Quarterly Activity Report for the period ending 31 March 2011
HIGHLIGHTS
Operations
29% increase in total copper production to 6,767 tonnes (December 2010 Quarter: 5,226 tonnes)
at a cash cost of US$1.85 per pound of payable copper (for primary copper production from the Mt
Garnet copper circuit).
Total zinc production of 7,119 tonnes (December 2011 Quarter: 8,475 tonnes) at a cash cost of
US$0.81 per pound of payable zinc.
36% increase in nickel production to 494 tonnes (December 2010 Quarter: 364 tonnes).
Lower zinc production reflected completion of commission of the Thalanga polymetallic mill and
disruption to operations and logistics due to wet weather and cyclones.
Record cash operating margins for copper of US$2.24 per pound and increased cash operating
margin for zinc of US$0.21 per pound of payable zinc.
16,329 tonnes of concentrate stockpiles on hand at Quarter end (31 December 2010: 12,780
tonnes), which are valued at A$25-30 million.
Exploration and Resource Development
More high-grade results including 17m @ 4.3% Cu (incl. 8.4m @ 7.4% Cu, 12.9m @ 7.8% Cu) extend the newly discovered Griffiths Hill copper zone beneath eastern end of Red Dome open pit.
Copper mineralisation intersected in drilling east of the Balcooma open pit.
27.2m intercept of massive sulphides from extension to Western Areas high grade Clinton Lode at Lounge Lizard – assays pending.

OVERVIEW
Despite the impact of a prolonged wet season and cyclones on Kagara’s North Queensland operations, the
Company posted a solid production performance with total copper production up 29% compared with the
previous Quarter to 6,767 tonnes and cash margins reaching a record high for the second successive
Quarter.
Cyclone Yasi passed through the North Queensland in early February. Operations at Balcooma and Thalanga
were impacted most with non-essential staff evacuated. While operations were quickly restored at
Thalanga, operations at Balcooma were impacted for five days before road access was re-established.
No injuries to personnel were reported and there was no significant equipment damage recorded at any
site. Overall, the impacts from Cyclone Yasi were less than that experienced from previous cyclones as a
result of improved cyclone preparedness across the sites.
Beyond the cyclone impact, a prolonged wet season extended the period where road closures have limited
the transport of Mungana ore to the Mt Garnet process plant and similarly, road haulage constraints
reduced the trucking of concentrate to the port of Townsville.
The extended wet season did impact on total zinc production during the Quarter, which was 16% lower
compared with the December 2010 Quarter at 7,119 tonnes.
At Mt Garnet, zinc production was lower due to a reduction in the amount and percentage of Mungana ore
feed into the Mt Garnet polymetallic plant, which resulted in a lower zinc feed grade and lower throughput
from the higher proportion of harder Mt Garnet ore. At Thalanga, polymetallic plant zinc production for the
Quarter was lower than plan as a result of final commissioning works completed early in the Quarter.
The prolonged wet season and cyclonic events have resulted in a significant build-up of concentrate stocks.
As at 31 March 2011, the Company had 16,329 tonnes of concentrate stockpiles on hand (31 December
2010: 12,780 tonnes) and yet to be invoiced which are valued at between A$25-30 million.
At Lounge Lizard in Western Australia, full production rates were achieved during the Quarter with 12,240 tonnes of ore grading 4.1% nickel mined. A total of 13,860 tonnes of ore grading 3.9% nickel was processed through the Western Areas Cosmic Boy treatment facility at a recovery of 91.1%, producing approximately 494 tonnes of nickel-in-concentrate. Regular positive cash flow is now being generated from this project. Kagara continued to generate excellent exploration results on a number of fronts during the Quarter, highlighting the potential for significant additions to its current metal resource inventory. Highlights included further outstanding high-grade results from the newly discovered Griffiths Hill copper zone at Red Dome, where a maiden resource is imminent, new copper intercepts to the east of the Balcooma open it and a substantial 27.2m massive sulphide intercept at Lounge Lizard. Work is currently underway to develop an updated business strategy for Kagara building on the Company’s stated commitment to a significantly increased exploration effort across its tenements over the next two years. Similarly, a comprehensive organisational review is underway to ensure the business is well prepared for the next phase of growth which will be realised from the increased exploration effort.

Production Summary
Notes: (1) The Thalanga plant was converted to a polymetallic plant from a copper plant in December Quarter 2010, making Quarter-on-Quarter
comparisons for this reporting period irrelevant. (2) Cash cost net of by-product credits. (3) Cash costs for zinc are averaged between the Mt Garnet and Thalanga polymetallic treatment plants. (4) Revenue and cash costs for nickel will be reported in the next half year release once agreed accounting practices are finalised. (5) Nickel tonnes represent actual production tonnes for January and February. March tonnage is estimated from tonnes processed and estimated
plant recovery based on previous months’ recovery results.

OPERATIONS
NORTH QUEENSLAND
Mt Garnet
Mining from Mt Garnet was ahead of plan in terms of both tonnes and grade to counteract the impact of
reduced haulage of Mungana ore to Mt Garnet resulting from road closures.
Plant throughput was lower than plan mainly due to the reliance on harder Mt Garnet ore as dominant feed
to the plant compared to a normal blended feed of Mt Garnet and softer, higher grade Mungana ore.
Throughput was also impacted by some minor downtime during the passage of Cyclone Yasi. Normal
blended ore feed will resume when the roads re-open between Mungana and Mt Garnet early in the next
Quarter.
Reduced road loading limits on concentrate trucks during the wet season also impacted the ability to
transport concentrate to the port of Townsville. In addition, the wet season has also placed increased
pressure on the installed filtration capacity of the Mt Garnet plant to dry ore to a sufficient moisture
loading limit prior to shipment. This constraint will be reviewed prior to the next wet season to identify
solutions. As a result, concentrate stocks on hand at Mt Garnet increased again during the Quarter.
Mungana
While production tonnes from Mungana were above plan during the Quarter, development tonnes were
below plan as a result of below average equipment availability. Maintenance practises will be the subject of
an operations-wide review currently planned to commence mid-April 2011.
Ore haulage between Mungana and Mt Garnet was less than 10% of plan as a result of wet season road
closures. Current ore stockpiles at Mungana exceed 55,000 tonnes of ore. Transport will commence as soon
as roads re-open.
A major new underground pump station was completed allowing increased decline development rates.
Development of the decline has been impacted in the past by underground pumping constraints.
Thalanga
Despite the extended wet season and impact of Cyclone Yasi, ore movement from the Vomacka open pit
was ahead of plan by the end of the Quarter. With the excellent progress made during the wet season,
plans are currently being reviewed to determine if the open pit can be mined to completion ahead of
schedule to free up the fixed costs associated with the mining operation.
The reconfiguration of the Thalanga concentrator from a copper-only circuit to a polymetallic circuit was
delayed as a result of weather related materials handling issues. Once the reconfiguration was completed,
final commissioning was not achieved until later in the Quarter.
This was principally due to some modifications to the original process design to accommodate the complex
geo-metallurgy of the Vomacka ore. The revised process reflected optimum product stream of zinc
concentrate, copper concentrate and a bulk concentrate from the upper sections of the Vomacka deposit,
rather than a copper, zinc and lead concentrate as originally envisaged.
The new tailing storage facility at Thalanga was completed on time and below budget.

Balcooma
Mining operations continued through the Quarter, although access was affected by flooding due to the wet
season and the impact of tropical cyclone Yasi. Copper ore production continued from Balcooma while
development progressed on the polymetallic Upper Lens. Rehabilitation of waste dumps at Surveyor and
Balcooma continued during the Quarter. Lounge Lizard, WA During the Quarter, 12,240 tonnes of ore grading 4.1% nickel was mined from Lounge Lizard. The ore was a combination of stope and development ore. A total of 13,860 tonnes of ore grading 3.9% nickel was processed through the Western Areas Cosmic Boy treatment facility at a recovery of 91.1% producing approximately 494 tonnes of nickel in concentrate. Set out below are some of the assay results from grade control drilling returned during the Quarter and intersections for underground drill holes for which assays are yet to be received. A highlight from the drilling completed during the Quarter was Hole KUG086, which returned a 27.2 metre massive sulphide intersection targeting the southern extension to the Western Areas’ high grade Clinton Pegmatite Lode.

Admiral Bay, WA
Kagara has established data room containing all relevant technical information for Admiral Bay including
data acquired from its predecessors on this world-class asset and the Pre-Feasibility Study completed last
year.
To date a number of international corporations have accessed the data room and are finalizing their
responses to or are in discussions with Kagara on possible funding options for the Bankable Feasibility
Study.
EXPLORATION
Mt Garnet (North Queensland)
A drilling programme designed to test the projected down-plunge position of the high-grade zinc-rich North
Shoot of the Mt Garnet underground mine continued with nine holes completed for a total of 3,252.8
metres.
All holes intersected narrow intervals of mineralised skarn with a best intersection in hole GTD206W2 of 9.5
metres from 370.4 metres at 3.28% zinc, 2.03% lead, 0.26% copper and 21 grams per tonne silver,
including 2 metres at 7.73% zinc, 5.42% lead, 0.93% copper and 56 grams per tonne silver from 375.9
metres.
This intersection is approximately 100 metres down-plunge of the previously defined northern limit of the
North Shoot orebody. Further underground drilling is planned for the June 2011 Quarter to define to the
mineralisation intersected. Resource development drilling continues to show indicative ore grade intercepts
to the south and at depth in the vicinity of the 390 level.
Mungana (North Queensland)
Core drilling continued on the recently discovered Griffiths Hill Copper Zone. Fourteen holes were
completed for a total of 7,285 metres. Best results included:
Hole 1040W1 with 9.2 m from 439.2 m @ 3.2% Cu, 4.84% Zn, 33 g/t Ag and 0.22 g/t Au
Hole 1040 with 2.1 m from 522.4 m @ 6.8% Cu, 6.10% Zn, 177 g/t Ag and 0.50 g/t Au
The recently completed and most easterly hole, 1056, returned two massive sulphide intersections, 267.9
to 273.9 metres and 275.7 to 277.8 metres that are zinc dominated and may indicate a change in the style
of mineralisation as it extends eastward.
The mineralisation remains open to the south-east and at depth and step-out drilling will continue to test
the limits of the mineralisation (see attached diagram showing the Griffiths Hill zone in relation to the
existing Red Dome open pit). A resource for the Griffiths Hill deposit will be released next Quarter.
Preparations commenced for the next phase of infill and resource extension drilling at King Vol deposit
which will commence as soon as the Walsh River is passable.
Quarterly Report for the period ended 31 March 2011

Thalanga (North Queensland)
Infill and extension drill-testing the West 45 ore body was completed during the Quarter. A review of the
historical mining and exploration data has begun and will result in a large exploration program at Thalanga.
The pre-mining resource at Thalanga was in excess of seven million tonnes of polymetallic mineralisation
and Kagara believes that the area holds potential to host a base metal resource of similar size.
Balcooma (North Queensland)
Resource and reserve work was completed for western flank and upper lens and a program is being
prepared for Zinc 2 lens as well as for main copper lens extensions to the south. Resource estimates will be
released next Quarter.
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, drilling east of the northern end of the Balcooma pit intersected
copper sulphides in percussion drill holes; assays are pending. The program is in its early stages but this
development is viewed as encouraging. A program of percussion and diamond drilling is scheduled to be
completed in the June 2011 Quarter. The program is aimed at testing regional targets as well as down-
plunge extensions to the Balcooma underground deposit.
Forrestania Project (Western Australia)
Compilation of historic exploration data from Forrestania continued during the Quarter. At the Only Hope
nickel prospect a best result in RCP hole NEP038 of 7 metres at 0.78% nickel from 73 metres including 2
metres at 1.1% nickel in serpentinized komatiite was recorded in drilling completed by previous tenement
holders.
Assessment indicates that potential remains down-plunge and along strike. Drill programme design is being
finalized in preparation for drilling which is due to commence in June to test targets south of the Spotted
Quoll and Willy Willy prospects about five kilometres south of Lounge Lizard.
