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 second 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, (NCT009 – NCT010) were completed for
1,099.7 m.  Soil and rockchip sampling was also completed.

Work planned for the third year of exploration will focus on target generation with limited
geological, geochemical and/or geophysical surveys to establish anomalies and to refine targets
generated from the surveys conducted during this reporting period, and from those of previous 
explorers.
