SUMMARY

Newcrest Mining Limited commenced exploration for gold rich deposits at Red Hills,
on being granted EL9/2005 on the 1st July 2005.  The tenement encompasses 8 km2 of 
prospective Mount Read Volcanics approximately 1 km to the east of the Henty gold
mine from 3 km south west of Mt Murchison down to approximately 1 km to the north
of Lake Westwood.  

Exploration in this first year of work focused on drilling underneath known anomalous
stratigraphy, which has been tested by previous exploration companies at only relatively
shallow levels.  A total of two diamond drill holes, (NCT006 – NCT007) were completed for
1,511 m.  Soils, rock chips, mapping were also completed.

Work planned for the second year of exploration will be to conduct further drilling of 
geological, geochemical and/or geophysical anomalies established from the surveys 
conducted in this reporting period, and those from previous explorers.
