March 2012 Quarterly Report – 30 April 2012

Giffen Well WPG has completed nine of the fifteen-hole RC percussion and diamond drilling program commenced in late March at Giffen Well. The drilling has been designed to provide additional intersections of the previously known magnetite BIF mineralisation in order to enable a JORC-compliant resource estimate. Seven of the completed holes have been drilled on the main BIF zone and two were drilled on the western mineralisation. When completed, the drilling results will be merged with existing data to develop geological and resource models that will then form the basis for a preliminary feasibility study (PFS). Assaying, Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) and Satmagan metallurgical test work and sizing analysis will be carried out on samples from the RC percussion drill holes. Preliminary details for each of the completed holes are set out in the following table and their locations are shown on the diagram below, which also shows magnetic contours. Hole_ID MGA94_East

March 2012 Quarterly Report – 30 April 2012

Weathered limonite-goethite material was intersected in the upper oxide zone in several drill holes. This material has the potential to be enriched in iron content as it most likely has been derived from the weathering of the underlying banded iron formation. An initial batch of samples has been despatched for assay and results are expected mid-way through the June quarter. Preliminary geological cross sections for lines 6,647,900mN and 6,646,000mN are shown in the following two drawings.

March 2012 Quarterly Report – 30 April 2012

Port Pirie WPG owns a large industrial block of land in Port Pirie on which it intended to build an iron ore receival, storage, and load-out facility prior to the sale of the Company’s Peculiar Knob and Hawks Nest iron ore assets. Since the sale, construction activities have ceased and rehabilitation work carried out with the site placed on care and maintenance. WPG has on-going obligations for environmental monitoring at Port Pirie, which are being met. No adverse indications have been forthcoming. WPG sees potential to use Port Pirie to provide a key mine to market solution for its South Australian projects which, without access to a port, could be difficult to develop. Potash Exploration at Pidinga WPG commenced an exploration program for potash in South Australia during the quarter. A cultural heritage clearance survey of the proposed drill sites has been carried out. Drilling will commence when the survey results have been compiled and clearance approvals given. Penrhyn Coal Project No work was completed at Penrhyn during the quarter. Lochiel North Coal Project No work was completed at Lochiel North during the quarter. Offer of New Tenements During the quarter offers of grant were made for the Company’s Perfection Well and Lake Woorong applications, both of which have been on hold for several years pending development by the Commonwealth of new access guidelines. The offers have been accepted and the new tenements are expected to be granted in several weeks. Perfection Well is prospective for coal. Lake Woorong is prospective for coal and also for iron (and base and precious metals). Exploration programmes are being developed for both areas.
