1. Summary

Defiance Mining NL are exploring EL 18/91 at Mangana in Joint Venture withConnemarra Gold Mines Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the MiningContractor, Barminco Pty Ltd.

The targets are high-grade gold bearing reefs containing more than 50,000 ozs andsimilar in style to the Mangana Reef in adjacent tenement 24M193.

Since the Joint Venture was signed in September 1998, Defiance has concentrated itsfield program within 43M189 near Mathinna, located approximately 20km to thenorth ofEL 18/91.

Work completed in EL 18/91 during the previous reporting period involvedcompilation of all available, readily accessible data into a GIS format, production ofsuitable maps and prioritising of drill targets.

Work in the current reporting period comprised the drilling of two RC percussion drillholes into the Golden Entrance Reef for a total of 180m and follow up sampling on aanomalous soil sample on Blackboy Ridge.

2. Introduction

EL 18/91 "Mangana", of approximately 9sq km, is centred on the town of Manganaapproximately 65 km east of Launceston. The licence, which is now nearing its ninthanniversary, is due for renewal on 29 May 2000.

Connemarra Gold Mines Pty Ltd now holds the tenement, which has been previouslyheld by Alex White and Resolute Samantha Ltd. Defiance Mining NL has signed ajoint venture with Connemarra, whereby they can earn a 50% equity in this and otherassociated tenements, by spending $1 million on exploration for high-grade goldreefs.

The licence is a mixture of private land on alluvial flats and State Forest in adjacenthilly country. Access is generally excellent with a sealed road to Launceston andstrategically placed gravel roads throughout the tenement.

3. Conclusions and Recommendations

• Initial drill testing of the Golden Entrance line of workings was disappointingwith a best result of Im at 0.5g/t Au in MT097. The two holes drilled in thisprogram were not situated in the best position and further drill testing should becompleted on this reef along strike to the southwest.

• Follow soil sampling of a group of anomalous soil samples on Blackboy Ridgedowngraded the prospectivity of the anomaly.

In this first phase of mining, production peaked sometime prior to 1884. In theLyndhurst-Mangana zone, activity was concentrated on the southern section betweenMangana and Alberton within a 70km by 5krn belt of deformed sediments.

The first gold discovery in Tasmania was made at Mangana in 1852. As explorationextended to the north, further discoveries were made in the Lyndhurst-Mangana belt(including additional discoveries in Mangana EL 18/91) and at Lisle, Lefroy andBeaconsfield.

This overall geological setting is very similar to the high grade, quartz vein stylemineralisation in the slate belts of central and eastern Victoria which have historicalproduction of approximately 80Mozs.

WidthLengthDepthGradeStrikeDipMineralogy

• Drill testing of the Argyle line of reefs along strike from the Golden EntranceReef should be contemplated.

The gold deposits occur as auriferous quartz reefs, hosted in the Mathinna Beds, afolded sequence of Silurian-Ordovician age sediments. The Mathinna beds areintruded by younger, Devonian-Carboniferous age granites and are in part overlain byPermo-Triassic glacial marine sediments, Jurassic dolerites and Tertiary basalts.

In about 1887, after the first phase of mining had largely been completed, a Mr ALoane discovered a reef (Loane' s Reef) in the abandoned adit of the Golden Gatemine. Sinking of a shaft to evaluate this reef discovered an additional reef (MainReef). These two reefs were subsequently mined down to about 280m depth andprobably each produced somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 02S.

EL 18/91 lies near the southern end of the 90-km long, north-north-west trending, lineof gold deposits that extend from Mangana in the south to Lyndhurst on the northcoast.

The gold bearing veins are structurally controlled and occur in a range of orientationsand forms within zones of shearing and tectonic deformation. Typical vein featuresare:



Further exploration at depth below, and adjacent to, these reefs discovered a furthertwo reefs (East and West Reefs) which were mined from 250-470m depth. The NewGolden Gate Shaft was subsequently extended to 549m.

The bulk of the 265,000 ozs of gold from the New Golden Gate mine was produced inthe years 1888 to 1904. Intermittent production occurred through to 1929 when theworkings were finally abandoned. New Golden gate production representsapproximately 16% of Tasmania's historical production.

Early mills were generally simple stamp and gravity mills, which recovered most ofthe coarse free gold, but gold associated with sulphides was lost. The New GoldenGate mill experimented with cyanide extraction of their sulphides with limitedsuccess.

An important feature of the area is that many of the quartz veins never outcroppedand were only discovered during underground development aimed at other veins.

Modern day exploration activity has seen a number of companies hold tenure over theMangana area, however, very few have carried out drilling programs in the area of theold mines. Recent drilling programs have largely concentrated in the Mathinna area.

A large number of old workings remain untested by drilling.

A more detailed summary of historical exploration is available in MacDonald (1996)

6. Summary of Work Completed

6.1 Soil Geochemistry

Resolute Samantha Ltd collected a large number of soil and auger samples overMangana EL 18/91 while they held tenure. These samples were collected at 100m by50m spacing with 100m by 25m infill in anomalous zones.

One anomaly on Blackboy Ridge which had a best reported result of 206ppb Au and570ppm As and several other adjacent samples with 1O-40ppb Au was followed upwith ten repeat soil samples. The best value repeated as 44ppb Au and 140ppm As,however, all the adjacent samples repeated as <lppb Au and <IOppm As, thussignificantly downgrading the anomaly.

Samples were collected by removing leaf litter off the surface and then digging asmall hole to collect soil that was then sieved through a 2mm sieve. Oversize wasdiscarded and the minus 2mm fraction was analysed at Analabs in Burnie for Au bymethod F614 (detection limit Ippb Au) and As by method HI02 (detection limitIppm As). Samples were either collected from the same hole as the original sample(often still visible) or from a site immediately adjacent to the original sample site.

A full listing of the soil sample data is contained in Appendix I.

• As (lppm) by a triple acid digest with an AAS vapour hydride finish. Samplesreporting >50ppm were re-analysed using an AAS finish.

While a number of quartz rich reefs were intersected in both holes, the sulphidecontent of the quartz was very low, possibly in part due to deep weathering, and Auassay results were disappointing. The best intersection was 1m from 43m at 0.5g/t Auin RCOOMT097.

Drill logs and assays are attached in Appendix 2 and the drill holes are plotted onPlan Nos TAS 096 & 097.

For ease of access the holes were positioned on the top of the ridge near thenorthwestern end of the old workings. The targeted intersection points with the reefwere 30m and 50m below the collar of the No 1 shaft. The original proposed sectionline was on a bearing of 0450 magnetic (0600 AMG) from No 1 shaft, at right anglesto the line of the reef. However the hole positions had to be moved 10m to thenorthwest because of heritage concerns and the hole azimuths were subsequentlyadjusted by a small amount to retain the same intersection points. Hole positions areitemised in Table 1. RL coordinates are notional because of the lack of suitable localsurvey control.

Two RC percussion holes (MT097 & 98) were drilled to intersect the GoldenEntrance Reef as part of a larger program in the Mangana area, principally targeted atthe Mangana Reef in adjacent ML 24M193.

Samples were sent to Analabs in Burnie where they were analysed for (detectionlimits in brackets) the following:

Samples were collected in a large plastic bag from the drill cyclone at 1m intervals.Following lithological logging, samples of barren material with no quartz or sulphidespresent, were generally collected at 2m or 4m intervals (rarely 1m or 3m) using a50rnm poly spear. In zones of moderate interest based on the lithological logging,poly speared samples were collected every metre. In samples containing significantamounts of quartz and/or sulphides, samples were collected every metre using a rimesplitter.

6.2 RC Drilling



6.3 Survey Control

East Coast Surveying from St Helens established AMG survey control to the vicinityof the Golden Entrance workings. AMG coordinates were established for the two drillhole collars and several points along the line of the old workings.

7. Proposed Future Program

Future targets remaining to be tested include additional holes to the south east on theGolden Entrance Reef and the Argyle Reef, the extension of the Golden EntranceReef, across the other side of Sailers Gully. Approximately 6-8 holes for a total ofabout 800m ofRC drilling are proposed.

9. Expenditure Statement - ELI 8/91

Costs associated with dri \ling at the Golden Entrance Reef in early March 2000 havenot yet been entered into the Defiance accounts system. These costs would includeapproximately $6000 for RC drilling, $1500 for assays, $100 for site preparation andrehabilitation, and an additional $1000 for supervision. This will be reported in thenext annual report.
