Figure 1. Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia – Project Locations

Hawthorn Resources’ South Laverton Gold Exploration Zone incorporates six project areas where Hawthorn Resources holds, solely or in joint venture, title to over 100 exploration, mining, and prospecting licences. The tenement package is surrounded by major gold mines, deposits and advanced resources including the Sunrise Dam, Wallaby, Red October, Carosue Dam, Safari Bore, Deep South, Porphyry and Butchers Well Mines. The gold endowment of the South Laverton Zone is substantial, with over 20 Million ounces of gold resources identified to date.

Each of Hawthorns project areas host gold prospects with near term potential for development, with further drilling focused exploration to be carried out during the remainder of 2010 and 2011.

Figure 2.South Laverton Zone Projects – Location

Deep South Project (Hawthorn Resources 80%, Avoca Resources 20%).

The project area lies directly along strike to the south of Deep South Mine approximately 170 km to the north east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. Hawthorn holds tenements in this project area in Joint Venture with ASX 200 listed gold producer, Avoca Resources Limited. During the quarter Hawthorn completed a further 23 RC drillholes designed to infill and extend gold mineralisation initially reported during the June 2010 quarter.

During this follow-up program gold mineralisation was intersected in the distinctive target horizon in 19 of the 23 completed holes.

Figure 3.Deep South 2010 RC Drilling

This target mineralised zone, consisting of strike parallel quartz-chert-sulphide and quartz-carbonate-sulphide vein horizons, is considered analogous to economic mineralisation in the Deep South-Mexico gold orebodies owned by Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited, situated immediately along strike of the Hawthorn Resources tenements.

Saracen Mineral Holdings have announced that mining will recommence in the Safari Bore – Deep South area late in 2012, with production to increase to 70,000 ounces of gold per annum by late 2014. The primary gold bearing target horizons have now been intersected over 500 metres of strike with downhole widths of 5-21 metres recorded. Hawthorn is particularly encouraged by the broad shoot of quartz-carbonate-sulphides intercepted in the vicinity of sections 6729150 N and 6729190 N, where a high gold grade core is surrounded by 10-15 metres of lower gold grade material (0.20 - 0.50 g/t Au) associated with a broad, altered sulphide quartz vein system. Gold mineralisation at the Deep South Mine is similarly hosted by such high gold grade shoots (with results to 12 metres @ 10.6 g/t Au), with broad low grade altered haloes, with mineralisation extending to depths of over 350 metres from surface.

With significant gold mineralisation identified to date, systematic follow-up is required at Coffey Bore during November 2010 as a shallow near surface gold resource may be identified. The source of the gold mineralised syenite dyke (interpreted to lie under alluvial cover to the north of the drilled area), however remains the primary target at this prospect, and is a priority target for drilling in November 2010.

Triumph Project – Edjudina Mine Prospect (Hawthorn 100% and Hawthorn Resources 80%, Avoca Resources 20%). This project area lies approximately 140 km to the north east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and 20 kilometres to the east of the operating Porphyry Gold Mine (Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited) and consists of 32 tenements. The tenements within the project area are either held by Hawthorn solely or in Joint Venture with Avoca Resources Limited. Historic gold production of 33,215 oz @ 46.9 g/t of gold from this prospect was sourced from contiguous underground mines developed on series of sub-parallel quartz lodes over a strike length of 1.4 kilometres between 1898 and 1939. Between 1979-1983 the Paget Gold Mining Company Limited (“Paget”) dewatered and re-timbered the major Neta, Senate and Gawler Shafts within the prospect area. During 1983 Paget issued a Prospectus that reported estimated remnant underground Proven and Probable Reserves in the Edjudina Mine area of 195,500 tonnes @ 12.4 g/t Au. This estimate was made prior to the establishment of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code) and is clearly non-compliant with the Code. Following an initial drill program RC drilling program during the previous quarter which intersected several stopes in the interpreted lode position, historic level plans of underground workings are being compiled to assist assessment of the potential remnant resource and targeted deep drilling planned for 2011. Trouser Legs Project (Hawthorn Resources 70%, Gel Resources 30%) incorporating the Anglo Saxon gold project. The project area is situated approximately 140 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie, and 35 kilometres to the east of the Carosue Dam Operation of Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited. The project area hosts the Anglo-Saxon Mining Area

A re-assessment of existing geophysical and geochemical data has been undertaken with follow up drilling planned for early in 2011. Melita Project (Hawthorn Resources 100%) The Melita Project area is centred to the west of the historic Kookynie – Orient Well Mining centre, approximately 50 kilometres to the south east of Leonora in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The mining centre has produced an estimated historic production of 0.6 Million ounces gold whilst remnant resources in the district are reported to be in excess of 0.4 Million ounces gold. Hawthorn Resources holds 42 granted Exploration and Prospecting Licences throughout this district covering over 150 km² of ground prospective for both gold and potential base metal mineralisation. A 3521 metre RAB drilling program was completed during the quarter in the Dingo Ridge and McCarthy Well area of the project area, primarily to obtain deep geochemical samples in this project area. Drilling was broad spaced on a nominal 300 x 50 metre grid pattern. Results to date have indicated a large number of anomalous results in the 50 -400 ppb Au range at the saprolite / saprock boundary. Further assessment of these results is required prior to future drilling campaigns. Mount Bevan Project – Western Australia (Hawthorn Resources 100%)

The Mount Bevan Project on Exploration Licence 29/510 is located approximately 100 km west of Leonora in the central Yilgarn region of Western Australia. The tenement covers a sequence of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) units, sediments and lavas that dip at 20 – 50% towards the north east. Three substantial BIF horizons have been identified within the tenement to date that extend in a north-northwest orientation throughout the entire length of the tenement; a strike distance of more than 25 kilometres. Exploration to date has confirmed

that Mt Mason DSO iron ore resource of neighbouring ASX-listed Company Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter”), of 5.75 Mt @ 59.9% Fe extends into the southern margin of the project area.

a magnetite iron formation units intersected in the hangingwall of the primary

outcropping Mt Bevan BIF is both strike extensive (over 5.0 kilometres of strike drilled to date) and thick (> 130 metres – open at depth).

Davis Tube Reduction testwork of the Mt Bevan magnetite iron formation has returned a product with over 69% Fe and low deleterious impurities of Si, Al and P.

During the previous quarter results from RC drilling designed to further delineate the Mt Bevan magnetite iron formation horizon were announced. As reported drillholes MBC008, 009 and 018 returned results of

62 metres @ 38.7% Fe from 28 metres to EOH in MBC008 26 metres @ 39.4% Fe from 40 metres to EOH in MBC009 70 metres @ 35.9% Fe from 36 metres to EOH in MBC018

These strong intercepts, and the broad magnetite intercepts previously announced on sections 100, 200, and 400 metres north of the southern boundary of the project area (i.e. 6.0 kilometres south of drillhole MBC018) are considered particularly encouraging. The grade and widths of the magnetite horizon drilled to date are consistent with, and believed analogous to, the “Mt Ida Magnetite Zone” of Jupiter Mines Limited located approximately 7.0 kilometres south of the Project area. Jupiter has announced that a conceptual target of 1.0 -1.3 Billion tonnes of magnetite ore is hosted within the Mt Ida area, with an extensive drill program to be completed in December 2010 designed to provide a JORC compliant resource. Subsequent to the year end Hawthorn and Legacy Iron Ore (“Legacy”) have announced the formation of a Joint Venture designed to hasten the development of the Mt Bevan Iron Ore Project. The terms of the agreement provide that :

Legacy spend $3.5m to develop the Mt Bevan Iron Ore assets to pre-feasibility status

Legacy complete works prior to 31 December 2012.

Legacy will, upon completion, own 60% of the joint venture operation,

Hawthorn retaining the remaining 40%. Ongoing exploration works would be funded pro rata beyond completion.

Legacy have announced that drilling of existing targets in the Mt Bevan Project is scheduled to commence in late 2010. Clarke River Uranium Exploration – Queensland (Northern Resources Australia - 100% owned subsidiary of Hawthorn Resources)

Joint Ventures Lake Rebecca Joint Venture – Western Australia (Renaissance Minerals Limited 90%, Hawthorn Resources 10%). This joint venture coves tenements on the southern margin and within Lake Rebecca, Western Australia, approximately 20 kilometres south of Hawthorns Anglo Saxon Mining Area. The nature of the joint venture changed during the quarter with the former majority holder Newmont Australia Limited, agreeing to sell it’s holding in the joint venture area to Renaissance Mineral Limited. Hawthorn retain a 10% Free carry in the joint venture area until Decision to Mine declaration. Erayinia Joint Venture – Western Australia (ABM Resources 70%, Hawthorn Resources 30%). The Erayinia Joint Venture is centred approximately 130 kilometres south east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The joint venture is managed by ABM Resources NL (“ABM”). ABM report that the project is currently on care and maintenance and that the company is assessing options for further exploration targeting or divestment of this project. Whiteheads Joint Venture – Western Australia (Quantum Resources 80%, Hawthorn Resources 20%). Quantum Resources have reported that no work was undertaken on the Whiteheads JV tenements during the quarter. East Kimberley Joint Venture – Western Australia (Thundelarra 80%, Pindan – Panoramic Resources earning to 48.8% of Thundelarra interest, Hawthorn Resources 20%) Panoramic Resources have reported that no new exploration was undertaken on the East Kimberley Joint Venture during the quarter.
