Dear Sir

Gold Exploration Update - Duplex Hill South Project New RC Drilling Program.

The company is pleased to announce that RC drilling will re-commence on the ‘Woodline1’ orebody (previously Duplex Hill South East lode), which is 30 km South East of Kalgoorlie and 10 km from the company’s Blair Underground Nickel Mine to add to the gold resources already identified.

To date four traverses of RC resource definition drilling have defined a shallow, strongly mineralised NE striking reef system with a minimum strike length of 100 metres. The mineralisation is open both along strike and at depth. (see attached section)

The table below highlights several significant intersections from the RC drilling program reported in September 2005:
 
Hole Id North East Rl Azi Dip From To Intercept Grade
AMRC76 6569118 384218 383 270 -60 9m 18m 9m 2.98g/t
AMRC74 6569142 384232   270 -60 10m 16m 16m 3.41g/t
AMRC64 6569142 384246   270 -60 20m 30m 10m 7.08g/t
AMRC65 6569142 384262   270 -60 49m 63m 14m 2.96g/t

A programme of 990 metres of extensional and infill drilling is planned awaiting the arrival of an RC rig in the first week of December.

Yours faithfully
