Notes


1. The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the
   entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on
   its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is
   encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.

2. The 'Nature of interest' (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of
   interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the 
   reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and 
   there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a
   mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and 
   conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

3. Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not
   required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.

4. The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive
   Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

5. Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International
   Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not 
   address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be 
   complied with.
