Fourth Annual Report for EL8433 (Jila Central) for the period Jan 1, 2000 to May 13, 2001. RN: 27975Normandy NFM Limited

SUMMARY

The area covered by the Jila Joint Venture Project, located approximately 450km north-west of AliceSprings, is being explored for economic gold mineralisation.

The Jila tenement is held by Normandy Tennant Creek Pty Ltd (40%) and Yuendumu Mining Company NL(60%). A subsequent 50:50 joint venture agreement between Normandy Gold (now Normandy TennantCreek) and Normandy NFM consolidated all exploration tenements in the Tanami-Arunta region, includingthe existing Jila JV Project area. As a result of this agreement, exploration of the JV properties is managedby Normandy NFM Ltd and the current breakdown of JV interest is Normandy Tennant Creek (42.5%),Normandy NFM Ltd (42.5%) and Yuendumu Mining Company NL (15%).

During 1998, Normandy NFM negotiated an agreement with the NTDME to provide a group reportingarrangement for the four Jila exploration licences. It was also agreed that the report would cover a calenderyear (field season) rather than anniversary year and a submission date of May 31st each year wasestablished for the Jila Project. The Jila project originally included EL’s 8433, 8439, 8615 & 8616. EL’s8439, 8615 & 8616 were surrendered on the 30th July 1999, leaving only EL8433 in the Jila project.

It was decided by NNFM, and agreed to by the Dept., that as only one EL comprised the Jila project, wewould revert back to reporting on the tenure year with a submission date of one month after anniversary inline with the Mining Act. This report represents the fourth annual report for EL8433 and as such, describesexploration activity undertaken between January 1st 2000 and May 13th, 2001.

Work undertaken within the Joint Venture focussed on the Jila Central tenement (EL8433) and comprised:

• 2194 Soil Samples

• 86 CRC Samples

• 509 Lag Samples

• 95.5 line kilometres of Ground Magnetics

• 95 Angled RAB Holes for 4952metres, 1648 samples

• 68 samples submitted for Petrology

This work further defined the arsenic anomaly with low-level gold at Black Cat. RAB drilling intersected twoweak gold anomalies in the order of 0.2 ppm at bottom of hole in adjacent drill holes. Work to beundertaken during the ensuing field season will comprise further infill surface sampling around Black Cat toreduce the line spacing to 250 metres. Some sampling will also be undertaken on wider spaced (500m)lines to follow-up weak RAB anomalies and their association with anomalous surface samples takenpreviously.

1 INTRODUCTIONThis document is the fourth annual report to be completed for EL8433 (Jila Central). It outlines explorationactivities undertaken within EL8433 between January 1st and December 31st, 2000. Exploration Licences8439, 8615 and 8616, formerly part of the Jila Joint Venture, were surrendered on June 30, 1999.

The Jila JV Project is located approximately 100km north-west of Yuendumu and 150km south-west of TheGranites Gold Mines (Figure 1) and is wholly on Aboriginal Freehold Land.

The licence was originally granted to Normandy Gold Pty Ltd (now Normandy Tennant Creek) andYuendumu Mining Company NL (YMC) in 1997 and was included as part of a Joint Venture agreementbetween YMC and Normandy Tennant Creek. A subsequent Joint Venture agreement between NormandyTennant Creek and Normandy NFM (NFM) came into effect in July 1998, with NFM assuming managementof the project.

2 TENEMENT DETAILSThe four exploration licences that originally comprised the Jila Joint Venture Project (EL’s 8433, 8439, 8615and 8616) were all granted in 1997. This Joint Venture commenced on May 14th, 1997 and is comprised ofpartners Yuendumu Mining Company NL (15%), Normandy Tennant Creek (42.5%) and NFM (42.5%).

The project area straddles the boundary between the Mala Aboriginal Land Trust to the south and theCentral Desert Aboriginal Land trust to the north. Both trusts are administered by the CLC and a Deed forExploration was negotiated with the CLC on behalf of the traditional owners prior to grant of the licence.

EL’s 8439, 8615 and 8616 were surrendered on June 30th, 1999, after exploration efforts failed to outlinesignificant potential for economic gold mineralisation.

4 PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

4.1 Previous Exploration by Other CompaniesThere is no record of previous systematic gold exploration within the Jila Central tenure. There hasbeen some exploration in adjacent areas, including work by prospectors in obtaining tungsten fromshallow pits at “Baardas Reward”.

For additional information, the reader is referred to Smith (2000).

4.2 Previous Exploration by Normandy Affiliated CompaniesWork commenced within the Jila Central tenure in the second half of 1997 due to delays in approval ofwork clearances.

Work completed during the 1997 field season included aeromagnetic and gravity surveys, followed bygrid vacuum drilling in the northern portions of the tenure. For more details the reader is referred toWilliams (1998).

The 1998 field season was aimed at better understanding the nature of regolith and bedrock geology,as well as generating targets via surface geochemical sampling or ground magnetic traverses. Threeaircore lines were drilled within the Joint Venture, one of which traverses the southern half of EL8433.Rock chip sampling was undertaken in the central to northern portions of EL8433, mostly north-east ofWild Cat Bore. For more information the reader is referred to Adrichem (1999).

Exploration efforts for the 1999 field season within EL 8433 were designed to assess and developarsenic anomalies defined in 1998 and to verify the source of geophysical anomalies within the licence.A total of 15 RAB holes were drilled adjacent to vacuum drilling undertaken in the northern portions ofthe licence in 1998. Lag sampling concentrated on following up the arsenic anomalies in the Black Catarea, as well as the north-east and north-west areas of anomalism. Some reconnaissance samplingwas also completed. Rock chip samples were taken in the southern two-thirds of the tenure during thecourse of lag sampling. Soil sampling was completed in the south-western corner of the tenementwhere low-level gold was discovered during RAB drilling (JBR034). A total of 154.9 line kilometres ofGround Magnetics were acquired over areas targeted as a result of aeromagnetic interpretation. Fivesamples were submitted for thin section petrology at the completion of the drilling and rock chipprograms. For further information, refer to Smith (2000).

5 GEOLOGY

5.1 Regional GeologyThe Arunta Inlier is one of the largest Proterozoic Inliers in Australia. Mapping by the BMR during the1960s and 1970s resulted in the subdivision of the Arunta Inlier into three major tectonic provinces:northern, central and southern (Shaw et al. 1984). Palaeo-Proterozoic stratigraphy was grouped intothree major divisions: Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3, based on facies assemblages andlithological correlations, (Stewart et al. 1984). Division 1 rocks were inferred to be the oldest,comprising mafic and felsic granulites. Division 2 rocks are mainly represented by turbiditicmetasediments. Division 3 rocks comprise platform-style quartzite, shale and carbonate sequencesunconformably overlying Division 1 and 2 rocks. All three Palaeo-Proterozoic divisions are intruded byK-feldspar megacrystic granitoids. The three Proterozoic divisions, as well as the granitoids, areunconformably overlain by Neo-Proterozoic cover sequences.

A more recent review of the tectonostratigraphic relations of the Arunta Inlier by Collins and Shaw(1995) has suggested that the Arunta Inlier should be sub-divided into only northern (older) andsouthern (younger) tectonic provinces, separated by the Redbank Thrust Zone. Furthermore, theyconsider that in the northern tectonic province boundaries between Division 1 and Division 2 rocks aregradational and that both are part of the same tectonostratigraphic unit. They have therefore proposeda revision of the tectonostratigraphic nomenclature, abandoning the Divisions in favour of lithologicalassemblages. In the northwestern Arunta Inlier, Divisions 1 and 2 are replaced by the "LanderAssemblage". Several deformations are recognised in the Lander Assemblage prior to deposition ofthe "Reynolds Assemblage" (formerly Division 3). These deformations are collectively termed the"First Tectonic Cycle". Further deformations occurred following deposition of the ReynoldsAssemblage which collectively are termed the "Second Tectonic Cycle". Metamorphism associatedwith the first tectonic cycle is prograde, whereas metamorphism associated with the second tectoniccycle is retrograde.

A summary of geological history and nomenclature for the northwestern Arunta Inlier is presented inTable 2.

5.2 Tenement GeologyEL 8433 is comprised mainly of depositional regolith regimes, although some residual regolith ispresent in the north and sporadically in the southern and eastern portions of the tenement. Regolithmaps are contained within Williams (1998).

Outcropping rocks within the tenure are comprised mainly of lateritised metasedimentary rocks withinthe Lander Rock Beds, with some quartz veins. These Metasediments have also been intersected inRAB drilling as described later.

6 WORK UNDERTAKENWork completed during the 2000 field season concentrated on the Black Cat area, with RAB and infillsurface sampling being used to better define the anomaly and test its’ extent.

6.1 GriddingA total of 95.5 kilometres of gridding was emplaced over the main Arsenic anomaly, defined previously,in April and May. An E-W baseline was installed using hip chain and compass based on a GPS basepoint at the western end of the baseline.North-South traverses were installed at 500 metre intervals with 50 metre peg spacings. A GarminGPS was used for this given the recent improvement in accuracy with the removal of selectiveavailability. Refer to Figure 2 for grid and anomaly locations.

6.2 Ground MagneticsGround magnetics were obtained at approximately 10 metre intervals over Northings 7015000N to7619500N for each 500 metre spaced north-south traverse between 678500E and 688500E, totalling95.5 line kilometres. This was completed in an effort to gain a better understanding of the magneticfeatures surrounding the surface anomalies encountered and to aid in planning of RAB drilling of theseanomalies. Location of traverses is shown on Figure 2.

6.3 Lag SamplingAn extensive lag programme was undertaken during May and June, collecting a total of 509 samples.The majority of these were taken over 500 metre spaced traverses, with 50 metre sample spaces overthe main Arsenic/Gold anomaly. Samples were of the +5mm size fraction, covering an area 10km E-W by 4.5km N-S. The remaining samples infilled between interesting traverse lines, in preparation forthe detailed soil sample programme undertaken later in the year.

The nature of laggable material sampled was variable, reflected by the collection of multiple samples atsingle locations. Generally, quartz lag was dominant, with lesser concentrations of laterite andsubcrop/outcrop. Spatially, laterite and quartz lag dominated in the western portion of the grid, whilequartz lag and subcrop/outcrop dominated the eastern portion.

Numerous results from this sampling were in excess of 10ppb Gold and 800ppm Arsenic, with peakresults of 27ppb Gold and 7000ppm Arseinc. Arsenic results of note were concentrated to the south ofthe prominent ferruginous ridge tested previously but scattered anomalous results also occurredelsewhere. Most anomalous Gold results however were situated in the eastern half of the grid. Nostrong control on Arsenic or Gold anomalism is apparent in the results. Sample locations are shownon Figure 3.

6.4 CRC SamplingSampling was undertaken during the lag programme, with a total of 86 samples being collected. Mostof these samples were taken adjacent to the main Arsenic/Gold anomaly.

A peak result of 111ppb Au was obtained from a NW trending quartz vein within Lander Rock Beds..Coincident As (76ppm) and Bi (117ppm) anomalism gives further encouragement for the area. A peakAs result from CRC sampling was 11799ppm with numerous samples recording greater than 800ppmAs. Sample locations are shown on Figure 3.

6.5 Soil SamplingExtensive soil sampling was completed over parts of the area gridded during June. This comprisedcollection of 2194 bulk soil samples over 500 metre spaced lines with 10 metre spaced samples.Sampling was undertaken primarily between 680500E and 684500E, with further lines to 678500E and688500E. Sample locations are shown on Figure 4.

Two orientation surveys were completed that involved sieving the bulk samples collected to varioussize fractions to determine the best size range to use. These surveys involved the taking of 290samples. The first survey utilised samples from sections 681000E and 686000E and sieved bulksamples to –80#, +120#; -120#, +200# and –200# sizes. The second survey (another portion of theline at 681000E) sieved bulk samples to the same sizes as the first survey.

The results of this survey revealed that the –200# size fraction was preferred as it produced a higherresponse in gold and arsenic. The –80# fraction however, was also considered suitable for anomalyidentification.

The remaining bulk samples were sieved and the –200# size retained for analysis.

The sampling defined a robust ENE striking +1ppb Au anomaly with a 2.5km strike length, which isopen in both directions. Arsenic is much more restricted, with a central core of between 70-170ppm onthe 682000E and 682500E lines and weaker ENE and NW trends of 30-70ppm As. The Au anomaly is800 metres wide at its’ broadest dimension, where there appears to be an intersection between themain E-W to ENE trend and a weaker NW trend. Both of these trends appear to coincide withmagnetic features, but may be a facet of sampling media. In some cases, the material sampled wasaeolian sand or alluvium rather than insitu soil profile.

6.6 RAB DrillingNinety-five angled RAB holes were drilled for 4952 metres in October to test the oxide potential of themore robust arsenic and gold anomalies from surface sampling. Hole locations are shown on Figure5.

Drill lines were located predominantly south of the exclusion zone, with two lines to the east. Holeswere angled mainly to the south, as stratigraphy and mineralisation are thought to be sub-vertical,although some holes were drilled to the north to test interesting geological observations. Drill spacingwas mostly 25 metres, with holes being drilled to a set depth of 54 metres in an attempt to gain verticaloverlap. In most cases, drillholes reached this depth, still within upper saprolite, although several holeseither required hammer to reach depth, or insertion of another drill hole at an intermediate spacing toachieve coverage.

Rock types intersected were predominantly granite and quartz-mica schist, with some quartz-biotite-mica schist and what was interpreted as a veneer of sandstone up to 6 metres thick over basement onthe western lines. Quartz veins were intersected in several holes that defined a roughly east-westtrend, with some of these containing possible oxidised sulphides. Petrological examination of some ofthese chips revealed that most of these rocks were indeed metasediments – see section 6.7.

Samples were taken from the hole as 3 metre ‘buckets’ which were run through a riffle splitter. Thissplit material was then sampled and sent for analysis to Genalysis for Gold and Arsenic. Sampleseries and analytical methods are displayed in Table 7.

Gold results were mildly encouraging, with a best intercept of [email protected] from 27m in BLCRB24.Other good results included 21m@60ppb to EOH (including 3m@101ppb from 42m) in BLCRB27 and6m@50ppb from 33m in BLCRB30.

These results appear to follow a NE magnetic trend associated with shale or siltstone. The bestresults of both As and Au intercepted were gathered along the western-most drill line, associated witha demagnetised zone on this main NE magnetic trend. This area has not been completely tested bysurface or drill sampling along strike to the SW.

Another encouraging anomaly was intercepted in BLCRB87 (3m@54ppb from 40m). This is located atthe intercept between the main NE magnetic trend and a NNW feature that offsets this trend. A+10ppb lag sample was taken 2.4km along strike to the SSE of BLCRB87. A tabulation of the +10ppbgold anomalies are contained in Table 8.

6.7 PetrologySixty eight samples were submitted for petrographic descriptions to Pontifex and Associates. Thesesamples contain a variety of rock types, including the interpreted ‘cover’ sandstone intersected on thewestern lines. These were sample numbers P06683-P06700 and P06301-P06350. Thin sectionanalysis revealed that the majority of samples were metasediments, ranging from shale and siltstoneto coarse sandstone. Some granitoid and pegmatite was also observed. The petrology report iscontained in Appendix 3.

7 PROPOSED WORK FOR NEXT REPORTING PERIODWork to be undertaken during the ensuing field season will comprise further infill surface samplingaround Black Cat to reduce the line spacing to 250 metres. Some sampling will also be undertaken onwider spaced (500m) lines to follow-up weak RAB anomalies and their association with anomaloussurface samples taken previously.

Proposed exploration is expected to exceed a covenant of $30,000.

8 EXPENDITURE INCURRED FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD ENDING MAY 1, 2001Table 9 shows the expenses incurred within EL8433 for the tenure year ending on May 13, 2001. Thisincludes all aspects of exploration, including on-licence and off-licence.

The date for reporting on the activities within the Jila tenement has been modified due to therelinquishment of all licences within the project except for EL8433. The reporting date has thereforebeen changed from the calender year to the anniversary date.

This expenditure has been broken down into the period of January 1 to May 13, 2000 and May 14,2000 to May 13, 2001. No expenditure was accrued for EL 8433 between January 1, 2000 and May13, 2000, so Table 9 displays expenditure for the 12 months ending May 13, 2001.

APPENDIX 3 – SAMPLE & SURVEY METHODOLOGYSURFACE SAMPLES

CRC (Composite Rock Chip)

A composite technique is adopted whereby approximately 4-5kg of material comprising 10 to 15 grabsamples is collected from within a 2m radius of the designated sample site. A description of samplematerial is recorded in the sample logs.

GPS equipment is used to determine reconnaissance sample locations in the absence of a local grid.Sampled sites have been marked with flagging tape and numbered aluminium permatags affixed to theoutcrop or nearby tree.

Lag/DSL (Drill-derived Stone Line)

Lag is any hard surficial material varying from a coarse sand to rock fragments.

The sample is obtained via a shallow surface scrape, sieved to obtain approximately 250g of materialand collected into a plastic zip seal bag. The size of the sieved fraction, which is variable from projectto project, is listed in the sample logs.

Reconnaissance spaced sample sites are not marked, however infill sample sites are flagged in theabsence of a local grid. Sample type, quality, description and size is noted at the time of collection andrecorded via codes oulined in Appendix 1 of this report.

A DSL sample is a drill derived “buried” lag sample. Other than using a drill rig to bring the sample tosurface, collection methods are identical to lag.

Soil Sample

These are samples taken where no rock chip or lag material is available and where the transportedcover is perceived to be quite thin (<5m). A hole is dug to between 0.1 and 0.5 metres below surfaceto remove any aeolian (wind blown) or recent material that may mask traces of basementmineralisation.

Material retrieved from the hole is either placed into a calico bag for later sieving, or is placed into asieve of suitable size fraction for shaking to reduce the sample to the size fractions required. A pin flagis placed into the ground adjacent to the sample site for later recognition and the coordinates andnature of material, including sieve size used, is recorded in the log record.

DRILLING SAMPLES

Composite samples are taken of all RAB/Aircore drill spoil. Samples are taken as 3 metre composite(i.e. 1 drill rod) intervals. Drill spoil is collected in a bucket beneath the cyclone and at the end of eachdrill rod, the sample is speared using a plastic tube to gain a representative sample. This sample isplaced into a calico bag (approximately 8”x12” in size, weighing 2kg) and sent to the laboratory foranalysis.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS

Ground Magnetics

All ground magnetic surveys were effected by Normandy NFM personnel.

Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) readings were taken at 10m intervals (unless otherwise stated) using aG856 proton precession magnetometer and a pole height of 1.8m. Diurnal measurements were takenusing a second magnetometer as a base station, with readings taken every 30 seconds. Oncompletion of the survey, diurnal variations were removed from the data using the MAGPAC program.

Data was collected over the surveyed lines which were pegged every 100m and clearly annotated withthe line number and location coordinates. The placement of these traverses was achieved by using aTrimble Global Positioning system combined with a Racal differential GPS attachment.

Details particular to each survey are discussed in the following tenement specific chapters. Lineorigins are estimated to be within +/-50m of the AMG coordinates listed.
