    International Goldfields Limited (IGS) is a gold focussed explorer with exciting projects located in the world class mining districts of Brazil, Mali, Cote d’Ivoire and Western Australia. This portfolio of properties offers excellent potential for the discovery and development of major mining projects. The June quarter has been very active for the company with exploration programs continuing at the Latin Gold project, field exploration at the new acquisitions in Mali and exploration programs completed at Plumridge. The Company is continuing its aggressive exploration program with an IP survey and diamond drilling program planned for Latin Gold, extensive geochemical sampling in West Africa including reconnaissance programs in Cote d’Ivoire and follow-up sampling in Mali. The Company is also continuing to review additional opportunities that are presented with the aim of acquiring high value projects that enhance the Company’s existing portfolio.

    GOLD EXPLORATION

    BRAZIL (91%)

    The Latin Gold project covers an area of over 3,200km2 in the highly prospective Alta Floresta Mineralised province of Brazil. The region has extensive artisianal mining (Garampeiro) workings extracting gold from alluvial deposits. Exploration commenced in the region in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s and resulted in the discovery of mineral resources at X1, Serrinha and Matupa located to the north of the Latin Gold project (Figure 1). During the quarter the Company received final assay results from the first diamond drilling campaign completed at the Latin Gold project located in Mato Grosso state, Brazil. A total of 19 diamond drill holes totalling 1,644m with drilling primarily targeting extensions to the Pe Quente prospect as well as first pass testing of 2 new target areas. Significant results include:

    High grade gold mineralisation intersected at “Pe Quente” prospect including:

    o 4m at 4.39 g/t gold from 86m – PQ019

    o 5.6m at 2.24 g/t gold from 64.4m – PQ014 o 1.15m at 5.18 g/t gold from 56.55m – PQ007

    High grade copper mineralisation intersected at “Pe Quente” prospect including:

    o 9m at 1.27% copper from 70m – PQ014 o 1.15m at 1.21% copper from 56.55m – PQ007

    The geological interpretation of the Pe Quente prospect is indicating a mineralised corridor with a north-northwest orientation, and internal to this structure a series of en-echelon structures with an east-west to northeast-southwest orientation. The overall strike length of the Pe Quente prospect exceeds 3km and may contain multiple mineralised structures within the zone (refer ASX announcement May and January 2011 for full details).

    An aggressive exploration program is continuing at the Latin Gold Project, with surface geochemical sampling targeting extensions to the mineralisation and detailed logging of the diamond drill core to improve the understanding of the host geology at the Pe Quente prospect. In addition mapping and geochemical sampling is continuing at the Boneca prospect and surrounding areas to improve targeting of future drilling programs.

    IGS is planning an IP survey of the Pe Quente area to assist in targeting the sulphide mineralised zones and delineating potential structural control on the gold mineralisation. The results of the geophysical surveys will be used to complement surface geochemical datasets and drill hole information to refine targeting for a proposed 5,000m drilling program planned to commence in late July.

    MALI

    The Company has acquired an extensive land position in southern Mali and continues to expand the holdings with the of under-explored extensions to known gold mineralised shear zones and targeting the preferred geological setting. The Mali landholding consists of 8 projects (11 separate licences) located in the Syama-Morilla region and a major structural zone to the west (Figure 4 and 5). The landholding is highly prospective and the IGS has commenced immediate exploration activities with extensive surface geochemical sampling and mapping. A total of 4,076 samples have been collected to date with initial samples returning anomalism up to 516ppb Au. Initial geochemical sampling has focussed on the Diendo and Siele project with final assay results are pending. A short summary is provided below:

    The Diendo project area consists of three permits (Diendo Sud, Diossyan Sud, & Manankoro Nord) covering a zone of favourable structural complexity as interpreted from regional aeromagnetic datasets. The permits cover 110km2 of the Birimian Gold belt with multiple structural targets along 8km of strike on gold-related structures, which are a key feature of major gold deposits across West Africa.

    Surface geochemistry for the Diendo Project was completed in early May 2011, with 2,777 samples collected on 100m x 400m spacing covering the entire 110km2 of the three reconnaissance permits (Diossyan Sud permit, Diendo Sud & Manakoro North) that comprise the Diendo project.

    The program consisted of primarily (76%) termite mound sampling, with soil infill where no termite mounds were located. The project hosts a well-defined target for both surface and auger geochemistry that is planned to commence this year. Sielé The Sielé project area provides an excellent opportunity to further explore the north-south trending gold corridor extending from anomalism at The Company’s Manian project, located approximately 50km to the south, in Cote d’Ivoire. The same Eburnean aged, gold related structures are interpreted to extend north into the Sielé project area, with strongly prospective targets for auger geochem testing defined along this structural corridor, adjacent, and at intersections to granitic intrusions. Surface geochemistry for the Sielé Project was completed in early June 2011, with 2,568 samples collected on 100m x 400m spacing covering a 7km wide zone for 15km of strike along a corridor through the center of the licence area where structure interpreted to be related to the Eburnean orogeny cut Birimian aged greenschist facies epiclastic rocks in close proximity to a granitic contact. The program consisted of primarily (70%) termite mound sampling, with soil infill where no termite mounds were located.

    Assays received to date represent 70% of recent sampling and are tentatively interpreted to denote two parallel zones of dissipated surface mineralisation, with one zone open to the as-yet-unsampled northwestern part of the licence.

    Exploration activity proposed for the next 3 month period is:

    Drilling campaign at the Latin Gold project targeting gold-copper mineralisation

    Geophysical survey at the Latin Gold project

    Continue geochemical sampling at the Latin Gold project targeting regional prospect areas and artisinal workings.

    Continue regional geochemical sampling and mapping in southern Mali projects.

    Notes 1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entity’s

    activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.

    2 The “Nature of interest” (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of

    interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

    3 Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not

    required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities. 4 The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive

    Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report. 5 Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International
