INTRODUCTIONEPM 14404, Mirambeena, was granted to Mt Dockerell Mining Pty Ltd (a 100% subsidiary of Kings

Minerals NL) on October 13th 2004 for a period of five years. The tenement is composed of 100 sub-

blocks and is located 75 kilometers southwest of Townsville in North Queensland.

Figure 1 Project Location

The tenement is being relinquished to allow Kings to focus its exploration activities on the Mount Isa

Block.

The tenement has potential to host:

porphyry style gold mineralization similar to Mt Leyshon and Kidston;

shear zone hosted gold deposits of the Charters Towers and Ravenswood type;

epithermal gold deposits similar to Pajingo and Vera Nancy.

TENEMENTEPM 14404 is comprised of 100 sub-blocks totaling 322 square kilometers (Table 1, Figure 1). The tenement

is one of 15 contiguous applications totaling 4,000 sq km which makes up the Ravenswood Project.

NATIVE TITLEEPM 14404 was granted in October 2004 using the Native Title Protection Conditions. Subsequent to the

granting of the tenement the Gudjala People lodged a Claim in early 2005 (QC05_006) over the entire

Ravenswood Project. A project wide agreement was finally reached with the Gudjala People in July

2006.

GEOLOGYEPM 14404 is principally underlain by shallow marine sediments of the Dotswood Group that are folded

into broad domal structures. The sediments have a faulted contact in the south onto the River View

Granodiorite (Silurian to Devonian age) and display a temporal unconformity with the Ordovician Lavery

Creek Granite to the east.

The northeast trending Keelbottom Lineament crosses the northern end of the tenement area. This

structure is believed to have been an active growth fault from the Ordovician though to at least the

Carboniferous. Orthogonal to this lineament and occurring on the eastern margin of the tenement is the

Alex Hill Shear Zone, a broad northwest trending zone of deformation occurring within the Late Cambrian

to Early Ordovician granitic basement and dated at 464-426 Ma.

Small high level intrusive complexes are known at a number of locations, including Mt Keelbottom. These

are of Carboniferous to Permian age and consist of both intrusive and extrusive rhyolitic variants. The

known occurrences of gold mineralization at Mount Keelbottom are associated with these high level

plutons.

WORK COMPLETEDAlthough field access was available to Kings under the Native Title Protection Conditions it was

considered “political” to restrict fieldwork in the area until a Project Wide Native Title Agreement was

signed with the Gudjala People. As such little field work was completed.

Desk top studies have included preliminary compilation of previous exploration data; purchase and re-

processing of regional magnetic, radiometric and gravity data; preparation of project base maps and

compilation of 1:100,000 scale geology over the project area.

Regional Magnetics

The Hodgkinson Basin- Georgetown Block D and Drummond Basin Airborne Survey data was acquired

from Geoimage. The located and gridded data was reprocessed by Arctan geophysical Services Pty Ltd

and provided to Kings as enhanced images (Plan 2).

Major lineaments and significant anomalies were identified and rated for ground follow-up. Two major

sets of lineaments transect the tenement. The northeast trending Keelbottom Lineament cuts through the

centre of the tenement. Orthogonal to this is a northwest trending structure parallel to the Burdekin River

and borders the Quaternary sediments to the west. A number of magnetic anomalies occur within the

tenement, some of which are known to concur with outcropping Permo-Carboniferous instrusives.

Regional Gravity

The regional gravity fabric is dominated by a significant northeast trending linear comparable to the

Keelbottom Lineament and two regional highs which may be related to the River View Granodiorite in the

southeast and the Blisters Swamp Granite in the northeast (Plan 3).

Regional Radiometrics

The radiometric fabric is dominated by northeast structures comparable with the gravity and magnetic

linears. A number of discrete radiometric anomalies occur within the tenement, two of which are directly

related to Permo-Carboniferous intrusives – specifically targets M-11 and M-12 (Plan 4).

Regional Stream Sediment Sampling

Regional Geochemical Sample data was acquired from TerraSearch. The data distribution is confined to

the central portion of the tenement within Devonian sediments (Plan 5).

Target Identification and Reconnaissance Sampling

First pass evaluation of the regional data resulted in the identification of a number of geological /

geophysical targets, 14 of which occur within EPM 14404. Of these Anomalies M-4,5,7,8,12,14 & 20

were located and sampled during regional reconnaissance (Plan 6).

Anomalies 4, 5, 8, 12 and 20 are located on mapped Permo-Carboniferous intrusives. No anomalous

samples were recovered although intense iron alteration at Mt Keelbottom (Anomaly 20) was identified

but not sampled as it occurs within a Reserved Area. Narrow, shallow dipping quartz veins were

recorded at Anomaly 7 (Marlow).

The best result was returned from a Saprolite sample taken near Anomaly 14 (magnetic high) which

contained 17g/t Ag and 0.29%Cu with anomalous lead and zinc. Assays are attached.
