Southern Cross
Mt Dimer (M77/427, M77/428, M77/957, M77/958, M77/965, E77/1992, P77/4081)
Mt Dimer is the Company’s flagship gold project with an existing JORC compliant resource:
# Notes on Global Resource
Global resource is a combination of historical and new resource up-grades, refer to Golden Iron Resources prospectus “7 May 2010”.
During the quarter the technical team continued its consolidation of all historical data for the Mt
Dimer projects. This included the new data from RC drilling and information from the geochemical
auger program. 2 Program of Works (PoW) were submitted in October and December 2011 for 483
holes totalling 24,150 metres of RAB drilling to explore the new green field targets identified from
the Geochemical drilling, approval is currently pending.
Site activities included the tightening of the original auger pattern on tenements M77/957, M77/958
and M77/965 to 50 metres by 100 metres grid from the original 80 metres by 200 metres. This is
intended to give a higher resolution of the anomalies identified during the first pass program.
RC drilling during the second quarter continued with a total of 30 holes drilled for 3,070 metres
targeting areas of Golden Slipper deeps, Golden Slipper North/South, Lightning, IP4, Frodo and LO5
locations. The results of the drilling in and around the Lightning deposit resulted in a resource
upgrade that was released on the 21st December 2011. This resource upgrade shows the
mineralisation is open along strike and at depth. Further drilling will be designed to test the extent of
this mineralisation. The current Phase 1 drill program will continue working through the hole
prioritisation during the second half of this financial year.

Lightning’s two Geostatistical Domains Resulting from Geological Modelling Divided by the TOFR (orange surface)
During the quarter environmental monitoring of historical points of interest were conducted to
compare with previous monitoring. A weed spraying program was conducted targeting various
weeds such as nyguri, bathurst burr, skeleton weed and Ruby dock identified on access roads around
pits and surrounding areas including the pits Bund walls. Other clean-up activities of old historical
poly and scrap material were also completed during the quarter.
Gwendolyn (E77/1580 & P77/3976)
There has been substantial work carried out on tenement (P77/3976) this quarter after the
completion of the majority of the Phase 2 RC drill program. On the 17th October and the 19th
December 2011 the company released consecutive resource upgrades at the Gwendolyn East
project. The historic inferred resource of 33,300 ounces of Au increased to 79,700 ounces Au in
October 2011 and then to 106,000 ounces Au in December 2011. In addition to the JORC resource an
Exploration Target* within and surrounding the resource is estimated between 592,000 - 1,100,000
tonnes and 46,000 - 103,000 ounces Au, mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike.
* Notes on Exploration Targets In accordance with Clause 18 of the JORC Code, it is important to note that the ‘Exploration Target’ referred to above remains subject to further exploration and evaluation to bring the ‘unclassified material’ to a JORC Compliant resource. The current interpretation is conceptual in nature and remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work undertaken to)date.

Plan View of Gwendolyn Phase 1 & 2 Drill Program and New Resource
A Phase 3 drill program of diamond and RC drilling was submitted to the Western Australian
Department of Mine and Petroleum (DMP) in December 2011 for an additional 174 holes totalling
18,490 metres. This program is intended to target extensions to the mineralisation along strike and
increase the drill density in the exploration target material to make JORC categories.

Clampton (E77/1591)
The raw data from the aeromagnetic survey carried out in the previous quarter was handed to
FlagStaff who commenced the interpretation work. This interpretation was due for completion in
October 2011 and has been delayed due to the consultants work load and is still pending.
The interpretation from the aeromagnetic survey in combination with the desktop study of historical
data will be used to identify potential targets for further exploration activities. This analysis work is
will now be completed in the third quarter of the financial year.
Great Bingin (M77/1255)
Great Bingin previously (P77/3386) has now had the mining license granted as M77/1255. The
company submitted a RC drill program of 52 holes totalling 5,680 metres in the previous quarter,
approval by the DMP was received on the 3rd November 2011. This program is designed to test the
extent of the mineralisation along strike and at depth from the current historic resource envelop.
Great Bingin Historic Open Pit
Athenia (P77/3434 & P77/3637)
During the quarter, the exploration team conducted several field trips to the tenements conducting
reviews of surface geology and conformation survey work of historical drilling and excavations.
On 5th October, the Company received approval for a PoW consisting of 29 holes for 2,120 metres
from the DMP. The RC drill program is designed to test the extent of the mineralisation at depth and
along strike of the two major mineralisation loads identified to-date.

Mt Palmer (E77/1318, E77/1386 & P77/3678)
The raw data provided from the aeromagnetic survey is currently with the geophysicist consultants
for interpretation. Once completed the team will use this data to identify potential exploration
targets and determine if extensional structures to adjoining tenements that had substantial
historical mining exist.
Leonora
Muriels Extension (M37/661 & P37/758087587)
The aeromagnetic survey with 25 metre line spacing that was flown in the previous quarter was
interpreted by the geophysicist consultants. The exploration team submitted a PoW for 172 RAB
holes totalling 8,600 meters to the DMP in November 2011, approval is currently pending for this
program.
Earaheedy Basin
Earaheedy Joint Venture (50% Vector Resources / 50% Cazaly Resources)
Cazaly Resources Limited (ASX:CAZ) and Vector Resources Limited (ASX:VEC) (collectively the
Earaheedy Joint Venture “EJV”) signed a farm-in agreement with ANGLO AMERICAN (“ANGLO”), the
global diversified mining house, covering a large part of EJV’s Earaheedy Iron project in the Wiluna
region of Western Australia. EJV’s Earaheedy project covers an area in excess of 1,700 km2 including
a substantial strike extent of the iron ore prospective Frere Formation.
The Farm-In Agreement relates to an area of approximately 890 km2 and allows for ANGLO to
complete an initial “proof of concept” program with a minimum of 7,500m of RC or diamond drilling
to be completed as due diligence within 18 months. Following this, ANGLO may earn an initial 51%
interest in the project by payment of an initial $1M in cash to the EJV and the expenditure of $20M
within 4 years. ANGLO may then earn a total 75% interest in the project by the completion of a
Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) and payment of a further $5M to the EJV.
In addition, following delivery of a positive BFS, a success payment of $45M would become payable
by ANGLO to the EJV. The EJV may then elect to contribute to project expenditure or dilute to a
royalty of 1.25% FOB. Normal industry standard terms also apply.

ANGLO has conducted some initial geological mapping at the project which identified what are
interpreted to be structurally folded and repeated units of iron-enriched formations. No assay
results have been received but visual estimates of >50%-55% Fe within enriched units may have a
cumulative strike length of >14km. An aeromagnetic survey for Mt Cecil Rhodes and Sydney Heads
area was also completed. Desktop flora and fauna surveys were also delivered with no significant
environmental issues evident.

Earaheedy District Aeromagnetic Survey
The EJV retains sole rights to the western portion of EJV’s Earaheedy project area which is also
deemed to be highly prospective for manganese mineralisation. Field programmes are currently
being planned.
An Aboriginal Heritage Site Clearance Survey was completed at the Blue Cliffs and Blue Nugget
manganese prospects within Exploration Licence 69/2063. The survey has now allowed for access to
drill pad locations, required access tracks and to a remote camp location. No archaeological or
ethnographic sites of significance were identified. Exploratory Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is
planned to commence at the Earaheedy Project early in the June quarter to test mapped manganese
exposures at the Blue Cliffs and Blue Nugget prospects.
