Dear Sir

Final Settlement to Mining Contractor

The company is pleased to announce that due to the excellent June quarter production results from the Blair Mine and achieving budget production in July that final settlement to Barminco (the previous mining contractor) will now be via cash and not the issue of additional 35,000,000 shares.

Settlement of the $1,141,260 outstanding amount will occur in two payments. The initial payment of $500,000 was paid today from proceeds of the entitlement issue as detailed in the prospectus.

The remaining balance of $641,260 will be paid from working capital in two instalments of $320,630 today and the remainder ($320,630) is due on the 31 August 2005.

The company reserves its right to issue 17,500,000 shares as full payment for the second installment.

Yours faithfully


Brett Young
Company Secretary
