the Gillian Zinc prospect, located 9 km south of Mt Garnet, is planned for the September quarter to follow up two holes drilled during the quarter. Poor drilling conditions prevented the target sulphide zone being reached for these holes, although reasonable grades of oxide zinc were intercepted. The drilling program is targeting conceptual zinc potential located at depth beneath the Gillian Tin Project.

Drilling at the Einasleigh project has commenced and will also continue for the remainder of the year. The first drilling program at the Chloe prospect commenced during the quarter.

A 14 room camp has been established at Einasleigh to reduce travel time for the exploration team.

CORPORATE

On 19 May 2017, Baal Gammon Copper Pty Ltd (BGC) initiated legal action in the Supreme Court of Queensland against Blair Pleash and Kathleen Vouris, (the former Administrators of the Company), the Company, Snow Peak Mining Pty Ltd (SPM) and Cyan Stone Pty Ltd (Cyan) seeking orders that the Deed of Company Arrangement be terminated and the Company and SPM be placed into liquidation (refer ASX announcement 6 July 2017).

The Company considers BGC's claim to be opportunistic and of doubtful foundation and will defend this action vigorously. Together with SPM and Cyan, the Company has appointed King & Wood Mallesons as solicitors in this action. The matter appeared in the Supreme Court of Queensland for directions on 20 June 2017 during which BGC were requested to file and serve a Statement of Claim by 4 July 2017. The Company filed and served an application for security of costs on 26 June 2017. The Company will keep shareholders informed of any developments.

The Company's auditors, KPMG, continued to progress their audit and review of the Company's 30 June 2016 annual financial report and 31 December 2016 half year financial report during the quarter.
