SUMMARY

Newcrest Mining Limited commenced exploration for gold rich deposits on being granted EL20/2003
on the 27th June 2003.  The tenement encompasses a large area of prospective Mount Read Volcanics
 from Mt Owen just outside of Queenstown, south to Mt Darwin.  

Exploration in this fourth year of work focused on refining untested geological-geochemical-geophysical
targets over prospective volcanic and volcaniclastic units using surface geochemical sampling.

2.8 line kms of grid lines, comprising four new lines and an extension of one pre-existing line
were constructed over the East Darwin prospect to extend the East Darwin grid, and a total of 135
C-horizon soil samples collected.  At the Mt Ellen prospect, 130 C-horizon soil samples were collected
over 3.9 line kms of pre-existing grid lines constructed during the previous reporting period.
 
Work planned in the fifth and final year of exploration will be to conduct further drilling of
geological, geochemical and/or geophysical anomalies generated during the current reporting period 
and/or by previous explorers.
